🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

[Raw Onion Enjoyer]

There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, but the thing that rubs me and probably others wrong about him is his arrogance and inability to take any criticism, however constructive. Nobody is expecting him to be next Peter Jackson or Ken Burns, but nevertheless, theres a minimum required amount of planning ahead and management for a project like this. Instead, the pacing is all out of whack and the show has zero consistency. It jumps between challenges, things are presented without any context, it's 4 episodes in and nobody has still mentioned what the show is even about. I predict it's going even more off the rails because they have to tell 30 days of story over 6 half-hour episodes. Why did they even restrict themselves to 10 episodes in the first place? I'm sure he learned a lot from the first season and that's okay. What is not okay is responding to any criticism with a variation of "I'm right, you just don't get the high art I'm making". Of course that's going to piss people off.

This guy actually spergs, blocks people who don't kiss his ass then claims it's some 4d chess to make the gangstalkers reveal themselves. Even while ignoring the fishtank stuff he's an complete faggot and deserves all the hate he gets.

It’s going to be interesting to see what Jet with an ego is like on cam during season 2

Jet is such a dweeb.

I went on Twitter today, and Jet and his biggest dick-suckers are still blocking users with ANY feedback/thoughts that aren't just praising him.
What I see most people taking about in terms of "negative" feedback is that the episodes are missing most if not all context, has very rough technical execution, and is generally hard to follow. This is also what I see users here talking about, and from what I can tell, most people just want this thing to be good, and the only "haters" I see are PAYING CUSTOMERS and SUPPORTERS, upset that they are no longer wanted for not also mindlessly sucking his cock.

Before the episodes stared airing, Jet told the "fish" that they should start prepping for fresh interest in them from the new people now finding fishtank through the free episodes, but they are only watchable for people who have already seen the show and just want additional, HD footage. Jet must actually be retarded if he thinks this can be shown to anyone, cold, like a properly made show can.

Now, I wonder if Jet and his drones will also block the winner of season 1 for thinking the exact same thing most people have been saying about the edited episodes?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is she the only closely show-associated person (with potentially future CoI), to not blindly kissing boot?
This in spite of Jet giving her gifts that, in my opinion, is to make her less likely to say anything not strictly positive about his stuff...

this. for all the effort sam, jet and the team as a whole actually, put into making themselves to be this ultra avant-garde group of internet cool but fucked up guys, they sure do just look like just trust fund hipsters. which is insane to me since sam used to dunk so much on this stereotype, but maybe that's the point and I'm not in on the joke. "I'm not a hipster I'm just very self-aware".

The Wefunder campaign hit its initial $1M goal, so for whatever reason (likely to get paypiggies to think they're getting in on a sweet deal) they raised the goal to $1.5M. Also the campaign doesn't seem to have an end date and who knows how the funds are managed so at least on the surface the whole thing seems like a convoluted way to donate the show money so Sam can roid rage more doors in half and destroy kitchens with a weed-whacker without putting any of his own/his investors' money in.
Looking at the campaign's description, there's absolutely no way Jet & co can pull off the stuff they promise. So far, they've doxed their users twice (in the beginning, your email was your username in chat, and later, they didn't use blind carbon copy for mass email notifications) and had a difficult time presenting a show that ended 5 months ago in a coherent and consistent manner, so I have a little hard time believing they'll be able to create a MMORPG without it having the worst possible execution.

So ideally this goes so damn well that investors get dividends, outside of that the other scenario would be a some kind of buyout/aquisition:

How will I make a return on my investment, and when?

We’re not able to make lots of future projections, but we have big ambitions for the company.

If we have a successful exit in the future (like an IPO, merger, or acquisition) for more than that amount, you’ll see a return on your investment. In the future depending on our level of success we may also have the potential to offer dividends.

I remember what Sam thought about Notch giving up on to Mojang and leaving a strong financially successful thing to rot in corporate hell.

I wouldn't expect this Sam to ever sell, but maybe he is thinking about cashing out.

is she the only closely show-associated person (with potentially future CoI), to not blindly kissing boot?

Letty said the same when she watched the first episode on stream on YouTube. So the first and second place contestants both agreed on it publicly.

Something else I thought about the episode is um, I don't think to new viewers who come in - they didn't really explain the premise of like, the show. So maybe they should add like a trailer or something in the first few minutes or like before the pilot just to like explain the premise of the show, because I feel like as a new viewer it would be difficult to understand what's happening.

