Organized Chaos? Who's to say?

[holly-mckenzie]

When people ask where I’m from, I say, think of the furthest place north you’ve ever been. Now keep going. Keep going. Yep, that’s us. Ice Cove, Nunavut. The heart of the arctic. Now, most southerners think we’re… And while all that’s technically true, I am a modern Inuk woman. Whatever that means. All my life, I’ve tried to do everything right. I got married out of high school, started a family, and now he’s the town golden boy, and I’m… his wife. But it’s springtime which is kind of like our new year’s And this year, I’m finally putting myself first. I’m gonna get a job, reconnect with friends, Be the best mom, and maybe even-  Come on, babe. No one’s gonna be looking at you anyways. Coming!

EVERYONE GO WATCH THIS SHOW IT'S SO FUN

[ramblesbiab]

it has set in while looking for Scavengers Reign gifs that I can kinda just. Make them.

yay

[ariadne-mouse]

Cosmic dread and cosmic wonder are two sides of the same coin, and Scavengers Reign is spinning that coin so fast it looks like a perfect sphere

[theriverbeyond]

my "this is why you should watch this" pitch for scavengers reign is actually that if you were the type of kid who enjoyed stories set in scifi/fantasy settings but you always wished those stories focused a whole lot more on the weird and fun creatures in those scifi/fantasy settings, and like what if they just made a nature documentary about the weird fantasy animals and dispensed with the human narrative all together like wouldn't that be cool. anyway. this is the show for you

SCAVENGERS REIGN | 1.03 THE WALL

[demifiendrsa]

Scavengers Reign co-creator Joe Bennett confirms on his Instagram account that the series will not be renewed for season 2 at Netflix. He also shared a concept teaser for what season 2 might've looked like had it gotten renewed.

As of right now, Scavengers Reign is not being renewed for a second season. I wanted to let everyone know directly because I really love our fanbase, they’ve been such champions for the show, and I don’t want to leave everyone hanging. We’ve had to fight tooth and nail every step of the way to get this show made, starting all the way back in 2016 with the Scavengers short film to the release of the first season last year. It’s a case study for believing in something and persevering through a million and one hurdles. But, it got made, thanks especially to so many people who supported it along the way, in big and small ways. I want to thank some of those people, starting with my co-creator Charles Huettner @charles.huettner , Chris Prynoski @chrisprynoski and everyone at @titmouseinc , my home base at @greenstreetpictures , the writers, directors, and so many incredible artists who worked tirelessly on the show, and the folks at Max who were incredible partners to work with. But this is not the end. There is more story to be told, we are ready to make another season, and we produced in-house at Green Street a teaser for what was going to come in the second season. Thanks again to everyone who watched and supported the show.

this theory on the origin/nature of life on the planet vesta has really interesting analysis of the evolutionary patterns

[calderawizard]

The conflict coming down to Levi and Hollow is so perfect.

Levi is a creation of humanity altered by Vesta. Hollow is a creature of Vesta altered by humanity.

Levi alters Vesta in turn, giving rise to a new species. Hollow alters Kamen in turn, giving him visions and guiding him.

Levi becomes a part of Vesta's ecosystem through the white lilly fungus, helping it grow. Hollow is torn away from Vesta's ecosystem through Kamen, killing more and growing more than it should be able to.

Hollow destroys Levi, which is the catalyst for Levi's transformation, becoming more than they were before. Levi destroys what Hollow has become, freeing Hollow and Kamen from each other's influence.

Two perfect arcs, coming together beautifully in two perfect confrontations.

get it monkee frog

Something so vile about HBO Max patting themselves on the back for the Scavengers Reign Emmy nomination even though they cancelled and pulled the show from their platform…

Congrats to the crew anyway, this series deserves the nomination.

[irlapple]

i mean if my weird trauma frog creature showed me my beautiful ex girlfriend in return for killing some animals i'd do it too

men will literally become an alien frogs fetus instead of going to therapy

i haven't had time to properly digest it all yet, but there's a certain tenderness in how scavengers reign treats its characters that i really like about it. the show sidesteps a lot of typical survival horror tropes and keeps me on my toes all the time. like i thought sam and ursula's fight in ep 3 would cause a rift to form between them. i thought azi would get weirded out by levi's growing sentience and push them away. but nope, they're all just trying to survive in this strange place. and survival means cooperation and sympathy

[susaken456]

I like how you can interpret Ursula's character as an element that guides the audience through the weirdness of Vesta (Scavengers Reign as a whole).

One of the major things about Scavengers Reign is that nothing is really explained. They never explain what the goal of the wall flower is or why its pollination process is seemingly so complex, but you don't really need an explaination in order to get something out of it; even if you, like Ursula, can't articulate what you just saw.

I don't think the lack of exposition means the writers were lazy, though, as there's clear artistic intent in every scene. You are on an alien planet. Much like the characters, you aren't supposed to understand most of the stuff. However, you can take the patience of contemplating.

This is what Ursula is there for. She doesn't need an explanation for the things she sees, she just accepts the experiences of what is presented to her and isn't in a rush to get any answers. She's like an indirect message from the writers, saying "this is the way to best experience this incredibly alien landscape".

[sassinake]

it's art for art's sake. and also very relatable expressions of humanity.
