The problem with this is that X-Files was a lighting-in-a-bottle show. The Duchovny/Anderson chemistry was something truly special and the show was uniquely attached to its time.   You can repeat the formula and make something just fine, but without the particular personalities and cultural contexts that made the…

Well, the simple answer is because they are written that way.

The reason SU comes to mind is that SU is harmless, and so, for the most part, are Sanderson’s books. SU’s main message is about being kind to one another, yet its fanbase is ultra-rabid and hyper-toxic. Sanderson’s work is mostly imaginative in the worldbuilding, with profoundly middle-of-the-road/safe characters,…

The Rick and Morty fandom didn’t bully artists off Twitter with death threats for not making character ‘fat enough’ in art.

I was in the Steven Universe fandom and at its worse it was shockingly vile. I watched people argue for anti-miscegenation, claiming that humans and gems (especially Rose and Greg) could never eth…

I always feel like the claims of TMNT starting off as a “dark and gritty” comic series was a bit overblown. Yes, they would cut down their enemies (and killed Shredder several times), but they weren’t exactly drinking foot clan blood and shitting in decapitated heads.

I close my eyes and I can see the day we met,
Just one moment and I knew:
You’re my best friend, do anything for you.

We’ve gone so far and done so much
And I feel like we’ve always been together.
Right by my side through thick and thin,
You’re the part of my life I’ll always remember.

The time has come,
It’s for the best, I…

Thanks. Linking things mentioned in the headline is hard. 

Since it wasn’t anywhere to be found in the actual post:

I think you just perfectly described it. It was always comforting to know it was still going even if you weren’t paying attention to it.

0:22:: Pikachu, until become a Pokemon Master, you’ll always be by my side, won’t you?

Yeah I mean they really had three options for Ash - 1) never end his story (what they’ve been doing until now and what The Simpsons is still doing), 2) end it in some triumphant way where he finally becomes a Pokemon Master, or 3) exactly what they did, the implication that he’s still doing his thing and we just…

All in all, it doesn’t seem like such a bad ending. And I hope the new series has cameos by Ash and Pikachu. I was kind of hoping the final season would whiplash back to his OG design as I still don’t like his redesign.

Although I didn’t really watch/ keep up with the series after around 2010, it was one of those…

I got emotional reading this and I don’t even like Pokemon and haven’t seen an episode of the show since, I don’t know, 2003 maybe?

Stupid dumb emotions.

In the end, the true prize was the friends Ash made along the way.
