>>118767582If it was a completely different show it might be consistent, sure, I can agree to that.
How about this? How would you feel about a twist where it turns out that it actually was modern day and Spear and Fang run into researchers exploring some lost continent or something? They have guns and computers, drive quads around and speak english, and Spear follows them back to New York and has to fistfight Jeff Bezos to stop him from capturing all the dinos to sell as pets on amazon.
I'm not saying that's what this is, obviously that's a ridiculous shitpost, but you probably wouldn't like it, because it went in a direction other than what you thought the show was, and wanted it to be. Even if it turned out good, what do you think your reaction would be when they first landed in a hovercraft or something?
You apparently see the show as Pulp first and everything else second. That's fine, you're in it for the aesthetic and to just see an animated Frazetta comicbook cover, and so to you movement in that direction doesn't feel like change. "Why wouldn't it have a slaver empire and damsel in distress when it already had a shirtless beefcake committing gratuitous violence on monsters and apes? Those just naturally go together"
But "pulp" as a genre, with all it's tropes and conventions doesn't have a monopoly on violence or adventure. Primal had some pulpy aesthetic sure, but nothing so far had indicated that it also had any significant other trappings of the genre. If someone wanted a show about a guy and his dinosaur in pre-history, that's what it was, and nothing more, until the last episode of season 1 where they go "Okay so in season 2 they go fight the gauls circa 300BC" and you can't see how they'd get some whiplash?
