low-key feel like I'm losing my mind not liking arcane S1 and every single fucking person in my life saying it's the greatest show ever written

And like yeah it's interesting in some places and has unique ideas and the characters are fun but like it never delivers on any themes in a satisfying why and doesn't actually say very much at all and misses so many opportunities for character development that would help the story feel organic and real instead of rushed and like they're just Tryna hit plot points that ultimately fall flat cos there was no build up or development to make them have any weight!!!! Am I the only person who thinks this????

Like I'm not even mad people like it, my friends love shows I don't and vice versa but I feel so fucking confused with people saying it's amazing and I'm honestly not seeing it?

It's gorgeous to look at but that's the most impressive thing about it and honestly!!! A story that is just pretty pictures is not a story that is an art book and brother I am tired of pretty pictures with no substance!!!!!!

I still haven't seen S2 but honestly I feel like all the problems it had stem from S1 being what it is and I am. God I'm confused and kind of upset about not getting it???? Like I wish I could just think it's amazing and see what everyone else is seeing but I don't and I feel so stupid for it like!!! What am I missing!! Am I just a big stupid cynic who's too intellectual to enjoy things anymore??? Am I too politically engrossed and care too much about the real world to turn off my brain for a bit??? Am I a stupid little hater??? I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE AND ITS REALLY MESSING WITH ME!!!!

#catfish speaks #im so distressed #i really wish id watched rhe show when it dropped cos i feel like i woulda found critical fans and engaged with that side of it #discussinf media is one of my favourite pasttimes im sure it would gave crossed mt dash at some point #but god no it seems to have this Rosy memory in everyone's heads and im. i feel really upset not seeing it #like part of me is so angry people don't like it more like ARE YOU DUMB???#and thats not true cos mt friend's are all very very intelligent and good ag analysing media #so it can be that #so maybe. im the dumb one #i feel left out and somewhat ignored and idk how to say i didnt like it actually #part of it is. everyone loves it. and so they assume i loved it too #but no one actually *asked* what i thought at all #and im chronically bad at sayijg i disagree with someone especially my loved ones #so like. i just sit there and think am i fucking crazy????#its. really isolating actually #yeah i cojld blame this on my pmdd and that's probably part of it #but also. no actually. im not brushing my feelings under anymore. im upset ans hurt and frustrated.#anyway #if you have thoughts about s1 being mid/bad. please takk to me i beg you #if you wanna argue ill just block you don't fuckinf bother im in such a Fucking mood
