>>121070663>What don’t you all like about the show/creator?Alright, are you a fan of any video game franchises? Can you think of one in which you have at least some degree of attachment to things like the characters or the central premise of the game?
Suppose that Warren Ellis got hired to write an adaptation of that series you like, but instead of playing the games he just skimmed a fan wiki and came up with a basic script from there, assembled from various articles he looked at. The show starts off okay, but you soon get the feeling that it doesn't really go anywhere. The heroes just stand on the sidelines, while the show focuses on discussions between original characters who feel shoehorned in and given more importance than the alleged protagonists, and game characters who've been changed so much they might as well be given different names.
At the end of the season, it feels more like the heroes accidentally stumbled upon the story's finale, just after the prologue. They haven't been anywhere, or done anything. It's lost sight of the source material, almost to the point of being an entirely different series.
Then it turns out that the writer's sexual fetishes are suspiciously similar to some scenes and plotlines in the show, which adds to the feeling that the writer wasn't interested in adapting the source material as much as he was in creating something he could crank it to.
That's basically the perspective of some fans who dislike the series.
