>>112927523>modern character designs and story tellingsthese things are wrong. from constant fan wanking over certain characters like the constant wanking over tigra from the recent thundercats reboot. to shows that reboot franchises with female characters and piss poor writing who expect to coast on being woke like ghostbusters: answer the call and when they don't level accusations of the critics being misogynists. modern character story telling has devolved into piss poor writing and blaming the failure on the fans who refused to recognize the work's genius. "woke" media is not owed an audience, consumer's who choose to consume "woke" media don't get to go around demanding that all media that exists be theirs and all others removed, blacklisted or destroyed. modern media is a reflection of the modern culture, a fractional-ized egocentric extension of self that is unrelenting in it's totalitarian need that anything that is not itself to not exist and be destroyed.
the worst of this problem is the fans of a genre know the truth and must endure passerby's who come in here to "shit on" or "uplift" modern "character designs" and "story telling". what separates successes of female characters like Michelle Gomez's "The Mistress" and Kate McKinnon's "Dr. Jillian Holtzmann". two things well written, fully fleshed out stories and actresses who are performing at the best of their abilities. Mckinnon should have never been cast as in a drama, the vast majority of her work is scripted comedies, but they did this because they expected to coast on the fact the movie had automatically the female audience. and that's ultimately is why so many things involving what you call "modern character designs" and "story telling" fail because it's not about anything other than a cash grab....
and it's not even particularly that entertaining of a cash grab at that.
