Re: Primal (2019)
So I haven't had a laptop in about 3+ weeks, therefore i couldn't log in on here, but I recently binged episodes 4-9... I think this show is perfection, in terms of everything a show should be, sound design, music, art style, uniqueness, it's all fantastic. I praised this show on this thread during the first 2 episodes, but once it moved to HBO Max I wasn't able to catch up. Now that it's back on demand I can safely say it's become everything I dreamed it would be.
As a reptile owner and a dinosaur fanatic, the bond between Spear and Fang is super relatable. They've been through so many hardships together, and it just builds their bond with every episode. The action, music and gorey art style, gets the blood pumping every time.
Standout moments for me from the more recent episodes:
- their bond shown during the beach scene was beautiful
- the apes in that same episode were fierce (planet of the apes tartakovsky series when?!?!?)
- the plague episode was terrifying
- the witch episode is easily my favorite due to how emotional it was with 0 dialogue being spoken
- the war between the giant bats, and velociraptors and Spear/Fang were insane!

Re: Primal (2019)
Um....wow. Slave of the Scorpion was a pretty nice episode. I didn't care for it at first, but it got better as it progresses. That ending, though....

Re: Primal (2019)
Yeah know, when I first heard of the show I was a little uncertain how it would keep me interested on a weekly basis, especially over a series.
But wow,

Re: Primal (2019)
Based on the introduction of you know who, I think it's looking like it'll go the way of Samurai Jack Season 5. Where the story and characters are completely uprooted in order to now revolve around this new character. Of course I could be completely wrong, but it seems like Genndy is going to fuck with the dynamic and what makes the show work in order to serve his weird waifu fantasy he keeps trying to fulfill in his shows. I signed up for Dinosaur and Caveman adventures, not where I think it's going.

Re: Primal (2019)
Primal doesn't seem like it'll have a focused season on 1 premise, but a reoccurring goal that will probably end at some point. So basically Rick and Morty in a way.gottatalktothefake wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 5:01 pm Based on the introduction of you know who, I think it's looking like it'll go the way of Samurai Jack Season 5.

I for one and happy to see how it goes because it seems Spear and Fang will basically be fighting Conan the Barbarian. SIGN ME UP!

^In the season finale, that woman was actually speaking Arabic. That makes me wonder, if this show aired in Arabic countries, would they dub her over into English?

Re: Primal (2019)
I just don't want this show to all of a sudden become about...dialogue and character drama and etc.
Like...I love the show because it is raw, purely audio-visual, no spoken dialogue, and just about simple struggles of survival.
I don't really want dialogue, romance, good and bad humans, etc etc...I want it to stay PRIMAL, and not get civilized.
If I had to make a guess/hope of where I could see this going....Spear is getting a glimpse/opportunity for advancement, development, civility, intelligence...I think they will tease us with that potential, but then something will drive him RIGHT back to his primal, uncivilized, savage ways. It could be quite a bitter sweet turn....but one that stays true to the spirit of the show.

Season 2 premieres this Summer!
Added in 13 minutes 40 seconds:
Personally I'm expecting the bronze-age Viking-themed civilization that The Scorpion comes from to be like that of 10,000 B.C. (2008).
Notably mammoths and triceratops used as beast of burdens.
This would also be cool as well.
Maybe we'll even get giant scorpions given the name of The Scorpion.
