Westworld season 1 was a masterpiece. I felt like Season 2 lost the plot. I'm not excited for 3.
It almost seems like a soft reboot, season 1 was a self contained wonder and I'm not surprised with how awkward the second season turned out.
Like sure I'm not going to go "yeah Season 3 is going to suck" - it'll probably be good television. I just am pretty sure it's not going to feel like it has much to do with Season 1, thematically or otherwise. I hope I'm wrong tho.
Season 2 was good, but it certainly felt like it was walking right on the edge of that cliff that good shows seem to constantly fall off. When things get bigger, they fail under their own complexity and size. Writers need to learn how to extend and expand universe without over complicating plot.
Season 1 was great, season 2 was okay. I hope this pans out because it does look interesting to me and I can see this going well and some interesting plot lines coming out of this.
I saw this before GoT and I honestly had no idea what it was until the title drop. Not sure if that can be counted as a good thing or a bad thing. I am, however, a little worried that it will stray too far from its titular Westworld and the other parks.
Honestly, I can't wait to see what they are going to do with this and how different it will be. I'm hoping it's gonna be on the level of s1 and it's own self contained story which it seems like it's going to be. I'm hearing people say that this is futureworld. I'm inclined to believe that, look at the setting whose playing the "main" character this season it's like something out of gta5 mixed with cyberpunk.
I'm just curious as to where the overall show is going after last seasons because, like I said, I didn't even recognize it was Westworld until the title.
I'm more interested in a show called westerworld that is not about westworld than i am whatever that second season was about. Just making everything complex for the sake of being complex is not better than actually trying to go somewhere with what the plot of season 1 meant out of the context of westworld. Maybe season 2 is a mechanical transitory season explaining that the rules aren't the rules but i'm more interested in something different than i am something vaguely familiar at this point. I know that is confusing, but like for Avatar sequels i'd rather it be something different that uses the avatar technology not just blue aliens if that makes sense. The ven diagram commonality doesn't have to be what it's known for you know?
I just noticed these in the trailer. Kind of confirms the Futureworld theory to me. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/114636/2540a5a7-049a-4fbc-b2bf-7bce628cdd9e/Capture.PNG https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/114636/d8fd0834-4e08-407e-93f4-18be91fa10ae/Capture 2.PNG
By the looks of it, they are ditching the western setting entirely in favor of some sort of Ghost in the Shell/Bladerunner reharse. I don't exactly mind, but given the downright atrocious second season, I'll be extremely careful about this
I honestly don't care about Ford's plan or the other parks or the robolution, i just want more existential robot titties
Dolores is the show's moral anchor in s1 and you don't expect the time-lapse twist, Bernard being an audience vessel instead of a gripping character and using cut-to-blacks cheapened the show.
its gta online world, fuuuuuuuuuucccck, bitch.
This doesn't even look like the same show anymore.
