I'm black and modern shows have literally made me hate seeing people my own race because I know they're going to be written badly. Glad to see I'm not alone seeing the trend of black female characters always being aggressive or lesbian or both with being unlikable characters.
Exactly!!! There's already the stupid angry black woman trope and it really is a bad luck when studios do this. By claiming that they're being inclusive they're actually perpetuating the negative stereotype, not just for black women but for lesbians as well. It's laziness and ignorance. I called out before how it's annoying when they just lazily rinse and repeat already established characters and give the crumbs to black people. Then when they do try to write original characters or race bend them, they make the black counterparts worse than the white ones were. We seriously need to unpack that.
@@Alteori its more sad when older shows made better black characters who are more likeable and well rounded.
@Alteori black women myself totally agree!!! These moronic twats always moan and groan about straight white guys but forget other races are straight too. Japan understands that traditional love family and values is what sells not giving everyone a piece of the pie just because especially when it'll never be enough for them anyway. Men and women need each other for survival support and love. Also blame korra she started this dark skin lesibian crap in the first place.
@@Alteori "You gunna eat his dick?.." I laughed so loud I scared my cat... PMSL
I'm also black and I agree I don't like that this has become the standard when it comes to female characters cause it is so boring cause they are so similar to each other they are. These types of female characters are so overused that whenever my friends and I watch shows are movies like this we have our own custom bingo cards. Cause it's the only way we can tolerate them. You also forgot bisexual if their not lesbian their bisexual but most of the time you'll see them going after women. This makes me wonder if these writers actually met a lesbian outside their activist group cause no lesbian act like this. Lesbians are usually pretty nice towards both males and females but the way they make these characters act you'd think lesbians just hate men. I also agree whenever they race change a character to black it just feels like leftovers and when they do bring back a black show it's a shell of its former self like good times and the proud family.
They really went the 'put a chick in it, and make her lame and gay!' route, didn't they? ugh..

Oh the brave writers. Choosing to make the main character sexist is such a stunning display of defiance. How will the writers develop her character to overcome this negative trait? Wait what do you mean shes not sexist and her traits are all positive?
In fairness? She has pretty positive interactions with every man of color she meets. So, she's not sexist, she's just racist.
@@nananamamana3591 but she can interact with white girls easily so isn't she just a white man hater?
So the first guy she meets does everything in his power to save her, constantly warns her of the dangers, and despite her acting like a jerk to him still tries to save her and she gets him killed, she sounds like the bad guy.
She isn't the bad guy... yet. However she is a evil pos
More like a bad omen. Better catch the sign early.
from what i´ve heard every white person around her gets killed. the only person of colour that gets bodied sets up a death flag so obvious the grim reaper shouted "Yes yes i heard you! friggin hell mate, you dont have to rush me"
My question is why is it when she’s with bob she’s constantly giving him this scowl like he did something to piss her off even though he constantly went against his better judgment and helped her. but when she meets this Asian chick that scowl is gone and she’s a lot more open with her? I swear if this is yet another one of those types of female characters that just hates men for no reason.
typical "strong female character" behaviour
Unironically, this show had to have been written by a man-hating lesbian in an abusive relationship.
She ra? _Again?_
Honestly these types of female characters are becoming annoying.
@@senatorarmstrong4662 yeah it's insulting but yet the female writers think it's amazing stuff 😂
@@senatorarmstrong4662it makes the female characters that are actually people and are likable all the best
@@thedragonwarrior5861 all fax no printer. You’d think they’d look at those awesome female leads and go huh what made them work. But no they just go na people are just too sexist and hate women. Which I find odd cause I can easily make up a whole list of my favorite shows of all time and a couple of them are female led shows. So the idea that we just hate women is dumb in my eyes.

Helena is a biologist, so having knowledge on a lot of animals makes sense, the implant is what translates the languages and domesticating the dinosaurs is a result of them being genetically modified
@@Hank39 did she skip the classes that teach you never ever pick up wild adult animals or birds without wearing some kind of protective covering so a person doesn't get scratches or bit which can lead to getting diseases like rabies? And depending on the animal or bird punctured arteries. Don't know about a dodo's claws but the beak looks like it can do some damage to unprotected flesh.
@chadharger9323 yeah there's definitely some silliness there, I don't see how it relates to my reply though, I was just trying to say that the points they made about helena are also in the game and aren't even valid What you pointed out is valid but I don't see how they're related
she can also OUTRUN a fuckin dinosaur known for its speed.. and a fuckin Spartan soldier with peak human body in his 50s (which back then still meant you had only slightly degraded in health).. meanwhile shes a woman with wider hips (worse for running speed) and skinny ass legs, where only activity she gets is walking in stores or standing up for long speeches
She cared more about the animals than Bob (a human), who died.
You're being sarcastic, aren't you?

