Anyone else watching your weekly dose of kung fu and ninja action?
Stair ninjas, vanish!
Nice try AMC
>>63170198
She's so pretty.
ffs the baron should have killed the fucking widow. 10 inch plot armor.
Yes, but I couldn't tell you why.
>>63170158
BARON VS WIDOW WASNT BAD
Fail for her getting distracted by sunny tho.
Like he was a god 10ft away and she could have ended his ass instead of running
>>63170158
The highlight of the episode just happened, i'm out.
INCEST
I don't get it, who the fuck is the antagonist? Quinn or Widow?
>tfw started thread last week and dumped all the info graphics from the site but no one cares about the show
>>63170681
Nigga you blind, they used crossbows
>>63170650
I care anon.
I find it appalling that the Walking fucking Dead general has so many posters but no one likes Badlands. Sure it's no Breaking Bad but it's way more entertaining than the bullshit that is Walking Meme.
>>63170681
They literally just used crossbows this episode. Not even 10 minutes ago. Your opinion is automatically invalidated.
>>63170714
I hope it eventually cathces on, but I have a feeling this may only see one season.
>>63170712
Well shit, that'll teach me to half-watch something.
>>63170751
>defending the total nonexistence of guns in a world with fucking internal combustion engines
wew lad
>>63170714
People are invested in walking shits, we admit it's shit but still watch the shit because of how long it's been on.
Badlands is just 2bland4me
>>63170714
Hating The Walking Dead is the biggest meme on this board. The last couple seasons have been better than half the shit /tv/ obsesses over, but some fags still won't let go of how mediocre seasons 2 and 3 were.
I've got a season pass on iTunes, because fuck me kung fu violence is fun as fuck.
Don't know if they come out the same time as on the TV though.
>>63170796
>thinks guns are nonexistent
>not watching the first fucking episode where they explain that firearms are banned by the Barons
Wew mad.
based Lang, why does he keep getting casted in doomed shows?
>>63170158
more like into the bad show
>>63170866
so what's stopping one baron from making them and decimating the rest?
oh yeah, literally nothing
>>63170811
You're going to defend the show even after that garbage mid-season finale?
>nothing happens for 50 fucking minutes
>Carol has a gun but uses a knife so Morgan can disarm her
>Wolf has three guns pointed on him and his head exposed 3 feet away but they let him take a hostage because of his kilometer thick plot armor
The Wew Dead is just as shit as always.
>>63170925
They put a magic curse on guns that kills anyone who makes one. Try to keep up with the lore.
>>63170925
What's stopping America from launching all its nukes even though they're banned by Geneva? You don't understand geopolitics at all.
>>63170983
>comparing nukes to flintlock rifles
>comparing this "wasteland" to the modern world stage
hot dog, anon
>>63170925
one baron would never be able to kill the rest fast enough before others start making their own guns
you kill maybe two barons or so before the rest annihilate the gun baron with their own guns
Is that a fucking pompadour-afro? Why and how?
>>63170866
>implying the Barons would not have guns themselves like every other ruler to ever ban any weapon in human history
>implying no one would just manufacture new ones or import them to easily fuck over the Barons who have no way of enforcing a gun ban without them themselves
I have no idea why they set it in the future since the only technology they utilize is a fucking motorbike and they even have mystical elements, they should have really set it in historical China or something
>>63170158
Damn sunny pulled some crouching tiger shit on that balcony
go
GO
>the most dangerous assasin in the Badlands is BTFO and outwitted by some random slut
Dropped.
>>63171366
>feeling
wut?all she did was run then killed herself.
>>63171366
>BTFO
he literally curbstomped her so bad she chose to kill herself rather than keep fighting
>>63171394
She fought on par with him and injured him. She's the first character to do so. Some random hooker. Against the most skilled killer in the show.
>>63171467
No she didn't the first thing she did was throw a silk blanket as a misdirection then slashed him then ran away.
