Anyone watching Love, Death + Robots?
Just saw episode 1 season 3 and watched in stunned amusement. Some dialogue:
1 [opening theme music playing.]
[electronic warbling.]
[suspenseful music playing.]
[deep rumbling.]
[dramatic music playing.]
Oh, jeez.
You landed us in a minefield.
Oh, barely! Besides, look at these mines, they're ancient.
- They probably won't even go off anymore.
- [clicking.]
[screaming, gasping.]
[jazzy music playing.]
I'm sure that was the last of 'em.
Come on! We've got science to do! [robot 1.]
Yes.
An in-depth survey of post-apocalyptic humanity could uncover important insights for our nascent machine culture on how to survive.
Right, or blow our shiny butts into scrap metal.
[camera shutter clicking.]
Ugh.
[mine clicking.]
[explosion.]
[country music playing.]
[crows cawing.]
Why did they call 'em survivalist camps if they're just full of dead people? - Seems like false advertising to me.
- [robot 2.]
I know, right? And, according to my thorough historical research, "Why-key-pedia," these guys were actually looking forward to the collapse of civilization.
[robot 1.]
Humans thought that with freedom from government-sponsored medical attention and enough bullets and venison jerky, they could found a utopian society.
Well, I can definitely see all the bullets, but where's the venison? [robot 1.]
Humans hunted deer to extinction, along with every other animal larger than a cat.
Yeah.
Humans were snackish.
Oh! [robot 1.]
Then they began raiding each other's encampments.
They're not aiming out the windows because the deer were coming for revenge.
[robot 2.]
You guys, you guys, you guys, you guys! I found a blood pit! [robot 1.]
It's not a blood pit.
It's just a primitive booby trap.
Well, maybe now, but these bodies did have blood in them at one point and their skin was pierced by spikes, trickle, trickle, trickle, times a bunch of bodies, hence blood pit.
[birds warbling.]
[robot 1.]
Fine, it's a blood pit.
These dudes, they made it through a minefield, a bunch of barbed wire, cousins with guns, only to become survivalist cult kebabs? [robot 1.]
At least they died free of governmental constraint.
On a spike.
On two spikes in that guy's case.
So, the whole of humanity tried to make it through the end of civilization with guns and spikes? [chuckling.]
No, of course not.
Just the poor ones.
