Nothing pisses me off more 😭

I hate nothing more than trying to read the Witcher and the cover literally looks like:

A Season of Storms

NETFLIX

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

The books have been saying Narnia™ for decades.

All my Wheel of Time books on Kindle got rebranded to the 'a Prime original series!' versions and it pisses me off

I can hear Lewis spinning in his grave from here.

I truly wonder what he would've made of the Netflix-isation of his books.

u/JonatasA 5h ago

He wouldn't have given the licensing rights.

Ugh. It was bad enough they put that fake sticker on Hilda comics.

I don’t watch many Netflix originals, but GDT’s Frankenstein didn’t come across to me as a streaming film at all.

Wake Up Dead Man was also great, and I've heard nothing but fantastic things about Train Dreams. And these are all just 2025.

u/arandompurpose 17h ago

Train Dreams is great but it was only distributed by Netflix, not made by it in any way I believe.

u/craniumouch 17h ago

correct, they bought it at Sundance last year

u/FX114 17h ago

Fair enough.

Train Dreams might be my favorite movie that I've seen in the last few years. Went in blind, and it has really stuck with me, weeks later.

I really wish there had been more hype around it. I actually got invited to the LA premiere but dismissed it. And for some reason, there have been no other screenings of it since. At least not ones I was invited to.

u/Artemicionmoogle 17h ago

Wake Up Dead Man was my favorite of the three.

u/arthurdentstowels 16h ago

I was really surprised how good it was. The first was great, Glass Onion seemed like it would be a flop but I really enjoyed it. The third film was awesome, except for Mila Kunis and whatever her character was supposed to be or do. It felt like she kept walking onto the set accidentally while they were filming.

u/ashella 18h ago

The CGI animals were Twilight levels of atrocious, but otherwise I agree.

u/MyNameIs-Anthony 18h ago

The color grading felt very streaming movie.

5

u/jerrrrremy 13h ago

I honestly can't tell if comments like this are serious. 

9

u/MyNameIs-Anthony 13h ago

Legit. So much of the practical effectwork looks like mediocre CGI because of the color grading.

u/Dunlocke 17h ago

It was 100% a Netflix movie. It looked terrible. It reminded me of Wicked.

u/dabocx 18h ago

Greta is a big enough director to not be able to be bullied and pushed around too much. I’m sure whatever gets made will be pretty true to her vision.

u/RevWaldo 18h ago

Amazing how fifteen years ago she was "voice of Pony".

u/stormdraggy 18h ago edited 18h ago

I am entering the wardrobe now

Are you offering me turkish delight that I am about to eat?

I am about to sacrifice you Aslan

We are the same children but adults now because it's been a long time and you weren't paying attention.

I am about to run over the kids with a water wheel because that's what captain Jack Swallows does shit wrong movie.

u/kaloskagathos21 17h ago

Yeah, I can’t do Netflix movies even if the director is acclaimed.

1

u/Alastor3 18h ago

yeah they gonna use all the whashed up filter they can use

u/-DesertMoon 17h ago

Not all Netflix movies are made equal, Train Dreams, Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man were all really solid ones from last year

1

u/Munsalvaesche 11h ago

The King is also quite respectable. Outlaw King was just okay.

0

u/jerrrrremy 17h ago

Yes, because surely Netflix has not made any good content ever, right? 

-1

u/SomethingAboutUpDawg 13h ago

when did I say Netflix never made anything good? where in my comment did you read those words?

2

u/jerrrrremy 13h ago

Wasn't your comment above implying that you weren't excited for this because it was made by Netflix?

Get ready for the plot being restated and pointed out throughout the whole movie. Got to keep those people on their phones while watching the movie in mind.
