[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8352442, member: 177"] Sure. And, I'm the sort that discussing the discussion is part of the enjoyment for me. :) If the show's ostensibly a cooking competition, is its complete lack of dance content a valid point? I guess I can't say you [I]shouldn't[/I] be bugged by lack of tango in the Great British Baking Show... but maybe if you are bugged by it, that's less about the show than it is about the viewer? When a show is produced and set in 21st century America, and the main male character is a sexist pig who should be the star example in human resources videos on sexual harassment, one of the female characters literally punches him in the face for it, and the character doesn't change and it is continued to be [I]played for laughs[/I], I think it valid to be bugged by that. The show could do better. When it is a cartoon set in a world in which a guy raising his magic sword (no imagery, there, no sir, not at all) turns him into a loincloth wearing barbarian hero with anatomically questionable levels of musculature, it is perhaps not really the show's fault that it bugged you on that point. It isn't like it misled you about what it would contain, did it? Moreover, would that have [I]improved[/I] the show for you if they did it? They had seconds to talk about it, and it was going to destroy the world, but let's take some time to talk about [I]safety[/I]? Maybe as a genre-breaking joke that might work, I guess. But that sounds more appropriate for a satire show, like, say Lower Decks, than for this. [/QUOTE]
