A quick note I'm gonna pin (there is a TLDR for those that think it's too long)
A wonderful amount of critters is so nice and supportive and very chill in explaining things. *Holds y'all gently* This does not apply to you.
I don't want people private messaging me or leaving messages in my asks (tells? Whatever it's called) telling me that Campaign 3 isn't their best work/fake/scattered if all you have watched is the abridged version.
A lot of their bonding is actually whittled down. A lot of their fights and conversations in/out of battle are also cut/whittled down. Some of it is there, but it's bare bones. I was originally going to watch it that way but FOMO hit me and I'm so glad it did.
The three confused asks I got referencing specific scenes I mentioned (two of which I removed because I wasn't sure if I was the problem) made me go look for the specific scenes in the abridged version. And guess what? They weren't there.
You are of course entitled to your opinions, no argument from me on that. BUT, a lot of the issues people seem to have with Bells Hells that I've noticed (continuity, same arguments, going in circles, lack of bonding) are actually resolved when they're not boiled down to the gist of it. They keep what is essential and unfortunately all the content isn't considered essential. I just want people to consider the fact that yes, Cr3 Abridged is great when you don't have 4 hours to spend, but considering that it is at least 3.5 to 4 hours of content reduced to an hour, be aware that you are missing things. Things that aren't that important to the central plot but are important between characters and are explanations for their actions.
Cr 1 and Cr 2 dont get the same kind of comments (altho I've seen some that are just... Distasteful) and I believe that it's largely the fact that there aren't abridged versions of them. You get to either watch it all, or fan made versions that the fans believe are important (which is more content than Cr leaves in for abridged).
There is no need to shit on people watching it for the first time if it isn't what you like, there are 2 whole other campaigns and a new campaign for you to follow and be positive about.
TL;DR - Don't be an ass about the content of Cr3, a lot is missing from the abridged version. Your opinions are yours to have but if it's content issues, be aware that CR removes most things that aren't pushing the story forward or essential charachter development, you miss all the things in between that make it all make sense.
