Love Death and Robots with the homie...we back! Want to vote on what I should watch next? Click here! www.patreon.com/jamesvscinema Dawn of the Dead FIRST TIME WATCHING will be uploaded Friday/Saturday! Enjoy the day!
The “Bad Traveling” episode is one of the best writings I’ve seen in a very long time, to how simple yet complicated the villain was to how conniving the hero was and how he wasn’t held back by the typical moral standards they give every hero nowadays (the deceiving, the murders and betrayals he reached to save innocent people).
Epsiode two of this season is my favorite of the entire series. Not only is the captain a cunning and highly capable individual but he's the only person in the ship that knows what the right thing is and is willing to go through any hardship to do it. All of the crew however voted to do the easy yet immoral thing, to sacrifice the people in the island, so the captain decided to go Solomon Kane on all of them and ends up successful in his mission.
Fun Fact: David Fincher, who executive produced this series, directed the "Bad Travelling" episode for this season. The animators, when sitting in on a meeting stated it was like a film school packed into one place, when Fincher started talking about various aspects for the short.
The Very Pulse of the Machine was my favorite from this season. The visuals, the poetry quotes, the music swells, the discussion of what the meaning of life (and death) is, etc was all really beautiful. After watching I immediately read the short story it was based on.
@@regularhuman6752 ikr?! it was really surprising to me when i started watching reactions to this season that most people just kinda glossed over this ep and only commented on the animation. don't get me wrong the animation was cool and all but i thought the narration was what really made it great. idk. to each their own haha
I was kinda disappointed with the visual style they have chosen for this episode. I think either a realistic CGI style or an hyper-stylized hand-drawn animation style would have been much more appropriate. Considering the content, I found the "trippy" visuals way too boring and conventional. It was nice, but also a ton of wasted potential.
"Sulphur is... triboelectric..." It's been one of my favourite scifi short-stories for decades. Honestly I was a little disappointed in the visual scene where she saw the magnetospheres, but otherwise it was so well done and animated, I'll forgive it.
It reminded me alot of George rr Martins writings. He's always playing with conciousness and even hidden ancient super advanced tech he writes about alot.
Finally you guys react to this! Make sure to do the rest of the episodes of S3 too... it is REALLY worth it! Season 3 finally feels like the first Season. Huge improvement from S2
The characterization in “Bad Travelling” is really interesting to me. We start off thinking that Torrin is a villain and he kind of is but then we eventually realize that he’s the only 1/2 decent person on crew of callus, treacherous pirates that would happily condemn 1000’s of people on the island to certain death.
I actually managed to exchange a few messages with Emily Dean shortly after the season came out! She did confirm the short is indeed open to interpretation, but she also confirmed my personal assumption of that it is about grief and the process of dealing with and finally letting go of it (or at least she mentioned that was her goal too). On the artstyle specifically, it has probably been mentioned here too that it is meant to evoke the art of Moebius/Jean Giraud, a French comic artist who, next to his own amazing body of work, worked as artist on movies such as Jodorowsky's Dune, The Fifth Element, Alien, Tron, Willow and more. He is probably one of the most iconic (comic) artists of the 20th century
Fincher’s short shown here was one of my overall favourites from all 3 seasons, the subtle dig at shell oil was *chef’s kiss*. First episode could have done with a slightly less heavy handed commentary, though I thoroughly agree with the points it was making, but I liked the nod to dr strange love with the elites survival bunker, and while I enjoyed the IO story (Martha K lives on, I liked that anagram) I think it would have been perfect if they never confirmed she survived and left it up to the viewer…but the visuals were gorgeous
I can't wait to get home and watch this with you. As soon as Season 3 dropped I thought of you and I prayed you'd get your friend back to enjoy this. This is a great season! Can I get a "NO JAKE!!!!!!"
The series is originally based on a short story called "Three Robots Experience Objects Left Behind from the Era of Humans for the First Time," by John Scalzi
David Fincher directed Bad Traveling, a superb narrative with spectacular visuals in both horror and animation. I can’t wait for all reactions to Swarm, In Vaulted Halls Entombed, and especially Jibaro.
One of the most visually stunning shows with amazing writing yo come out in recent memory is Arcane! Would LOVE to see you react to it! Really excited to see you reacting to Love Death + Robots too!
@@JamesVSCinema I totally missed it! Guess it's binge time! If you're cool with subtitles (it's French) Amélie is an AMAZING movie that you, as a filmmaker, should really appreciate. Love your channel!
