It’s going to forever be a “you had to have been there” type show. I remember during the livestream I was attempting to explain to friends who hadn’t watched the show some of the conflicts between fish and the reason they were present, and unsurprisingly it took forever. If you want to go in depth on even a very small part of the show it will take you hours. That’s not an exaggeration.
The wiggers hanging around Sam never bothered me because I could see how productive they were behind the scenes, but their friendship with Damiel makes me second guess everything. Even if he's secretly some hilarious comedian he's quite possibly one of the most unlikable people ever.
The amount of times he's openly referenced beating on an ex of his in the past, he's like a high school football star that got a CTE in senior year, re-re-re-re-re-reminiscing a glorious day. And I can't hear any shit about "I bet you really thought he had a pregnant wife" cuz he's still been talking about it. And they even added a basement reference to him beating on women in the documentary like we might appreciate the additional insight. In case you didn't notice, Damiel's all about beating on women! Vance beats on drums, Damiel...
it's similar in nature to how when you'll try to explain conflicts or situations that happen to you or your friends to another person. to everyone involved everyone kind of knows what the fuck is going on progressively. but when you need to explain to someone, you will notice as you explain since the beginning that there was a lot of shit to unpack, "you just had to be there".
choosing lolcows as main contestants would be an acute display of incompetence on jet's part. we don't need orbiters or established lolcows on the show. we need everyday "normal" peculiar people.
Jet said the first 3 were edited right before they started airing, all the future ones including 4 will be shitty rush jobs he is doing since then. He took months to make those pieces of shit all the upcoming ones will just be whatever he can hack together. 4 will probably be better then the shit that follows, he'll just be panic editing to put anything together to air in like a week from now on lol.
IIRC at the start of the show they didn't check the fine print on their original hosting arrangement and got charged $30k for 3 days' worth of streaming bandwidth
I get why Jet is blocking negative comments from his feed now. This shit is annoying to read. There is not one single thing he could do that would make you like the project. Your only goal is to talk shit and hate mindlessly without any tact whatsoever. Nobody in this thread is praising Jet Neptune btw. He's pretty much universally disliked. Also I recommend reading at least a few pages of the thread before leaving a comment so you'd realize you're just repeating old information.
There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but the thing that rubs me and probably others wrong about him is his arrogance and inability to take any criticism, however constructive. Nobody is expecting him to be next Peter Jackson or Ken Burns, but nevertheless, theres a minimum required amount of planning ahead and management for a project like this. Instead, the pacing is all out of whack and the show has zero consistency. It jumps between challenges, things are presented without any context, it's 4 episodes in and nobody has still mentioned what the show is even about. I predict it's going even more off the rails because they have to tell 30 days of story over 6 half-hour episodes. Why did they even restrict themselves to 10 episodes in the first place? I'm sure he learned a lot from the first season and that's okay. What is not okay is responding to any criticism with a variation of "I'm right, you just don't get the high art I'm making". Of course that's going to piss people off.
