I love the actress and the show had some nice looking locations but I am left very unimpressed and weirded out by the strange celebratory storytelling in something fictional. What do people find so great about it?
Not based on a true story
>not based on a true story
Since when have women achieved anything like this in any sport that isn't all wammyn?
we need more movies based on true stories
Sorry OP you fell into the usual trap set up by the JEWS
>I love the actress
Why? This FAS bitch can't even act, you just want to rub your smelly nerd cock on her pussy.
fuckin chad
lol the movie is just a self insert of the roastie audience who delude themselves that women do not have an easy life surrounded by hundred of men desperate to compete for them.
lmao
>still plays out like biopic with characters constantly talking about how amazing she is and pointing out how she's the only female to come this far
How does this mean it "plays out like biopic"? Is The Dark Knight a biopic just because the mooks are afraid of Batman and recognize his skill?
Jesus Christ
JARMON, JARMON
>NOOOO, A TV SHOW CAN'T HAVE WOMEN BE GOOD AT SOMETHING! THIS HURTS MY SENSITIVE MASCULINITY!
FUCKING KEK
It'd be more believable if the show was about a baking contest.
>chess games just consist of mentioning a few moves while a montage plays
Well honestly, how the fuck else do you want them to do it? You want them to show an eight hour championship-level game in explicit detail and expect the audience to follow along? You sound like a genuine faggot
Humina humina
Because often times in biopics you can't show very easily what great feats they are performing so you have to have characters talk about how great they are while showing nothing interesting actually happening. This isn't very good storytelling, but if it's a biopic you at least know it really happened so you can get into the groove of something like a documentary where you get pumped just hearing other legends from that type in whatever it's about lauding them. Imagine if you watched batman and you only heard the baddies talk about how scary he is but you never got to see it.
its cultural appropriation for women to be good at things.
>WOMAN CAN'T BE GOOD AT THINGS! WOMAN BELONG IN KITCHEN! WOMAN MAKE ME CAKE AND PIZZA ROLLS
You can see it holding back the desire to tear all those women's limbs off
Everybody loves a drunk struggling genius.
Maybe choose a subject which can be translated to the big screen well?
>WOMAN CAN'T BE GOOD AT THINGS! WOMAN BELONG IN KITCHEN! WOMAN MAKE ME CAKE AND PIZZA ROLLS
>based janitor who has triple the screentime of black chick and triple emotional attachment and build up gets killed offscreen in favor of listening to chick ramble about why she married a rich white guy and became a lawyer and how she does it because she doesn't want to teach white kids play badminton as if there's an overabundance of PE teachers teaching in black neighborhoods
Everybody loves the show, it's enormously popular, and it re-ignited a mainstream interest in chess. Cope more fag boy
WOMEN HUMANS BAD!
>reignited interest in chess
imagine unironically posting this
Why is this the only way you guys can communicate?
you wouldn't understand it any other way
This, but unironically.
>Polgár is the only woman to have won a game against a reigning world number one player, and has defeated eleven current or former world champions in either rapid or classical chess: Magnus Carlsen, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Kramnik, Boris Spassky, Vasily Smyslov, Veselin Topalov, Viswanathan Anand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Alexander Khalifman, and Rustam Kasimdzhanov.[5]
I guess real life figures just aren't good enough for hollywood
>a ficitonal woman is the only woman who came this far
sounds right
women are just not that autistic in real life, so they couldn't base it on a human
it's a fun, little shonen-like story arc
it's neither great nor abysmal.
why has thinking stagnated to superlatives.
If this wasn't true then the show would be based on a true story and not need to make things up.
>during her journey she befriends all types of minorities, a trans person who somehow is allowed to teach children in the 60s, a gay guy, a black woman who can only talk about race every five seconds and is just the most unimaginitive stereotype
Good things to know. I was thinking of giving the show a try, but now I can completely skip it with no regrets.
well yeah, it's like a 6.5, but it's enormously popular, if it was received as such here and elsewhere then I wouldn't care, but friends irl and online are saying it's so damn great and I just don't see it. It was comfy, but it really just petered out the last two episodes and didn't manage to build any excitement or stick the landing.
You know that guy isn't the only one who cared about you I bought magazines for you too
>Its your fault I throw vague bitchy tantrums as my sole means of communication
Why are you dumb faggots all like this?
Didn't she fuck a nigger too
