#Anti netflix

[icedsodapop]

Yall wtf did you mean Netflix didn't pay the Squid Game creator his residuals?? Fuck Netflix honestly...

He also doesn't get paid for Squid Game being an intellectual property, so he doesnt earn shit from merchandise:

(I've been trying to resist for 9 whole hours, but I cannot. Please allow me this one short whiny post.)

- Kate and Anthony got no on-screen courtship or wedding.

- We didn't get to see them on either of their honeymoons or see them find out they are pregnant or have the baby.

- Their pregnancy announcement was cut off.

- They left for India off screen with zero fanfare. (And this constant abdication of their responsibilities goes against the very core of who these characters are.)

I could go on, but I'm trying to keep this short. Netflix knew exactly what they were doing with all the Kate and Anthony promos leading up to this season. Purposeful false advertising. They had approximately 16 minutes of screen time after being the second most promoted characters after this season's stars.

I'll still love Kate and Anthony forever and will come back for any cameos in the future, and Simone and Jonny somehow managed to still be perfect despite the shittiest of shitty writing 👏🏾👏🏾

But Netflix and Shondaland can fuck off for the blatantly dishonest marketing.

(OK, that's all.)

yeah yeah. i hear ya.

Me looking at the alternate universe where none of my favourite shows got cancelled by greedy OTT platforms..

[mingus-archives]

Also incredibly homophobic of netflix to cancel the one (fictional) show that both Trixie and Katya have genuinely adored in like the past few years

I almost WANT zutara to become a canon in NATLA. in a show that completely destroyed Katara's character, and turned Zuko, a complex and tragic character, into a pale and boring version of a poor, offended boy. Kataang really has nothing to lose if it is not going to be a canon in this dull school play with bad costumes and makeup, Katara with her real character chose Aang, and nothing will change that (just like the canon well-written Zuko chose Mai). if zutara will happen in NATLA, and the zutarians accept it, it would really finally demonstrate to everyone how they treat the real Zuko and the real Katara and how they actually "respect" their characters

[shifuaang]

Netflix Aang doesn't save Kyoshi Island because Kyoshi herself does that, doesn't save the Senlin Village from Hei Bai, doesn't save Makapu from the volcano because 'The Fortuneteller' was cut, doesn't get his friends out of Bumi's trap because they were busy incesting it up in the Cave of Two Lovers, doesn't resolve any differences between warring tribes, doesn't help the refugees at the Northern Air Temple liberate themselves because they live in Omashu now for some reason, doesn't stand up to Pakku and teach Katara waterbending in secret, and doesn't even attempt to waterbend at all.

What an insult to Aang as a character and what an insult to Book 1 to say they needed to "make his narrative drive clearer" and then have him do absolutely nothing in the live action. Aang wasn't just running around "looking for adventures" - he was forming meaningful connections with characters who all came back to help him in some way or another because he inspired them, he supported them, he freed them, etc. He was learning how to navigate the landscape of a world that was hugely politically and socially different than the one that he grew up in, and he did so by interacting with people from all across the globe.

It's also such a disservice to the other characters to give Aang so little influence and agency. Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors left their home because they were inspired by the Gaang's tenacity and bravery. People who had formally isolated themselves for a century came out of hiding and joined the war efforts because of Aang. Having Kyoshi herself be the one to save the island takes away the meaningfulness of Suki seeing kids her age doing something to combat the war. And this is just one example of Aang's leadership and impact as the Avatar, an air nomad honoring his culture, and an all around charming and likable kid. How pathetic is it that Netflix doesn't understand their main character at all?

Oh, you wanted more bad news out of NATLA that shows that they have no idea what they’re doing?

Well, look no further!

Here’s them acting like they care about representation for blind/low vision actors and then just casting someone who isn’t anyway:

Here’s their very detailed analysis of the purpose of the show going into the second season:

Wow that’s crazy that the live action show is going to have live action versions of the story in the animation! Very insightful! What else is there to say?

Wait, there were brilliant plans from Sokka in Book 1 of NATLA? Katara was actually in Book 1 too? I thought that was just a cardboard cutout of her in the background of some shots!

In all seriousness, what the actual fuck is going on here? “Aang will learn a new form of bending or two” yeah only because you literally had more screen time than the original did and spent all that time shoving in random references to prove you saw the old show while completely butchering the characters and story to the point where you couldn’t fit Aang learning waterbending in. What a fucking joke.

And the slide of “there’s no war in Ba Sing Se” in here just to do the same thing? Are we really just using out of context quotes from the original show to prove credibility in adaptation here? Is that really the extent they can go to say they honor the original? Are they so incapable of coming up with new, interesting details to add that they’re just resorting to putting memorable quotes in places where they make no sense? Guess we know these new showrunners will stay consistent with the original one.

