So the movie was pointless?

Scordolo said:
Yeah, it was pointless. The Train arc in the Tv format will be adding new content so I can't skip the first 7 episodes either but I don't really have any motivation to watch the Tv format which really sucks.

Did I waste money on content that was going to be a Snyder Cut on TV anyway? I mean, the movie was awesome, but now I feel like I'm getting retconned.

This is just a terrible mindset for life you know.

You paid for a work of many talented people, you paid for exclusive content, you paid for a restricted content only a couple of people could not have a chance to see (actually many of them, because of the movie sucess), you paid for a unique experience in a movie, the fun you have there was worth your money.

Even if you consider you paid for something that other people got years later, welcome to capitalism? This is like one of the most common piece of business out there.

My man, not everything is about the end, but the journey. Melt this snowflake, you aren't.

This is totally not a "about the journey not the end" Situation

DimmuOli said:


There's no such thing as ripoff in this situation, that's the point.

Leohere said:

It kinda is tho? We basically lost 7 episodes worth of content and he even had to pay extra for a movie ticket which can now be watched with just a subscription

I didn’t even know the movie was canon

Wow!! Wth just happened?XD

For the episodes, do you even know their cronogram? if they're going full to winter season? Their schedule already had mugen train regardless of the sucess of the movie. The point is if I want to have more people to enjoy my next work (S2) I need to have more people eligible to watch it on demand. They will even add an original episode and 70 more scenes, as an incentive to watch it again. It's like playing a an exclusive game for a platform and a year later pay for definitive edition on other. You still have to pay for a sub to watch it. This is nothing new and a common market business in many areas.

There's no such thing as paid extra. You paid for an exclusive content in the past, that worth the money as milliions of things in the world. No one complains about this outside of internet kids, seriously. People needs to get out more, the world is full of this. Good luck trying to argue this in court or even find a judge about this being a ripoff. It's a false symmetry.

Basically the first seven episodes of season 2 is just backstory of what happened in the movie, and Yes many people getting upset with that.

the plot is good because of the execution. Your signature is stupid.

I guess its because they never though that the movie was going to be such a sucess. The manga has ended, but they are probably going to milk the serie dry just like they did with Naruto and Dragon Ball lol

diegoromo said:
that is exactly the point he is trying to make in his signature

Did you forget that season 1 ended with them getting on the train

Y'know, going by the logic of the whiners here, pretty much any movie that has ever come out in theaters has been technically "pointless", since most of them would later be aired on Cable TV channels (or even local broadcast channels, in some cases); difference nowadays is that they usually bring them over to streaming platforms shortly after.

That's the whole point of theatrical releases: you pay for the limited-time experience of watching something on a huge theater screen, and with awesome sound quality, and maybe even bringing some friends along for a good time, if you're not too much of a fucking loser. That's all there is to it.

At least in this particular case, Ufo's animators are actually taking the trouble of making and adding new content for it (including a new OP & ED) when they could have just lazily broken it all up into Eps. without adding a single thing. At least they're trying to give us an incentive to rewatch it.

Seriously, some of y'all need to learn to maybe shut the fuck up every once in a while, and not be such entitled, ungrateful, bratty nerds for a change.

ibm30rpg said:
mmkay. Welp, I learned my lesson. I'm not paying for any anime movie in theaters ever again. Seems like the strategically Chaddest move.

Stygian_Prisoner said:


Hmm, I dunno about that, champ. Committing to such a decision would imply that you're either too cheapskate broke to afford at least two movie tickets for an outing with a friend/significant other, or that your social skills are too poor to even have those in the first place... or both.

Doesn't exactly sound like a "Chad" mindset if you ask me.
