Gotta love the attention to safety there by using a cloth rag.

It’s all make-believe bro.

“This is the point. And why? Because if you turn off this group of fans (see also: Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Marvel as examples - some do it right, others....not so much) then you are just begging to get a medicore reception, medicore ratings (unless it is truly superb by all measures) and a shit ton of critiscm.”

Wait how am I not having a good faith discussion (I have no idea where your goof faith shit comes from but I don’t really care). All you’ve done is repeat one thing over and over without saying anything with actual substance.

Who knew Pokemon were as boring as your typical urban dweller?

What ardent fans are there of a brand new show? This isn’t Peter Jackson’s LOTR on Amazon, nor is this Tolkien’s Amazon show. There are ardent fans of the books, or the previous shows, and you should not cater to this audience primarily. You should cater to everyone since that makes the most business sense. Every book…

Because the hardcore fans would only approve of what they perceive as what is correct in their heads, and would want the lore to be as detailed as if you were reading multiple Tolkien books. This would bore or confuse the general audience. It has to be dumbed down to appeal to a wider audience because there just isn’t…

“Personally, every LOTR fan I know watched the first episode and wrote it off as garbage.”

“It baffles me how everyone here can hate on crossovers, calling them “lifted hatchbacks”, but refuse to acknowledge the that, “hatchbacks are slammed crossovers” and are astonished that people out there don’t want to buy them.”

“Because it’s a public space”

And we should all have conversations on whether or not those things we enjoy are causing more harm than is acceptable in the name of having fun.

We tend to look down on things that give you pleasure that have adverse negative effects on others, though.

“And the ability to be completely sustainable, even if at the cost of some imagined “efficiency disadvantage”.”

Yeah... I don’t think Spotify, Apple or Amazon are worried about this.

Are you under some impression that a bicycle does the same wear and tear to a road as a multi-ton vehicle and therefore need to be taxed in the same way? Or that being a bicycle rider makes you exempt from all taxes?

There’s plenty of racism and colorism in Brazil.

I thought Jetta myself:

“what did Lewis do to him”

Of course it was a bro-dozer.
