First clarify my love: I am a senior mahjong fan. One of the wildest dreams is to pitch a tent under the pyramid and rub it 32 times.
Now evaluate the script of all eighteen episodes, from the perspective of science fiction creation. The old rules and ugly words are said first.
0 stars
Episode 4 - Mobile Armor (Western Peasants Fighting Monsters)
I have given 1 star to other pure monsters, but this one will not work. I put it here because I couldn't find a rating lower than zero stars. Plot, imagery, and dialogue would be booed even in a true B-rated Western. I simply suspect that the author of this episode is playing trolling irony: look, I just use such a clichéd and infinitely rotten book, as long as it is visualized, it will be online!
1 star★
Episode 5 - Soul Eater (Underground Adventure vs Dracula)
Episode 18 - Secret War (Red Army Fighting Monsters)
These two episodes don't have any plot weight at all, they're purely fighting monsters. The previous one showed off stereotyping, Asian nerd shredded. The latter one is entirely a digital imaging technology show. Technology is very good.
2 stars★★
Episode 3 - Witness (Mao)
This episode, the stylistic and visual achievement is very high. But here is just the script. Very old-fashioned loop structure, didn't give 1 star because it's a Möbius loop, although the logic is worse, it's finally a bit new. Didn't give 3 stars because Mao was inexplicable (but Mao was good looking and the soundtrack was especially good).
Episode 6 - When Yogurt Ruled the World (Yogurt)
Want to play nonsense, but nothing new. The ending is even more boring, play nonsensical and avoid preaching. The only thing that concerns me is: which province?
Episode 10 - Shapeshifter (Wolfman)
Originally it was also fighting monsters. The image of the werewolf was purely copied from Underworld, and it should be 1 star. One more star because of baring teeth at the dinner table. This is not the achievement of the video, but the successful creation of the script atmosphere.
Episode 12 - Fish Night (Nude Swimming and Feeding Sharks)
The first half of the script is again a trite miniature road movie. The second half of the guy was eaten, is it interesting? boring. Stunned? There is a little bit of emotion as a viewer. So give one more star. The visual style of this episode is also good.
Episode 13 - Lucky 13 (Deadly Sluggish Transporter)
Such a short script is actually a bit textured. It's just that the last bit of dawdling is really frustrating, and it's too thin to show an AI that has never snorted. By the way, greeting design: Do you think that if you change it to a single vertical tail, you will not recognize that the enemy plane is the J-20 of the Chinese Dynasty?
Episode 15 - Blind Spot (Mecha Gang Carjacking)
The style of painting is very 1970s, and those with retro taste will like it. Licking cats is the subject of the whole series, which is also ignored here. As the only highlight of the script is "We backed up our brains", the sense of disobedience of sci-fi exploded instantly. What can't you do with such a terrifying technology?
3 stars★★★
Episode 7 - Beyond the Crack of Aquila (Warm Pansi Cave)
It is said that the original work is much more hard-core, and only the actual combat script is evaluated here. The interaction of the first few characters did not create enough suspense and scientific thinking, but the short script reduced the essence of the original work. In the end, it's just a replica of the few minutes Neo wakes up in The Matrix.
Episode 9 - Junkyard (The Daily Life of White Trash)
The design of this script is similar to the 4th episode of 0 star, but the effect is high. Episode 4 is so stale and lacking in texture. This episode has a very strong texture, and the dirtyness of White Trash is vividly displayed, and it is a little allergic to look at it. The most important thing is that the story does not violate the harmony, the nesting doll story, the thriller structure and the final little baggage are all pleasing to the eye. I would give 4 stars if it wasn't too revealing.
Episode 11 - A Helping Hand (Cow's Three Laws in Action)
One of the most natural sci-fi episodes in the entire series, although it is playing the three laws of space walking bullshit that has been chewed up. The twisting hand design perfectly matches the violent style of the collection. However, since the standard is to be required by the standard: the mooring line has become the norm in the age of sailing, you really can't get on it? So not four stars.
Episode 16 - The Age of the Refrigerator (Nuclear Sunburn)
This is the most iconic episode of the series. A brief summary: In order to pursue the visual texture and the instant stimulation of the short drama, the rigor and self-consistency of all sci-fi creations can be sacrificed. Time scale, scale, what energy level is the nuclear explosion? I just need to grasp the feeling of seeing the universe in a grain of sand, the "history of civilization in the refrigerator", and it's enough to have a good time. Does it make sense? interesting. This kind of gameplay is promoting and dwarfing sci-fi at the same time, so Samsung.