Favorite episode was definitely the cthulu one, spent a year overseas and there's definitely some weird shit under those Afghan rocks, this show takes fear to another level, that fear you can't comprehend or describe, it even adds an extra layer to show that fear displayed by soldiers, those wasnt some middle of the mall grunts either, that was a spec ops unit, individuals who've seen the true horrors of the world, just not all of them.
@@JamesVSCinema I'm thinkin some SCP tactical dudes up against the Blair witch and her deep forest ninjutsu or the Jeeper Creepers entity. Best of the absolute best in an impossible situation. Why haven't they done this yet? lmao
on the bad travelers when the babies are crawling towards him...there are like two of them that animate through a piece of wood.. still so good .....my favorite ldr is the fight between the monsters where the people control them....the animation alone and the use of slow motion and music was chefs kiss....
Bad Traveling had major Lovecraftian vibes. Great episode. Everyone but the captain was a coward and he kept that under wraps for a while. very interesting world and character building. He wasn't going to let it get to shore but everyone else voted to let it off at the nearest island with a human population. So he had to watch his back the entire time while appeasing an monster.
This series is a direct successor to Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits the level of cosmic horror but as well cosmic and sociological exploration, and etc is great
Would be interesting to see a biochemist react to the third episode, to tell if what that thing gave as a justification for its existance is scientifically valid or not.
Dont know if you guys saw it, but half of the 3rd episode was inspired by the alternate realities 3D Renders challenge (ruclips.net/video/iKBs9l8jS6Q/видео.html).
Hey James I just found your channel but there's one movie I wanna put you onto that I think you'd love. It's called 15 Minutes of War, it's a French movie but is on Amazon with subtitles and the cinematography is pretty fantastic, overall a great movie.
If you guys haven't watched the animated anthology movie "Heavy Metal" (1981), then you should. LDR evolved out of a very protracted attempt by get another "Heavy Metal" movie made with contemporary animation means. After so many years of frustration trying to get it off the ground, I believe, Kevin Eastman, creator of Ninja Turtles and owner of Heavy Meal Magazine, pulled out but David Fincher remained and finally adapted the venture into this great anthology series. And Yes... very Lovecraft on the Bad Traveling episode.
It's no coincidence that it all seems to feminine; in fact, the very words that give the episode its name is taken from a poem that describes the feminine spirit.
Just like GoT, there is no "Back then". This is a totally different planet.(Bad Travelling) Also HP Lovecraft is the person you were trying to think of
The pain reliever the astronaut was using warned her of hallucinations, not positive but I believe everything she saw and heard wasn’t real, she walked to the edge of a cliff and threw herself off. 😥
@8:47 Not personally blaming or attacking you James but the fact that saving the planet we ALL live on is viewed as a "political" topic that needs to be tiptoed around is fucked up. Capitalism isn't a political party or a religion that's above reproach. We have a responsibility to change this shit. The linear economy model or us, one of em' has to go.
No, because every time the alternative is tried envionmental destruction, carbon use, deforestaion and eco-system collapse go up. Just look at the Aral sea, the forests in cuba, the forests and lead polution in Zimbabwe. Every time things get much worse when socialism or any branch of it from "African socialism" to "Arab Socialism" to "communism" is attempted
@@genmaicha.lapsang I never said anything about Socialism... This is what I mean by this subject being too politicized. It seems to me like we both want the same thing. There are definitely alot of benefits to capitalism but the way it exists right now isn't sustainable. We need to move away from a linear economy towards a circular economy, where sustainability and reusability are a priority instead of an after thought.
@@Existential_Carousel I live in Canada too. And wouldn't say our healthcare system is great. Its capacity is very low. But my point though was that there currently is no alternative to a capitalistic means of production. The only way is to change people's attitudes around consumption...although given how expensive meat is getting maybe we won't have too?
@@genmaicha.lapsang I feel like you don't know what a circular economy vs linear economy is... Do you wanna Google it and get back to me? Once again we're saying the same thing so I dunno why you're arguing you're kinda pissing me off now. There's a whole lot we can do. Bio degradable plastics. Sustainable energy sources. Changing the way we consume and re use products like you said yourself. These are all changes that are 100% possible. People are researching how to make various bio degradable plastics. There's an interesting company called fairphone that uses modular and sustainable technology. There's plenty of people trying to make a change so if you're just gonna be a nihilist and say everything is impossible I suggest you stay the fuck out the way of progress.