One of the biggest fears about season 2 is that Jets ego will form in him trying to have more screen time on the show. Jet didn't appear too often, not counting when he was in the shark outfit, but I could see him thinking he deserves more screen time or that he needs to have a goldstriker type character. One of my biggest hopes is that Sam is more involved, even if it's just planning because Sam can actually be funny and seemed to understand the appeal of fishtank more than Jet plus he's obviously been involved with production of a real tv show. I know Sam was pretty busy with WP2 during fishtank season 1 but he's probably more free now and hopefully reigns Jet in to make sure he doesn't mess up one of the best things to happen to Nu-MDE. There's a lot of potential for the show, it's definitely not reached it's peak, but it could run into some big problems if it's not planned well this time. Again, season 1 got very lucky.

Echoing the sentiment of others ITT, I’ve been pretty let down by the episodes so far. Perhaps this was inevitable given the way the show was filmed but it all feels disjointed, they’ve failed to tell a coherent story. They could’ve done so much more with ep3 especially

 

[DOUBLE_WHEEL]

I'm going to take the opposite opinion of everyone and say that Jet trying to push himself through fishtank would be hilarious especially if he crashes hard and gets his newly pumped up ego bruised doing it. Imagining him doing a poorly done Goldstriker impression while weakly punching stuff already has me laughing.

It would make season two worth it just to watch that.

Considering Nick and Charls were just busy during season one I think it's almost guaranteed that they'll be reoccurring guests. I'm thinking Nick as the home and safety inspector and Charls is nu-chip: just a schizo homeless guy they let live in the house.

I don't think Jet was upstairs too much like people said and I'm not gonna be doomwatching expecting a huge downfall. But his best position is always going to be bellhop, good cop type guy because he's the one feeding the cast and making sure they're safe, and that made him a less believable dick. When the guy you go to for Band-Aids is saying he hates you it's just "yeah right, Jet..."

One of the biggest fears about season 2 is that Jets ego will form in him trying to have more screen time on the show.

Not just appearances, but his horribly drawn-out bits, like the endless poop crime drama. A poopie on the floor can be funny, but hours of nothing-theatre around it, with no other punchline than "alright, bit over. Go back to what you were doing" is anti-entertainment. I totally agree with the people reading him (later on in the show) as one confusing "people want to watch strange people interact" with "people think I am funny".

When he uploaded the sketch comedy challenge as cut content, commenting that it was cut because it was not as funny as the other shit he would keep in, I feard that he would include HIS scripted shite instead. Now that we know that he considers the basic premise of the show not important enough to include, but has him going to grab stuff from the fridge at night as the opening ""bit"" to an episode.... its not looking good, guys. Can we expect a half-to-full episode on just the poop case? It was recorded in HD, while Sylvia's elimination just had a phone cam for B-photo.

I am looking forward to S2 live, but I hope Jet will stop driving people away and making unnecessary enemies, and that he is secretly taking notes behind the "my shit don't smell" façade.

Edit: spelling. Sorry if my English is bad.

Again, season 1 got very lucky.

I was willing to acknowledge a job well done on season 1. There were plenty of flaws, but I was optimistic on the Jet + crew learning from them. With his bitchmade attitude about criticism though I’m now entirely convinced it was just lightning in a bottle. The tts directed at Jet will be funnier than what anyone says about the actual fish.

It's the real me! There should be interesting conversation here, I don't plan on sticking around long.

Judging from his Twitter he looks like a hardcore Josie simp. Not sure otherwise. Last I saw @0 2 threadbanned him until he identified himself in Talk to Staff

these bits wouldn't work, they'd have just barely worked in season 1, because s1 at the very least had 1 person who wasn't familiar with MDE - Simmons - and they got rid of him over a dumb chomo scare, which in effect got rid of the only contestant not in on the joke
s2 will be a full roster of mde-heads

Mauro also had no prior knowledge of Sam or MDE but was so uninteresting his reactions added little. I really, REALLY hope for season 2 they can find some actual people who haven't heard of MDE for the show.

Can someone explain who this is?

An incredibly obsessive Josiecel who posted massive screeds about loving Josie on /ftl/. I think he's the one who met her at Game On Expo in August and hung around her booth after asking her out and getting shot down. Not sure if he's been banned from Josie's YT chat or if he just finally gave up and started lurking but I haven't seen him in her streams in over a month. Last dono he gave was about 2 or 3 weeks ago asking her to read some DM he sent her. I assume it's completely unhinged and creepy
