Love, Death and Robots Volume 3: David Fincher Wanted His ... (IGN)

We spoke to three-time Oscar-nominee, David Fincher, about directing his first animated feature for Love, Death and Robots Volume 3, titled "Bad Travelling.

What do I need to tell that story?' And I thought, I don't want it to feel like Around the World in 80 Days. I wanted it to feel like Alien." And I like the idea of those kinds of faces: weathered, cynical, and suspicious. The notion is to be a more complete version of a storyteller," Fincher explained. Can I tell...' I mean, the script was... It initially looked like a tapeworm, which is a little disconcerting." "It was a lot like a scorpion, lobster thing. "And I love the idea of these totally disparate-looking, craggy, real sweaty dudes that want to renegotiate the bonus situation before we talk about when we can get the steam back online. And while Asher's story was the primary influence for what we see on screen, Fincher was also inspired by an iconic sci-fi monster film from the late 1970s. Find that word.' It's all the same shit." So that aspect of it, it's the same thing. From his early years directing music videos for Madonna and Aerosmith, crafting memorable films like Seven and The Social Network, and working on acclaimed TV shows such as House of Cards and Mindhunter, Fincher's resume appears to be complete. With the sailors' lives in jeopardy, chaos and mutiny ensue.

Breaking down Love, Death & Robots season 3 by love, death, and ... (Polygon)

Tim Miller and David Fincher's "mature, messed-up" Netflix animated anthology returns for volume 3. We break down the nine new shorts and analyze each one's ...

Does it work? Does it work? It also contains basically no dialogue. But the real evil they must confront is an elder god of ancient and terrifying power. Toward the end, there is a formidable mountain of rat corpses. The plot is strong, the sort of short story you read in an anthology that haunts you for some time afterward. However, if that sort of Adult Swim-esque crude humor is your jam, then “Kill Team Kill” is a gory good time, super macho to the point of hilarious parody. The Special Ops team discovers that the platoon they’re supposed to meet up with has been literally ripped to shreds, and it only gets more dire from there. This short definitely leans on Age of Sail technology, even though it takes place on a distant planet. The kicker at the end of this one is basically the same as the one in the first short, but somehow more hilarious. The fall of mankind is actually comedic. Season 3 follows in the footsteps of season 2, keeping the individual shorts shorter and snappier.

Love, Death and Robots volume 3 review: the Netflix anthology ... (The Verge)

The third season of Love, Death and Robots, an animated anthology of science fiction and horror shorts, is streaming now on Netflix.

Yes, you get lots of death and robots (and a little love). But the main standout of volume 3 is that, well, there isn’t a standout: here are nine excellent genre flicks that all feel very different from one other. It’s grim and hilarious and ends on the important realization that “humans are the actual worst.” There isn’t necessarily a through line connecting the nine films beyond the fact that they’re all animated shorts that explore sci-fi and horror. “Kill Team Kill,” from director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, is a gleefully grotesque battle with a mecha bear, while “In Vaulted Halls Entombed,” directed by Jerome Chen, starts out very Call of Duty before turning into Returnal. It’s almost like a timelapse of our demise at the hands of zombies. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the third season is how varied the shorts are, which range from seven to 21 minutes long.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Love, Death & Robots: Season 3' on Netflix, The ... (Decider)

Overseen by David Fincher and Tim Miller, Love, Death & Robots returns for a third season of social commentary, dark humor, and sharply-rendered visuals.

But as XBOT 4000, Gary Anthony Wiliams of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and a wealth of voice roles keeps the robot crew together with humor and a flair for social comment. Love, Death & Robots is full of rich imagination, smart details, and a refreshing lack of restraint, in both its visuals and language. “I wonder who made it out?” the robots had asked back on Earth, and the answer is not one of our society’s usual suspect UHNWI’s. Love, Death & Robots (Netflix) returns for a third season of animation across the spectrum, lots of swearing, gore, and sex, and under-20-minute platforms for directors to really go off. What Shows Will It Remind You Of? If NSFW animation is your game, Netflix also features America: The Motion Picture, a potty mouthed, ahistorical riff on the nation’s founding that features the voice talents of Channing Tatum, Jason Mantzoukis, and Olivia Munn, amongst many others. And while each story is a standalone, there are thematic links in the chain.

Love, Death + Robots Season 3 review - another high-quality, visually stunning volume. Review is spoiler-free.

The premise behind Love, Death + Robots is basically a free-for-all; a blank canvas – and seemingly blank check – for artists and animators to tell all kinds of interesting and provocative stories. Practically all of these episodes run less than 20 minutes, which is an extraordinary accomplishment given how much narrative ground they cover and how much they’re able to achieve, especially visually. This review of Love, Death + Robots Season 3 is spoiler-free.

The Swarm survived for millions of years thanks to being able to create an intelligent being that could lead them to victory. Swarm reveals that when the hive is under threat, an intelligent being like itself is born to combat the threat. Their plan was to use the genetic information of an egg to create a brand new queen, which would create its own hive and be used to better humanity’s growing place in the galaxy.

Love, Death and Robots' Jibaro may have been inspired by Puerto ... (HITC)

Love, Death and Robots' final episode is the dramatic “Jibaro”, but is the Siren and deaf knight story based on real mythology from Central America?