Honeslty I think it’s the best in the whole series

Really hope Fincher ends up directing more of these. He knocked it out of the park with this one
I was shocked myself and then later not surprised when seeing this too haha
The Very Pulse of the Machine was my favorite from this season. The visuals, the poetry quotes, the music swells, the discussion of what the meaning of life (and death) is, etc was all really beautiful. After watching I immediately read the short story it was based on.
Absolutely! I don’t see as many people talk about this episode. It’s fantastic and definitely my favourite to come out of the whole show.

I’d have to agree!!

Appreciate this comment so much! Thank you. Took away a lot of cool information
@@JamesVSCinema You're very much welcome, my dude!!
That second one is probably my favorite episode of the entire series. Mostly because I'm fascinated by the decisions made by the main character.
i was wondering if you were bringing back Jake to do season 3! so excited to watch your reactions to this batch of eps!
Happy to hear this!! Enjoy
The fact that you also noticed the whole dishonored character designs, one my favorite games 🔥
This season was GREAT. Jibaro is amazing. Jibaro and The Witness from season 1 we’re both done by Alberto Mielgo, that dude is killing it.
Can't wait to see your take on the final episode. Watched it 5 times so far days apart and notice so much more after each viewing.
That was an incredible piece. So much depth to it
One of the best and most surreal pieces of art ever. Loved it.
Lots of comments posted elsewhere from people saying it was a trash "woke" episode.
Obviously someone didn't understand the assignment 🤣

I’m so glad to see Jake again! I was hoping y’all would do this. Take care gents
I can't wait to get home and watch this with you. As soon as Season 3 dropped I thought of you and I prayed you'd get your friend back to enjoy this. This is a great season!
Can I get a "NO JAKE!!!!!!"
this is a very cool collab! looking forward to more reactions, great dynamic between you two ☺️
Jake is the homie 🙏🏽 and we appreciate you!
Will watch later, just stopped by to hit like preemptively. I've been waiting for this one.
You the man Brett
this season was a huge improvement from season 2. i can’t wait for you to watch the jibaro episode, it is the best of this season
Oh absolutely. Glad there seems to be mutual feelings towards Season 2 here

