(Anonymous) 2023-08-19 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)Hollywood saw at conventions and online how fans reacted to and interacted with "plothole *ding!*" bitch-fests and thought, "We should listen to the fans," and now it's like an arms race to "do it right" by listening to the fans.
But I think if we take a step back, we're just feeding into people's bad faith takes on media. And studios/powers that be are so focused on "proving" how much they are listening to the fans that they aren't allowing creatives to prove that they can create great works.
Just like issues with diversity in media, it feels a lot more like like checking off a list rather than honoring an attempt at great art/storytelling.
