Same. Looked up the premise "2% of global population disappeared and people are coping". Shouldn't that be 98% disappeared? 2% is nothing. What kind of "drama" would that even create?

>>81510912
>What kind of "drama" would that even create?
None. People should be rejoicing over the fact there are 2% less mouths to feed.

>>81510912
perhaps you could try actually watching the show

>>81510535
Yeah it was. I stopped watching season 2 after one of it's 'best episodes' was underwhelming.

>>81510227
A little overemotional but I was hooked when one fine, middle aged lawyer chick is coping by listening to hours of loud Slayer and then paying strangers to shoot her in her bullet proof vest.

My boner makes me watch after that.

Turned out to be fairly creepy with some mystery edge. Flawed but I like it.

>>81511927
>my uncle and friends cousin
that would already be 0.02x0.02=0.4%. yeah the global effect would be big, but no one's day to day would change shit. certainly not worth to make a drama show about centered around average new yorkers.

>>81513085
>but no one's day to day would change shit.
you probably can't relate with it because if people magically disappeared, you wouldn't lose anyone since you have no one, but for those people who lose their wives, husbands, kids, etc, their life would most definitely change.

Imagine how desperate you would get if your favorite girl twitch streamer disappeared and you didn't have anyone else you wanted to throw your money at.

>>81513174
if you have 10 close friends and all of those people have 4 family members. chances are still none of those died. 2% isn't shit. it would be on the news one day and the next day no one but the people directly affected would care until more news.

ebin projections in general, mate.

>>81513248

>>81513271
people who lost a family member and went to back to work the next day since they aren't scientists working it out? i guess i'll pass.

>2 out of every 100
About 55 million die each year so to reach your 140 million that's roughly a little under 3 years worth of deaths. Not big at all.

>>81513870
average people's daily routine would go back to normal after a day or two. maybe a week. even if you were personally affected. scientists would be working overnights. regardless of the death toll it wouldn't be any larger news than the biggest global news we have right now. that 2% spread all over the world, when most people are in shit hole countries. yeah it wouldn't be any bigger event to average people around e.g new orleans than katarina was.

Yes but those are natural deaths over a long period of time. not a massive number of one hundred million people vanishing at the same time.

the show tackles the same issue, about people abusing the event. Just because some autist on 4chan can minimize something, doesn't mean the rest of the world does.

>>81514459
Natural is a stretch. More like all encompassing recorded deaths. It may be a few million more and the amount of people who die each year is also increasing.

>>81510227

sorry damon u_u

>>81514556
I don't get why you're having a hard time with population as a whole versus those personally affected by it. That's what the show is about.

well let's pull it back to the show. LOST premise was just about average people crashing on an island and then expanded to the whole island mystery and those people's lives. that's already interesting from multiple angles. how will they survive etc. the lives of average new yorkers in a world where 2% world population have disappeared doesn't sound much more interesting than the lives of average new yorkers in the real world.

>>81513444

try watching the show holy shit.

>>81514773
I find the leftovers premise more interesting that "random strangers stranded on island because of plane crash"

>>81514823
i'm sure it expands like LOST and those people have more interesting relations to the mystery than just mourning their loved ones, since it's lindelof, but just the premise alone doesn't sound like it would create anything more.

and it wouldn't as big of a deal in the real world either for average people.

>>81515066
>and it wouldn't as big of a deal in the real world either for average people.
neither is one random flight going down, but the show wasn't about that, was it?

>>81515116
nope, but that is what people fought me on specifically for whatever reason itt.

>>81515066
100 million people disappearing at once would be a massive event. people die all the time it's natural but an event like that is unexplainable. nothing like it has ever happened in history.
yes im sure it wouldn't be the end of the world. but it would bring so many questions to the world and how we think.

>>81513085
Yeah exactly right.
Like 9/11 three people.jump from the building five more die in.flame.
Whats the big deal ameriretard ?
You make itm such a big deal like we live in post 9/11 society but it s acutally no big deal
Right ?
Ps : kys autist

>>81515066
you're reducing the show as if lost was about the airline company dealing with the bureaucracy of losing the flight.

The 2% disappearing is essentially a mcguffin. The show is about how religions deal with them and the event in general, cults being formed, communities dealing with those cults and religions, the ways people take advantage of the event or create ideologies from it. Imagine a world where people don't just brush it off and go back to their regular lives but there are characters who try to. Tack on a based justin thorax with a huge cock flopping around in sweatpants going insane and trying to get by but has to deal with ALL of it. If you don't find that interesting, fine, you don't. Doesn't mean it's not.

>>81510227
I-I'm sure the show's quality is someone else's responsibility, b-baka

>>81515243
because that's what you focused on you fucking autist.

>>81515395
that's what the people who called me a retard and an autist have been focusing on. i talked about the show and so have people who've had actual arguments and not insults. what a weird coincidence.

>>81515243
People fought you because u are an.autistic sperglord. Grow up man

>>81515373

>>81515465
>Same. Looked up the premise "2% of global population disappeared and people are coping". Shouldn't that be 98% disappeared? 2% is nothing. What kind of "drama" would that even create
>i talked about the show
just like how lost isn't about how the world deals with a random flight going down, this show isn't about how the world deals 2% disappearing. Just like how lost is about the people on the flight, this show is about people immediately connected to the 2% disappearing and who are affected by it. There's lots of drama there.