You know this show would be better if they went full mystic kung fu with it like giving sunny some aura shit that let's him increase strength, focus, and speed and shit instead of just MK with psycho mode. Hell nigga like IRon Fist would be cool I know they can do better since they have people from tai chi zero film series working on it.
no way she fucks him
no fuckin way
>>63171525
The kid has some secret power bullshit that they have hinting at.
>>63171562
I know MK has the black eyes psycho mode if is blood spills or if he gets cut
>into the brolands
sounds great desu senpai
Does Rider have combat training? Will we get to see him kick some ass? I was hype last week but then he just got hung from the ceiling immediately.
Who's this bitch? All these white hoes look the same
Hype for Jacoby. I bet he's a badass.
>>63171807
I bet Quin kills him and takes his shit too
>keeping the shit that your enemies would bust a nut over
>>63170198
>>63170225
Tilda is mai kungfu
baron NO
BARON STOP
what were his last lines? i missed them
>you save my son, and i save [???]
Does anyone feel that Quinn is the only genuinely good character in the show?
Also holy shit next week looks dope
>>63171916
he wants her to deal with his tumor
>>63171916
He want's her to remove his cancer.
>>63171922
Quinn and that wheelchair guy. Agreed with next week.
>>63171916
>you saved my son, now save me
is how I heard it...
>>63171922
I like his southern drawl a lot, yeah.Sucked about killing those two old folk though
>>63171916
"Now you have to save me", or something. I thought at first he was making a move but I think he wants his cancer cured.
>>63171922
I've been saying that all along, it's because his actor is the most talented one on this show, also he used to bang Eva Green
So I posted this earlier and got no answers...
Is Quinn the antagonist, or The Widow? For some reason I feel sympathetic towards Quinn even after the doctor thing. He just wants to protect his family and title, the Widow is power hungry and warmongering.
>>63171835
I bet he's black
>>63172023
I'd say there's no clear cut good guys/bad guys, the relationship between Barons is shaky to begin with, first time we meet the Widow she sics her goons on Sunny knowing full well who he is
>IMDB: 8.5/10
>TV.com: 8.1/10
>Metacritic: 54%
What's going on here
>widow tries her flippy ninja bullshit
>baron constantly has her on the backfoot with his longsword, brute HEMA tactics and OVERWHELMING FORCE
My dick was hard the entire fight
What's the over/under on New Wife having had a fling with Quinn's New Medicine Woman?
>>63172023
Probably all the barons are the antagonists
>>63172024
Good guess
I'm sad to see the negative reviews for this. Is a season 2 even on the table anymore? I genuinely enjoy this show. Finally a decent martial arts show and it gets shit on by normies who would rather watch The Wew Dead.
>>63172146
Baron v Widow for me is tied with best fight so far, next to Sunny vs Widow's clippers in the rain.
>>63172184
Hey it's Darwin
I knew it the moment his regent was a pale white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes
>>63172224
That's the thing anon. This is just almost decent.
>>63172255
Widow's DMC3 stripjoint brawl was pretty badass too
>>63172302
Daniel Radcliffe's transition is going really well
>>63172184
Usually I hate niggers but he looks like he could be a cool dude. If he doesn't talk like a faggot, uses a cool weapon, and wears that cool coat all the time.
>>63172330
Snek
>>63172330
Hue. She's got an Antje Traue thing going on, greek genes are weird.
Still a cutie in my book though.
>>63172331
>If he doesn't talk like a faggot, uses a cool weapon, and wears that cool coat all the time.
But that's everybody in the show to a T.
>>63172331
>>63172354
If everyone in this show had southern accents instead of just Baron, this show would be 1000 times better
I mostly enjoy the show, but the kid is faggot.
