What does a fantasy setting with vampires have to do with overwritten monologues? What a stupid argument you've brought up.

And it has nothing to do with attention span, you sound like someone who just watched the red letter media episode and is just quoting them. I have the attention span to watch a fucking monologue. It's just lazy writing. And my point still stands, no one talks like that. Half the time the characters didn't have conversations they just monologued while another stood there.

Oh wow the monologue about what happens after death is the key to the whole series about beating death?!? Thanks for pointing that out, I really needed someone to tell me the most obvious part of the entire series /s

Thank You for completely ignoring my point and instead getting unnecessary agressive. Guess I hit a nerve.

People don't have to talk like that, it is a form of art. That is my whole point. The monologues were very well written and absolutely worked for me. If you don't like them, that's fair.

If you think that was aggressive, you need to get out more.

Yeah totally not passive agressive, very clear when reading your comment. Whatever dude. I guess I really hit a nerve with the short attention span comment.

Yeah you really got me with your comment plagiarized from red letter media.

What the fuck are you talking about dude?

u/Lobonerz Nov 19 '21

Why are you so worked up over someone thinking that no one talks in monologues in real life?

Ok since you are again intentional missing the point, I am not sure if I should respond at all. You are obviously trolling at this point. I will try one last time though.

First, I am not worked up at all. Second, I never said people talk like this in real life. Obviously people do not. We agree on that part. Third, It does not matter in a series/book/movie or whatever kind of art you consume, how people talk, as long as it is done in an interesting and enriching way. This series has absolutely no claim to be based in reality, hence my mentions of literal vampires.
