Re: Creator/showrunner hate?

[intrigueing]

Showrunner hate? Apart from cases where a new showrunner who was NOT the creator takes a show in a direction I hate (*cough* stevenmoffatwhostalkingaboutstevenmoffat *cough*), I can't hate a creator without hating the show too. I'm always too keenly aware that they are responsible for the great stuff I see before me. I think my experience in ATLA fandom inoculated me against showrunner-hate because the people screaming at Bryke for everything they wrote and saying they didn't understand their own show irritated me so much.

However, I do often have a love-hate relationship with many creators.

My feelings towards Joss Whedon are a strange blend of fangirly adoration and gratitude and gleeful amusement on one hand, and deep-seated disgust, contempt, moral outrage, persistent disrespect, offendedness, and resentment on the other.

My feelings towards Russel T. Davies are similar, albeit a good deal milder. Have grown more and more appreciative of his overall work, while at the same time despising his idiot bits more and more intensely, over the years.

J.K. Rowling is one of those people who I greatly adored but could openly lol at for certain things, yet also has some lapses and blind spots that make me want to bang my forehead against the pages and yell "DID XYZ NOT OCCUR TO YOU?????" until it echoes back in time to when she was originally writing it.

Aaron Sorkin is a god. I make no apologies for this opinion. Unfortunately, he also makes me want to put my fist through the screen, past his characters, reach into the hypothetical space behind the image on the screen where I imagine authorial intent lies, and slap him in his smug asswipe face, all without even having to hear him saying anything not filtered through the characters.

And then there's Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, who I'm convinced don't give a shit about their characters anymore.