>>63171969
Are you kidding me with this shit; she's like 5'7" do you expect me to believe she can generate enough stripper power to trip two people and magically slice another one 20 times (for no reason)? Is she a rogue? Was that guy stunlocked in place? What stupid show
>>63172394
But then Quinn would lose the best thing about him: his unique drawl. He's still a well-written character but his accent and mannerisms are by far the best thing in the show.
Also
>Daniel Wu trying to talk with a southern drawl
No thanks.
>>63172409
>asking such questions about a wuxia show
come on son
>>63172436
There's more than just one southern drawl, though. Florida doesn't sound like Bama doesn't sound like Georgia doesn't sound like Mississippi doesn't sound like Louisiana doesn't sound like Texas.
>>63172409
This is why the show is getting negative reviews, posts like this.
>>63172409
Actually she's a monk, that's clearly Flurry of Blows
>>63172511
This. The show should be reviewed strictly by martial arts critics (though it would still most likely be mixed). The faggots from normie shit like IMDB and Metacritic are reviewing it badly because they're expecting it to be The Sopranos when it's a fucking wuxia show, and should be treated as such.
>>63172511
Or maybe you know
The white woman with two daggers is slashing (the most inefficient way to use these weapons) the ratings
>>63172572
I actually hated The Sopranos
Nice try
>>63172402
Aren't all "average teenage" characters/protagonist faggots?
>>63172581
Did that post seem clever to you when you were typing it out?
>>63172618
usually yes
He's a shonen hero faggot though, he's got the inner demon thing going on
So how's it going to go? Is it going to be an actual magical explanation ("you're possessed") or some psuedoscience cop-out?
>>63172618
Sure, but he reached a new level of petulance this episode.
>>63172618
Belgarion wasn't...for long anyway
>you will never slap a guy so hard he bursts into flames
>>63172634
it was more clever than this terrible show
>>63172848
But all tv is shit, anon. There's literally not a single good thing airing right now. This at least has action and southern accents.
>>63172918
I've just been playing doubles advocate
I'm probably going to watch this show
>>63172918
The Monster Inside of Me is pretty good. Nothing like hearing stories of people dying of diseases.
>>63173135
It's "Monsters Inside Me", anon. And I guess, though I was aiming more towards drama television, not educational/reality programming.
>>63173294
Oh, I was close though. But that's true I guess.
is there a more compelling character on tv right now? this guy DOMINATES the screen.
give him at least a fucking Golden Globe
>3 episodes in
>war
this show has no breaks, i hope it stays 6 episodes every season. there's no filler.
>show sucks because it isn't realistic
what the fuck is wrong with your brain
>>63173578
this show is destined to be a cult show because people are narrow minded as fuck
dat wheelchair-fu
kek
>>63173622
>mfw this scene
>>63173489
This. Quinn is far and away the best character in the series and probably one of the best characters in tv right now. Sad to see him stuck in a show doomed to fail.
So I'mGay's powers are dependent on him bleeding, right?
So is he going to cut himself before going into battle? Are we going to see soccer moms starting petitions against this like they did with Nurutu Sand Ninjas?
>>63173578
there's a difference between being unrealistic and impossible
>>63173722
It's wuxia so you gotta have the old crippled master, but damn if it wasn't cringy, that choreo was so shit
>>63173722
Question, where did mk pull his kungfu out of? Wasn't he just a pleb cog or had he done some training already while half the shit was going on?
>>63173803
definitely the worst choreography of the series, but it had great concept and comedic value
best wife on tv
seriously this guy deserves at least a nomination
>>63173897
Maybe it's my MILF fetish speaking, but I'd fuck Old and Busted into submission, New Hotness just isn't doing it for me
That decolletage hnnnnnnnng
http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/into-the-badlands-daniel-wu-sees-five-or-six-seasons-for-amc-series-40511/
hope it runs that long.
The outfits and the setting clash so much, it really throws me off.
Bump.
