So I binged all two seasons of Pantheon today,
I expected to be done earlier today, to go to my mothers house for her birthday.
Well I didn’t have time for that so I watched the last episode and a half just now, the show ended at exactly midnight. I noticed it about 40 mins ago that It would finish on the second.
Never had that and probably never will have something like that again, just wanted to share this bizarre moment with you.
Thank you and see ya around.

This is such a great series which did the game the attention it deserved. I tried recommending it to so many of my friends but all they wanna watch are those overrated shows which are already popular!!!

I can not believe I actually spent my memorial day weekend watching this roller coaster of a show. What's most disappointing to me is the fact that the first season was so incredibly good. The characters were fleshed out and felt real. Their motivations were complex yet still believable. It didnt hold you hand and force feed you the theme. Then, the second season swooped in and took any of intrigue the first had built up, and ruined any semblance of cohesion.

I could tell immediately something was wrong when the romance plot between Caspian and Maddie took place. Maddie being 14 wasn't relevant to the story she could've easily been been 17 or 18 and the story wouldn't have changed. The introduction of Justine seemed to be the only call to this. Maddie wasn't able to drive due to her age, but that could've easily explained through her not having a car.

On that, the friendship between Maddie and Justine was what best grounded the first season for me. Their relationship was so human and well written. Instead of her being one of the connections that Maddie treasured, she was quite literally no where to be seen after the first couple of episodes. That's pretty normal in real life, but this is a show that has to actively introduce characters and relationships.

The pacing in this show was abysmal. In a show where the plot is not solely driven by the

interpersonal relationships, you can get away with skipping over a few things. This show, unfortunately, heavily relies on the relationships. That's literally THE maior theme. I can forgive shows like Steven Universe and The Owl House because they we cut short with little foresight. But, from what I've seen online, the creators knew exactly how much time they had to execute this story. This show was created with a distinct beginning and an end in mind but falls flat in its follow through.

Here are a couple of things that I just dont like:

● Cyclic universe only being explored for maybe 15 mins

● Complete 180 flip on the morality of the Uls

● Not exploring MIST as a character

● MIST falling in love with her creator

● Lack of effects on Caspian from being Trumaned

● Trying to downplay the implications of desecrating the Inca ruins

tldr: I enjoved watching a lot of the show and was dumbfounded by the awful ending.

This was so peak 😭. I wanna be a software engineer now.

i made a drawing kinda like a schematics for time skip Caspian's physical body ☺️

This has literally been one of the best shows I've ever watched.... Right up until just now where Caspian fucking UPLOADED HIMSELF. I'm so damn sick and tired of this manufactured "sad nobel sacrafices to pull at your heartstrings" in media these days. It was completely dumb for Maddie to have reacted to MIST, barely letting her speak. Of course that had to do that in order to get the 'noble sacrafice." Obviously I know that MIST isn't gone but Caspian ALREADY uploaded and KILLED his body. I'll not be checking back here until I finish the last few episodes but if he doesn't somehow get his real body back I will consider this show completely ruined.

Are they similar to how real life AIs are trained, just using the architecture of a brain rather than a transformer or neural network?

(Yes, I did steal the pictures take by u/Gamemode_dum)

​

So I have Graves which is an autoimmune disease (hyperthyroidism) and today I was thinking about Caspian's mannerisms then I had a thought "what if Caspian had Graves, what if holstrom had Graves?" Which actually makes sense, think about it, holstrom's hair started greying prematurely and thinning which is something associated with graves, their eye bags are a result of insomnia, lean builds and bad eating habits, depression, irritable, anxiety etc.

And not to mention if left untreated there's a high possibility of thyroid cancer.

Like, a billion dollar company and the best idea you could think of was cloning the guy who got close to cracking integrity so that the clone could solve it? No brain boosting drugs, no specialized ai model, nothing. Honestly, if they made Caspian like some sort of genetically engineered human designed to solve difficult math problems that would have been more immersive for me. Honestly that path could have lead down more interesting plotlines, maybe looking into different kinds of transhumanism.

So I’m confused. Maddie and Caspian decide to go back in time and forget that timeline, right? But they go back to when the whole clone thing was happening? My brain hurts. Someone help.

Inspired by a scene in the fic The Miracle of Backups on ao3! Highly recommend if you're looking for a Pantheon fic with great characterization.

Like aunts, uncles, grandparents? They probably had some presence in Stephen's life, so they'd have to, right? Maybe they didn't come around often, so the actors wouldn't be on stand-by, but I wonder what kind of role they would have played.

I've noticed that the a lot of the line work in episode to is super jaggy looking. On both my TV's Netflix app and in a browser. Did anybody else happen to notice this? Google says its a bitrate issue but I have gigabit internet and it wasn't like this on the first episode. I'm sure it probably IS a netflix issue and not a animation issue but I'm just curious if anyone else saw something like this?

Also yeah he's testing the water, idk but I had urges to draw him near nature

Forever my goat for that final battle. Literally solved peace in the Middle East (it was just two people but it was still something) and fought who was essentially a god.

So I've been really into MBTI recently and have been looking up a lot of my favourite characters' MBTIs, but I haven't been able to find anything on the MBTIs of characters in this show. Does anybody know the MBTIs of the pantheon characters?

Just got into the show last week and finished S1. I hesitated years ago since I heard there was supposed to be a Season 3, but it was canceled prematurely, therefore the story never concluded.

Did a quick “Season 3” Google and I’m hearing that it did, actually concluded, even hearing something about a Recursive loop. But didn’t look deeper than that.

Which is it? Is there a conclusion? Does the spoiler text have something to do with it? Or was it cut short? Was it rushed?

bet these two in particular have a lot to talk about lmao

I’m just confused why some people in the show were so eager to upload when it’s effectively just killing you and then cloning you. Like do they not realise they aren’t actually going to get anywhere and it’s just a clone that gets integrated? It’s not a “digital afterlife” it’s literally just your clone that gets to enjoy it, not you.

The previous season finale of The Boys teased a sweeping upset of the stakes - only for the new season to revert to status quo. The team is back to business again and it’s back to villain of the week.

This is in stark contrast to Pantheon’s commitment to its plot-line. In S2 we get to see how drastically the world has changed without the internet, and how Maddie is forced to deal with the loss of her father. Casper is never really brought back after his sacrifice, and when he was, his relationship with Maddie was not the same anymore. And then the finale!

I think a hallmark of good writing is that the world and the characters realistically react and cope with the changes brought about by the plot. It takes a lot of skill and understanding of the previous world-building and relationships to ‘model’ it accurately and create something meaningful. It’s easy to raise the stakes… not so much to follow it through.

my brain just hurts. building something for 2 seasons just (unspecific spoiler)to shatter it all in the last ten fucking minutes of the last episode. what. my brain hurts.
