i watched the first episode of love death robots
okay so this is a polar express animation show and the first thing that happens is edgy DmC devil may cry characters have bio cybernetic telepathic pokemon battles and a guy is trying to pay the edgy characters to lose tonights match. And the leader says "no, this is about winning and pride." Then her friend out of the blue exposition dumps to the guy about how she was raped and her doing cybernetic battle pokemon bots is how she gets revenge.
The cybernetic battle pokemon look like xenomorphs. Leader girl jacks into the pokemon and the other guy does to. They fight and she wins. After a girl who was with the guy trying to throw the match immediately wants to have lesbian sex with the leader lady. They start making out and I get to see polar express animation titties. Then girl turns out to be an assassin and tries killing the leader girl with her claws. Then the guy from earlier comes in and laughs "mwah ha ha, this is what you get for refusing to throw the telepathic pokemon match"
But then it turns out the lady was actually the pokemon this whole time and that the thing they killed was a robot of her and she then murders them both.
The end.

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
i'm just binging this now
ep3: yawner. a drawn-out chase sequence with a kinda predictable and inscrutable ending
ep4: pretty cool, looks and feels like a video game universe. reminds me much of Into The Breach
ep5: not terribly interesting in concept, but a fun watch that's got jokes. i liked how over-the-top silly the first bit of gore was when the young dude gets sliced in half and falls apart one layer at a time
ep6: eh. the jokes at the beginning were the most amusing part
ep7: i am not sure what i expected but it definitely wasn't that

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
ep8: that took a somewhat unexpected turn halfway through. alarmingly creepy plot point near the end, but the payoff was worth it. also, bunnies!
ep9: gross! kinda predictable! kinda cute in its own freaky way!
ep10: that was absolutely corny
ep11: gaaaaHHHhhHHH
ep12: neat and horrifying

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
i prob. won't go over any of this in detail so if you do watch the rest it'd be pretty cool to hear your thoughts
talking at length about movies/TV or storytelling in general isn't really my Thing. that part of my brain has developed around game design

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
finishing up
ep13: i was expecting something more horror-like with how things were first portrayed. turned out to be a rather generic story about pilots having superstitions about their vessels and the bond they share
ep14:
ep15: t'was cute. basically a kids' cartoon if you remove the cussing and lewd jokes
ep16: i wasn't sure about ep13 but this has gotta be live action. i like the lightheartedness of it. concept is p. cool
ep17: just fucking hilarious
ep18: another Video Game Story if you ask me

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
i think my favorites would have to be episodes 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 17. they've all got stuff about them that is either awesome or intriguing (or in 17's case just plain funny)
it's a pretty good watch overall, but every episode feels like a completely different show so there's going to be hits and misses for sure. either way it was cool to tour these various sci-fi and fantasy worlds through their variety of animation styles

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
I heard the show has some issues with (sadly still horror genre-typical) sexism, as in, women are mainly either sex objects or victims of violence, but I sadly expected that, my standards are low
curious to check this out anyway and make my own opinion, I find anthology stuff neat because you get a mix of things and a bunch of different creative voices in one package

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Anyway I saw ep 2. It has three robots going on a tour through a city snarking on how humans killed themselves. Turns out they engineered cats to basically destroy the human race. One of the cats is voiced by Chris Parnell and for once is not voicing an exasperated 40 year old failing at life.

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Okay episode 3 has a lady seeing a murder and the victim looks like her and the guy that murdered her freaks out and runs after her. The lady, rather than calling the police immediately freaks out and goes to her job at the strip club and then calls the police then some guy named vladmir.
We get to the strip club thing and I get to see more polar express titties as the guy is in there and gets covered in girls in leather and the lady dances. Then she sees him freaks out, and runs naked out into the city that apparently no one fucking lives in and he chases after her to an apartment building where no one fucking lives. She shoots him this time then she sees a guy in an apartment that looks like the guy she just shot witnesses her murdering a guy.
The implication is that these two people are just murdering each other's clones or some shit in some kind of cycle. It's really deep especially the polar express vagina and titties you see because...
Yeah, not gonna lie this was a total miss. Better luck next time studio that made this one

