>Worldbuilding

Why is every single science fiction and fantasy television show so bad at this?

And I do mean tv shows because books films and video games do it perfectly.

They're all shot in Canada using the same sets (shot patterns, directors, lighting, ect).

Good world building is fucking expensive.

How do you do a good world building?
>>
Because creating a show that you want to make money with that actually interests people is toooooo haaarrrrdd uh

hollywood thinks people who watch TV are retards

Only plebs care about something so insignificant and arbitrary as "world building"

It only takes one scene that feels right but at the same time, slightly wrong.

Every famous or good show has an interesting atmosphere due to the angle the world is presented

This is why you go to anime for sf/fantasy.

There are no physical constraints.

Check out The Expanse though. I thought it did a really decent job.

But there are emotional constraints. There's nothing creepier than watching a show written by someone who's never lived their own life and you can see their autistic point of view on life in every single frame they touch, even when, or especially when I should say, you're watching a metal robot teen girl fly through the sky and call out the name of her attack with her arms behind her back before she magically transforms into a super version and they show her clothes disappearing and the next level of armor attaching to her skin.

Anime is such a fucking autistic medium.

The Expanse did it best

incredible -- get it and read it

There's your problem.

if you want complex actualization of ideas, read a book. Television has too many formula obligations to have more than a few minutes per episode to devote to anything else.

Nigga what? That whole tarot card reading scene is very important.

I'm not, McCarthy a shit

t. capeshit fan

Nothing in western """""cinema""""" even comes close to even recent anime masterpieces like Madoka or Tatami Galaxy

I hate superheroes as well.
>>
>>66714389
spend a lot of money and time constructing good sets, and you also need good source material

see: LOTR
>>
>>66714740
meh... all I know is that shows like Cowboy Bebop, GitS:SAC, 12 Kingdoms, etc. have more effective world-building than any live action sf/fant I've ever seen.

The Expanse used the same industrial warehouse ethos as Battlestar Galacta 20 years ago. If the future looks like that I may as well move into the Chrysler plant now.

capeshit and anime are both fucking awful

The thing is it actually fits contextually... industrial warehouses for an entire society of asteroid miners.

You basically waste really cool effects/ideas on background.

Like the Star Wars cantina scene. Tons of costumes and extras in those costumes. All to set up a tone for the place.

You basically have to show that the world around the heroes goes on without them.

>>66715154
There's barely any difference, anon

Most overrated pîece of shit I know. I tolerated McCarthy's style for The Road but this one is atrocious. The guy can't write a correct sentence to save his life.