Broooo I was just thinking about that!

Is that the one where they are starving to death and have to ask indigenous fishermen for fish?
@daveleevicks8749 not sure which episode of survival. Think it's the one where the men jumped a gator.
Chinese chick speaks in Chinese to avoid communicating with someone different than them in several ways and then insulting them for speaking Chinese weirdly (One of the worlds hardest languages to learn), My only thought was "Well the show was bound to get something right.".
As if you wouldn't get praise for doing that much in real life but then again she is from a different time so maybe its different but she had to learn ENGLISH somehow like what, from her interactions with the other islanders you would imagine like 99% of them speak ENGLISH and the last 1% chinese, latin, finnish and other...
I't not only one of the hardest languages to learn, but has something akin to ten different regional dialects. Ontop of the fact, that when you speak it, you have to bear in mind, not only your caste but the caste of the indiividual you are speaking with, AS well as whether they are male or female?
And of COURSE her girlfriend has poisonous plant colored hair.
One wonders where they get the hair dye. Like you’d think they’d have higher priorities (like not getting eaten).
@@cathygrandstaff1957It’s not that hard to make dyes in the game, just some berries, water and a cooking pot. Even cavemen could make dyes, it ain’t rocket science my guy.
Not just plants. Nearly everything that's poisonous is very colorful.
Seriously, these writers are just validating every single stereotype at this point.
@dominator1914 Dyes for clothing and cave walls yes, dyes that won't turn your hair into a congealed mess or you into a corpse is a little trickier. I rather doubt anything from prehistory could make you look like you'd had the attentions of a modern hairstylist with access to modern synthetic dyes and bleaches.
"This creature is a miracle, and you think it's dinner?" "You're right. I won't eat it. You're a lot bigger. Normally, cannibalism would be off the table for me, but I've been here a LONG time."
Who the hell uses the scientific name of an animal, to a stranger, in a non-academic setting? It is a Dodo. We get it, you have some form of education. "Hey guys I just got a new canis lupus familiaris" "You mean a dog?"

And white and (presumed) heterosexual. R@pe first; cannibalism second.
My wife says the same stuff, she screams "Hello most of us like C**K! Why do they almost always make us gay" which makes our kids groan from picturing us being intimate lol
5:48 I immediately remembered that one clip of the American tourist who walked up to a random Jamaican guy who was cutting up coconuts and shoved a camera in his face, and when he tells her to fuck off she starts ranting about the first amendment and he just chases her off with a machete.
People like that tend to forget that America isn't the entire world.
The worst part about Bob dying (for me) is that it's absolutely the protags's fault. He said they should leave the wounded dinosaur and keep moving because staying put was dangerous, and she pretty much refused to. So him being a decent guy, he went against his better judgement so he could stay and help her. So he acted selflessly instead of doing the sensible thing and abandoning the person who was risking both their lives, and he even did this despite the fact that she had done nothing but talk down to him and treat him like crap, which led to him being blindsided and killed, and this ungrateful witch probably never gave Bob or his death a second thought afterward. But honestly, it's probably a good thing he died when he did. If he were given even 10 more seconds of screen time, I have no doubt the writers would have been unable to resist making him racist and/or homophobic as well.
F's in chat for Bob, he came from a more mysogonistic time and looked to be completely okay with the change and accepting, just wasn't expecting it. Clearly he needed to die because how dare he be a realistic representation of men.
Or a r*pist - as white men can't help themselves from trying to hurt pretty women. /s
@@victoriawilde6878 F. He was the Ark default skin itself. He represented the pro player. As awful as the writers treated her, in a woke production death is an escape not a punishment.
R.I.P Bob he went overseas to help fight the Nazis and he was there when they first stormed the beaches. Many of his fellow soldiers died and he might have regrets leaving them behind before he got sent away. His family could be waiting for any news as to his fate, he could have a wife and children waiting for him to return. At the end he is gone and his body will never be found, not knowing he died trying to protect a woman who didn't give a F.
Every man in this series is either gonna be portrayed has either horrible, evil or completely in the wrong because they question the strong black woman MC, even when they're actually in the right. Gerard Butler is the main villain who's a Roman despot. You know for certain they're add a whole lot of "muh rahcist colonialist/imperialist whyte man" type stuff with his character.
Its funny cuz the bob the white guy that gets killed is literally the design of the first surviver from the game So they clearly didnt care for the fanbase
I thought Bob was a Feminist Jab at Spear from Primal.
@LeeroyPorkins yeah but also the character design is very similar to the original surviver you play as in the og game So in many ways it's like the show going "step out of the way men, this is the protagonist of ark"

