no offense but with all the uptick of posts i'm seeing from people hoping eathspark series two will be 'darker' or 'more complex', this seems like a good time to gently remind people: earthspark is aimed at six year olds and upwards, through the solidly pre-teen target demo. it is going to continue to be extremely 'teach very young kids Good Morals' the entire time. earthspark isn't even for older kids really, it is for young children. if you find earthspark difficult to watch because of how simplistic, wholesome and morally straightforward it is much of the time, this is likely to be less a failing of the show and more a completely reasonable disinterest in watching children's TV as a full grown adult! but mostly just... don't get your hope up s2 is magically going to turn into a show for adults, because that absolutely isn't gonna happen, sorry.

#and i mean. there's stuff 'for kids' in the sense of tweens/teens #see: something like Prime mostly #which a lot of adults can still enjoy #and then there's what ES is doing which. i didn't pull the six year old thing outta thin air!#prior to airing when it was originally announced- they specified it was for a six and up demographic in the press releases #i saw an unfavourable comparison to ARCANE recently and like. that is a show for grown adults. that's not a fair comparison.#(sidnote: i love ES! i also like. enjoy kids' stuff for what it is generally. so it's just not a big barrier for me. shrug.)
