Several people had recommended that I watch Mythic Quest.
They thought I would like it based on the fact that I could stomach it’s always sunny in Philadelphia.
I watched the first three episodes and I hate every single character.
Every single person in that show is selfish, narcissistic, stuck up, or just straight up evil. They don’t listen to each other. They don’t interact with each other. And the plot of every episode so far is “a group of terrible people interact with each other”.
I regret having watched three episodes of Mythic Quest.
lol. Have you actually watched Always Sunny? They are the worst people in the world. I feel like they are way worse than Mythic Quest characters.
But either way, that’s what I love about these shows! I’m sick of being angry about the dumb-dumbs around me; I may as well laugh at them. It’s even better when you find one in the wild who loves the show.
Yeah, Mythic Quest was at least funny. Always Sunny is just painfully unwatchable. At least the characters in the former have some redeeming qualities, like the capacity to love or create art.
I feel like it’s the opposite because it’s always sunny has a “straight man” character in every episode, and that person changes from episode to episode.
In the three episodes I watched of Mythic Quest, not one single person was the straight man. Even the main female coder who is played as the straight man is frequently, completely and totally irrational. And lack self-awareness to the point that, like, I got emotionally angry at them for the choices they were making.
Like in the episode where the guy that played Abed in community shut down the payment servers and made all of the products free, that’s corporate espionage, that cost them hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, he should be fired and possibly arrested for that, it was a fucking crime and instead at the end he wins and nobody does anything to him, like everybody in the entire show is stupid.
The psychopath intern running around trying to convince 14-year-olds to commit suicide and it being played off as a laugh is the kind of shit that should never ever happen in a TV show meant to entertain.
I have too much rant built up for too little show.
Well, I appear to already have you tagged as “doesn’t get jokes,” so this seems pretty on-brand.
That’s funny. A more apt tag would be something like, I don’t always respond to the joke as given.
Right, because you don’t get it.
From the comedic genius who doesn’t get Always Sunny lol.
Despite what you tagged the OP, nothing you’ve said has made me laugh. I have a feeling there’s not much to get with your jokes, just snide pretension.
I get it, it’s just not funny.
how dare you say that about Poppy 😭
I’m astounded that people like watching shows where you hate every character. It doesn’t mean you get to laugh at dumb people around you, it means you’re normalizing being the worst human you possibly can be. These shows are making people worse human beings.
This is the same argument as “video games make kids violent”.
These shows don’t normalize the behavior at all
They’re fictional shows. I like the characters because I know it’s fake and think their dumb interactions are funny. How are these making people worse? Is this like violence in video games causing school shootings?
On archer, the worst characters were the best ones. Archer, Krieger, Cheryl and malory were amazing. Lana was only funny when she was pissed. I loved that they often like blew away the bad guys with how fucked up they are.
Nah it’s that people look up to celebrities and their actions. People know video games are fake, but there are plenty of documented cases of people not understanding tv shows are. In my case I’ve watched people change visibly from watching shows like how I met your mother. That’s anecdotal, but the studies around psychiatric disorders for people thinking characters in shows are real aren’t.
People that can’t tell when an obviously fake show is fake are idiots. Who changes their views on life from watching HIMYM? Yea, Barney is a misogynistic turd, but he often gets what’s coming to him and has many redemption arcs throughout the series. The whole point of the show is a man who found love, while also showing tight relationships, both friendship and love, throughout. There’s regret , sadness, and happiness. Anyone that cherry picks and is influenced the bad stuff are people already like.
Every not childrens story whether in books or visual media has an antagonist. Siding with them is telling of the person who does so.