Tell me about it, and here I was looking forward to this show.
@Goremize clearly but she can rant and rave her head off all she wants. the artstyle and animation of this series looks fantastic especially with the dinosaurs.
@@rickymoranjr9609 Best phrase it as female empowerment that emphasizes toxic feminist lesbian agenda and emasculates men because its their fault. Alphabet people be going wild for that woke nonsense.
@rickymoranjr9609 That's the mindset that popped out all these gorgeous hyperrealistic games, it still doesn't make up for actual substance. Like gameplay, intriguing characters, and good storytelling.
Ahh yes, modern television and the token lesbian. Seriously. No shade to lesbians or anything like that, but they have become the safe tokenized representation that is mostly resorted to for check box requirements.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be so mad about it if he didn’t show up every where and ruin the experience by making an irrelevant subplot. They always do the relationships terribly to, there’s just no point and it makes zero sense most of the time
As long as they are a good written character I couldn't care less of what color or they are straight / gay
Well they are an easy way to pass the Bechdel Test: 2 women and their conversations don’t revolve around men. Plus LGBTQ representation.
If I was a Lesbian, I'd be insulted.
@@darthluno3166I'm bi and I'm insulted. I feel like I would be insulted even if I was straight just by the idea of it lol
I would like to point out that the "big spider" is literally the broodmother, one of the main bosses of the game that takes many tames and lots of time to get ready to fight. But they literally just kill it by themselves. Its stupid to bring out what is usually a groups first big boss that they work hard to prep for on episode 2 and kill it with 2 people. I think it's just insulting that they get away with this because she is a "strong and powerful character." Did they not talk with any actual fans before they made this.
Players who spend days to create a powerful dino army to fight broodmother seeing a woman killing it effortlessly because SHE IS A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN with power of flashbacks
I know about the Explorer notes story in the game, which this covers some of those events referenced. But one thing I felt that was missing was the survivor aspect of when you start the game. The dangers of the wild dinosaurs, building a shelter and learning how to tame them. It probably would have been better for Helena to toughen her up this way with at least some early help from Bob. Then maybe we could believe that she could be somewhat capable against Gaius and his men.
And that is only on the GAMMA level. Don't even get me STARTED on the prep work required to fight ANY of the bosses on Alpha difficulty. The taming time invested just to build the properly specced dino army is one thing. But the time consuming, and convoluted process to actually not only ensure that your army is properly saddled, and that YOU are properly kitted out. But yet, ONLY two people are required to kill the Brood Mother? Give me a break.
@@skezeksskybreaker5425 If you read the full story, then you'll know that Gauis full out captured her, and were it not for Mei-Ling, Helena's story would have ended with either Rockwell, or Gaius executing her, on the Island.