These soldiers do not appear to have any colours or banners of real conquistadors; however, a series of poems called “Jibaro’s Verses” were produced in 1820 by a Puerto Rican man called Miguel Cabrera de Arecibo. In fact, Netflix only describes him as a “deaf knight” in their episode preview for the Jibaro episode. It’s hard to watch Jibaro and not immediately think of some sort of Siren mythology or Spanish folk tale. Taking her revenge on the soldier who is now no longer immune to her powers, the Siren forces him deeper into the water until he becomes just another drowned body at the bottom of the lake. The soldier then escapes through the forest and after another exhausting journey, comes to a second river crossing where he takes several drinks to replenish his thirst. After realising that her powers were useless against the deaf soldier, the mysterious siren becomes infatuated with him and the two share a passionate kiss.

“Jibaro” Meaning: 'Love, Death + Robots' Short Explained (Distractify)

What's the meaning of “Jibaro,” the 'Love, Death + Robots' Season 3 short? Learn about this tale of a toxic relationship between a knight and a siren.

And when you talk about personal stuff, I think that you actually make the audience understand it and make them feel that it’s real.” “What I want the audience to understand is that this is a film that is not about heroes,” Alberto tells the magazine. “I like when you don’t know who is the real good person and who is the bad guy. In the beginning, you’ll see that the woman is a monster, but later you’ll feel more empathy for her.” The word jibaro refers to the inhabitants of rural Puerto Rico, but “Jibaro” has a different meaning to Love, Death + Robots fans. It’s also the name of the knight who is seduced by a siren in the 17-minute film.

Alberto Mielgo Interview: Netflix's Love, Death & Robots Vol 3 (Screen Rant)

Screen Rant interviews Alberto Mielgo about Jibaro, his contribution to the third season of Netflix's adult animation anthology, Love, Death & Robots.

But I wanted to be a little bit abstract in a way, and I wanted also people to have their own conclusions. You might need to watch it twice. On top of that, you chose the siren story, but you chose to portray a dual morality. I imagine it to be like that. But I need it to be like that. "Jibaro" is a re-imagining of the siren song folktale, containing minimal dialogue and centering on a deaf knight who is immune to this particular siren's song.

Love, Death & Robots 'Jibaro' Ending Explained (DualShockers)

Wondering what's the meaning behind the Jibaro episode in Love, Death, and Robots Season 3? Well, read this post to learn all about the episode.

As her revenge, she uses her voice and dance to lure Jibaro, and as expected, he steps into the water and drowns. Since the water is now mixed with the blood of a supernatural being, it shows some healing properties, and it brings back Jibaro’s hearing when he consumes that water. Initially, the story makes you feel like that Jibaro is prey who is falling for a predator. Jibaro makes it feels like he is naturally attracted to Golden Woman, but that wasn’t the case. Of course, the sorceress gets fascinated by the fact that her charm isn’t working on this one person. Jibaro is unlike anything we’ve seen on television, and we would expect nothing less from the creator who gave us the ‘Witness’ episode in the show’s first season.

Interview: Alberto Mielgo Talks About His Love, Death + Robots ... (Game Rant)

Alberto Mielgo started with the visuals, before crafting the story for his Love, Death + Robots Volume 3 episode "Jibaro".

But I think that technology is wise and the people behind it are also very wise. The pushback is usually frustration that technology is not working as expected, that happens a lot with 3D renders. When asked about the short length of episode, Mielgo says that the process is “a thing of its own.” So, it started with some visuals, and then I started to let it go. The director-writer opened up about how his story came to fruition. The 11-time Emmy Award-winning series Love, Death + Robots dropped nine new episodes, returning to Netflix on May 20 with a third volume.

REVIEW: Love, Death + Robots Delivers a Larger, More Unsettling ... (CBR)

Love, Death + Robots return to Netflix for a third volume of short stories just as wild, epic, and oftentimes unnerving as previous seasons.

The next story in the season, "The Very Pulse of the Machine," takes place far from the sea in the endless ocean of space and with a distinct style of animation. In this story of a Deaf knight and a siren, audiences can expect to walk away from this violent, gritty short feeling deeply moved -- even if they don't immediately recognize some of the themes behind it. Through the cacophony of squeaking voices and screams, the isometric-like perspective, and the fast-paced action, this short is a nice break from the marathon of the arguably cynical content that preceded it. The battle leads to the sailors picking one of their own to handle a creature of the deep. With a script by Andrew Kevin Walker, based on a story by Tim Asher, and directed by David Fincher, this one will most definitely have many on the edges of their seats. Beginning Vol. 3 is "Three Robots: Exit Strategies," which sees the return of the three droids from the first volume, continuing their journey across a post-apocalyptic Earth filled with the remains of human civilization.

Love Death & Robots Volume 3 Review – But Why Tho? (But Why Tho? A Geek Community)

Love, Death & Robots Volume 3 continues to push the boundaries of animated anthologies with plenty of twisted sci-fi and horror tales.

Love, Death & Robots Volume 3 continues to push the boundaries of animated anthologies, with a collection of studios delivering some twisted sci-fi and horror tales. Love, Death & Robots Volume 3 continues to push the boundaries of animated anthologies, with a collection of studios delivering some twisted sci-fi and horror tales. I’d have never pegged Netflix as the one to breathe life back into the zombie genre, but between Army of the Dead, All of Us are Dead, and this short, the streamer looks to be the place to be if you have a tale about the living dead that needs to be told. Fans of Love, Death & Robots will be happy to learn that the very first episode, “Three Robots: Exit Strategies,” serves as a continuation of the fan-favorite “Three Robots” short from volume one. And as befitting the previous volumes, each of the nine installments varies in length and genre, as well as looks, thanks to the multiple animated studios. Love, Death & Robots launches its third volume this week, and Tim Miller‘s animated anthology continues to expand upon the boundaries of animation.
