LOST (Show) is just KINGDOM HEARTS for PRETENTIOUS ADULTS (SPOILERS DUH)

[Hektor]

Every masterpiece

Has its cheap copy

I AM HEKTOR AND I AM READY TO FIGHT

I finally watched LOST after my friends repeatedly telling me to watch it

Watch LOST they say
It's a great show they say
One of the most influental TV Phenomena they say

and i have OPINIONS

i dont even know where to start.

Both feature vanilla protags

With a rude-but-good sidebro thats much more popular with the ladies and antagonistic in the earlier part

And a woman that's propped up to be/come a much bigger baddass than they ever actually get the chance to be in the face of kidnappings and hostage situations

It all starts on an Island

That the characters are trying to leave by boat

At the core of both stories is a magical macguffin place that does cool shit without ever properly explaining what it is, the Kingdom Hearts (Lost's version: Heart of the Lake)

2/3rds of the way through the story, they both suddenly introduce time travel as a major concept

Both stories start with a villain that appears to be vastly more relevant and competent at the beginning than they actually end up being and sort of cease being the villains (without properly becoming good guys either)

Who is then replaced by the real villain

Who goes around body snatching a main character that's known to work alone and make a lot of stupid decisions

Who is revealed to be the heartless that appeard at the very beginning of the whole story

YOU STILL DONT BELIEVE ME???

CLEAR AND SHAMELESS PLAGIARISM OF NOMURA-SANS INCREDIBLE WORK
CASE CLOSED YOUR HONORS

 

[NuclearCake]

Yeah, both turned completely disappointing as it went on.

 

[purseowner]

Knew exactly who the OP would be before clicking.

Incredible work.

 

[JaseMath]

You forgot

STARTS STRONG BUT ENDS SUCKING AND OVERLY COMPLICATED

 

[Serene]

[Vindenak]

This made me want to watch Lost

 

[AkimbOb-omb]

Thank you for protecting me from ever touching Kingdom Hearts.

[Mankoto]

Damn, I guess I'mma start watching Lost. Mission Failed OP.

 

[chrominance]

Not gonna lie, I watched the entirety of Lost and even wrote up a synopsis of the entire show once for some friends who wanted to know if it was worth watching, and I did not remember the heart of the lake or what the hell it's supposed to be for. I still don't remember it now, but I recall that screenshot at least so I at least know it made an appearance in the show.

Also, thanks for letting me know advance that I should throw all my Kingdom Hearts games IN THE GARBAGE (or maybe just the third one, which is the game that has the cool time travel stuff)

It's a great time

 

[Linus815]

both are amazing

 

[Unknownlight]

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts 3 and LOST ending

Both have the protagonist sacrifice themselves at the end.

 

[Ruck]

they're both Disney so when's the Lost world coming to kh

also I'm a ride or die for both. Lost is the best TV show of all time and kingdom hearts is.. well, I still like it

 

[Suede]

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

 

[ap_2]

So in this analogy, what is Sora's "popping pills while driving around listening to the Pixies" moment?

 

[giapel]

Lost was amazing when watched as it was released because the last season wasn't available to spoil everything.
It's a shame as well because every time I try to watch it again, I'm reminded how much of a disaster the last part was and give up.

that Lost timeline graphic isn't even accurate. you're DECEIVING people

 

[Wesker]

I feel offended that you compared something well crafted – although for some people half-cooked – IP to something as shameful as the other IP.

True.
And it was all purgatory anyway ... lol
/s

 

[Sterba]

Must be why I love both so much.

 

[NANA]

Lost is actually great tho.

Huh, guess you are outside the US? I'm guessing in that case , its on Hulu in the US?

Edit: Just checked, awesome - another TV serial to put on my watch list lol

 

[Musubi]

And that makes Kingdom Hearts better by default because they don't have Hikaru Utada

 

[shoemasta]

So you're saying the spiritual successor to Kingdom Hearts will be the GOAT just like The Leftovers is to Lost?

Good good

 

[Palette Swap]

Both end up being really stupid. Checks out.

"Don't worry Sora we'll save your friends from the Smoke Monster"

Spoiler: IDK

I've never seen Lost

 

[Keym]

So the secret endings were just flashforwards, JUST LIKE IN LOST

I'm a believer OP

[Homura]

They're both amazing.
If I see someone mention "they were dead the whole time!!!" I'm going to scream

 

[Alex de Souza]

It does have some similarities, but the main difference is that Kingdom Hearts is fun.

I don't think it's gonna win any awards and might put you off if you don't like really graphic gore but it has that full early Lost mystery charm.

 

[Androidsleeps]

Does Kingdom Hearts have a polar bear?

 

[Damn Silly]

Damn, now I gotta watch Lost.

Hm thanks, might check it out to get my mystery box show fix

 

[Zeliard]

I know OP warned about it but these are some major spoilers not gonna lie 😂

Also watch Lost, it's one of the all-time greats. And yes that includes the ending goddammit. I've been dying on that hill for over a decade and my corpse will adorn it forevermore.

 

[transience]

if only KH were half as good as Lost

 

[MisterZimbu]

How dare you compare such a great beloved series to such a terrible one

 

[LiquidDom]

Lost blows Kingdom Hearts out of the water, and I'm a fan of KH.

Lost is my personal favorite show of all-time.
