>>114096060People really liked the idea of a show about gems and the designs were good or at least fine
Then the show took a noticeable nosedive but still had a few good episodes here and there so people kept watching.
Then it became very apparent the show was never gonna get any better then season 1 after repeatedly disappointing everyone with lukewarm conclusions to heavy arcs like the Cluster or making Lars a space pirate or fighting the Diamonds but for anyone I had asked “why are you still watching this” it was always met with “I’ve watched it since the beginning might as well see how it ends”
Not too many people, at least that I’m aware of, are actually continuing to keep up with the show because they like it but because it’s been airing since 2013 so might as well see how it ends
