@Critical_Scribe This is a large reason why I sort of dropped this sort of, ongoing event TV. The characters are constantly under scrutiny and they are always kind of being voted on by the studio, the audience and the wider culture. They no longer exclusively serve the story 2/2

@Critical_Scribe I think there is an issue, especially with TV where it is abundantly obvious If the writer "likes" a character or not and it is usually manifested through whether they survive pivotal conflicts or not. 1/2

@Critical_Scribe Consistency does matter. I don't think people who downplay "worldbuilding" and the like do not think it doesn't matter. However, I have noticed that the general audience and nerds alike will make exceptions for things that resonate on an emotional level. 1/3

J. Y. Song@Critical_Scribe·
In the end, all I’m noticing is that people don’t like the terms “power scaling” and “world building” because they’re afraid it might make them sound nerdy, so they try and come up with words or concepts that do the exact same thing, but it sounds “more acceptable”. News flash, you’re still a nerd. That isn’t a bad thing. Rather than bend over backwards trying to gain acceptance from people who will still judge you regardless, just carry on with these terms like normal. There nothing wrong with being a nerd, there’s everything wrong with being insecure due to shallow perceptions.

@Critical_Scribe There is probably a middle ground that I am not fully aware of, but the people who I most often interact with are the comic book nerd-types, the lore-ists, the "script doctors" and I have observed they have a big blind spot that the other side is pointing out. 3/3

@Critical_Scribe Then, the comic book nerd-types turn around and attempt to retroactively justify their nostalgia or their preference of themes, "hope" has been a big one lately, with seemingly concrete and objective standards. 2/3

@ReelShiftJoe Darkness is not and was not the issue. Nihilism, depression, grimmness, sadness, or whatever bad "vibes" was never the problem. There is and has only ever been one and one problem only. Seriousness. You can be as dark as you want but if you are serious, they take you out back.

@Critical_Scribe I grew up as a 1 but have drawn closer to 2 in later years. I just don't get as much joy in the "what" but in the "why". Meaning, metaphor, symbols, themes and other esoterica is far more fulfilling to me then lore, easter eggs, or the outcome of things. 4/4

@Critical_Scribe One side says the other only cares about lore and patterns because it is more rewarding to track and it allows them to avoid their intuition. The other says that the former likes to stay in the realms of "themes and such" so that they cannot be disproven. 3/4