Thanks for this, great stuff and as always, stay awesome, stay genuine.. much love
Appreciate you always Gary!
Yay!! Happy you guys are doing this again
Aye glad youse two are back for this again, cant wait to see how you feel about this new season. really loved a few of them : D
We had an absolute blast with this season :)
I really love when you guys react to Love, Death and Robots
Oh man i just started the show a week ago so im glad im able to catch up to you guys!
One of the most visually stunning shows with amazing writing yo come out in recent memory is Arcane! Would LOVE to see you react to it! Really excited to see you reacting to Love Death + Robots too!
I did! Check the channel
@@JamesVSCinema I totally missed it! Guess it's binge time! If you're cool with subtitles (it's French) Amélie is an AMAZING movie that you, as a filmmaker, should really appreciate. Love your channel!
So happy you guys are back with this!
The very pulse of the machine is one of my favorites.
Favorite episode was definitely the cthulu one, spent a year overseas and there's definitely some weird shit under those Afghan rocks, this show takes fear to another level, that fear you can't comprehend or describe, it even adds an extra layer to show that fear displayed by soldiers, those wasnt some middle of the mall grunts either, that was a spec ops unit, individuals who've seen the true horrors of the world, just not all of them.
Oh snap hahaha, honestly I’d love more horrors primarily off of that aspect alone.
@@JamesVSCinema I'm thinkin some SCP tactical dudes up against the Blair witch and her deep forest ninjutsu or the Jeeper Creepers entity. Best of the absolute best in an impossible situation. Why haven't they done this yet? lmao
on the bad travelers when the babies are crawling towards him...there are like two of them that animate through a piece of wood.. still so good .....my favorite ldr is the fight between the monsters where the people control them....the animation alone and the use of slow motion and music was chefs kiss....
James, I love the innovation on your channel.
12:34 OMG I love Annihilation 😍
Would love to discuss that on the channel cause SAME!
The Very Pulse of the Machine is certainly one of my top choices from love death and robots
zima blue is my favourite ep
I LOVED the second episode and can’t wait til one day we can play video games at that level
Bad Traveling had major Lovecraftian vibes. Great episode. Everyone but the captain was a coward and he kept that under wraps for a while. very interesting world and character building. He wasn't going to let it get to shore but everyone else voted to let it off at the nearest island with a human population. So he had to watch his back the entire time while appeasing an monster.
Didn’t even realized the protagonist from Bad Travelling was voiced by Troy Baker.
I took a couple grams of shroomies and made the mistake of watching this show. Had to walk it off outside for the next couple hours.
Bro 😭😭😭
This series is a direct successor to Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits
the level of cosmic horror but as well cosmic and sociological exploration, and etc is great
And a successor to the classic, "Heavy Metal" anthology.
Fincher directed episode 2, we can tell.
Yup! Made perfect sense once I realized how well directed this was..
Jake is so adorable 🥰
most underrated youtuber ong
Would be interesting to see a biochemist react to the third episode, to tell if what that thing gave as a justification for its existance is scientifically valid or not.
Dont know if you guys saw it, but half of the 3rd episode was inspired by the alternate realities 3D Renders challenge (ruclips.net/video/iKBs9l8jS6Q/видео.html).
I remember when this came out, I believe I had a few 3D artist buddies take part in this, super inspirational and creative!
Hey James I just found your channel but there's one movie I wanna put you onto that I think you'd love. It's called 15 Minutes of War, it's a French movie but is on Amazon with subtitles and the cinematography is pretty fantastic, overall a great movie.
I’m curious to see your reaction to the final episode.
I think at the end she really died but she took some drugs before dying so she wouldn't feel too much pain
If you guys haven't watched the animated anthology movie "Heavy Metal" (1981), then you should. LDR evolved out of a very protracted attempt by get another "Heavy Metal" movie made with contemporary animation means. After so many years of frustration trying to get it off the ground, I believe, Kevin Eastman, creator of Ninja Turtles and owner of Heavy Meal Magazine, pulled out but David Fincher remained and finally adapted the venture into this great anthology series. And Yes... very Lovecraft on the Bad Traveling episode.
H.P. Lovecraft was the Author that created Cuthulu
hell yeah waddup jake
Ay ay! Happy to be back!
I cant wait till they watch swarm.
A black mirror series would be great, seen many but coming from you, would be better!
Think i like this season better than the 1st .. if that's even possible.
Cant wait for the rest
Episode 3 reminded me a lot of the work of the French artist Moebius.
It's no coincidence that it all seems to feminine; in fact, the very words that give the episode its name is taken from a poem that describes the feminine spirit.
Can’t wait from him to see the Secret war episode, one of my favorites
They are just reacting to episodes from season 3.
They have already watched season 1 and 2. Their reactions to season 2 are in this channel.
Fincher wants James Cameron, Ridley Scott, Zack Snyder, and Gore Verbinski to work on the show
Where is season 1 and 2?
Troy Baker (Joel's actor from the TLoU games), K I L L E D it as the voice of Torrin in Ep. 2
h. p. lovecraft wrote about cthulhu if im not mistaken!
Ah, you called out Annihilation! 😍 One of my sci-fi favs.
They both said that but nobody remembers rachni from mass effect?
Eldritch terrors
Cats!
Been waiting for this one!
Happy to have it up for ya!
Yo! Let’s go
thanks my boy , right on my lunch break
always my g!
Yo Jake sounds like Dennis' Philly accent from Always Sunny *jokes jokes*
Been looking forward to this.. oh yeah.
Booyah
reaction The CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON MOVIE thank you
React to Vanilla Sky!
Love this series
You are not alone in that!
Just like GoT, there is no "Back then". This is a totally different planet.(Bad Travelling) Also HP Lovecraft is the person you were trying to think of
Correct! Couldn’t think of the name at the time
@@JamesVSCinema you’ve probably seen them all by now but there may be some more Lovecraftian things in the remaining episodes!
Since I assume you've seen the rest of the episodes I highly recommend watching the Diablo 4 Trailer, you would love it
It's very disorientating hearing both audios from the show like 3 seconds out of time.
Second awesome reaction video sir
All the love brother!
The pain reliever the astronaut was using warned her of hallucinations, not positive but I believe everything she saw and heard wasn’t real, she walked to the edge of a cliff and threw herself off. 😥
That's the far more likely explanation than an ancient machine that can hack peoples brains through their smashed eye sockets
Someone get jake some chapstick for god's sake lol. This man be licking his lips ENTIRELY too much while watching TV
You should check out the anime The Tatami Galaxy. I think you would love it.
Awesome 👏
Quick homie!
@@JamesVSCinema I’ve been telling you your that good

Hahaha we shall see 😭👀
