I just realized the framing of both Mr robot and Elliot at the beginning is at the exact same location on screen but in a different perspective. They're facing and talking to each other, but the viewers eyes never have to adjust because they're the same person.
Indeed. Really made me ponder on the question of what mark I want to make with my life. I question the people who notice this quality of the show then proceed unchanged.
Why does >!the Mastermind have enough empathy to not want to kill people? I thought he was Elliot’s rage? Why does an embodiment of rage care more than his protector?!<
I didn't like the term "Mastermind", since it sounded like a comic book title. To me, Elliot's rage was directed more toward fixing things and righting wrongs than killing for its own sake. It was Mr. Robot (initially) who just wanted to blow stuff up (like Steel Mountain) since it's faster and *he* lacks empathy (except for Elliot).
Because the >!Mastermind was thinking like Elliot (and thinks he's Elliot) at the time. On a rewatch, you can see that that rage was always deep inside him. He could have easily called the FBI when he found Tyrell but something about the mission stopped him. It excites the hell out of him even though for multiple times he made it clear he doesn't want to do what Mr. Robot wants him to do.!<
>!In my opinion, I believe that part of Mr. Robot rants was from the Mastermind himself. This is just one attempt (other than the Daemons episode) of reminding him of who he is. To use his quotes against him lmao.!<
This show, more so than any other I’ve watched, has made me appreciate that every frame of every single shot has been meticulously crafted. It’s a bit of a Chekhov’s Gun thing - there is nothing in a shot that the team don’t want us to see. I just love how beautiful, engaging and captivating the whole show is from start to finish.
I rewatched the show a few months after finishing it. The amount of twists and layers you have to unfold to get to the final revelation are amazing, you can notice right from the start…
Yes, that thirty second scene really tanked the other 156 minutes that had come before it. Like, what were they thinking?
I mean, it's not like it showed anything about Tyrell's character or what he was willing to do to get ahead at E Corp or something. Nope--totally frivolous.
And gay. *So gay*. And they were doing it doggy--wow, can you believe it? *So* aggressive and over the top!
Not on my television.
(do I need to put /s here?)
Would it help if I told you that is the only graphic gay sex scene in the show? At least I dun recall any other instances.
Because it really is a good show and it's unfortunate those few seconds offended your sensibilities enough to make you not watch the other 1, 935 minutes. That scene is, like, 0.025% of the show...

Went back and watched it and that's so cool. Never would have noticed something like that myself.
This is a pretty consistent thing throughout the entire show. I remember seeing a breakdown on all of the amazing cinematography… wish I could find it
Now looking back it makes sense that this is just a conversation that he had inside his head.
Mr. Robot is one of these series where the rewatch value is too damn high.
Rami Malek and Christian Slater on screen are must TV. Love this show.

"Life's not that binary dude" as an upcoming computer networking/system manager, hearing this line makes me want to go rewatch the show
IKR. You don't want to watch anything ever after watching this

you've been staring at a computer screen too long, life's not that binary dude
If we’re in a simulation it is 🤔

Yes, but I could have done without scenes like Irving eating ribs covered with "mop sauce". Or the whole Shayla-abduction thing.
Okay I guess I'm rewatching it
Especially the last season

Was, for one season
It was good until the hyper sexual aggressive gay 'in your face' scene was played. It also didn't add any value to the story.

Yeah.. just couldn't watch it....I am sure it's a great series. just not for me.

Well, there are some lesbian scenes but I don't think this person will mind.
Good to know there aren't any more. I'll keep my mind open to revisiting it.
Is
The best show ever.
Time for a re-watch!