@@TheStraightestWhitest at least more people are actually wanting to play it after watching. It did well for the success of the series in its entirety.
SOuth Park wasn't lying.
"PUT A CHICK IN IT! MAKE HER GAY AND LAME!" Wow. They did it verbatim.
The main character would have been so much more interesting if they had kept her a pationate palaeontologist, but otherwise made her really feminine and sheltered - maybe a bit posh - and then had her grow from there in this new situation. Have her be forced to rely on people like a newb in a video game. Have her see past their strength and rise to be better. You can even keep her as a lesbian. In fact, I think having a more traditionally feminine lesbian character is an under utilised angle and could actually be interesting for once.
That would have been interesting but the writers went for the route of the most insufferable, spiteful, and miserable person. And its no wonder any diverse character written here its shit and over thier in asia is much better. And also im beginning to fear the acceptance rate for homo and bi individuals that never asked for horrible shit like this will be worst.
Exactly I said this a couple of times in response to other people. One of the best parts about Ark for me is the early survival part. Establishing a foothold. It would have been nice if she learned how to build a shelter, get food, run away from wild dinosaurs, and eventually tamed several before even meeting up with people who could do the same. Also it would have been cool to see everyone else how they started out. General Nerva already had a small Roman city built which can be cool but would have like to seen the early stages of his empire and conquests.
OR how about make the show ACTUALLY about the character we each play?
Honestly sick of every show having to represent, everything always having to be all-inclusive I just want a normal show I had to stop watching many shows for that
Story from the game: -Rockwell is actually a good guy at first, everybody respects him as a man of science and integrity. He's polite, fun, and a good friend to Helena. He only becomes an antagonist because of his growing paranoia and obsession over the futuristic technology. His old age and growing dementia get the better of him, causing Rockwell to do some terrible things in his poor mental state. He's a sympathetic character the surviving cast misses and holds regrets over. -Rockwell only joined Nerva because he had to for his research to progress, and because Nerva didn't give him much of a choice. Rockwell also never killed anybody or condoned barbaric acts and death until MUCH later in the story when his mental state was getting worse. -Helena is a friendly, likeable person with good sense. She also didn't make any enemies until the very end, becoming similarly respected by most tribes just like Rockwell and getting a big boost in reputation because of her friendship with him. -Helena arrives on the Island months prior to when she does on the show, before nerva builds his faction and before major conflicts break out. She's also not a genius, she recognizes a lot of the creatures thanks to her education but Helena learns ABOUT them and their actual behaviours/traits from the people on The Island. She's also a very weak fighter without guns(and modern guns do exist), until long after the story on The Island ends. -There was no united rebellion against Nerva, only scattered tribes fighting eachother for dominance. Nervas faction was just the one that came out on top. -John Dahkeya was never supposed to be on The Island. He never meets Helena or lives at the same time as her, and existed as part of the backstory of a futue location off of The Island. By the time any of the main cast get there, John is long dead and only one person around knew him. -Mei Yin never met Nerva until the end of the story on The Island. They'd both heard OF eachother, but only met at the climax of The Islands story. -Mei Yin was a loner who only interacted with people when she had to. She spent all her time taming and bonding with animals, and when Helena eventually met Mei Yin, Helena was only tolerated because Helena wanted to study Mei Yins dinosaurs. It took a long time for Mei Yin to see Helena as a friend, and Mei Yins closest real friend was a utahraptor she befriended very early in the story. -Several characters (Bob, Kor the Prophet, Henry Townsend, Johns adopted child, and the gladiatrix) were created for the show. Bob was a reference to "beach bobs" in the game, an in-joke for the Ark community, while the rest were created to change the story direction or provide filler. As a comment on the diversity of the show, the characters in the games story were already diverse. There were people from every place and time period. The main cast, save for Rockwell, Nerva and one other character that came much later, were entirely diverse through the whole games story. Something seems off for the tv series though, basically any character that can be seen as a "white male" in the show is portrayed as a villain, psycho, mysoganist or delusional prophet. All of these characters were sensible and mostly good in the original story. Even Nerva wasn't a villain, he was just the antagonist. There was a lot of good he did and infrastructure he built on The Island, and he united most of the populace. I pointed out the character assassination for Rockwell and Nerva and got banned from the official Ark Discord server for racism/discrimination. Another note on the show that I have is the megalodon from Episode 1 was eaten by a Leedsichthys. Leedsichthys irl and in-game were filter feeding fish like modern whales, with no aggression and no weaponry for hunting.
You really got banned for stating facts about game lore?! 🤯🤯🤯 Geez these people are alwful 😤😤😤. Also thank you for those lore information I’ve always wanted to dive deeper into Ark but not having much opportunities😅.
The fact you got banned for pointing out their own lore is crazy to me. Its like the show wasnt even made by anyone who knew anything about the game at all or, more likely, you can see the influence of DEI bs that is plaguing gaming and media in general. I liked Helena in the game, being a dino nerd myself, her dossiers are some of my favourite things to find. I did not find her likeable in the show. Not because she is a woman, not because of her sexual orientation but because of the way she is written. It's bad. And the other characters, as you pointed out, are much the same. Dull, poorly written and clearly there to fill out DEI boxes. I hate that I dont like this show for all the time I spent in the game. I was so excited with the list of actors they brought in for voices. Even Mei Yin, my favourite character, the fucking beast queen, voiced by the beautiful and wonderful Michelle Yeoh, was completely butchered. I thought to myself it would be so hard for this series to fail. BUT IT DID. Rockwell, like you said, completely taken away from amazing character development . I wanted to see Nerva build up his tribe..but nope. we got this garbage. And thats not to say anything about the extremely cheap animation quality...Even the dinos look like shit. The fan fiction written, before the lore came out , on the Ark steam forums were better quality than this crap. Lazy, DEI bs, once again.
Leeds _do_ attack boats and swimmers. But I see what you're saying.
@@thestone6324Check NeddytheNoodle. Nuff said.
So in other words they pulled off a Paramount Halo and butchered the lore for the sake of Tumblr-fanfiction level, progressive woke, DEI-ridden garbage? And you got BANNED for pointing this out on the Discord?!?! Edit; I just found out this show is on Paramount + FFS they did it again! They botched ANOTHER adaptation of a game! HOW MANY TIMES PARAMOUNT?!?!?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 *Sigh* It's all so tiresome...
"Two tribbers, girl bossing their way through the island, against two one dimensional yt men." This is pretty much the show.

