Someone on X compared the latest Zayne chapter to a "SatoSugu KFC level breakup" and now I can't stop thinking about it

Something was just pointed out to me in a Reddit topic about the Digimon Adventure reboot.

It's generally no secret by now that the reboot isn't very well liked among the Digimon fandom. With often cited reasons being the bad pacing, the lack of notable characterization on each of the reboot's versions of the original 8 DigiDestined/Chosen Children to the point where they could be seen as "sanitized" versions, too edgy, no character development, the old voice actors both English and Japanese didn't reprise their roles nor did any of the voice actors actually hired tried to sound like the originals, and just overall stale, without creativity, and just exists to be a commercial.

I went onto a Reddit topic expressing dislike towards the Digimon Adventure reboot, finding some of the same sentiment there.

And in that topic, I had made a comment where I had pretty much noted that I remembered hearing that someone from the AniPoké XY staff had worked on it. I was responded to that comment by someone who said that the someone in question is the lead writer for AniPoké XY. In other words, Atsuhiro Tomioka. Looked it up to confirm just minutes ago as of writing this.

And yes. It's THAT Atsuhiro Tomioka.

The guy who was on the writing team for AniPoké ever since the Indigo League days, and had managed to become the lead writer from Diamond and Pearl to XY.

My thoughts in regards to hearing this pretty much amounted to "no wonder why the Digimon Adventure reboot sucked! Toei brought that hack into their showrunning staff!" However, none of the people I interacted with on that topic so far seem to be aware of how much of a hack he is.

Now, I will admit. This doesn't necessarily prove anything about some personal thoughts I've had regarding the portrayals of certain characters, particularly the portrayals of certain characters in AniPoké (an example being a certain French girl, also Ash during the DP and XY eras), and how any other character given similar if not identical portrayals would be pretty much hated in fandoms outside of the AniPoké fandom. But it does help substantiate those same thoughts. At any rate, I kinda find the sheer dissonance between the fandoms of the properties Tomioka had a hand in interesting and at the same time concerning. Especially since the AniPoké fandom, particularly the periphery audience, loves Tomioka's work, while the Digimon fandom, also that franchise's periphery audience in particular, hates it. If only there was a cut and dry reason for that dissonance. Maybe I'll never know that reason. Who can tell at this point?

Yet another Fandom Comparison:

Merlin and Nick Miller being absolutely unable to lie or else their bodies betray them and shut everything down

Rewatching the original X-Men movies made me even more disappointed in the casting of Johnny Depp as Grindelwald... who is really the “Magneto” to Dumbledore’s “Professor X” of the Wizarding World. Like... this archetype can be done--has been done so much better. Depp is not going to pull it off. :( He’s too weird, and doesn’t have an ounce of McKellen’s charismatic draw to the “dark side”.

Time for another weird af fandom comparison!!!

(Spoilers ahead)

This time it’s the well meaning protagonist who gradually morphs into the antagonist of the series. They cover their tracks by spinning webs of lies and eventually realize that what started off as k*lling morally bad people began to snowball…and they actually enjoy the thrill of it and hiding it from everyone around them. They’ve become an insatiable monster who has their priorities backwards and an appetite for power and dominance

Comparing the stats of my most hits (most read?) fics in each of my fandoms is wild!

I mean i know that the One Piece fandom is likely bigger but still 😳
