For me that’s RWBY. By god I loved V1-V6, and I was completely expecting how V6 ended, because I knew they listened to shippers way too much, but the Vic stuff just made me fall out of love with it instantly. It also helped that I started getting deep into the FGC and esports at that time, so learning how to play fighting games took a bunch of time that I used to spend watching other things and I put that into something more interactive.
This came up because I started listening to a bunch of older RWBY music, realized how old RWBY is and how long it’s been since I watched an episode. Not gonna watch one of course, but it’s just something that came to my mind recently, and god damn, if I win the lottery, I know exactly what I would do with the money.
It always bends to fart sniffing. A good medium, without clear, strict canon, will become lost in the weeds, aka, turd blossoms. ST:TNG, for every good episode like Best of Both Worlds had shit like Renegade Borg and Warp Galaxy Warming.
What is said: Keep it short, keep it tightly controlled.
Hollywood hears: drag it out until bled dry, throw in twists and flavor of the week.