Episode 17 - Alternate History (5P Swastika)
This is a playful work, with dense stalks stuffed from the script to the video. The basic setting "If Hitler..." is a thousand-year-old stalk of the Western Internet. Then Dr. Strangelove, Moon Landing Footprints, Time Travel Don't Touch Me, Blue Screen Terrier, and so on, all crammed in. Originally this was cute and had five star potential. It's a pity that the script was exhausted after the first two lines, and the last few lines were very boring, and they began to be violent and violent again. The essence of playing alternate history is that you have to have your own logic despite the odd tricks. But the next few lines have no logic at all and are blindly grandstanding. So deduct two stars severely.
4 stars★★★★
Episode 1 - Sonny's Advantage (Heels Stomping Head)
A quite satisfactory double inversion, earning enough average points. Finally shake out the burden of "survival fear is strength" and add one star. As amazing as the first episode of the series, the script is not enough in terms of Cyberpunk art and high-quality pornography. Certainly much better than the last episode.
Episode 2 - The Three Robots (species come and go, cat slaves are forever)
That's right, as long as the chat is interesting and tasteful, it is totally worth four stars. Licking pussy ignore.
Episode 8 - Good luck hunting (Vixen)
Just don't play cards according to the routine. It is very difficult for sci-fi creation to play cultural crossovers, especially for ultra-short stories. To cross the border well, it needs texture and details. Generally, it takes a long story to build it slowly. At least the taste of this episode is positive, and the problems of painting style and small details are not concealed.
5 stars★★★★★
Episode 14 - Sesame Works (Blue)
In such a short space, it is very meaningful and the imagery is very complex. These are worth four stars. What makes me give five stars is another factor: Zima's later works are really good looking, but those blue blocks in the earlier works are really ugly.
Such ugly things in the plot are still very popular, and very accurately capture the prestige of famous artists and the blind obedience of audiences. It's very realistic, 5 stars.
************Mahjong Sci-Fi Dividing Line************
If I averaged my script ratings, this show wouldn't even get three stars. But I gave it four stars, but I didn't give it five stars because of patience.
Because tourism is not about reminiscing about pharaohs and Napoleon's cannons under the pyramids, and contemplating the beauty of life and the fragility of the environment on coral reefs. That is tourism in chicken soup, and it hardly exists in reality.
In reality, the travel where the company makes money and the customers are happy is playing mahjong under the pyramid, playing mahjong in the coral reef hut, and maybe going to Mars to play mahjong in the future.
The value of "Love Dead" lies in:
Cowboys put cattle and fight monsters under the dome of the alien energy field, the Red Army fights monsters in Siberia, and scientists fight monsters in ancient tombs.
Insulted women fight monsters in postmodern London, and they become monsters when they beat them.
The U.S. military fights monsters in Afghanistan, and it is itself a monster.
There is also a very entertaining form of tourism, which is a concise and fast substitution experience. For example, go to the Red Fort location in Croatia, put on Joe's antler crown, and take a picture behind the spear wearing his head. For example, go to Ginza and have a cup of tea with a geisha who does not know the truth.
The value of "Love Dead" lies in:
Throwing you a cup of yogurt, or a piece of jelly, or a giant spider in the face will give you the basic feel of "Diner at the End of the Universe" or "The Matrix" in a few minutes . There is no need for more, the audience in the mobile phone era has no time to listen to you.
Mahjong and Daguai have proven to be the original form of entertainment. The mahjong venues are rare and dangerous, and the innovation of the environment and types of monsters is the right way for industrial development. You go to redesign a board game, or discuss its biochemistry, the history of the universe with monsters, it is very thankless. Only a handful of hardcore diehards would find these entertaining.
This drama provides new ideas for sci-fi development in the mobile Internet era: mobile phone attention time, the simplest version of sci-fi ideas (both bad stalks and fake ideas), plus exquisite visual and style design packaging, it is an excellent bestseller. The product. Digital imaging and animation techniques can even dispense with real people.
The author only needs to wait for a real sci-fi technology to mature, and then he can realize his dream from producers to consumers: a digital animation engine that can be operated by individuals or small teams, supported by massive materials and templates.
In this way editors, publishers, booksellers, copyright dealers, directors, actors, studios, theater chains can all die. Leaving only the navy and the influencer critics as the muses of our time.
