>>126620980There are two ways to write a story:
1. Write it so even outsiders are able to understand, appreciate, and sympathize with the plight of a person they have zero relatability to.
2. Write it so only the people who already have had those experiences can understand and find enjoyment out of it.
The former is universal, the latter is niche. Niche isn't bad, but it's often something that bad writers use (incorrectly I might add) as an excuse for their shitty writing. They believe their story "IS. NOT. FOR. YOU." when what they don't realize is that their writing is just... bad. Period.
Movies like "Fast and the Furious" are not for me, I don't enjoy racing movies and I don't care for that "cars are awesome!" type of culture. But I see the appeal for people who DO enjoy it, and the writing is good for what it wants to be. Meanwhile, I'm able to enjoy something like Everybody Hates Chris even though I have zero idea of what it's like to grow up black in 80's ghetto New York with a financially struggling family, and that's because the writers do a good job at getting me to understand what that would be like while adding humor to it.
The Snagglepuss comic sounds like it went for #1's approach to writing.
