Garnt's Favorite Shows of 2024

[@IgnitionRegalia]

Garnt likes good concept shows, not how good the show is. I can kinda relate, going back to his Re:Creators video, the concept was super fun and interesting but not executed perfectly. I still found it fun and hype when those moments happen, especially near the end with those fights.

[@Wulk]

He is the SAO guy for a reason lmao

[@rohantiamson]

He is the guy who likes Season 7 of GoT the season that ruined my favorite character

[@SammyCee23]

Ehh. Anyone can have brilliant or mind blowing ideas, but how many can execute it properly? It's a tale as old as time.

[@LightningRaven42]

Oh man, that's exactly how I felt about Re:Creators. However, instead of liking shows that have interesting ideas and but don't execute them well, more often than not, I end up disliking them more because of "what could have been". Re:Creators was particularly bad for me, because the show sucks real hard and barely explores the initial concept and the meta-narrative is more of a gimmick and a very weak attempt at emotional manipulation with the main villain.

[@rohantiamson]

@@LightningRaven42 Is it that bad because I heard Gigguk, Mudan and Mother’s Basement’s reviews on it and all of them said it’s good though Mudan was most critical than Gigguk or MB

[@CaptainPlayerMan]

hate to be that guy but this being one of the only books i've ever read i can confidently say "the book was better"

[@MidoriKame7]

As someone who didn't read the books I had no clue wtf was going on during the show

[@nabilahalshari7880]

Agreed, the book was better.

[@einCAA]

​@@MidoriKame7 that part is like in the books. The story starts as a mystery. Humanity has no idea what the fuck is going on. Until they manage to solve the mystery.

[@richard-johnsonfarukh3662]

The books are definitelly better explained, and have more ideas that are explored far better, and are more consistent in their sci-fi elements. HOWEVER, all the characters in the books are all dry as hell. Not to say that the show characters are amazing, but at least they have some substance. What we have in the books alone would not make for a good viewing experience for the general audience.

[@CaptainPlayerMan]

@@richard-johnsonfarukh3662 totally agreed thats exactly how i feel. the characters are definitely the weakest part of the books, but sadly the characters in the show aren't that great either.

[@dankshadow5665]

garnt’s mind is kind of scary lmao he doesn’t like condiments he says 10/10 shows are easy to forget for him and he likes more conceptual stuff its actually a social experiment

[@thegamingwolf5612]

And is an arsenal fan

[@UHiatal]

@@thegamingwolf5612 XDDD he likes the concept

[@rohantiamson]

And is an Isekai fan

[@JustSippingTea]

The 3 body show has a better slower yet more accurate adaptation on prime which is called 3 body, it more properly adapts the book

[@thanosal-titan]

The Chinese version?

[@JustSippingTea]

@thanosal-titan yeah made by tencent I believe

[@rohantiamson]

Just gonna tell you before the video start: 3 Problems Body Show was made the same guys who ruined Game of Thrones and Gart likes it

[@TheSperoman]

Three body problem novel is so much better tho

[@Alucard2091]

Every book reader would say

[@theninjabird9510]

so?

[@andok3135]

I've read the first two books, but haven't watched the show. The ideas were nice but the characters were pretty bland imo

[@dankshadow5665]

it definitely is

[@Triaxonico]

@@theninjabird9510better experience and a lot of things make more sense although the book is slightly different

[@LightningRaven42]

I like how Garnt says he won't spoil the show and straight up jumps to the BIGGEST TWIST in the narrative. 'What' is The Dark Forest is a concept that is only revealed at the end of book two. As someone who read all three books, I think the show did a good job at adapting the concepts introduced in the novels and implant into a more hollywoodian story with hollywoodian characters. The chinese novels have very poor characterization that would not translate well into a high budget international TV show. They messed up some of the larger ideas, but overall, I think it's exploring the larger concepts of the novel quite well even if it's not being a faithful adaptation. The best part of the novels are the ideas and concepts explored, rather than character journeys we follow.

[@wahilabdulmalik4681]

One Piece Fan Letter was goated

[@PSYHICDODO]

The big look up at the sky scene was terribly translated to the show, the entire show is a travesty of an adaptation of a very smart book. It’s also the culturally appropriated and most white washed adaptation I’ve seen in some time.

[@JustSippingTea]

I don't even think the problem is the actors but it's how poorly everything was adapted

[@eltongoaustriaco8268]

It felt like Doctor Who

[@Crytaljam]

The problem with 3 body problem, is that the source material heavily relies on knowledge of chinese history, in order to make sense of the VR elements and people's decisions in time. The show changed the main plot location to suit a western audience, and it suffered as a result

[@eltongoaustriaco8268]

3 body problem felt like a special episode of Doctor Who. There is even a similar scene with the eye in the sky. And like DW, the whole story somehow centers around GB.

