This video is about the Bitten 2014 TV series
The Best from the 2BG Archives
What started out as a fun hobby putting conversations they’d normally have in private onto the Internet, 2BlackGeeks quickly exploded into a popular, often tweeted, and sometimes celebrity watched web media series covering everything from fashion, standard American primetime television and video games, to epic foreign media including anime, Asian dramas, and the best in Scandinavian noir. It was incredibly innovative in the way it combined real time editing, commentary, social media interactions, and critical analysis. Brutally honest, strangely enlightening, and often notoriously unforgiving, both Laurence and Elaine developed quite an online reputation with fans and industry names alike during the 6+ year run of the show.
Bitten First Impressions – Part 1
The Bitten TV show seems to have been designed from the ground up for really stupid people whereas the novel is better the smarter you are. I watched Bitten but then I started reading the books which actually had something interesting to say. The series unfortunately does not. One of the things I really love about the Bitten book is the ideas and issues it brings up with how men raise their sons without mothers. The novel very ingeniously spins women’s issues, human issues, even spatterings of animal rights within an interesting story. I wonder if the problem with Bitten TV is that the goal is to appeal to female viewers with man meat and steamy sex … versus how the novel has a clear voice and female narrator that pulls in a female reader for different reasons.
- Lauren Voldermort, Laren Voldervort, Laura Vandenmoort – whatever, the chick from V
- 3 men decided this would make a great television series. Did they actually read it?
- Bitten has these elements where we can see and feel a woman’s “voice”
- Women are screenwriting the show but the female “voice” is somehow lost
- Vagina stories can be too heavy on the vagina aspect …
- A woman is trying to communicate “woman things” but the communication is really dumb
- There are so many steps between writing scripts and actually getting on screen
- Is the original intention lost in the chain?
- The “bastard at the bar” scene … this is a vagina story – a woman specific voice
- The scene shows how “strong” Elena is physically … it comes across like feminist garbage
- It feels like an obligatory scene that a man would write in
- “Woman only learn self defense for one reason” … this is another vagina line …
- The strong woman feeling is in there …
- In “Bitten” women don’t normally survive werewolf bites because they’re too weak …
- Elena becomes this exception to this and is therefore “a strong female” = empowering
- Another female voice … that Elena can’t reconcile her own power as a woman etc
- There are men everywhere in Bitten. Sex fantasies.
- How did Elena become a werewolf? Forcibly bitten? Some kind of sexual assault …
- A man wanted to turn her into a werewolf. A pre-meditated assault?
- Bitten then becomes this female fantasy story that has a foundation of strength derived from a violent assault and a woman rising from that strong, independent, etc
- Bitten doesn’t come across as this at all especially when it seems rapey
- Many vagina stories written by women are about women using sex to get what they want
- Women have more leads on TV now but what are they doing in these leads? Having a lot of sex.
- Women write tons of female fantasy stories where they are being overpowered by men
- Original vampire mythology was about overpowering masculinity about forbidden sexuality
- Men write a lot of harem fantasy, women write weird rape fantasy
- More about original vampire film elements – brooding men, forbidden sexuality, woman succumbing to dark masculinity etc. Now vampire stories are about epic amounts of violence upon women
- Vampires of today are psychotic men and women who love them .. Twilight etc
- Women who desire dangerously violent men who bite and drink them – a safe rape fantasy
- The brutish werewolf alpha is in a similar vein
- This werewolf guy looks like a stalker, he looks like someone who you would call the police on
- Women write these stories because they find this sexy – this brutal, rapey, harem fantasy
- Multiple men, living in one house, different ages, different nationalities, and one woman
- Women like this? Women think this is sexy? Deep down women want to be “taken”?
- This setup is gross, creepy and it’s suppose to be steamy, harem oriented …
- I worry about the women that get turned on by this kind of subject matter
- They show the she can take care of herself against men but when she experiences and unwanted touch, she does nothing?
- Too much man ass
- Did Elena WANT to be a werewolf? Did she ask for this and then regret it?
- The Twilight scenario .. I want to be an UNDEAD BLOODSUCKING creature because I love you.
- Wanting to be bitten or “turned” to stay young because of vanity, to keep your men
- Elena changes in nasty alleys …
- Laura now just takes off her clothes every five minutes. Great acting.
- Why can’t you carry a backpack?
- You wear OTHER PEOPLE’S UNDERWEAR??
