[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9411672, member: 6684958"] I think a problem people have is that they find joy on something, but then quickly dump it as they feel they "must" find "new joy" in something else....for some reason. If you like some small section of an IP, then just let that bring you joy. Sure they will make 100 of bad stuff of the IP....but just ignore it: you have your Point of Joy. This is a lesson you learn quick as a kid if you read comics. As a kid you will find comics you like with a good writer(and art if you care about that). And in Ye Old Days, writers tended to stay on comics for years. But even then they moved on. Sometimes the new writer was good or ok......but very often they were bad. You would still like the character, but you could never read the new scribbles. So you stop buying it, and just reread the old ones you have. The same is true for TV shows....like how many shows 'jump' into a bad season or reboot or whatever. And this has gone on forever. Battlestar Glatacia was a good show...and then, somehow, they made Glatacia 1980. The Real Ghostbusters was great, until it became The Slimer Show. Or the 80's Buck Rogers 2nd season. And more modern shows like Lost, Game of Thrones or Doctor Who. And even if you are a big fan, you will never like every show or movie in an IP. If your a OS Star Trek fan, how much do you like Spock's Brain? If your a TNG Star Trek fan, is Shades of Gray your favorite? If your a Bond fan, have you liked every Bond movie? Every Godzila movie? So just find your Point of Joy and stick with it. [/QUOTE]