How funny would it be if the ending of this series revealed this is all just a game of Ark and the player behind the main character was one of the “bully hunters” who ends up getting banned for making an invincible character?
The most unrealistic adaption from the game is Helena didn't immediately kill the Dodo for early meat and hide. Also, in the lore Rockwell was a very well-respected and charismatic man. Helena was overjoyed to work with him. It was only after he ascended and started corrupting everything into what he wanted that he became the big bad. Basically he was a scientist gone mad with discovery.
Because she's 'good'
They rather befriend the food than survive.
They actually destroyed the characterization Rockwell was always and eccentric but he wasn’t insane off the bat. The point is for these characters to actually build relationships and not just kill eachother the whole time. The whole Kathleen Kennedy effect on the game is bad we all know that but the writing is on a whole other level of bad on its own

The saddest thing is because the first trailer for this looked so incredibly promising. The idea of people from every time period Riding on dinosaurs sounded amazing. Then we saw the second trailer and they couldn't f****** resist every 5 seconds saying Hey, our main character's a lesbian, did you get that? Did you get it? Did did you hear that our character's a lesbian? Her being a lesbian is more important than dinosaurs. I was half hoping that the trailer would just be another situation like honor among thieves. Or house of the dragon Where the trailer was very woke, but the actual Finished product wasn't. It was even worse than I fucking imagined
I laughed heartily when Helena got mad at that the stupid dinosaur was being whipped, but she didn't get mad when the guy who she was traveling with died in front of her.

Ok, that was either a javalin or a spear that went through her shoulder, and she just pulled it out? Looking at the shaft of that thibg, that is going to leave a very big hole, which means she is either dead from blood loss, or dead from an oncomming infection. Not to mention the body shock of having something as thick as her wrist pulled through her body. Nope, she is dead.
Remeber that episode from "pacific rim the black" where one guy was trying to turn a kaiju into a pet and it ate him as soon as he couldnt feed it? Yeah thats actually a realistic good message about wild animals. You cant just expect them to become your friends, if you have food they might take it, but that doesnt make you two friends. In this show, they go full animal-mysticism and animals have emotional intelligence on par with humans, on top of that they just instantly become friends. I swear this show was directed by some hippie-vegan.
Pacific Rim The Black mentioned. That was such a good series, wish it got a third season.

