Please no please no please no.
Originally I was just gonna make a meme ab this w a gif of that clown drinking and call it a night, but actually I’m more upset ab this then I realize so let’s talk ab it.
Assuming one season comes out per year (which, with this show, is a stretch) I will be 27 when this show hits its final seasons. I started watching it when I was 12. That is 15 YEARS. For perspective on just how long that is for a tv show, that’s just 8 years short on how long SpongeBob has been around. That show is on its 13th season, and we all know what capitalism did to it when it’s not even plot heavy.
Do. Not. Milk. This. Show.
Contrary to salters opinions, I don’t think it has been milked so far: it was always planned for five seasons and we are just hitting season 5. It only feels like milking bc it’s been so many years, but that’s only due to terrible scheduling and the infamous two year hiatus.
They later confirmed two more seasons, and while seven seasons was already a stretch bc it was, again, always planned to end with season 5, it can be maybe tolerated. Beyond that is just insanity.
I love this show a lot, ok. I know it has flaws but it’s been such a huge source of comfort for me (and I’m hyper fixated lmao). I don’t want to see it reduced to a soulless cash grab. Ik ZAG has always been motivated by money in a lot of ways, and that sometimes they peek their way into the show, I’m not naive, but the heart of the story still shines in that it is not ONLY motivated by money. You can see it in the way seasons continue to advance/get better (IMO) and in the way we are still in love with these characters after so long. Extending this show to season 7, when it was always supposed to end at 5, put it at risk of lower quality, but going past that solidifies it.
Don’t be fooled. They do NOT have ideas that go up to 12 seasons. They want to make money. Season 8 and beyond will only happen for money. Call me pessimistic but rarely do you see a show extended like this that ends up good. Miraculous deserves to end on a good note and I feel that will not happen if it continues down this route. I am a normal amount of upset rn I swear.
(Side note: salters DNI I am a salt free blog!! Even in the tags!!! I love this show, as previously stated. If you have your own opinions on the matter make your own post please and thank you <3)
Anyway, for all your effort in reading that here’s the clown gif anyway. Bc we all know it perfectly captures the situation, especially if you’ve been here as long as I have 💀
