Re: Petty vent....

[(Anonymous)]

I think of show creators and movie directors in promotion mode for their upcoming shows/seasons and movies as politicians making campaign promises. Some things are deliberate misrepresentations; some things are misleading; and some things I believe they actually want to do, but I know they can’t do all of them, so they have to know that. And it’s almost always presented as concrete, not that this is a point in their plan and could change as the whole thing evolves.

But what I hate the most are the outright lies. The ones after it’s already been written and filmed. You know the ones I mean: ‘No, that character is totally and completely dead. They are not coming back.’; ‘No, it has nothing to do with that character from the original thing.’; and ‘We stuck close to the thing it was based on.’. And just why? As soon as it premieres, people will know, and they will dislike you for the lie, even if they like what happens.

In regard to the crime trope, I feel like that at least has some foundation in real life (for law enforcement anyway), though I would say it's probably 90% men that actually talk to them. I would be surprised if they got useful information even 50% of the time, but some serial killers do seem to talk - I think they got a lot of information from the Green River Killer and BTK. Ted Bundy also talked a lot, but there was a fair amount of bullshit there. I actually feel like he is probably the reason the trope is so prevalent, because people talked to him so many times about his crimes and the crimes of others.

Yes to your first point - that is so VERY frustrating and infuriating. I hate that so much. Particularly when the changes made are more for titillation or some terror of something being too 'gay' or whatever. Maddening.

I think in the instance of those sk, it was only specific people that talked to them, you know? Never just random victims or some cop who caught a case that seems like it might have been them. I thought they pretty strictly limited the conversations to only select FBI. I'm no expert, though. I just hate the trope SO SO MUCH, and it's always played EXACTLY the same.