We sealed it within the body of a newborn who will most likely go on to be rejected and ridiculed because of it... Oh wait, that's from a better show
The second the lesbian scene started, my son and daughter immediately tapped out. "I'm tired of this crap!" Was what my daughter shouted before stomping away and slamming the door as if I was the one who made the cartoon.
Oh nice fantasy, did you have that one on the back burner or was that something you stole from someone else. I mean it sounded so believable I thought that it might be true for a minute. LOL
@@bunnyconcubus8468 cope.
@bunnyconcubus8468 so you find it hard to believe that kids are tired of this crap. I have 5 children and all but one is sick and tired of what my son calls "the agenda"
@@victorcampudoni2682Yeah, that's a load of crap. No normal person let alone children calls queer people in media 'the message' only chud losers that don't understand anything about life would call it that. Not to mention there aren't enough shows with actual lesbian or gay prominent characters for them to be 'sick' of it, you just sound liar who made up a story on the fly. Infact you know what mention 5 other animated shows that your 'children' have seen that have the 'message' in them that they are sick of? Cause there's like million other shows with just straight people in them, you don't queer people saying "oh this filthy straitoids and their agenda pushing I'm so sick of their trife."
Hahaha, they probably think you are trying to shove an agenda down their throat when you just want to show em some of your favorite media 😂😂😂 been there, happens when you don't prewatch stuff before you show your kids 😂
I was the same way when the trailer dropped but then I realised that they were pushing social politics over a good and entertaining story You can have gay or Bi characters and still have a good show just look at Dead Boy Detectives, but sadly so many times they discard story for the social message crap
"Anyone who's in a good mood right now, please leave." I respect it. Have a like.
The fact she literally just got attacked by a 60 foot fish thats been extinct for millions of years makes the dodo thing even dumber.
She's dumber than a dodo. The bird should have been clawing and biting in order to get free regardless of the guy hunting it. Birds, especially wild ones, don't like to be grabbed and held.
She could have saved the entire scene by just screetching "THIS THING IS REALLY CUTE AND SOFT AND I NEED THAT MORE THAN FOOD RIGHT NOW I WAS ALMOST EATEN BY A GIANT FUCKING SHARK!" But, that would imply our heroine could be feeling vulnerable in the aftermath of a near death experience, and vulnerability isn't Girllboss-y enough.
@@nananamamana3591 literally the same episode where she gets traumatized because a kid died because of her thats pretty vulnerable to me but you know pop off or whatever
"Can we not" is a phrase that could define the last few years pretty well.
it's almost like the writers saw the kathleen kennedy south park episode and thought it was a guidebook instead of parody
Thank you, i feel every time i say something bad about these modern media I get so much backlash about being sexist or phobic or soemthing. Tbh i dont care what gender, race or even species the characters are, what i want is a good story, good character development and in situations like this to be faithful to the source material.
Same. I don't give a god damn, What sexual orientation they are, what race they are, or what damn gender they identify as..So long as the DAMN story is WELL WRITTEN, and not subverted into yet another god damned virtue signalling, piece of Woke -alt Poitica garbage.
Personally,I need a Straight Black COUPLE. Both my parents are Black.Both their parents are Black.Both THEIR parents were Black. Black people in love with each other EXIST.
Can't happen. We all know why, but saying it out loud makes you sound crazy. What you're talking about is the actual representation EVERYONE needs to see, no matter the color. Families, with the parents taking care of kids that they love.
@@TchHryit could be straight or lesbian
I'm sorry, but according to modern day 'reasoning' that just means both your parents and all your grandparents were secretly gay and forced to have children by the evil white patriarchy.
According to modern media, black straight couples don't exist. Black women have to be lesbians, and black men have to be with white women.
Hollyweird's typical Nope a Dope. ESG DEI characters have to be Black, Trans, and Insufferable.
It takes about a whole season for spear an fang to actually become friends, around the time mira appears after spear heals fang, it took a whole season for fang to listen to what spear tells her to do an work together Black gay woman does it in the first 10 minutes of the show
Damn excellent writing vs "don't give a damn, screw development!" writing
It only took Spear and Fang 2-3 episodes to become friends but I see your point.
It took 2 episodes for them be friends you stupid fk 😂

Perfect review. Saved me from wasting my time watching this eco-activist, pseudo feminist, gay fanfiction..I’ll just rewatch blue eye samurai… an actual good show with actual strong female characters
It's funny how Bob was unironically the best character in this show. Like Fred in Velma. They try so hard to make the white guy look and be bad they end up being the most likeable person in a sea of absolutely insufferable mouthpieces.
idk maybe touch grass sounds like you spend to much time in twitter hell

