I tried the North Water after people told me it was the real Terror season 2
it was 90% a "mystery" about how a big gay faggot raped a boy in the ass which everyone could have figured out instantly

You only like it because of the homosexual themes.

The North Water is too tryhard, aimless, the acting is all over the fucking place, and the story is boring and the payout, mediocre. The only good thing about it is that the decision to shoot on location definitely makes it feel real and authentic. The characters act and feel like they're where they are. In The Terror, it feels waaaaay too clean/crisp, and the soundstage is definitely too obvious. But its a gorillion times better than TNW in every other aspect

I yearn for the Northwest Passage.

Why are eskimo women so ugly? South Pacific Island women can be really beautiful, and so can American Redwomen. Eskimos are entirely hideous. The only oter people I know like that are Australian abbos. I've never seen an attractive female Eskimo or abbo.

You select for durable in a frozen environment. Life genuinely doesn't get harder then a tundra so you don't get to get distracted by attractive you only get usable.
There's a reason you don't get a flood of diversity in the worst conditions on Earth, the environment doesn't let you play those kind of "I only eat ______ that appears once every ____ months and only if it's a half crescent moon." bullshit that you get from places that are actually habitable.

Watched this for tge first time recently and really enjoyed it. I like believing the reason Tuunbaq died was because he ate a faggot. Makes the most sense to me.

I don’t think the bear is even called a “bear” in the novel. It’s a monster, a force of nature, too big and impossibly strong, and an actual supernatural entity.
Do pseuds actually bitch about the bear?

Good idea but the way the special effects were executed just made it look bad. I like the concept of a demonic human bear entity hunting them down. Twisting a human into an eerie uncanny monster that feels unnatural and in-between states is a good reflection of what the tainted food was slowly doing to the crew. I'm sure in book it really works, but the final result for TV just feels off.
Should've stuck with a big polar bear like the original painting theorized

this, the bit where the guy went under the water to unjam the ships propeller was genuinely spooky, once the bear thing showed up it was just like a wet fart

I'm still a bit confused on their intial sailing plan. Like the Sir John and his staff haven't been to the Arctic before. They have Crozier and he knows his shit but they mock him instead of heeding his warnings. I feel like the possibility of stopping and turning around to winter somewhere safer like Crozier advised should have been in the plan from the start. They just acted like "nah nah, these ships are super advanced, nothing can stop them, we won't encounter anything that can be a problem". I feel like in their plan it should have said "if you encounter this type of pack ice, at this time of year, you need to turn around" or whatever Crozier was saying

>>217774695
It makes more sense when you see the maps they were working with.
Explorers before them had come from both the east, south, and the west, meticulously mapping out and charting the area.
When put together back in London, it was clear that there was only a few hundred miles of uncharted water left to "complete" the passage.

I feel bad for Mr. Hickey. He just wanted a different life. He thought he was doing a good job as a sailor and thought people liked him. Only to discover people thought he was a loser, drinking with Crozier was nothing, the things he thought were good were wrong, and he was somehow being disrespectful to people but still didn't understand who or how. I'd snap too if everyone was against me like that and they'd led me into a quagmire where we will all soon starve and freeze.

He specifically has. The show says he wasn't the admiralty's first choice but he has arctic experience.

At least in the show it seems like they probably could have made it just waiting out the cold after some bad luck, but they got screwed over by the food preserve corporation being evil cheap bastards and poisoning the entire crew. But then the real life ships got stuck and killed off so who knows.

Drax wouldn't fall for any of Hickey's bullshit, guys like him were ruthless. I love The Terror but it's quite fantastical, dudes like Drax really existed and were every bit the cutthroat he was.
Hickey sort of gets away with way too much shit, he'd have simply been hanged or shot both in the book and the show.
A guy like Drax is way more dangerous and more effective at manipulating people.

Terror is still the better show though, although NW isn't bad by any means

>>217781753
I only read his one book that's a knockoff of It, except Pennywise is a shitty old truck and a WW1 soldier chasing the kids around town.

>>217783808
good actor, but he was a bit insufferable to watch. Much more fun characters in this show. Hell Hickey was more fun to watch, and of course Crozier. Brutus too.

fag. It doesn't have quite the production value of The Terror, but Farrell's villain turn is great, and the protag etc do a good job too, and everything else in the show is more than adequate. Only good criticism of it I see is that its prod value isn't as high as possible.

he's the main guy from Manhattan which i thought was a pretty good low budget show and he was good in it

>>217784314
Drax was terrifyingly manipulative in a way Hickey just wasn't. Hickey fancied himself a great schemer, but really he just got "lucky" with the mutiny. Tozier told him at one point he'd gladly toss him to the Tuunbaq, and that was before the mutiny. No one ever really trusted him, they just went along with it out of desperation.
Drax was way more efficient at getting what he wanted. He involved himself with pretty much every crew member, they trusted him enough to pull scams with them, from robbing the doctor after he's drunk to plotting sabotage. Even when the captain suspected him, he lets his guard down, and Drax clubs him over the head so hard he dies later.
Between the two Drax was a lot more terrifying.

imagine being a fag in an era before proper hygiene

no wonder Hickey was fucking crazy

>the history of the two actual ships

The Terror was one of the bombers in the Battle of Baltimore when they bombed Fort McHenry which was where Francis Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner based on the bombardment they were facing.

The rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air might just as well have been fired from that ship.

