Anyone else here watch The Young Pope? It's been a super emotional watch. I'm about to start the last episode, will pop in with my reaction after the episode. This shit has been enthralling.
Enjoy bro. One of my favorites.

>being conservative is childish
Take your shit show and blow it out your ass
>>84302461
It really is though.
Being hostile against change is child-like behaviour.
The ending was 10/10

Unironically this-now eat your goddamn vegetables
nice blog

The point is that he's conservative for childish reasons, not that all conservatives are childish.
this show is the reason I'm moving to Rome in 2 months

I guess that's why older people tend more toward conservatism as a rule and finding a conservative in college is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Because "it's childish."
Fucking libshits.

P-please don't hurt the Pope, Satan...

But that's like the hallmark of old age though. Adults tend to be more resistant because they've usually settled on the values and beliefs they believe they want to stand for.
One of the finest shows to come out in recent memory.
The whole last 20 minutes of Episode 8 feel angelic. I mean that truly, it's a beautiful series of shots and the score is inspired. Everything in the show is great, though the time shift and subsequent tone change around Episode 5 almost was too much of a put off I'm glad I stuck with it.
Too many people are either Christians worried it shits on Christianity, or athiests worried it's too "muh religion". It's neither. It's about identity, specifically what one is and what one can be in the absence of the Father, both literally and in a divine sense. I really hope they don't make any more but I hear S2 was greenlit and is going to focus on some unrelated story somehow.

Why the fuck is an HBO show not on my HBO? Only HBO show i can't find on there..
HBO Nordic btw, but why should that matter?
>>84301231
Yes. It's very overrated. Most actors give bad performances, the soundtrack and cinematography is dreadful and cheap-looking, and the script is often absurdly melodramatic teenage-tier fantasy without an ounce of self-awareness. There are good bits that are particularly good, but by and large I don't get why everyone's in love with it.

>Falling for the "older people are wiser" meme
People tend to get more conservative as they get older specifically because they're afraid of change. When you start losing touch with what's going on in the world, you get more and more scared because people are afraid of what they don't know/can't understand. The whole >muh golden age nostalgia is nothing but a wish of returning to the womb.

>Older people tend to disagree with my personal political philosophies
>Well it must be fear of change, it can't possibly be because of more experience even though they have objectively had more experience than me. Especially when it comes to generational societal change.
>I'm going to discount the fact that older people have been faced with fear more often as well and that they are still both 1) alive and 2) sharing their opinions freely, showing they're probably not living in fear.
What a worthwhile opinion.
>>84303279
Can you elaborate?
>>84303338
I could. But I'm not going to. Now ask yourself. can I?
can I elaborate? Don't reply with you elaboration. Just ask. Can I? Can I truly elaborate?
There's your answer.
>>84303428
Thanks for the discussion, anon. Have a great evening.
>>84302740
You can be of old age and still act childishly.
Also
>Older people tend to disagree with my personal political philosophies
Nobody has said that.
>>84303528
anytime.
>>84303139
You sound like a gigantic faggot with little to no life experience
>>84303631
you sound like a conservative
>>84303294
>unironically thinking experience means diddle in an age where the world changes dramatically every 5 years
>sharing your opinion is being brave, even though you will never be seriously called out for it because muh respek for elders
>being exposed to fear more makes you resistant to the 2 greatests fear of all, death + uncertainty
>>84303631
You sound like you blame others for your inability to communicate
>>84303717
God how young are you? Hopefully no more than 22? What tired points.
This age is not magically different from the past. You are not free of history, you just have different ways to talking to others humans. Humans who have not fundamentally changed. Humans who are faced with fears and responsibilities every single day, which yes contrary to what you may think does make you more hardy of an individual.
>>84304131
Will you share your worthwhile, hardy, experienced, fear-driven opinions, elder anon, and let the youth better themselves by your words?
The show is pure kino. Would have been nice if it the dialogue didn't feel like it was written by a ESL kid though.
>>84304131
Of course humans haven't fundamentally changed completely, but the circumstances around them change in a faster pace than ever recorded, and if you really think that doesn't have an effect on people, their brains, their psyche, you're just wrong (A very basic example of this is dopamine. No human in history ever had this much exposure to things that make you produce dopamine, i.e computers, porn, video games).
And no, no amount of exposure to fear or responsibility makes alienation easier for anyone, unless they already faced it and overcame. And this basically guarantees you will be more open to different things/people/environment because it's the only way to "beat" alienation.

Fuck off, the current pope is a kike
Dudes dudes dudes, this is OP, just finished it! The ending was not what I was expecting. Why'd they dedded him? His sermon was amazing, I was literally in tears. I dig that they didn't do the feel-good reunion with the parents ending, but why did they kill him off?
>>84303528
>Have a great evening.
but it's morning
best girl
>>84303038
I thought the acting was pretty great actually. But aside from that the story wasn't amazing or groundbreaking at all. I think people like it on this board because of the massive influx of christfags over the past few years.
If you dislike this show, you are subhuman
>>84301231
Great series but twin peaks is on now so old news
>>84305279
>but twin peaks is on now
but it's shit. No amount of star power can save the first 8 episodes
>>84303139
>When you start losing touch with what's going on in the world, you get more and more scared because people are afraid of what they don't know/can't understand.
You mean like just about every young person in the western world at the moment? In that case, who is actually in touch with reality then?
This show is so fucking good it hurts. I'll find myself wanting to rewatch a scene and will inevitably end up watching the whole ep.
