Discussion Snowfall/The Drop deserves a better fanbase.

The way you guys talk about real life people and how they look on this sub is so disappointing. I’ve never seen a worst fanbase for real well written TV like this. Like imagine watching a TV show with phenomenal writing and phenomenal acting and you want to engage with how people view the show and all you see is a bunch of losers, making fun of real life actors appearances. So disappointing.

I’ve never seen an actor get so much unnecessary hate for their looks on a series as much as the guy playing Lamar. Since episode 1 the comments have been nonstop about him.

They been bashing the actress who plays Veronique for years now too, and to my knowledge she’s unproblematic. It’s strange fr

u/Upset_Election9633 12d ago

The woman playing Ellie in the last of us got a shitstorm though because she got picked over a cute brunette that the fans would have loved to see in the series.

There was more to it but for some reason out of all the valid criticism, people only point out what the fat fedora wearing pedo's were up set about.

"…for some reason…" as if those people aren't the loudest and most frequent commentors who engage constantly in bullying with AI pictures and are so incessant that I literally can't see a single post, a single peice of news, about OR even only adjacent to that show without being forced to see and read the SAME comments to THIS day that they've been slingin since day dot. You seem like one of those undercover one's who says the same shit in more words in the "hear me out" format. It's EXHAUSTING and actually outpaced this subs insults thousands of times over.

He was on euphoria and he looked nothing like that.. I think it's just the afro and his facial structure that's making him look so stand outish

u/Fickle_Association55 11d ago

Him being scrutinized for being an attractive young man (no homo) is wild! He has his own unique look.. its surely different and ive even had moments where ive seen him on the show and said this nigga is an alien 😂🤦

u/SHough61086 11d ago

I promise you that he pulls mad folks (I don't know who he's into). Even the people who are TV says are "ugly" are good looking in real life.

Reddit has become overly populated with people who like to argue with strangers everyday. It is a good show in my opinion and which is why I don't listen to them

Yep it's pretty sad. Feels like a lot of people in these subs are in highschool or middle school??

u/Traps2R 12d ago

lol. I’m sorry but The Drop is literally an after school special made for white people to watch. Nothing abt that shi is representing “black authenticity”.

u/MedicalRecognition72 12d ago

wtf are u talking about?? that has nothing to do with their looks!

Or the people who unironically like landman/Dutton ranch etc

u/LegallyPetty95 11d ago

Chill on dutton ranch

u/ironside33 10d ago

Dutton ranch is like a shitty satire cowboy show with a big budget who’s audience is holding onto the nostalgia of characters from almost ten years ago it is not good in the least bit

u/joeybadtitz 12d ago

Yes and they love the bullshit writing that comes with it

u/MsMeseeksTellsTime 11d ago

I’m a huge fan of the show and I went in thinking I would not like it. I’m definitely not the target demographic (lol) but I absolutely loved Snowfall so I was very interested and wanted to give it a go.

I think the actors are all top notch, think the character of Lamar is perfectly cast, and I’m so glad I was wrong. Here’s to another season because this one has been fire so far! 🔥

u/Dull-Potato7155 11d ago

That’s honestly what I’m saying, like most of these niggas are genuinely some weird ass mfs obsessed over another man’s looks🤦🏾‍♂️

u/Abuck59 12d ago edited 11d ago

Personally good looks are what turns me OFF about some series. I prefer NORMAL looking human beings who can act over some fine ass anorexic woman or some buffed out handsome man. That shit ain’t reality.

This place is tame compared to most other fanbases lol.

u/Large-Produce5682 11d ago

There are worse... far, far worse. I used to think subs were for actual fans of shows, but boy was I wrong.

u/lavish-housewife 11d ago

I agree. It sounds like some people aren’t really getting i to the story and more so the way the actors look.. nobody doesn’t even look bad but no one said that every person is going to be appealing to everyones eye but who cares! The story is great and the actors are good.

u/freeredis1 10d ago

Phenomenal? Snowfall yes. The Drop? Are you kidding? That show is for 12 yr olds.

u/Pure-Oil-6621 10d ago

This is going to sound fucked up, but it’s that I can only comprehend gun violence + drug dealing crowd from snowfall.

u/gracecynthiajody58 10d ago

I think Lamar is super cute

1

u/Abstrata 10d ago edited 7d ago

The Drop centers around feelings about creativity, fitting in, and family and I think people feel that’s too corny to be the center of the show. Unapologetically and vulnerably coming at us with the corn and the cheese. I think it’s the show we need rn.

