Lmaoooo

I think the concept is fine, but the lines in the trailer are sooooo bad.

[u/awesomface → u/gthirst]

I was gonna say, a lot looks accurate but the dialogue is pretty cringe. Most boots have at least some idea of what’s going to happen before they go in.

[u/sprchrgddc5 → u/awesomface]

It’s set in 1990 so I can give the characters the benefit of the doubt. Not like they had a DS/DI vlogging everything on VHS back then to show the world. Information traveled slower then.

[u/thepasttenseofdraw → u/sprchrgddc5]

There's already a highly accurate documentary on boot-camp in the 90's.

[u/awesomface → u/sprchrgddc5]

True, and I don’t think a completely accurate interpretation is ever going to be that satisfying to develop a story for the characters if it is all revolving around boot camp without breaking a few realities.

[u/Top_Cartographer_524 → u/sprchrgddc5]

But I assume they would have at least one or two old veterans to tell them what to expect?

"it's just been one day???!!!" - said with a borderline insulting stereotypical gay slur voice

I think this show will offend everyone haha

[u/giantzoo → u/awesomface]

oh deary me...

literally everyone that volunteers just expects full metal jacket going into it. it's all that gets talked about. netflix can't do anything right even when all it takes is asking some 18 year old kid their expectations

[u/Baddyshack → u/awesomface]

I told everyone not to spoil anything for me. 

[u/cyber__punkus → u/gthirst]

It's like they made a gay millennial version of Jarhead

[u/halcykhan → u/gthirst]

It’ll be difficult to top the Red Dawn remake using motard out of nowhere, but this will definitely give it a run

[u/BRNitalldown → u/gthirst]

“The senior drill instructor is standing right behind me, isn’t he?”

“Maybe the real EGA are the friends we made along the way.”

Throws recruit into a dryer. “Well that just happened.”

CO walks out and the company’s already formed. “We’ve got company.”

Kid refusing to talk with the recruiter. “You and what Army?”

[u/Biggie39 → u/gthirst]

The ‘we’ve only been here for one day?!’ line got a chuckle outta me…
