TheNewKnight the thing with 3D is that it has to be rendered (calculate all the textures, shadows, object colors in different lightings, and calculate the distance and perspectives so you convert it into a 2D image since our screens are 2D). If it is a movie, it doesn't matter how much time it takes, you can make it super detailed and go to sleep while the pc generates a movie file (depending on what you are doing, each frame can take hours or days), then you don't have to render anything again. Now with videogames the thing is different, everytime something moves or the light changes you have to render again from a different perspective (and you want 60 frames per second, no 1 frame per hour), and make ugly algebra to calculate if a model is touching another model (collission), so your character doesn't go through things like a ghost (this includes the floor). This doesn't mean it is impossible, but it requires a lot of performance consideration from the developer and a very good GPU to run it. So, being able to do a movie this realistic doesn't mean we already have the tech to create one in realtime (IDK if we have games like this already).

I don't think they eat the people, because you saw the corpses of the shipmates, and they just simply decayed.

[@Alondro77]

It would have been more sensible had the propaganda not been so blatant. Give them a REASON to fear him, one more in line with actual werewolf lore, like he loses control during the complete transformation and goes berserk, showing the rather obvious fact that yes, HE'S EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS. Instead it's, "Oh look, the military is racist because they're scared of the furry!" I've seen fanfics do this exact thing SO MANY DAMNED TIMES, I'm really sick of it. It's very weak writing for the sake of the 'message'.

[@KingNicotine]

Alondro77 ...I couldn't agree more. Having given several good years of my life to the Marines I can say that the "racism" isn't as much about race as people would think. First and foremost comes attitude. There are some people that just need and attitude adjustment and nobody likes to deal with them. Hence...they catch a lot of flak. Secondly....probably most prevalent...discrimination between Marines has a lot to do with ones MOS. Infantry and anyone closely associated with infantry...we tend to stick together...and we tend to give a lot of flak to our POG brethren. Then...of course...there's the one group everyone loves to hate on. Boots. If you're a fresh face in the fleet and you don't have a bar on your collar....prepare for Hell.

[@wolfh91]

@@Alondro77 Then again, in many cases, discrimination and racism doesn't need a reason like fear. Sometimes, being different is enough. It's been a while since I watched the show but didn't the soldiers compare the werewolfs to dogs? IIRC the fear only came when the MC returned to the base after the fight, all battered up, with wounds a normal human would have died from twice.

…I think u guys miss the insinuating behind the story…in history after the invation war from westen contry which the old Chinese kingdom lost it，the emperor choose to give away states and cities freely for stopping the war and remain to be the emperor of whatever is left of China. In those days，westerns live in the land which old Chinese emperor give away，they did build new things shows chinese new tech like trains，phones，micro glasses， but in the same time，they made new rules，like chinese and dog are not allow to get in some place they built as a sign hang outside. if a Chinese and a westen get in an arguement，Chinese will have to pay or be punished. I am not a hater because of the history，it's just quite ironic to see today‘s people love asian story without knowing what it's really talking about. to me this story shows the old chinese culture fade away after the war，chinese learn new tech and knowledge ，evolve，it hope we could fight back when we were treated as slaves in our own home land but the truth is we mostly just forgot and move on

[@taylorwilde3125]

I feel like I read the ending of Sonnie's Edge totally differently, not that she suffers and is trapped in the body of a monster (as, given that they already moved her consciousness once, it is possible to move her consciousness into a human form) but that she has suffered and is stronger for it. Sonnie herself even says that all people see when they look at her is a victim, but she doesn't see herself that way; she uses her new form to fight for survival and to prove that she is no longer the prey, but a predator to be feared. Obviously that is just my take on it, it's always interesting to see what other people think. Re-watching the episode you can also see SO many little hints to the reveal. E.g. they don't swap the connection to the monster, they turn 'off' the connection to the human body; the lack of reaction of her human body in comparison to the heightened emotions of her competitor during the battle; her subtly closing the door of the locker that her human body is stored in when she meets the blonde girl in the truck...

[@darkpaw1522]

The Mystery of Aquila Rift is my personal favorite. It reminds me how life and reality in general is actually very subjective. Nothing matters. It all just means what we want. Intelligence, purpose, thought. It means nothing. We make reality what we want it to be. How we get it doesn't matter.

[@geraldcastellano1988]

What I really loved about the series is that the episodes can present you with an interesting idea and message that goes along with the overall story but it doesn't beat you over the head and shove it down your throat. Zima Blue, although not one of my favorites, does question what's important finding the unknown truths or enjoying the simplicity of what we already know. Beyond the Aquida Rift asked if you want the horrible truth or the beautiful lie. They give you the option to just see the stories or explore their meanings and that's really awesome to me.

In all honesty I wish some of the dialogue was omitted so we're left to wonder if, 1.) Sonnie was always the monster (her human form is quiet, and it would have been cool if her human shell died instantly without saying a word). 2.) Sonnie was once human, but transferred her consciousness into the beastie ever since the accident. 3.) Sonnie transfered her consciousness into the beastie once her human form was killed for good.

