Okay I wanna hear everyone’s take on what kind of “x thing happening for y minutes straight” content would be fun to get out of the adaptations

“Kelsier murdering nobles for x minutes straight”

“Adolin Kholin talking to his swords for x minutes straight”

“Hoid saying ominously weird things for x minutes straight”

Propaganda under the cut

The Wheel of Time:

It could have been great! I wasn't crazy about all of the changes, but it did have potential if they wanted to do it right (even with the changes). Alas, it was cancelled and so probably not planned out for the long run to be begin with anyways.

I wanna talk about the Icebreaker adaptation news and how people are kind of focusing on the WRONG things here.

So we all know that hockey romance is having a moment right now on television and with the popularity of Off Campus and the news of an Icebreaker TV show, Heated Rivalry fans have taken it upon themselves to point out that the hockey is probably the thing that contributed the least to the shows success (they’re not wrong btw).

The problem is that they’re forgetting one important thing: when news of a show’s production is hitting the news, it’s already been in the works for MONTHS.

Industry news is not the same as political news, studios are not obligated to release information to make the public aware. They pay whole publicity teams to tell them when the best time to release any piece of production news because they want to most engagement, to guarantee more eyes on production, so they can bank on large viewing numbers.

Studios are not sitting around copying each other’s homework, trend cycles (i.e. HOCKEY ROMANCE) exist outside of their producing power and they are often playing catch up to what being pitched to them.

The moral of this story is that we should uplifting media that decenter’s straight, cis men as their core audience rather than pit television shows against each other.

I’m watching (Howard) Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Baker Street Bachelors and I’ve been out of breath the entire time. This episode won’t let me relax.

So you know how Watson is always considered the ladies man? Well, he has to flirt with women for this case and it’s like the hardest thing he’s ever done.

Also Holmes is in jail for most of the episode which is a delight.
