(Anonymous) 2023-04-20 06:25 am (UTC)(link)1) Because there are a lot of enjoyable shows out there, but I also find fandom enjoyable too and am usually on the look out for a new source of fic. So sometimes I budget my time for shows that might get me a fandom out of it.
2) Also because frankly, OFMD appeals more because of the fandom than the concept. My overall impression watching the trailers was that it would be twee and intentionally cringe but not quite funny enough to be truly likeable as a standalone show for me. I actually watched the first episode after I made this secret and that largely held true (once again, for my tastes). I think I'll probably try the rest of it eventually, but I was not grabbed by the content alone.

(Anonymous) 2023-04-20 08:20 am (UTC)(link)If you started watching it while it was airing, you did so because it was a sort of twee dark comedy about pirates with some shippiness and stuff... and then the pirates actually kissed when no one really expected them to
But I think that probably is the most rewarding way to approach it - as a quirky comedy first, and a shippy fandom show second - so basically long story short I think you are making the right call and I support you

(Anonymous) 2023-04-20 09:53 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, and it IS cringe comedy, ngl. I think it's Taika's modus operandi
(still if you are interested in fandom experience I would recommend reading for other couples. There are a lot of them)

(Anonymous) 2023-04-20 10:42 am (UTC)(link)See, I loved Thor 3 and also loved Flight of the Conchords w/ Rhys Darby which is why I thought I'd love this. But I think the comedy is just not as on point for me.
I will see if any other couples appeal as I slowly make my way through it! (Though I won't make any promises because I am a basic bitch who is a slut for juggernaut ships)

(Anonymous) 2023-04-20 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)This secret reminded me that this is a funny and enjoyable show (Nigerian prince joke is absolutely hysterical. Also I still can't get over how funny costumes are), so I am being a bit on an advertising horse. Ironically I really don't like fandom and I've been ignoring it from the start :D
