What are some of the most outstanding monologues from supporting characters in television you’ve seen? Been watching For All Mankind (highly recommend btw) and Shantel VanSanten has some absolutely brutal scenes where she just steals the entire episode. Spoilers: In S1E2 ‘Rupture’ Karen is talking to Ed through the screen while keeping the secret that their son is dead, she monologues a lie about how he won a basketball game and its insanely comp…

What are some characters that everyone likes but you don’t understand why?

What are some characters that everyone likes but you don’t understand why? For me, I have a long list of them but I’ll just name a few, – Diane from bojack horseman, she was not a good person nor was she the voice of reason, most of the time she was irrational and very dismissive. – Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn nine nine, her character got old too quick she was very boring most of the time and never stood a chance against t…

The cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 is doing a D&D one-shot as their in-game characters

( www.theverge.com )

The cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 is doing a D&D one-shot as their in-game characters Later this week, you can watch many cast members from Baldur’s Gate 3, a game that is based heavily on the mechanics and universe of Dungeons & Dragons, play the tabletop version of Dungeons & Dragons as their characters from the video game. It sounds meta but awesome. The cast members will be appearing on High Rollers, a live-play D&D show that…

One Piece manages to develop and flesh out characters better than a lot of shows currently airing

One Piece manages to develop and flesh out characters better than a lot of shows currently airing It’s only eight episodes long yet somehow I ended up loving all the Straw Hats and the thing that stood out the most was how they managed to develop them in a way that made their personality shine through. Like how Usopp is a massive coward yet still chose to set sail with Luffy and co. knowing the dangers that he’ll eventually have to face. An…

It feels like TV shows now are so fixated on plot progression that they don’t bother convincing you why you need to care for the characters in the first place

It feels like TV shows now are so fixated on plot progression that they don’t bother convincing you why you need to care for the characters in the first place A prime example of this is Ahsoka. I actually watched initial seasons of the Clone Wars so I went in knowing her backstory, yet the episodes released so far have given me no reason to believe she deserved a show to begin with. Instead of focusing on developing what should be an interesting cast, the show dedicates most of its time on exposition …

Baldur’s Gate 3 will defy everyone’s wishes, make characters less horny

( www.theverge.com )

Baldur’s Gate 3 will defy everyone’s wishes, make characters less horny Larian StudiosThe companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 have redefined the term “player-sexual,” or the idea that a character’s romantic and sexual orientation are firmly and solely fixed on the player. Usually, in a game that allows you to romance other characters, it takes a moment for the sparks to really start flying. There’s a general buildup of fl…

Do Most Characters Ever Evolve?

Do Most Characters Ever Evolve? I know I’m a few decades late, but recently started watching Newhart on Amazon Prime. Am almost finished with the second season and really enjoying the series. I’ve read a couple articles about the show, one particularly about how much it improved with season 2 and beyond. Hate to admit it, but I also read the reviews of each episode on IMDB. Ev…

Why do characters always drink whiskey “neat”?

( www.reddit.com )

Why do characters always drink whiskey “neat”? I’ve noticed that characters in TV shows/movies always drink whiskey neat – without any dilution or mixers – and gulp it in one go. In real life, I’ve never seen this happen. Most people will mix it with water, ice or club soda and sip it. submitted by /u/shamu92103

Disney/Marvel should use TV to tell stories of lesser known characters that should be stand alone I’ve seen every Marvel D+ show till now (yes even She Hulk…). I started Secret Invasion but its so meh that I can’t bring myself to finish it. Problem is if I don’t I’m gonna miss some important events/information and facts that are gonna come back in the movies. I’m sick of this. Let the movies be the movies and let the shows be the shows.

I’m on ep3 of the new Justified and Willa is rapidly becoming one of my most hated kiddie characters ever

( www.reddit.com )

I’m on ep3 of the new Justified and Willa is rapidly becoming one of my most hated kiddie characters ever And that’s saying something. I’m not sure what I hate more, the character or the acting. Because it’s not just Olyphant’s daughter’s lack of talent – the writing for her character is just bad. I love the show otherwise but they’re forcing these horrible monologues on her that (a) no kid would ever say, no matter how precocious, and (b) that the …

Which cartoon characters you found very annoying when you were a kid? Bright Eyes and Brattina (that VOICE!!!) from POUND PUPPIES Webby and Bubba the Caveduck from DUCKTALES. Webby was just too one-dimensional, always whining and that doll, why did she even want to go on adventures? Thank god she wasn’t a regular on every adventure. And Bubba got way too much focus. As a kid, I felt like the show became about Bubb…

Who are some of the silliest characters you’ve seen on TV? I’m trying to channel the silly carefree energy I once had before a trip so I was hoping to watch some shows with characters who are silly for silliness sake.

Who are some antagonists or characters that we’re supposed to dislike but they really aren’t bad people?

Who are some antagonists or characters that we’re supposed to dislike but they really aren’t bad people? Major Charles Emerson Winchester III from MASH. Yes, he’s a pompous, arrogant, elitist snob but he is shown on multiple occasions to really be a decent, caring human being underneath that curmudgeonly exterior. In fact, I find that the older I get and the more I watch, the more I think he’s actually a better person than main protagonist Hawkeye …