[@partsmob8663]

Yeah my interpretation is the Alien Hive-Mind gives them a false reality to keep them at peace while they're being used. Nefarious but not completely malevolent.

TheMatthew001 Yeah, but I think it’s because she was in the monster when she was attacked and her body was destroyed so she’s trapped in the monster. At least that’s what I got from it.

[@TheMatthew001]

Eliza Snow the reason I think she is the monster just using the human as a meat vessel is because of the beginning conversation and her “edge”. At the beginning they are offered a large sum of money for their monster, but they decline because the monster is “special” to them, because the monster is their friend. The other reason is the “I fight for my life”, when the other monster dies in the fight the guy controlling it is fine. I wouldn’t call that fighting for your life if when you die nothing happens. Now if she was the monster dying in the fight means she would be dead. There’s also a line after she’s attacked, saying how the girl was “already dead” or brain dead or something. Essentially she says that the body was meaningless as it wasn’t actually her. It’s all speculation, but I think it’s a better twist if she was the monster. Rather than just getting trapped in the monster.

@@TheMatthew001 there's o twist. She was trapped in the monster. They could save the body but it's just a vessel but it was originally her body. Her consciousness is just inside the monster. Plus they didn't offer them money for their monster. They're offered to lose the fight for a large sum of money. And the reason they declined is because she's inside the monster. For her it's not about revenge or pride. She's just simply fighting for her life.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING ZIMA BLUE FOR #1!!! PURE ART

[@howlingguardian9005]

I gotta say, Suits didn't feel like a twist to me. It just seemed obvious.

[@diegeticfridge9167]

In case ya didn’t know, netflixed used their recommended algorithm to make a personalized order of the episodes for each person. Sonnies edge was the 5th episode for me. It’s pretty cool to think about

Man this series has some of the BEST CGI I've ever seen. Truly

[@deadguy775]

I never thought of Suits as the farmers invading, I thought of it more as “why the hell did they settle there?” But that is an interesting twist

Lucky 13 is probably the most emotional one yet

I would watch an ENTIRE series based off of Sonnie's Edge. Why they haven't expanded on it, I'll never know.

[@benjaminmcvay9864]

3:47- “This (fictional CGI story) is really moving because it shows the discrimination (against werewolves)that still exists from many in the armed forces” 😂

[@chowrites6179]

This entire series was amazing to watch, even the funnier light-hearted ones, but its the episodes "Secret War", "Beyond the Aquila Rift", and "Shapeshifters" that left a lasting impression on me.

You didnt mention on of the colonialist symbolism and conotations in number 6 , modernality wasnt the true killer it was colonialism

[@spiderpsycho_8887]

Beyond the Acquila Rift and Zima Blue are both from a book called Zima Blue and a collection of short stories. A ton of really nice stories in there

[@chapasproject]

the zima blue reminds me of an old joke.... a millionaire is on a fishing vacation, and he sees an amazing fisherman... *millionaire* : hey why wont you use 2 rods.... *fisherman* : why would i do that? *millionaire* : you will make more money maybe even open a company, people will work for you. *fisherman* : i dont get it *millionaire* : what is your favorite thing in the whole world? *fisherman* : fishing! *millionaire* : see, if you work really hard and make lots of money. you could come here for a vacation like me and fish.

[@starbit5065]

Good Hunting is probably my favourite episode overall, but Zima Blue is without a doubt the most beautiful and thought-provoking story in terms of its message and symbolism.

[@n0tyouagain308]

I honestly hope LDR has another season of shorts, these were by far better than any movie I have watched

[@Solon1581]

[@TripleTSingt]

I love the approach of the debris in "Helping Hand". It seems slow… until we see the satellite rush closer. A great visualization of space and orbital mechanics.

[@chaossin7425]

Good hunting was my favorite, but there were a lot of great moments.

[@Valisk]

So great to see a Peter F Hamilton story from the Confederation universe on screen. Sonnie's Edge was a nice little short story - I just wish someone would take on the whole Night's Dawn trilogy. It would be brutal.

[@rutgerhauser2377]

I didn't realize that was what sonnies edge was. I thought that sonnie was always the monster and that it made a realistic backstory to move around in human society with an explanation as to why she was antisocial.

[@ArawnsFire]

Fun Fact: In Fish Night the younger salesman is not eaten by a shark, but by a Dunkleosteus, a member of an extinct family of ancient armored fishes called Placoderms that swam Devonian seas 400 million years ago.

[@rowanvincent5762]

Echoing a lot of comments here, but how are you gonna talk about the most powerful moments of LD+R and not include the final stand in Secret War? Some of the most vicious, visceral animation and cinematography I've ever seen. Incredible episode.

[@MrDestroyerPrime]

Most of these shorts were pretty great with some exceptionally great like 3 robots. However. . . Suits is just on a different level all together. Honestly I just want more!!! (probably as close as we'll get to a StarCraft Movie).

[@quinnvanasco1507]

My favorite part about shapeshifters is that the MC found the Taliban werewolf while they were in the shantytown, but he decided not to say anything because he wanted to get revenge for his comrade.