@@reekerman1012lol didnt know about the fan service😂
What’s worse they don’t even follow the in game story that is outlined by the developers. They had a perfect story to use and they chose to do identity and performative politic. They made a conations choice to make a bad show.
This is very close to the story in the lore.
Like every adaptation ever made
@@LordGrim1313yeah as the halo show was
@@LordGrim1313 No it's not lol.
@@bable6314 it literally is. All these characters come straight from the in game notes and are exactly the same. All that's missing is santiago
Yeah I miss the straight couples too
It hurts me the only representation I got in the show died because of this dumb joke of a character. If they add a Mexican now I’m hoping the character is infinitely better than her.
'I'm from the 21st Century' 'Yeah, we can tell.' Pretty much nailed it. I wish this godawful trash would make room for better written shows.
5:05 Summed up the entire show.
This show was definitely made by committee rather than a writers room with a creative goal.
As Zack Snyder has shown, it doesn't need a committee for some products to be boring and bad.
it was made by the skittle hair people
It was made by activists most likely.
Just lost 5 ranked games, didn't even compare to the despair I felt watching this 😊
This is why I just stopped caring whatever is coming out. I know its gonna be complete garbage with bad scripts. The fact these people and writers and companies throw out logic and common sense thinks what they write = good.
Yep I have got an old 40K quote in my head for this very reason. "Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment." Now days I wait and see with everything.
Writers really seem to fail to build up characters naturally nowadays. They just throw them into the deep end of a situation and give them dialogue that is far too on the nose in most cases. For example this MC I assume is suppose to care for animals and doesn't want to hurt them BUT she's just been chased by a massive shark and I assume has no idea what is going on. Rather than worry about the Dodo, shouldn't she be asking where am I? Who are you? Okay her caring for animals is a character trait but build on it slowly through out the story and the best approach is to SHOW not tell me she has that trait. Show her being a vet as her backstory, put her morals to the test with two different animals dying and she can only save one. A story is suppose to challenge a characters morality NOT to always enforce that they are always in the right (in most cases). Even children's stories were made to pose difficult questions to both the audience and the reader. That is why Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan and so on last the test of time. They have an amazing world to fall in love but are always challenging the MC's morality. A character should never be the same person at the end of the story. They need to come away with something to improve themselves.
GREAT AITEORI ARK THE ANIMATION SERIES EPISODE ONE &TWO REVIEW
Welp, I did it, I got rid of Ark Survival Evolved. After tossing the disk around in the sand for a while I figured, the game started with poop, it will end with poop, so I put it down an outhouse.
@@RachDarastric2that was kind of stupid of you, the series ain’t the game
Does she have to be a vet in order to care about animals? Also, wasn't her protective of animals challenged when she had to skin an animal? I'm sorry but just because a character doesn't react the way you want them to react does not mean it's bad writing. As for stories always have to challenge morality of the characters, it depends on what we are talking about. Furthermore, a character being challenged for their beliefs does NOT automatically mean that they are wrong.
@@DANIELH013 Perhaps I should have just cut a few branches and left the root alone.
Man i feel so bad for bob he was just trying to help and he seemed so reasonable even helping her with the dinasour even when he was probably hungry and could have used that for food.. and the writers killed him off as a joke, justice for my man bob..
apperently hes respawning in season 2
David Tennant is in ARK? I can't wait for Ncuti Gatwa to replace him next season and we can see him twerk with dinosaurs.
Mania is the thing that goes beyond anger and plants you into a murderous rage that only a true hellspawn can appreciate. That lets you smile as you eviscerate your foes and bring pain to those that irritate you. Such a joyful emotion.
This show literally took every single Mary Sue of the past and threw them into a blender to create this insufferable being.
Yep the arrow bit screams Rey and the worm from that Disney Wars movie.
Poor misogynist
yep REY Palpatine only in Ark instead of Disneyfied Star Wars.
Poor misogynist
The way the mc killed that spider was just straight up disrespectful. That was a goddamn endboss that you needed an entire army of rexs or gigas for.
Did you try it on easy mode though? So as a (dark = extra easy) Body Type 2 character who loves Type 2 body characters and an insufferable attitude? Maybe it's possible to solo it as low level character then.
They don't care about the game, they care about propaganda
@@NephritduGreyit's not as fun on easy mode. Nothing is fulfilling when you can kill something in less than five strikes.
That gaming scene between 27:00 - 28:17 mins was really cool and funny AF!!!😂😂
Helena is just a worse Rey, which i didnt think was possible
This is the new thing. They want to brainwash kids as much as possible... even if the show isnt specifically for kids
What you say it doesn't make any sense
@@animezilla4486 What doesn't make sense?
@@animezilla4486 Your grasp of English leaves much to be desired. Maybe that's why it didn't make sense to you?
It is weird that this show seems to want to target both the younger generation and the people who are late teens - adults who grew up with the game. I doubt any kid would like the story, but the animation is pretty good
Grow up Karen
I believe the prevalent portrayal of dark-skinned women as lesbians in current year media stems from a desire by executives to incorporate diverse social groups into films or TV shows. However, instead of authentically representing each group separately, there seems to be a tendency to amalgamate them into a single character. Most likely to safe money and time.
It’s pushing non procreative sex to Black people. It’s been a “thing” in entertainment for a while now. No point in killing us off if we’re just going to create more.
They've said this outright.
@@toddholland7511What a crazy conspiracy theory. Big studios have to meet a certain diversity checklist. Skin color, gender and sexuality being on top of the list. Having a non-white female lesbian as the lead already ticks these three boxes
@@toddholland7511Use Occam’s Razor. Do you think it’s corporations filling a “progressive” checklist for social brownie points and profit? Or a convoluted yet comically mundane government conspiracy to nudge specific minorities into not reproducing by using occasional gay representation in random pieces of media authorized and enforced by an ill-defined faction within an even larger conspiracy? Which scenario sounds more likely and factually sound?
You just quite literally said everything I was thinking when o watched this show. I was so exhausted that I never got past the 4th episode. And I have a lot of patience. This show was so exhausting to watch. YOU earned yourself a subscriber. I look forward to every video you put forward now. Idk where the fuck you came from or how you got recommended to me but I’m sure glad you popped up in my algorithm. You might have been recommended to me because everything I watch has people that have common sense, critical thinking skills and doesn’t operate on 50 IQ. Thank you so fucking man Bruv.
These writers don't understand human dialog. They think snark is comedy and endearing.
The main character unironically said lived experiences for dinosaurs....
You know what I find strange? If I thought about making a cartoon for Ark. I would have made it a lot more focused on survival, and a lot less focused on the toxic PVP that almost killed the game. Even moreso I would consider myself mentally ill if I thought a "modern" reporter or explorer could do anything to lifelong trained warriors without a straight-up gun. Then again there is nothing straight about this show.
I thought it was supposed to be based of what you read from the lore pages you can find in the game
@@najafi3226same
Too many Heterophobes in this modern tarpit LMAO
straight up majority of my and everyone i knew who played arc gave zero shits about the PvP we played for the survival not the battle royale.
Because being Hetero in the modern world is a cardinal Sin
I’m currently playing Ark 1, I call bull on this show. I started a new play through got eaten by a carno 15 seconds after hitting start, I was ganked by 4 dilos after respawning, then got chased by compies into a raptor..
What program did you use to create and animate your avatar?
Dont sell yourself short. Your opinions so far have been reasonable, besides i watch for the roasting you apply to the reviews.
Beach Bob was unironically the most interesting and well written character. Conflict, curiosity and I want to see his survival story.

