ProfessionalClown 10,640 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Am I the only one who has truly loved every single episode so far? The episodes are just getting better and better with every episode. I think ep 2 and 4 are my favorites so far but they’re all really well done. I don’t think they’re supposed to be completely horrifying but more like tales from the crypt where it’s campy but still creepy af Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously disappointed and concerned: as a die hard horror fan I've always found something to enjoy or to save even in AHS' worst seasons. This one is simply a mess: the first two episodes look like a lame reboot of the murder house trope and they don't actually explain **** about that damn rubber suit. I liked about three scenes and called out every "twist" five minutes before it happened. Then, the third episode had a better story but that was all: it's a ripoff of Demons, Anguish and Cigarette Burns by John Carpenter (all of those films are at least well executed in their "movie influencing audience" development), the actors were awful (yes, even Naomi Grossman and that fake scissors-in-eye prop that shows her closed eye beneath the prosthetic piece) and the direction of every episode looked very flat. At least AHS, even at its lowest point, had some cool camera work. Then I'm going to say a thing you will all hate, so I apologize in advantage but I've got to say this: we all got that Ryan Murphy is gay. Stop remarking it in every episode of every show adding stereotypical gay characters who end up being annoying or gratuitous just for the sake of the "look I'm inclusive, accepting and fighting for equality" thing. It's becoming tired and awkward. I'm not saying that he shouldn't include gay characters and all, but at least make them enjoyable or deep enough to root for them, not a bunch of badly written gay couples with a clichéd lesbian daughter and a "don't fear the ****!" femme guy acting like in a campy school play. And don't get me started on the lame "I googled it" "4chan says that", whatsapp emojis and Kim Petras in the soundtrack: we can see the main characters are shallow teenagers, don't shove it down our throats like that. I'm still looking forward for the next episodes, especially the Ba'al and the Christmas ones, but these three were terrible. Geez. Sorry, I got triggered too much because I love good horror and they all butchered good premises with this series. So I agree with a lot of what you said especially the RM obligatory gay plots or characters. I watch AHS with my mom and THAT was an experience I actually enjoyed ep 3 a lot more than the first two. Like a lot! But then I saw ep 4 discord.gg/hausofdelulu The #1 Discord for Delusional Little Monsters! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling 31,072 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Soooo, I have a lot of thoughts on this show as I just watched all the seasons and (i think) fully understand most of the AHS world. I thought AHStories was going to be AHS settings with new stories (based on ep1+2) Ep 1+2 were C R I N G E ! I cannot tell you how many times I wanted turn it off but I've learned with RM you have to sit through uncomfortable or boring times for a big payoff. Not for these two. Forced gay storyline, bad writing, bad acting, BUT I definitely see what they were trying to do and it was kind of a cool addition. I think it took away from the mystique of Murder House. It's almost as if they were attempting to revive interest in previous seasons by putting a Gen Z lens on the show. Clearly didn't work Ep3 I actually really enjoyed and I thought, ok, RM is doing this show so more young BIPOC and LGBTQ+ actors can get exposure. That's great. This episode is the best so far, obviously. Ep4 I just.....there's.....not much I can't really say. It was just awful. The only redeemable quality was the literal end. Hot guys maybe? This just goes to show that RM is still very hit and miss. I'm also very disappointed that the gay storylines have come to feel more like "queer baiting" or something and are just there to rub it in people's faces. I'm gay and I was cringing all the way through ep1+2. It was so bad.... As it's been said before, I miss when there was purposeful gay storylines like season 1 + 2, season 4 had a gay twist, season 5 had LIZ TAYLOR The gay storylines in Cult, Apocalypse, and 1984 were CRINGE, like are you trying to make us unlikeable wtf.

I’d say watch it because the premise of it is fun, other than that really expect a typical horror story type of episode so your expectations low I took your advice but yeah, it wasn't great watching. What about ep 4? (Yes, this will be a weekly tag now ) The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
