On the one hand, you are correct about fandom overestimating its influence on canon. Not just this fandom, but fandom as a whole.

On the other hand, we live in a post-Korrasami world where anything can happen. I don't think there's ever been a period in fannish history where canonical pandering ran more rampant than it does now.

Yes, if the fans are lucky they will get a ambiguous sort of gay ending that TPTB TOTALLY swear was 100% gay because the show is over and they lose nothing.

Also, you really think a small show on Nick (wasn't the last season like...just online) is going to influence other studios?

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I don't think they're wrong.

Look at the newest Star Wars film -- it's pandering HARD to the original trilogy generation

[(Anonymous)]

That's because we are OWED. Lucas PROMISED us a decent followup to the Star Wars trilogy years before the awful prequels were made and we're still waiting.

(in case your sarcasm meter is bust, that was a joke.)

(Well, mostly. Lucas did swear blind he had the sequels written and locked in a vault just waiting for the cast to age up.)

Who are they going to pander too? There's a much wider variety of light-hearted entertainment now than in the late 1970s, I feel like the only new fans of SW are the ones converted by the Original Trilogy fans. Don't see why a teen/young adult who never cared about SW would start caring now.

What the hell does Legend Of Korra have to do with Sleepy Hollow though?

Anon I was referring to said that anything is possible because Korrasami (a show that has a tiny audience and very little influence on anything whose fan influence amounts to the most ambiguous ending ever) can somehow affect a show like Sleepy Hollow,

Disney isn't making them to pander to fans. They are making them to make money. Had Disney not acquired the rights, there would be no Star wars movie right now.

Woot! I am the original Trilogy generation. But I don't know where the pandering lies in the new films. Is it because the original actors have small parts? Is it because the movie will have a plot? Because Tatooine? What?! I need more details.

It's not that I think TLoK will influence other studios all by itself. The last-episode canon gay in that show is just one of the more blatant examples of a trend that becomes more prominent every year.

Like it or not, modern showrunners are more likely to listen to what their fandoms want than they would have been a decade or so ago.

Korrasami was pandering? Where did this come from? I thought they had been playing with the idea from the beginning but didn't think it would fly originally.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, creators lie all the time, blah, blah, blah. But of Bryke were into fandom pandering, Zutara would have been end-game in the original series.

[(Anonymous)]

Korrasami was blatantly pandering. They defended their Makorra choice hard in the first season, even going so far as to say they were 'meant for each other' in commentary. Fast forward to , 'lol NO, We ALWAYS shipped Korrasami! Like totally before any of you guys even knew who she was! Anyone who doesn't see the totally always Korrasami has heterolenses!" You don't try that hard after the fact if you aren't looking to pander.

[(Anonymous)]

Way to completely misinterpret their words.


Bryke said Korrasami was an idea they bounced around when Asami was designed. They never intended for it to be canon at the beginning but it ended up growing on them as the seasons progressed.
The heterolenses comment was directed at people who didn't see anything between the two AFTER seasons 3 and 4 when they did start putting hints in.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the people outside of that fandom also overestimate its influence on everything else. You might be surprised to find out that the majority of the TV-watching population doesn't know what the hell "Korrasami" is, and they don't care.
