What a bitch
How is it even possible to get filtered by The Pacific? Are you mentally retarded?
why do plebs hate the Pacific?
because it's not romantic like the Western European theater
They think it’s hard to follow and you can’t get close to characters because everyone dies.
Also, the Jews dont give a shit, so it gets less attention and love than the European theater.
All that being said, and I say this as a Marine, Band of Brothers is the better of the two.
It's too evocative of Vietnam in setting and enemy for it to "feel" like WW2 media and it makes plebs uncomfortable.
because it sucks
that's all there's to it really
Mowing down hordes of Japanese bugmen is less engaging than overcoming the might of Nazi supermen
I like this Pacific. I just think Sledge is a bitch
For me it's an issue of pacing. BoB starts off very strong and has a few weak episodes, but even those are pretty good. Pacific is at its weakest in the first three eps, but gets better as it goes along, and I'd say its strongest moments surpasses BoB.

HANDBANANA NO
He went from a sense of shame. His brother and his best friend both volunteer. He wasn’t a warrior by nature, he became a professor and studied birds or some shit after the war.
Honorably did his duty. His arc is taken from his memoir, the only part that’s bullshit is the train ride home. He was stationed in China after the war.
>Whine and bitch about how bad war is the whole time
that was leckie, faggot. did you even watch the series?
leckie isnt an interesting character. basilone is a pretty one dimensional character. sledgehammer is the only worth-wild character in the whole series.
sledgehammer>GK=BoB>>>>>rest of the Pacific
Say it with me now:
TWO NUKES WEREN'T ENOUGH
I don't hate it but I don't love it. Standalone it would be really good, but everyone compares it to Band of Brothers by default. BoB was pretty much a masterpiece so the Pacific was already fucked before they began making it. None of the characters really connect with each other like in BoB. Sledge is a bit of an emo and Basilone has that fucking godawful romance storyline. Leckey is cool but he also has some shitty romance storyline. Overall characters and setpieces just weren't as good as BoB.
dont really now, it was good, but they probably were expecting band of brothers season 1 kino.
he's not saying they weren't deadly, retard, he's saying they were boring antagonists
>nazi supermen
kys wehraboo
The setting was crap and the characters were crap.
All the people who defend the pacific are cancer. Closest shit you get to an argument about why it isn't shit is "the war was shit so the show should be too".
>The setting was crap
C'mon now. Island warfare is aesthetic as fuck.
oh yeah watching men piss and shit themselves in the pouring rain while wanting to die sure is aesthetic
Damn straight.
Weren’t they making a third WW2 mini-series? Whatever happened to it?
I skip Basilone episodes, or scenes, I forget how the show is broken up
Leckie has his moments
Sledgehammer was a great character and storyline
BoB is just over romanticized and silly never can quite get into it
you can't tell a story of three different people in three different regiments over a timespan of three years in 10 episodes.
band of brothers for comparison tells the story of just one regiment over a timespan of about one year.
Spielberg said it will be produced by Appleflix now
I used to think Vietnam was this big horrible war. Then I find out that now more people have died from Covid 19 than in the war.
So this is our generation's vietnam and... I'm not exactly scarred for life? were the Vietnam War faggots just fucking pussies
Spielberg was scouting locations last year, I don't know if they began shooting anything before covid hit, but expect productions to be jammed up for a while. I
Remember when you were younger and you'd smoke a joint? BRO, I'M SO FUCKED UP! Bro. Bro. Bro. I am high. Then you got some pussy and you were like, "I gonna coooommmmm!" I bet it's the same with war. I hope I don't fucking die today. If I die it's going to fucking suck and my mom is gonna be pissed.
The Eastern Front was a holiday compared to the Pacific.
It just looks really cheap compared to BoB or even GK.