Would have been interesting to see him and her being main characters from different time periods and different world-views. But that would require good writing skills. But nah, lets go with muscly, tall asian-lesbian.
See, what you don't know is that part of paleonthology is studying the groves in dinosaur bones so that you can decipher them into their telepathic frequency. Also, I assume that Chinese lady is probably a Mulan. Amazing combat skills, but never acknowledged by the evil men.
I love how real youve been getting these social issue! Nice work😊
Justice for Bob. 🎩 🐍 no step on snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
I was actually interested in him…
Based Bob
His name was Bob. His name was Bob. His name was Bob.
The reason why Helena is nicer to the warrior woman she met in the second episode than she was to the man she met on the island in the first episode is this: the convincing power of les-boners. This also explains why she was able to defeat the giant spiders, despite not having any experience with that type of situation. On a somewhat separate issue: why are some western animation projects so interested in potentially toxic lesbian relationships?
I suppose it's the only reference of lesbian relationships the writers have
Someone get Alteori some ice-cream..... maybe some chocolates.... and a fire extinguisher cause she put the flame to this show
I love the idea of a show having themes of "having the courage to choose compassion", but it's extremely tricky to do. You can't just have your MC come in from a privileged situation to lecture your other characters on "respecting life" when they're struggling for survival
This is funny, reminds me of few years back where an American tourist saw a Horned Viper on a trail and she became so infatuated with it, that she went and tried to pet it. Needless to say her remainder of the vacation was spent in the hospital. And when the news asked her questions why she tried to pick up a snake, her answer was: The snake looked so cute and she was sure that this country didn't have any venomous snakes... Some people are just like that. Can't help them, they know everything until they don't.
Moral of the story: stupid should hurt
The more idea line would be "That there is my dinner." "Dinner? I'm sorry sir, but I don't know where I am and this creature is probably the last of it's kind not seen in thousands of years. As such its against my principles to kill the last of a entire species, especially one that was considered extinct." "You must be new around here, those things are more common than you think and it's not the only extinct creature roaming around these parts. You could either eat that one, or stick to your principles to find something else to eat. Now if you excuse me I still require sustenance, because right now it's kill or be killed."
Dude: "we should keep moving" Gal: "nah." Dude: *dies as a consequence of her refusal to listen* Gal: "poor dinosaurs! You heartless monsters!"
I like your new animation drawing of your Fox, it’s creative and I like that you have no problem switching it up. PS, the larger ears reminds me of Gizmo from Gremlins movie 😅

It’s been a while since I thought about ark, but I used to LOOOVE the game When I played with friends, the two boys I played with did the hunting and gathering, and I did the building and crafting. We opened up a tavern together and I even built a little “Dino parking” area 😂😂 I was also the Scholarly Girl-I did so much research on what everything did and how to tame things, etc. Not super related, but a good memory I unlocked from this video lol
used to? may I asked what turned you away from it? just innocent curiosity.
The writers seemed to associate ‘strong, and independent ’ with ‘abandoning all common survival instinct.’

Can you elaborate? How did they act on twitter?
@@502nickster I'm gonna take a wild guess by saying that the way they act is by saying anyone who doesn't like the show is either: Racist, Homophobic, Misogynistic, Transphobic, etc. Which is very ironic when the MC is rude and condesending to any other character that is not a Woman, Lesbian, POC, etc. (AKA, Straight White Men) which I'd say is projection of the writers of this show and most writers now in Hollywood lol
