We stand for Sol
We stand against false gods.
Best show <3
Carter did blow up a sun...
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!
Now Rodney who fired up that unstable energy chamber again after it had already fried one guy on the other hand…
they named an asteroid after apophis, because the astronomers were fans of the show, and yes its also egyptian mythos irl.
That looks kinda like the guy who played Ragnar in "Vikings."
(cautiously checks for weird things like too many fingers, armor features that make nonsense, or other visual anomalies before cautiously asking...)
What's this from?
It looks pretty rad.
Raised by wolfs
Appreciate it, thanks! :D
I think this is from Raised by Wolves, which is a wacky ass scifi thing.
Much appreciated! Have always loved wacky ass sci-fi things! :D
Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.
I’m still upset that this was canceled.
What is this show?
It’s called Raised By Wolves. It was on HBO Max before Zaslov took over. He scrapped it completely and pulled it off the platform. I think it’s on one of those free ad-supported channels now.
The show is produced by Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions .
It’s quite hard to describe. At its core, it’s a sci-fi series focused on a couple of androids who are sent to raise human kids on another planet when Earth is destroyed by a religious war.
Beyond that, it’s like someone took LSD before writing the weirdest sci-fi shit they could think of. I mean like:
Tap for spoiler
androids giving birth to flying snakes, acid aliens storing babies in their chest cavity, and people turning into treesI don’t even know how to describe it without spoilers because it’s so wild. I absolutely loved it.
As someone who did watch it on acid, fully agreed. I had to rewatch it sober because I thought the whole show had been a fever dream. It was even trippier sober.
Okay I think I might have watched the first episode or I watch at least the preview for it and it was one of those shows that I wanted to watch but I've got so many that it just hasn't gone to that point yet. Guess I'm going to have to dig that out here soon.
Do give it a watch but don’t rush. They cancelled the show before ending it so it’s very unsatisfying.
I had watched the first half of the first episode and then got called away for something and didnt go back until about a year later when people recommended it. I restarted the episode and almost stopped again but then the ending just went off the rails and I got much more interested
I liked the first 80% of the first season, and stopped watching halfway into S02E01. Is it worth continuing? Do we get any answers? Are they satisfying?
No. The show is cancelled before they wrap up anything.
Personally, I’d still watch it anyway because the show is so goddamn weird you can’t find anything like it anywhere else.
For anyone reading who hasn’t seen it, I would describe it as the most metal (🤘) show I’ve ever seen.
ALright, thanks for the recommendation :) And yeah, "weird" and "metal" are good descriptions. Additionally, the backstory we got in S1 was definitely "fire".
Could anyone please name the show? Ppl in the know keep referring to it as the show but could the oblivious ones get into the inner circle as well, please?
Raised By Wolves
Thank you
I thought these were Whitecloaks from WoT at first and then my dumbass was like "no, Whitecloaks have golden sunbursts on the chest of their uniforms, not red. Wait, what about The Hand Of the Light? No, that's crimson shepherd's crooks, not sunbursts"
That continued for a while before I noticed their fucking guns
