Beyond the aquilla rift is by far my favorite episode from the series. That ended was a great twist. The series in general is great and worth the time. I highly recommend to any and all who haven't seen.
There is a book?? 😬 idk how, but this episode is at the very top of my lift of horror or what disturbed me the most. Cosmic horror is terrifying and this show has some prime examples
@@STEFRICH60500P Actually Beyond Aquila Rift can't be made in to a series, the story is to short, at best it could be turned iinto a movie, also Zima Blue is from the same universe as BAR, and despite folks saying that the episodes have no connection with each other, Zima Blues does have a connection with BAR, is subtle, but is there. What you guys most likely want is that theres more Alastair Reynolds being adapted into series and movies, the Revelation Space series would be a great start. this may motivate him to right a sequel to Aquila Rift.
I actually love watching 10-30 minute short films on youtube and you can pack a lot of amazing writing into 24 minutes for absolute pennies and these top studios can't even get a coherent script down with unlimited resources. We're in an era of independence in the industry and its been showing since comedians led the charge in 2020 on Instagram.
The Dracula is officially not Lovecraftian, lovecraftian horror is cosmic, as in not traditional Victorian terrestrial horror, like werewolf’s, monster of Frankenstein, vampire’s and mummies. Just to be unnecessarily over accurate.
@@dr.sergeykutzofykock9720 Beyond Aquila Rift also isn't cosmic horror, is more like the Book of Ezekiel passage about angels, the creature despite the horrific appearence is benevolent. You know why angels usually present thenselves saying "do not be afraid? Yeah, it is because their appearence is nothing close to conventional or mundane.
@@SugarW1thC0ffee maybe it require more of an explanation from my part... I watch both the ep AND i read the short story. Let's just say that the original story leans more towards scifi, and less to horror... Theres still some horror in the concept itself and in how the reality is presented in the story, but not much of a concern. One aspect of the original story that change completely the perspective is the malnourished plot that simply wasn't there in the OG story. The idea of angels and such is far more explicitly in the OG story than the EP... Both stories are the same, but both have their differences, for example, in the OG story Greta suggested that she and Thom had already did their play a few times, when we see this on the EP, we can only speculate that this had happened more than once, most people would simply assume it was the first time. Greta in the OG story is more open, instead of a fight like she and Thom did before she shown him the truth, she spend the whole time guiding Thom to the truth to the point where she tells him the truth, and the when Thom finally ask to see the truth, she just warn him and try to convince him to stay in the simulation until he is finally ready to see her... The visuals of the EP i think they are serviceable, but frankly i think.the lack creativity... For example when the real station is revealed to us, it looks like something that came out from a Dead Space game, while in the book at least for me i saw imagined something far more colorful and alien than alien organic sht. Greta design is a mixed bag, for once her real form does look alien and grotesque, but at the same time it also lacks creativity in my opinion, on the other hand the idea of making the creature emerging from the shadow look briefly as a female form was a genius move "living in the shadows" i guess... Well, again i don't consider a horror story because since i read the short story i can figured out a lot of things in the episode that most folks don't even pay attention... While you see a cosmic horror story, i see a beautiful and tragic story about universal love.
My thoughts exactly. Some of these are so far fetched that they might as well have added a few episodes more following the same distant comparisons. Anyway, still nice to be reminded of some of these stories I had forgotten about.
Even Beyond Aquila Rift isn't lovecraftian horror once you read the book, and decode the what is said there, it becomes a passage of the Book of Ezekiel from the Bible the episode speaks more about universal love than cosmic horror.. Greta is just a lonely angel lost in a forgoten place of the creation.
❤💀🤖 has a lot of awesome shorts, but my favorite has to be Kill Team Kill. The story, the humor, the over the top animation, and McHale, Green, and Blum did great at the voice acting!
Stumbled across this great series on Netflix not long ago. I found it riveting and binge watched. It proves there is still great creative talent out there but today’s “Hollywood” just seems to ignore it.
Well, Netflix isn't hollywood. Netflix is a studio that basically gives creators money and a platform then leave them alone. They don't have executives standing over their shoulders. Now, is a script written by a Hollywood studio makes it tp Netflix then yes you will see some Hollywood in there. But Netflix is the only major studio that does business like this and it works in their favor because that's how it would work if Hollywood executives didn't have creative control over the people who wrote the art to begin with. The sheer amount of content on Netflix in western nations specifically, is the pnpy studio where 80% of these scripts could even get made today.
