Why do you feel Fury Road is an "opera"?
It functions the way music does, with tight timing being part of the effect. Telling a story is not it's main purpose.

I have to stand for my own. It's a form of self-sacrifice.

Cheesy is fine, but only when that was the original vision.
Frank Darabont's TWD wasn't cheesy at all. That scene of Morgan trying to bring himself to shoot his wife was gold.
For one season, it was a show that took itself seriously and was really good. The quality fell apart, but the self-seriousness remained. It's kind of hard to readjust expectations and view a once legitimately good show as camp. -

You don't want to. It feels like betrayal. What's inside is not "what it says on the package".

I think I'll give up on Westworld after the 3rd episode too.
It's pretty good but I can't be bothered with pointless psychological questioning and find out I'm not interested in any of the rest.

stopped following after the prison season
stopped watching all together around the time they got caught and were to be killed and eaten by those cannibals
the thing is just too dumb, wherever Rick went, his group destroyed a perfectly viable way of livingand the gang still followed this wacko everywhere!

That's a very good point really.
After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done. -

just to make things clear since there seems to be alot of bad blood between GoT and TWD:
I'm not bashing TWD, I really liked it in the first 2 seasonsbut rick's group manages to destroy everyone else's way of dealing with the "Zombie Apocalypse" and it pisses me off.
Shane was a much more pragmatic leader, in my opinion.

Interesting timing, because after the "cliff-hanger" of last season, I decided I'd tune in just to see who got whacked this season and then stop watching. I somewhat "knew" it would be Glenn because of the comic and figured there might be another "surprise" (Abraham) but like so many others was frustrated with the non-payoff at the end of the season after so much deliberate Negan-teasing.
As another person on the TWD board adeptly put it, the show became a "chore" or an obligation instead of a "must see" much earlier, and for me, that was the 4th season. The formula was already worn out and they kept the gov waaaaaaaaaaaay past his shelf life, and Terminus turned out to be a non-story, it lasted all of about one episode. The number of filler episodes became excrutiating, and the "cliff-hanger" last season was the final straw.
Now that Negan is the season's big-bad, I might tune in for ep 16 to find out how he gets killed, or maybe just read about it, but for now, I'm done.
