i think theres a real problem with modern serial storytelling in long-running shows where as the fanbase of these shows grows to a frighteningly large influence in and of itself, the narrative of the show becomes increasingly reactive to that base.

like its not a bad thing for a show to respond to what the fans think. its actually very valuable! literally any creator can tell you that feedback is a critical part of the artistic process and thats one of the benefits of having a multi-season show as opposed to a limited series. but when the priority of a narrative stops being “what story do we want to tell” and starts becoming “what will shock and/or appease our audience” (so they can keep doing free advertising for us/make us more money), it immediately becomes a two-dimensional caricature of itself. and this abandons any emotional, philosophical, or thematic depth a piece of art could hope to have.

and the problem is that strategy works, until it doesnt! its genuinely scary how much their fanbases initially lean into this, further reinforcing the reduction. i have seen fans actively brag about how they negatively manipulated ratings for a more experimental episode, or how they feel secure that a show wont try anything new “at risk of upsetting the fans.” regardless of how satisfied one is in the short term, the long term consequences of this media engagement is depressing. no wonder so many bland cookie-cutter reboots keep getting greenlit. no wonder so many shows become repetitive, becoming little more than making fanfic scenarios for their paper doll characters to dance around in or kiss. artistic bankruptcy is profitable. riverdale, supernatural, stranger things, glee, the walking dead, any cw show honestly take your pick.

none of this is to say that schlocky tv is bad or immoral. whats entertaining is entertaining. but rewarding pandering leads to an industry built entirely on pandering and fanfic-bait, and even good shows devolving into an embarrassing mess.

we make a tv show with two arch nemesis who are obsessed with each other as they fight a battle of mind games with their unparalleled intellect, BUT we find another way to describe their complex dynamic than: “it’s a love story” OR we make it gay for real and go all the way and stand by that 2021 challenge

no more sub-text bullshit, PICK A SIDE

The Umbrella Academy watching Reginald treat a fucking cube better than he treated them:

[armandyke]

It’s so funny because rn I’m so devoted to Christopher C Hargreeves but you know the minute he inevitably makes Diego feel a singular negative emotion I’m gonna punt that fucking cube into the sun

[armandyke]

#chris isnt even gonna do it maliciously hes gonna make a poorly judged offhand comment#and diego himself will attempt to stab and/or punt the cube (via @haloyoustole)

Diego punches Christopher with his bare fist and is out of action for an entire episode due to broken hand bones

[myeyesviolet]

100% would love if Christopher had Mjolnir type qualities where he’s technically bending time and space around him and he’s an immovable pinpoint in the universe but it would be INFINITELY funnier if he was just incredibly light and went flying every time diego landed a punch

[armandyke]

AHKASKDJAH he goes full strength like he’s about to punch a brick wall and instead Christopher just bounces off his fist like a balloon and Diego eats total shit

[paleimitatorz]

(squishes him under my shoe like an insect)

[christopher-the-cube]

OBSESSED with Christopher not being one of the 43 because that would mean Reggie showed up with a floating cube one day like “this your new brother :)” and the sparrows went like “ok :)”