>>217784175
Didn't mean he had been knighted, but he's a legit great actor, one of the best of his generation -- he should be.

>>217769377

>>217769350
>the location of the shipwrecks ended up being quite accurate
I love the fact that Terror was found around the time the show was announced and in Terror Bay, which was only named by chance to commemorate the ship but people never thought it was there, in fact it turned out to be hundreds of miles from where they always expected it to be.

>>217770217
>Manbearpig was great
I'm biased because I read the book where they used Tuunbaq much more sparringly yet he's way more scary and mysterious.
The shows approach to making him some plump big angry bear who comes around and mauls a couple of guys like the shark in jaws was really sloppy compared to how it behaves in the book.
On top of that in the book the Tuunbaq is not even the biggest threat, it's just one of the many things that the crew have to face and fear.
The show was too focused on being le big scary monsterino which took away from so many other factors that killed the guys. I highly recommend reading the book, it will make you want to get up and put on a coat at times.

dan simmons is pretty good as far as scifi/horror goes

>>217771001
It's literally a god from Inuit folklore who was banished to wander the icy wastes for eternity and protect it from outsiders after losing a battle, Crozier has a vision of it during a fever dream at the end of the book when Lady Silence is taking care of him in their igloo.

>>217785195
Yeah, they are kikeslop.

>>217784494
good points. Didn't think about how Drax was quietly "in" with most everyone he needed to be with, and was effectively and realistically manipulative.

>>217773209
literally how it is used in the book.
hell, at one point it appears out of nowhere in the water when one group tries to get away on a boat and kills them all. It is handled way more mysteriously and subtle in the book.

>>217763525
the scene of the camp trial followed by the creatures sotrming it was pure action kino.

>>217774695
>the Sir John and his staff haven't been to the Arctic before
nigga, Franklin was an arctic veteran. He had already lead expeditions and had spent years frozen in the ice up there before.
His nickname was "the man who ate his boots" back in England because during a particularly gnarly expedition where they lost tons of men they ended up cooking the leather from their shoes to not starve.
He wasn't the first choice because he was old and didn't want to go himself, but eventually being a nobleman his quest for honor and fame got the better of him and he accepted.
Crozier was very experienced but the book makes him out to be much more capable since he's the protag but in reality nobody on the expedition was more experienced and suited for command like Franklin.
It was just that their whole trip was doomed from the start just like any other big expedition. Amundsen proved later that big ships would never have made it despite how well provisioned or capable their crews would have been.

>>217785443
It was pretty obvious that John didn't learn anything from his experiences in the Arctic since he fucked up everything and still thought he was the smarter one. If he was that good in Arctic expedition he wouldn't have to eat his boots while he walked back from the Arctic sea through Canada to save himself.

>who actually reads this slop literature?
Simmons went full autism in the book. Out of the 1000 pages at least 300 are him veering off from the narrative to explain some interesting facts about history, ships or naval customs of the time period. It's quite educational outside of the fictional story elements, if you're into arctic exploration it's a very interesting read for that alone.

I need a prequel about one of his expeditions with him as one of the leads

>>217785497
he was that good because he made it out alive, do you even know what the fuck you're talking about?
we're talking 200 years ago in a part of the world that was completely unmapped, undiscovered and as brutal to be in as the top of mount everest but you can't climb down to safety. Him making it out alive out of several expeditions in there was actually quite an achievement. Nowadays losing men is a tragedy, back then it was expected and factored in just like how they accepted they might be stuck in ice for year before even stepping foot on the ship.

>>217785684
Yeah, and he was the one who insisted on staying in the frozen ship instead of going back early which means he didn't learn anything and most likely luckshitted his way out of the early expeditions which is pretty much confirmed by the pegleg guy.

>>217776771
>Xenophon Anabasis
I'm gonna read this anon. It better be based or I'm gonna make an angry thread full of soipics at you.

>>217785716
I mean, we know what happened in his previous expeditions, he was based, no doubt about it.

>>217785716
They had food for like 2 years, being stuck longer than that was unheard of

>>217785716
>luckshitted his way out of the early expeditions
how about you read up on it then? his account of the coppermine expedition was a best seller during his time and the reason Roald Amundsen wanted to become a polar explorer when he read it in his youth.

>he was the one who insisted on staying in the frozen ship
that is literally what every expedition did, it was standard procedure to wait the winter out in the ice, how is it his fault? not like traveling two thousand miles over King William island where nothing grows was some viable alternative, the men ended up doing it out of desperation but they would have never made it even if they had been at peak health.

they should have kept the historical horror vanishings instead of the japanese internment camp shit they did in season 2 if they wanted to do an anthology

>>217785141
The way Tuunbaq was described in the book gave me a way different image than how it's depicted in the TV show. My mental image of it was terrifying compared to it being a modified polar bear. Also I wish they made Lady Silence into a young exiled badass girlwoman who survives on her own like in the book. But I guess retards would complain about Crozier being a pedo.

This stuck with me for years because in the book he describes the feeling as wetter than water. Made little virgin me very curious about what he meant back then.

There is some melodrama, but its mostly guys with plans trying stuff, and they stick to the chain of command pretty much up until the very end which is very nice.

When I first watched the first couple of episodes I absolutely expected this thing to be some kind of serpent for some reason, probably because of the scenes where people were under dark icy water and I knew there was a monster so I thought it would be there