>all these plebs who STILL can't let the mystery be

I look forward to the pleb free threads

>>81515358
That is all fine, but not what it says on the premise, which is what my comment was about.
>Three years after the disappearance of 2% of the global population, a group of people from New York struggle to continue their lives, while they cope with the tragedy of the unexplained nature of the event.
An unexplainable disappearance of 2% of world population doesn't sound like it would make a group of new yorkers to struggle to continue their lives 3 years later.

>>81515665
fuck man, how hard is it living with this severe form of autism?

to you it doesn't sound like struggle, but the show is presenting the premise THAT IT IS A STRUGGLE, WATCH IT TO FIND OUT HOW.

>>81515665
glad to see you're just going to be thick headed about it and keep on reducing it. Watch it or don't, no one gives a fuck.

Not much without the whole mystery, which would've been a big part of my point. If you lost your mother, it wouldn't make your life any more interesting to other people. If the world in that show has devolved into some cultist Mad Max-esque scenario that's just what should've been said on the premise or ITT. That's all fine. I didn't start the whole "bb-b-b-but mr. autist how'd you cope if your mother died in real life.. you just don't get how it would be a big deal."

>>81510790

That doesn't even matter.

>>81515852
>If you lost your mother, it wouldn't make your life any more interesting to other people.
it would if it came out that I had an incestial relationship with her. That's kind of what the show is about, but you have to watch it to get it instead of
>I haven't seen it but I don't like it

>>81515940
You might notice I didn't respond to the first reasonable post that was "just watch the show." I replied to the person calling me a retard for not understanding how big of a deal that premise would be in the real world, not the show. My first comment was just an off the cuff remark directly about the show's premise that I had just read.

>>81515940
but if the premise isn't enough to grab an audience member from watching whats the point in caring?

>>81515778
This also further highlights that 2% of the world's population is still a lot of fucking people. If six million Americans just disappeared all in an instant, it would be chaos. Now imagine that proportion of people disappearing across the globe. 2% is a fuckton.

>>81516191
We already covered the numbers earlier in the thread. CONCLUSION: 2% spread across the whole world is peanuts.

>>81516258
Holy shit, you're dense. Do you have at least semi-frequent interaction with fifty people? If so, statistically speaking, one of them would have in this event disappeared, alongside hundreds of millions of others. That's a big fucking deal.

If you don't personally know at least fifty people, then I feel sorry for you.

>>81516191
But US being only a fraction of the whole world population, only a fraction of the 8bil. x 2% would be American. No one would care about a bunch of chinks and poo dots disappearing. In fact it would honestly be beneficial.

>>81516258
>140m is peanuts
>More people than died in both World Wars combined

160m people died in war in the 20th century. That's only 20m more than disappeared, except in the case of the show, they all vanish on one day. "Peanuts" my ass.

>>81516352
How bad at math are you? 2% worldwide means that statistically, 2% of Americans likely disappeared. Thus the US would lose roughly six million people, Canada would lose about 700,000, China would lose 26 million, etc.

>>81516451
So you're saying 2% of each nations population disappeared?

>>81516560
That's what "2% of the world's population" means, yeah. You wouldn't get those exact numbers, but the show stresses that this is a worldwide event, and so the statistics would work out to roughly that. It's not like say, all of Russia disappeared and Mexico was untouched, or something.

>>81516451
Those numbers don't quite add up, mate. Please apologize to me, after you've realized your mistake.

>>81516659
Enlighten me then, Archimedes. How doesn't that add up?

>>81516639
>That's what "2% of the world's population" means, yeah.
No. that is not what it means. THAT means it was equally disperseed throughout each nations population.
> It's not like say, all of Russia disappeared and Mexico was untouched, or something.
If it were then that would be a show. A whole country of people wiped off the map is far more interesting and distressing than a varied flux of people who disappeared one day. Even if it were China and 140 mil just vanished overnight, it still would make more of a dent in shock to the rest of the world but evenly dispersed or even disproportionately dispersed...not so much.

2% of America's population + 2% of Canada's population + 2% of Russia's population + 2% of China's population + 2% of India's population + yadda yadda yadda = 2% of the world's population = ~140 million people

How are you not getting this?

>>81516851
>If it were then that would be a show

Season two actually focuses heavily on a small town in Texas in which miraculously, no one disappeared--which heavily implies that everywhere else was affected roughly the same (meaning roughly two percent of every country's population would have disappeared)

>>81516949
because you are taking 2% of each individual nations population rather than 2% of the worlds total overall population. Does the show give hard evidence to that stance or is it 2% with some nations losing more than others. Is it dispersed evenly throughout the globe or are some places more affected than others?

>>81517006
Thank you

>>81510912
It doesn't create anything except some cults. The premise is just a backdrop for a family drama. It's a solid drama though. Don't watch the series if you expect the rapture to be investigated.

>>81517080
It never says that every country lost exactly 2% of their population, but when you're dealing with numbers that high, it can be logically concluded that each country lost approximately 2% (as it is implied that everywhere in the world was affected about the same)

>>81517080
>Is it dispersed evenly throughout the globe or are some places more affected than others?

There is a voice on the radio in the pilot reading out the number of people each country lost, and based on the numbers provided, each country mentioned lost roughly 2%

>>81517312
Or it could be implied China lost 40 million people and 100 other countries lost 1 million people.

>>81517346
A solid answer. Thank you kind anon. Sometimes it's like beat ones own head up against a wall with the way some here argue.
