Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9597909" data-attributes="member: 18">LOL what are you talking about?Witcher died because the star quit, bro. He quit to try and do a movie that didn't happen.She-Hulk was an MCU show that I'm not sure was ever intended to definitely have multiple seasons. Has any MCU show had multiple seasons? By your logic "WandaVision died" for the same reasons!Willow didn't have a hardcore audience. That was part of the problem lol. I mean, I guess that kind of supports your point but not in the way you think.With Star Wars, the prequel trilogy caused the "hardcore fans" to want to loathe Star Wars, and basically to want to burn their Star Wars stuff (remember the classic Spaced episode?), but contrary to your logic, it was completely successful in generating an entire new generation of SW fans, many of who didn't see the OT until later. Whether the sequel trilogy will do the same remains unknown, and won't be know for maybe probably 10 years.Amazon's LotR is badly written, but I'm not sure it's "not for hardcores". It's not really for anyone, I'd suggest. But it's very obsessed with deep Tolkien lore. You need to explain how it's "not for hardcores".Star Trek Discovery was relatively successful, and Strange New Worlds is even more successful. Both bridge "hardcore" and newer audiences, as does the very successful Lower Decks.Indiana Jones is a direct counter-example to your own point. I am astonished that you included it.Also "appeased casual minority audiences"? EXCUSE ME? That sounds awfully like calling them "woke" as a pejorative and I'm pretty sure that's not okay. Do you want to clarify what "casual minority" audiences are maybe? It just sounds a bit racist/sexist mate. Surely that's not what you meant? Especially seems dodgy because you chose a very loaded negative word "appeased", like these audiences are Hitler.The rest is mostly subjective nonsense too. "Trashed the lore". You know what "Trashed the lore" of Star Trek? Both the Mandalorian and Andor have, and funny, you don't seem mad about either of those. I think the lore gets "trashed" whenever you don't like it, and it's fine whenever you do, so that's the ultimate in subjectivity.</blockquote>