[@marekantonin7850]

Grant should learn the selfgameend strat

[@mrchom]

Three body problem was a joke of a show, burning through potentially interesting concepts at a terrifying pace while doing very little with them. The concept, set up, and execution of the boat scene is so asinine it beggars belief. By the end I was hate watching just to see how dumb it would get…

[@Exel3nce]

its only s1

[@mrchom]

@ sure, but with a season 1 like that I won’t be back for season 2.

[@Dracobyte]

I hope they can watch Scavenger's Reign. It is s cool sci-fi show that deserves more attention!

[@Chocolatecakeicecream]

garnt should watch the chinese version of the show

[@spyrospy9941]

The Dark Forest theory is actually named after the Three Body Problem sequel of the same name!

[@thanosal-titan]

What do you mean?

[@Chocolatecakeicecream]

@@thanosal-titan the dark forest theory garnt is talking about comes from the 2nd book in the 3 body problem book trilogy which he doesnt realize

[@GabrielK4]

@@Chocolatecakeicecream the theory existed before the book, they just use the 2nd book's name for the theory(not sure the reason why), but it's a good name for the theory.

[@dfnlight3448]

3 body problem book is soooo much better

[@grantlauzon5237]

The 3 Body show has bad pacing because it tries to setup the plots of the other 2 books in the trilogy at the end of the first season. The first book ends shortly after the boat scene. Book 2 and 3 start at the end of the first book then have hundred year time skips. The pacing in the books is slow and nothing makes sense until the very end of each book. That, and books 2 and 3 are twice as long as the first book are why they setup their stories which killed the pacing at the end of season 1. Many people will say the Netflix show is a bad adaptation of the book. I would say it's a bad adaptation of the first book but a great adaptation of the series.

[@MyOnlyBedBreaker]

I absolutely love the three body problem books and would recommend it to any sci fi enjoyer, haven’t watched the show tho and it doesn’t sound that good

[@axiekroniickles5023]

Thank you Garnt for suggesting this trash show (3 body problem) and wasted hours of my show but thankfully i can skip every other minute and still get the storyline because IT'S SO PREDICTABLE! Never seen some sci fi this bad

[@RafaelCDinardi]

He convinced me to watch, I went to it thinking it was about physics and was very disappointed. I didn't keep watching after first episode because it was so bad

[@KittRembo]

The Netflix show? yeah not too great but the Chinese version is out there with english subs and its sooo good and closer to the books!

[@賽太公]

yes, watch the chinese version, the best part is it's pretty much 90% 1 to 1 to the book(except they toned down touchy part about Cultural Revolution in China).

[@kelvintesha6148]

Grant read the books are awesome of “the three body problems “

[@bigguccisosa9908]

Been said ad nauseam in the comments but the book “3 Body Problem” is soooooo much better than the tv show.

[@modder15]

When will Garnt like a good show like The Expanse or something?

[@itachiuchiha-bl5wv]

Felt the manga reader experience of "the books are better"!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Tbh, the things that are in the books are very hard to replicate in live action..specially the alien shit...so i anticipated it but it was worse than i thought it was gonna be...

[@dekuignite7488]

the books of 3 body problem are insanely good , the show falls flat .

[@xiuxiu1108]

Three Body Problem was such an ungrounded, high-concept, kinda goofy what-if scifi idea that wanted to take itself super dramatic and seriously when it could've benefited from a bit of levity in its narrative approach. Trying to tie communist China to space aliens sending puzzle-solving VR goggles to scientists was not the eureka moment that the show thought it was.

[@nabilahalshari7880]

I heard the tencent version had more levity, though apparently it wasn't perfect either.

[@thisguy1349]

Conner is so full of sh*t! The CGI is top tier and it ended really good. Conner doesn’t have good taste in show at all. This guy just doesn’t like joy and anything happy going on in his life so he has to put down really good shows to make himself feel better. I feel sorry for him, honestly.

[@Rudahn]

Feels like I’m taking crazy pills hearing people talk about this show. I really enjoyed it throughout, thought the boat scene was appropriately horrifying, and enjoyed the tone of the ending. Really looking forward to another season to see what happens and how they solve the problems that were established and have definitely looked at bugs a little differently since watching it! 👀

[@thisguy1349]

@ thank you! I Thoroughly enjoyed it too. I thought it was really good. Everyone keeps saying that the book is better which I don’t doubt but you got to give the show some credit lol

[@rdwn1999]

Getting this angry over a show is unhealthy

[@thisguy1349]

@ grant has said much worse about lesser shows so… it just shows how unhealthy you are