Bad Traveling is a great story, probably my favorite. I really liked the recap of Mason and his Rats, it was charming, in the idea that even "pests" deserve humanity and maybe just maybe we can reach common ground with these "pests."
I kind of want an episode where it just keeps you guessing. And the two things that youll keep wondering is: "Is this thing real?" And "is this person possessed or crazy?" And it only has two characters. A single young person boy or girl. And a monstrosity pulled from a nightmare. The episode goes on with the girl hearing the voices of the monster and theyre just conversing as they are doing chores. Tending to a garden. Going to school. But every now and then. Youll see two versions. And its a flicker pattern. Every few seconds we go from a vibrant scene of chores to a dark nightmare full of carnage and death. And at the end the person goes to sleep. And its a close up shot of them waking up to the voice of the monster. Now. Is the monster a dream? Or is it real? Episode Title: The One i Talk to when its just me.
I hate that blonde wood too. Man this gun ass SUCH a Galil ARM style gun, but my old Galil's carry handle swings around really smoothly. If you hold it sideways, the handle hangs straight out toward the ground. I'd worry for that reason - I could see doing a "reach-under" style racking ( which often tilts the rifle sideways ), and having the carry handle muck it up. That looks like a real risk... Cool gun.
There isn't one story from both seasons that didn't entertain or intrigued me. Tho there are some that tied up their stories nicely, most I'd love to see a continued and/or made into a full length film
The Swarm, based on a story by S.M. Stirling. Fish Night, based on a story by Joe Landsdale... The Aquila Rift episode is more in the spirit of Philip K. Dick, but hey, what do I know? oh yeah, then there's Life Hutch, based on a Ray Bradbury story.
I am not 💯 but I think Lovecraft was first as he passed away in 1937. while I believe that the introduction of Godzilla is post world war 2. The destructive power of the atomic bomb in one creature/ force of nature. Additionally, depending on what Kaijus we are talking about the term Lovecraftian may or may not apply. From all the Kaijus I can think of the only one that would fit is King Geedorad, as it is the only extraterrestrial monster from what I understand. Lovecraftian horror is cosmic, as in non terrestrial, with a high emphasis on the unimportance of human kind in general in this massive universe. Fate is written a long time ago, and the human’s can’t escape theirs; tainted bloodlines, Eldridge gods, and the promise of insanity if you try a peak behind the curtain. I am not sure I answered your question, I am rather elevated. LoL “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents” call of Cthulhu "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ("In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming")
As much as I love the show “Zima Blue” is my absolute least favorite episode animation wise, pretentiousness and fake sense of fashion. And… the fact he is drawn pretty much like a gorilla 🤨.
I agree that Zema Blue is Lovecraftian. Lovecraft's Mythos was always a cry against scientific knowledge, and understanding in all its forms. His fear of progress, of new ways of thought, of times changing too fast were the fuel of his creative output. Lovecraft said Man's greatest fear is fear of the Unknown. But that fear was too familiar, and comfortable to ever abandon.
@@Awset Lovecraft fears man's unrelenting search for knowledge will lead him into places he was not meant to tread, leading to his downfall. Be it the depths of the ocean, space, or history, some knowledge is best left unknown.
THIS IS PROBABLY CLICK BAIT. Is disgusting how the youtuber discredits all the writers in favored of the racesist Lovecraft. Even taking credit from Bram Stoker (Dracula) who lived before the racesist. All the elements that the youtuber attributes to one mediocre writer, are elements that evolved with human nature. Even Voltaire wrote about space visitors in his work called Macromegas.
Lets hope these 20 min stories end quickly before they ruin the whole industry imagine making 8 episodes each 20 mins long and thats the season for a year so u take a vacation the rest of the 11 months wow great its like they forgot how too make good long shows like sopranos the shield the wire oz i can keep going my god tv has gotten complete trash watched the what if show and wow such garbage

@@aesirhog4811 The cosmic horror cames from the fear of the unknown, Greta is actually an angel.

Lovecraft Deathcraft & Robotcraft
Ok definitely a stretch of the term "Lovecraftian" but Love, Death & Robots is a great series that more people should know about and watch so... 👍
Some are stretches some are very obviously inspired
Looking forward to the next one. Some of the short films deserve a full blown movie.

Zima blue is great because the message is easy to understand but leaves plenty to think about

This is a mandatory watch for any fan of animation.
'The Secret War' is probably my favorite.....next to 'Suits' and 'Masons Rats'.
Secret war was awesome
All through the house, the twisted version of Santa is something else
i think Zima Blue was a bit of a reach as far as Lovecraftian themes go
Some of the others, too.