Why in God’s name is anyone looking forward to this. Please please please let this nightmare end.

I’m telling you, keeping the fandom alive can absolutely bring a cancelled show back.

When Fox cancelled Brooklyn Nine Nine, everyone on twitter constantly made posts about how much they love the show and would do anything to get another season. When NBC saw the support that Brooklyn Nine Nine got, they picked the show back up (in fact, a fan was allowed to play a major character in an episode).

Dead End Paranormal Park can come back. Infinity Train can come back. Mao Mao Heroes of Pure Heart can come back. Inside Job can come back. Close Enough can come back.

All your favorite shows that were cancelled can still come back. We, the fans, can help. If you have the ability to watch the show legally please do. If you have an idea for a fanfiction, please write it. Showing continuous love and support actually goes a long way.

[artemisravencourtney]

My heart jumped in joy about Inside Job trending rn only to find out it's all like minded people who are still upset about it being cancelled. Y'all gave me so much hope for a second 😭😭

I have so many thoughts on arcane season 2, both things I loved and didn't about it, and I think all of it simply comes down to the show needing a third season as its final season. If I'm remembering correctly, one of the writers said the show was only two seasons because they didn't wanna risk Netflix canceling it before getting the chance to finish the story. Again, I could be misremembering, but this does feel like a pretty valid concern considering how Netflix handles even their most successful shows, which Arcane clearly is (Netflix being awful is another rant entirely, and I do find it very telling that those behind Arcane felt they had to fit the entire narrative into a constrained structure just to make sure they completed it).

I think there was enough success surrounding Arcane to make it three seasons long, a narrative structure which would have clearly (and intentionally) reflected the already established three-act structure per season. All storylines would have had time to marinate throughout the second season to ultimately come to gratifying conclusions by the end of the third season. I think this would have included more necessary character interactions (how do Vi and Ekko react after Jinx "dies"? Does Vi stay in Piltover because Caitlyn is there, or does she stay in Zaun with Ekko, the last of her family, while still maintaining a relationship with Cait? Does he tell her about his time in the alternate universe, and what could have been even though she was not a part of it, and who Powder became? How do Vi and Sevika regard each other in the battle's aftermath, especially now that Sevika has not only become a Councilmember but has taken the Kiramman seat? What does the relationship between Zaun and Piltover look like after the battle? How do people, especially Caitlyn, react to losing Jayce and Viktor, as well as Mel now that she appears to have taken over the Medarda fleet? How does Mel feel after losing them and the rest of her family, all while grappling with this new relationship to magic she has? There's a million more questions I could ask just like these and, unfortunately, we'll never have answers in the context of Arcane unless the writers come forward and provide them, and even then it's unfortunately not the same).

I could go on, and maybe I will at some point, but this was just a long way of saying that Arcane should have had three seasons for many, many reasons. While I enjoyed season 2, and will always love Arcane, and will watch it all again at some point, I firmly believe three seasons were definitely necessary.

The way Netflix has us so paranoid that good shows are going to get cancelled after their first season so we don't watch them at all to the point Neil Gaiman's stuff is on the line. Netflix done messed up.

[starlight-bread-blog]

As a Zutarian I actually don't ship Zutara in the live action. I don't ship anything. They're not Zuko and Katara. No one is who they're supposed to be. The only thing I'm rooting for is this atrocity getting cancelled and buried in the hall of nothing called Netflix.

So when I see this:

I'm just confused as to why is this here. They're not gonna be endgame, obviously. So why does Zuko just casually gently trace his hand on Katara's scarf? It doesn't serve any purpose and it's weird.

[the-oddest-inkling]

It's hating Netflix for cancelling Lockwood & Co and Shadow and Bone hour

[sticksthesecond]

holy shit every single time i see those lists of cancelled netflix shows, i can’t help but notice how queer they are. Shadow and Bone is just another in a long list - several of its main characters are queer, there’s even some on-screen gay relationships (rip wesper and tamadia, you deserved better!!)

but it’s not the only one. I am not okay with this? Great show, so much potential, but oh no! the main character's into girls! Ofc it didn’t get another season. everything sucks? another show with a major wlw relationship and queer characters that got cancelled

the society? 1899? i can just imagine how good they could’ve been if I they’d had more seasons to work with. but again, it had a couple of lgbtq characters, so i should know by now that it wasn’t going to happen.

obviously not every queer show gets cancelled, and it’s not necessarily just bc they are queer, but i can’t help but sense a pattern. at this point it’s just sad.