It's sad that walking meme keks are shitting on this show so hard
>>63174905
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Really it's only Quinn's Clippers' outfits that bug me. Everyone else seems to be dressed in contemporary finery, but then the clippers have that awful red leather thing going on.
>>63174139
>record ratings
Yeah, gonna say that's probably massively bolstered by the fact that AMC craftily put the Walking Meme previews after the first Badlands commercial break. Touché, AMC.
>>63174905
>>63174988
It's clearly a post-apoc setting, where we've finally moved past neo-tribal communities to neo-feudal
>>63174988
What are you talking about anon, doesn't the Armadillo, poppies fields and red leather vests go great together?
>baron's second wife just so happens to be childhood friends with sunny's pregnant gf who just so happens to be the adopted daughter of the doctor who just so happened to be killed by the baron who just so happened to bring sunny along with him who just so happened to tell his gf
What was the language in the book? Looked like sanskrit.
>>63170198
>>63171891
>>63172302
>>63172330
She looks like a young female Joaquin Phoenix to me.
>>63175910
I'm guessing it's a rather small community.
I am seriously loving this show. I don't understand the negativity towards it.
Pretty neat show so far. Don't get the criticism of it, but I'm enjoying it.
>>63171467
He got injured during the ambush of episode 1.
>>63171467
>wanting plot armor
Baron Quinn and Sunny were complete badasses this episode. That Baron fight was pretty amazing.
>>63173809
Body is still warm and intact.
>MK episode 1 and 2
>Both Quinn and Minvera want to teach him how to fight to defend himself
>"I don't want to fight!"
>MK episode 3
>"Sunny teach me how to fight so I can defend myself!"
Jesus christ this kid. And of course he and the girl instantly fell in love for drama.
>Asian MC
>Baroness' team full of womyn killas
Surprised Tumblr hasn't jumped all over this shit yet
>>63177475
It needs someone to be genderfluid then they will.
>>63177475
>Implying Sunny is the MC
He's just the Han Solo to MK's Luke.
>>63177578
>implying Han wasn't the real MC
>>63170578
All the Barons are shitbags, it seems, so they're all the antagonists and the lowly Cogs and refugees are the heroes. It's basic baby-tier class warfare paint-by-numbers storytelling.
>>63172184
Is he leaving The Blacklist?
>>63173722
>tfw that guy played Pickett in Gettysburg
>"General Lee, I have no legs".
>>63173809
>Runs away barefoot
>Dies with pantyhose and shoes
>>63170650
Hey I remember that
totally sperged out over how Quinn's supposed late medieval longsword had a spatha/viking sword guard
>>63174045
>decolletage
Thank you for expanding my vocab
So this is what a live action anime looks like done by westerners
>>63171891
that fight is shit
>>63178659
And he played the General in Avatar. Where the MC was a paraplegic.
Seems wheelchairs just haunt this guy.
>>63181827
>So this is what a live action anime looks like done by westerners
Ever heard of the Matrix?
>>63181843
It's not a fightit's an execution
>>63181866
Nah what dat?
what i really love about this show is that it's actually ABOUT the world its in. a lot of shows will have an interesting setting and spend half their runtime on boring ass relationship drama.
here you have war, politics, weird economic landscapes
>>63179733
What were those spines on the blade of Quinn's sword? Was that a realistic sword design?
>>63183114
This. I love how each Baron is a certain economic power, like Quinn with poppies and the Widow with oil.
Can anyone pinpoint Quinn's accent? At first I thought Louisiana but it doesn't seem to have that distinctive bayou sound. Maybe Georgia?
>>63183572sexy
Maybe I wasn't paying attention at some point but what's a "regent"? Is Sunny a regent?
Do you think Quinn has a gun in his safe
>>63183885
Didn't look like it. It's possible but I think he's too proud to do something like that unless it's an absolute last resort.
My question of the week is: do you think Veil can/will cure Quinn? I can't see them killing him off considering he's far and away the most popular character. Maybe he gets cured.