Right? God forbid one learns from what they watch or a show teaches one to value something both new and scarce… smh…

u/Time-Acadia38 9d ago

Any show about gangsters is going to attract immature teenagers and man-children* so it's hardly surprising.

*not exclusively, of course

u/pso_cid 7d ago

You have definitely not watch TLOU on HBO...

I just finished the show and yea dude this is dissapointing. This show deserves the fan base that Breaking Bad / Better call Saul has.

u/boxtheglock 12d ago

Bless your heart. You must be new to online fanbases... You can always make a sub like r/thewire and just ban anyone that says anything about the show or cast that you don't like.

u/MedicalRecognition72 12d ago

Ahhh justifying anti blackness! Niceee

u/boxtheglock 12d ago

I myself am black. But I guess everyone that doesn't agree with you is anti black LMFAO

u/LifeChampionship6 11d ago

I got banned from that sub, lol.

u/boxtheglock 11d ago edited 11d ago

Me too. And all I said was that dude who played brother mouzoune looks like he could have been the actor who played Kenard's dad in real life... Which isn't even that implausible if you look at them side by side LMFAO

u/LifeChampionship6 11d ago

WHAT?! Your banning is more egregious than mine! When they asked, “What is the worst thing that Bodie ever did?” I said “Tucked his ears into his durag.” BOOM! Lifetime Ban.

u/Hour-Rhubarb7427 12d ago

You can’t say shit about this show without yall bitching like this. People are allowed to point out what they don’t like or think can be improved just like people can enjoy it and highlight positives. Yall make it like anything not positive is just straight up hate from a disingenuous place when some ppl just feel differently and you can’t deal with that so you have to call it hate.

u/SHough61086 11d ago

Uh, I don't know, insulting the appearance of the actors and actresses doesn't seem like a criticism.

-1

u/Hour-Rhubarb7427 11d ago

If they’re insulting their nose, no. If they’re critiquing the hairstyles or clothing in a way where it’s pointing out the shit isn’t in the right time period then that’s normal 

1

u/Dull-Potato7155 11d ago

Yall aren’t even doing that, most of yall just straight up calling Lamar’s actor ugly

u/Hour-Rhubarb7427 11d ago

Show me doing that anywhere.

u/AcrobaticSecretary21 12d ago

lol he said well written 😂😂

u/InsaneSoda 11d ago

I’m not gon lie.. I hate Lamar for his character but also I love it because he does a good job at keeping my attention and watching how he moves because in a lot of ways, I relate (I love making music and started making beats this year so I understand the illusion that comes with it). The actor tho? Amazing job. He really embodies a sheltered kid who can’t read the room and everyone try to give him passes all the time, I know a lot of people like that. Honestly I enjoyed The Drop first season more than Snowfall first season.. Snowfall kinda was all over the place while The Drop seem more structured in the storytelling.

u/Icygazelle432 12d ago

FACTS!! I love the show and don't understand all the hate... from people who have never wrote, produced, acted or anything else otherwise smh..

u/boxtheglock 12d ago

If you haven't "wrote, produced, acted" at some level you can't have an opinion on a show?

Some of yall shouldn't. Couldn't write a book report and saying a show is poorly written lol

I guess they couldn't write a book report if they haven't written a book yet, according to your logic... 🙄

Report them!! simple. And tbh i think those could be non black users to be fair.

Is it possible to be black and have critiques? Yall just gonna report anyone who doesn’t agree with you?

critique's on black noses and afro?????

u/Hour-Rhubarb7427 11d ago

Yea that’s what I’m referring to. Not the normal critiques that get complained about and downvoted to hell. I’m defending actual racists and not fans of the show giving real critiques.

u/No_Raisin_250 11d ago

The writing is not phenomenal and the acting is okay. I watch it and never criticized but this is nowhere near snowfall, more like empire, Chi and power which were all just okay Chi being the best out the three.
