you ever think about how tentpole fandoms from 00s-2010s shows with huge followings that are going strong even now would just not exist if they were made in this day and age
#ara rambles#just. in this environment. i doubt even juggernaut fandoms like spn and merlin would even exist#like. so many shows had mid first seasons and it was *fine* because they were given time to grow#the fuckin cw verse never had a single good season in its entire existence and it still spawned dctv only fans#who are a behemoth and completely removed from the rest of the dc fandom#*all* of merlin's seasons were mid and it still got 5 of them#spn was supposed to end at s5 and got ten more seasons after that#aos season 1 and the first half of s2 were pretty boring but it got to 7 seasons#fucking riverdale!!!!#umbrella academy and stranger things feel like the last gasp of this kind of culture#and they're all drawn out and are dying terrible deaths#we're four years into the 2020s folks are there even *any* big fandom shows that isn't fighting for its life#what? house of the dragon and rings of power?#idk if those count cause house of the dragon is drawing from got power which is kind of a different space from the rest of fandom culture#and uh.... imma be real.... i barely hear anything about rings of power#i guess iwtv is the last survivor and i think it's telling that it's the only one not on a big streaming site!!!!#wait. i forgot bridgerton. yeah. bridgerton is basically the only big fandom show rn. don't know how it made it this far tbh.
