since we're all gonna die i have something to share with you all. i did not care for the mandela catalogue
#speak friend and enter#i keep seeing stuff about it and i really like analog horror as a medium but. idk it insists upon itself#like i loved local 58 and petscop and i really like gemini home entertainment but i feel like mc could've been better#it's a super strong concept that was very well executed in the beginning but as it's gone on....idk i feel like it kinda fell apart#the gabriel/lucifer thing was super cool and the alternate concept is really interesting but imo it doesn't live up to the hype#i feel like the scale got away from it y'know. like it became too big plot-wise too quickly and lost a lot of the stuff that made it good#like there's a saying in screenwriting that goes 'if you start out screaming you've got nowhere left to go' and i think that applies#bc it starts out SO impactfully and that in and of itself isn't a bad thing but like. how do you ramp up from that and keep the impact#i also feel like it's indirectly responsible for the analog horror boom that imo has kinda killed the genre via oversaturation#and that's not the creator's fault ofc it's just bad luck but i feel like every new project takes its cues from mc and it's like. really?#like mc has great ideas dgmw but there are in fact other ideas out there that could work for an analog horror story#anyway i hope they're able to end it in a way that wraps it up logically and in a narratively satisfying way#and i hope the creator doesn't feel pressured to keep going with it just for the notoriety. like don't simpsons this thing
