Except it’s not really mild criticism, is it? Just one example below:

My dude, this article states multiple times that they haven’t really made any missteps and ends with “... good intent doesn’t matter when the end result is harmful. It doesn’t mean jack shit if you promise to be moral and responsible with your depiction of other cultures and then publicly condemn anyone who is made…

This critique is a regurgitation of talking points. It’s also very judgmental of the shows success and the people running the show without any reason to critique it other than it exists. She doesn’t name a single specific thing aside from random costumes in a promo video. What there is vproof of is CR doing their best…

I see that, but again, the people in CR have basically been the definition of good allies. They apologize almost instantly for any mistake made, and do their best to be inclusive and to help people.

So who are they going to ask to leave the show to add new cast members? Matt has expressed multiple times that it’s a lot of work dealing with each cast members back story, not to mention that he has to also keep track of their abilities in and out of combat. They do regularly have guests that are almost always BIPOC.…

I understand people’s reticence to this, especially if you belong to the cultures this particular fantasy-inspired campaign exists in, but if your example boils down to them wearing some costumes in a silly promo piece that explorers used to wear, then that’s... not a lot.

That may be true, but I don’t honestly think Kotick and all his evil have much to do with the actual state of games like WoW and Overwatch. WoW designers spent the last year and some months telling players “these bad systems in the game are good,” only to turn around and reverse full throttle on it. No one is forcing…

I disagree with that common logic, as I get older I realize more and more that fucked up people, and people who don’t seem like they’re fucked up but are, moreso go after positions of power.

Yeah, “despite” is not the best word choice. “Because” would be more apt.

I don’t disagree with your general point, but what about the current internal structure of new G4 gives you the indication that it’s exactly the same? Because nothing about new G4, other than Kevin being there - and by “Kevin being there” I mean him being a part of this after creating a toxic work environment on The…

Starfield, Dying Light 2, Horizon FW, and other popular titles are also on this list so what is your point?

I remember playing the demo for this game and just being wildly confused the whole time. Understood nothing about the characters, the combat system, or what was going on in the world. I finished it thinking “what did I just do for three hours?”

The point I was making is this bad show you like does much of the same stuff. It’s not superior. You haven’t disproved anything I said, only sidestepped it with examples, examples that I can only guess at what you’re referencing because they don’t exactly correlate to what I referenced.

... you mean like what happens in live action Bebop when Gren was written as the token “gay friend” and gets the shit kicked out of her, Julia gets written as the “damsel in distress,” then gets beaten and emotionally battered for ten episodes, or when Anna got written as a blaxploitation stereotype and also gets…

The Bebop movie has always felt underrated to me. We lost a true artist today.

What in this trailer says anything about any Skywalkers? Pretty sure this is during the High Republic. Skywalker is nowhere close to existing during this time period.

Okay, but you do understand that movies and shows like The Godfather, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Dark Knight, etcetera, are almost universally loved for very tangible reasons, right?

The anime is GOATed by countless people. It’s okay not to love it as much as I do, but if you can’t understand the technical artistic reasons why people feel that way, then you shouldn’t be judging it or the live action show either in terms of quality.

My dude on a very basic level you do not seem to understand that you like something that is objectively mediocre.

What do you want people to do? Pretend that they like something subpar? This isn’t just Netflix cancelling a good show. Views were low, reviews were middling at best, and viewer/fan reviews are terrible.