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
that would make sense since the first episode was very clearly written by a someone who thinks people who aren't him always fuck at the drop of a hat which, tbh, is very characteristic writing of a man that doesn't understand relationships

episode 8 (Good Hunting) has a really icky and unnecessary plot point in particular, but the satisfying ending made it worthwhile to me

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Ep 4 is some farmers defending their farms from insects in mechs. There's a shield that goes down and they have to use their mechs to keep these alien shits from killing the shit out of them and their livestock and families after a part of their shield goes down.
One of the guys blows himself up to sacrifice himself then they have to kill the final boss alien that shows up and one of the mech guy's wife shoots it in the mouth. Then they close the shield and everything is fine again. I turns out there's a bunch of these shielded biomes on these planets that are swarmed by these hostile alien things constantly trying to swarm shields and break into the biomes. They are trying to get "Into the Breach" as it were.
I very much got a star craft vibe from it with the farmers being the terran and the aliens being like the zerg.
Overall I'd say this is one of my favorite episodes so far even if the animation is janky. The characters are fun and the story doesn't try something too crazy, but I kind of liked that for this one.

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Ep6:
This one is basically yogurt comes to life and turns out to be the best leader ever then becomes sentient goes to space.
The best part about this is Maurice Lamarche's narration who adds to the silly pulpy vibe of this one.
Overall I thought it was okay, but it was pretty open and shut case of this one being made only for this compilation. Some of the other ones feel like they could be their own stand-alone series. This one not so much.

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
it may just be incidental but my episode order is also consistent with wikipediaIn March 2019, Netflix revealed that it was experimenting with a new approach by including a different order of episodes to different users.[11] In response to an accusation that the episode order was based on the streaming company's perception of a user's sexual orientation, Netflix responded via Twitter that there were four unique episode orders, released to users at random.[12][11]
i have no idea what data they aimed to collect from an experiment like this, but they may have already stopped doing it by now

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Ep7 or beyond the Aquilla rift is actually really cool but also fucked.
Starts with a crew jumping to hyperspace. Then they wake up from their pods and they got rerouted way off course according to the guy's old flame who is at this station that is way off course.
There is indeed tits in this one as they proceed to fuck.
Then one of the crew wakes up and attacks the girl and leaves a scar on her so they put the crew member back to sleep in the pod.
Later after the guy notices the girl's scar is gone and realizes this shit has to be fake because her scar is gone.
And then it turns out this is all a simulation and he's really in an alien spider nest because the spiders can magically simulate reality. Also it's been a hundred years since the jump to hyper space and yeah shit is fucked thanks to bad programming.
Then the spider lady restarts the simulation after the guy freaks out. It's kind of unclear if the alien spider is actually benevolent, but she does claim to care for everyone who ends up in the place.

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
This is one of those ones I would like to see a full series on because it was really cool, but also horrific and I wanted to see where went.
Is spider girl actually good? Did the spider actually fuck this guy as a spider or was it just still simulation? Is it really 100 years in the future? Are the crew really stuck here? Why doesn't the spider just simulate that he has amnesia if she was already able to erase memories of his first simulation?

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
i really loved that episode in particular. it's just got this awe-inspiring psychological horror thing going on. a simple routing error flings people to some distant reach of space over such a long period of time that even their stasis pod things can't preserve them. if they survive the trip at all, what they have left is some space alien equivalent of Maiden Astraea nested there to keep them asleep and dreaming of a better reality than the one they've been dealt
on first watch i was wondering why they never try to awaken the other crew member, then you see in the reveal that he looks like he's been dead for quite some time. it sort of answers one question but raises several more about what actually went on with the girl in his crew. like did she manage to wake up somehow and influence the main guy's dream while she was freaking out about it?
whether it was deliberately written this way or not, the way so much is left to the imagination makes it super intriguing

Re: i watched the first episode of love death robots
Apparently it's based off an actual short story and I think it's written by the same guy who wrote one of the other things. Zima Blue.
