The Promised Neverland Season 2: Episode 5 or Nah?

I wonder if you still feel big headed after that slide show ending. You're a joke Minashiro, a big fucking joke

Kevin

> unsatisfactory conclusion You don't know that. You know why? Because the conclusion is still almost a month away. But you won't acknowledge even the possibility due to immense butthurt from this show, which just proves my point.

It “picking up” is the show rushing towards an unsatisfactory conclusion. Why can’t you understand that, you braindead bottom barrel fedora tipping scum

Kevin

> always been true Not at all, no. I'm not saying, that this never-ever happened in their life, but as far as this community goes, bros have built up a very good system to avoid spoilers and influence from it. But when it came to TPN2, it all broke down and gone up in flames (I'm blaming mods/editors first and foremost). As for the last part, you severely underestimate human bias to fit in (can't remember how it's properly called in English, not my native language, sorry). There were multiple studies and experiments in psychology on the subject, most famous one being the Asch conformity experiment, but many-many others confirmed its findings. And it all boils down to this: it is extremely difficult to oppose opinions, that you perceive as being the dominant ones. To tie it back here, imagine, that a knowledgeable person, who's opinion you value, comes up and says, that the consensus on the show changed radically after time went by and it's a terrible adaptation overall and will go down in history as one of biggest screw ups of all time. You will not be able to view the show neutrally from there on, I guarantee it. You will focus on the negatives much-much more, thinking to yourself "yeah, he was right, it's not up to par after all". To break out of a very specific skill-set is required, that bros do not have: because they do entertainment/commentary, not critique.

It "picking up" from episode 5 onwards is pretty subjective. Now whether or not the bros would've agreed with you on that one is a moot point since they decided to drop it. You may argue about it being a vote, but ultimately they decided to hold a vote. They could've also easily decided not to have a vote and keep watching. You can argue that they were influenced by outside opinion, and that's true. But that's always been true as well for shows they decide to pick up/react to. Doesn't make TPN2 and it's situation any special. The bros being "robbed" also sounds a tad dramatic. You're underselling their ability to make their own decision should outside opinion, their opinion, or facts suggest otherwise with TPN2 ending better than the manga. Nothing's stopping them from picking up from where they left of if the show somehow ends up being good, or watching and enjoying it on their personal time without outside opinion "ruining" it.

> which it would’ve Except that it doesn't, following pretty meh 4-5 it picks up again and goes pretty well afterwards. Nice try, but you aren't time-traveler after all.

Minashiro Soushi

Scroll up. They literally said that they didn’t like episode 4, and that they would’ve came to this decision anyways if it continued to spiral downhill (which it would’ve). You’re the most dramatic human being i’ve ever met, and that’s annoying

Kevin

Nah, I’m not really that invested in TPN itself and I don’t watch other reactions channels at all. Having thought about it for couple days, now I can say what gets me the most angry here. Like, really angry, enraged even. The fact, that bros were robbed of the ability to potentially enjoy the show. By all those “complainers” who really, and I mean REALLY, disliked the show for one reason or another. If the bros watched the show and hated it as well, I’d be perfectly fine with it. But they don’t have that choice anymore.

Minashiro Soushi

That's your own decision, I find the AOT reactions better because they're half-blind. It's not that serious anyway, there are other reactors if you want to continue TPN. I would've been fine either way since it's their channel, and if they continued with TPN I'm sure it still would have an audience. To me it feels like the bros aren't that jazzed about continuing it, so they're giving us the option to decide.

KaregoAt

Well, obviously, there's a caveat of AOT and other half-blind reactions, but they are exceptions, not the norm. And I find myself skipping a big portion of them.

Minashiro Soushi

I don't think that's entirely true. AOT is an example; I've watched their reactions since S2, and there always was an underlying point that Jacob had already read the manga while Caleb was going in cold turkey.

Sigh... The reaction to TPN is ruined anyways, so it really doesn't matter how the poll goes. The biggest "selling point" of this channel for me was in the fact that bros almost religiously avoided any kinds of spoilers and outside information. And gave their genuine first impressions on stuff. This is not the case anymore for TPN. Even if they continue to watch it, the discussions will be based on bros impressions + the ones from editors with a beef on this show. I don't have any family-friendly words to describe my feelings on this situation.

Minashiro Soushi

oh ok.... I didn't watch much of that series at all but I heard how awful the final season was. I thought they were talking about an anime.

What series are they referring to in this? lol. I can't think of what series they would be talking about.
