Canon Rant Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Is the canon for whatever you're currently obsessed with heading in a direction you don't like? Do have any grievances about already finished media that really you want to get off your chest? Feel free to rant away.

Oooh, what happened? Not in this fandom but I'm curious.

Everything about Bones the last couple of seasons. It went from one of my favorite shows to a show I can't even bring myself to watch anymore and that actively makes me mad half the time I do watch it.

I am just sad about how SPN's canon turned into shit. Just a big mess of unresolved plotlines or plotlines we have seen over and over and over. And heaven forbid they actually have a bit of continuity.

Every time I hear news about the Superman/Batman film and how it might lead to a possible Justice League film, I want to take the people at DC aside and say "Guys, stop. Your track record with live-action films is shit, and nothing you do is ever ever going to top the MCU. Why don't you focus on producing more stuff like the Justice League cartoon? That was fun."

Two I can think of. I've been watching Doctor Who since the revival, but after last year's season, I was skeptical about the 50th anniversary special and ended up quite disliking it, didn't bother with the Christmas special, and honestly, probably won't watch it until Moffat leaves.

The other is Legend of Korra - the last few episodes of book 1 went downhill pretty sharply, especially Endgame, and book 2 started out as a hot mess. I think I stopped watching after episode five?

Doctor Who I can live with, since, well, it's lasted fifty years, Moffat won't be around forever, but Korra is kind of upsetting. It had SO MUCH POTENTIAL...

Vikings continues to look really cool and have great fight scenes, but uneven writing and pacing.

Dammit, show.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[comradesmiler]

I actually gave Terrahawks a try... It has potential, and I like the SFX, Mary Falconer and the zeroids, (Also Zelda) but it's really a lot of wasted potential.

I thought the ds9 finale was stupid. The episode right before that was awesome and then they fucked it up. They fucked up Ziyal's entire existence and then they gave Damar a really unsatisfying death scene. He deserved better. I don't even know what Sisko and Dukat were all about. The religious aspect of it was really over the top and kinda heavy-handed. And the flashback montage was irritating and went on for way too long.

I didn't like how Genevieve was handled in The Parasol Protectorate. I think I've ranted about that before here. Luckily, my favorite character is Ivy, and her ending was fantastic.

Much as I love Scruffington and Barbossa, Pirates of the Caribbean worked better as one movie.

Oh, Naruto, where do I even begin with you? I'll just rant about current events that are pissing me off. Spoilers obviously

So basically the in the last chapter, Gai arrived and is about to open the Eight Gates and basically he's going to die after using them since that's what happens after you use them. Either that he or he will die fighting Madara.

Anyway, while I hate the fact he's probably going to die but what bugs me the most is that his death is more than likely going to be completely fucking pointless. He's not Naruto or fucking Sasuke there's no chance in hell of him beating Madara and with how overpowered the fucker is, Gai opening and using the Eight Gates won't help him deal much damage. And Kakashi is going to lose yet another person that's important to him.

Sword Art Online had so much potential, but season 1 was paced way too quickly to be climactic at the end. At least it was interesting, though I was shocked at the waste, and Azusa (the girl?) kind of being cool but mostly being embarrassing and moe. Then season 2, I ragequit like four episodes in, and that took discipline to get that far. Still mad about it, even though this was like two years ago, because I was so enamored with the concept. The first episode blew me away. It even had gay implications with Kotetsu's VA. Whyyyy did you suckkkkk, whyyy

I have never, ever forgiven Remington Steele for the half-hearted shit that was the last season. So Brosnan was cast as Bond--either let him go or go out with a bang, none of this crappy waffling around.

(Moonlighting Syndrome is nonsense, btw. What kills shows is dumbass writers thinking that the fun character dynamic should disappear now that the main twosome are together, or that you can't have interesting contrasts and conflicts without the two being in open battle)

Fucking Voyager coulda been SO GOOD. I still like it, but the worship of Star Trek status quo kept it from going really fascinating places. (they've been stranded away from all support for years, why is everything still so CLEAN?? just to start)

I binge-watched all of Eureka recently after only watching the first rwo and a half seasons "live" before giving up. I wish to punch all of the writers for Zane's existence, and then to punch all of them again for his and Allison's constant bitchiness over the fact that Jo and Carter's computer simulation counterparts got together in a world where they were missing and presumed dead.

I started watching this show last night. The look of the show is charming, the characters are nice, the story line is up my alley, the opening song is really cool. Then the brother character started acting weird about the sister character and I see in the episode synopses that a plot point is that they're not blood relatives. That kind of thing always pisses me off because it assumes that only blood relatives can have familial connections so of coooourse adopted brother & sister would have UST. What the hell is that logic? I'm thinking about quitting while I'm ahead.

Legal Drug. I was so happy to hear that Clamp would be continuing the story, but the latest chapters took a turn to Shitville and now it seems to be on hiatus, again. Looks like I'll be jumping off at this point.

Dexter. Why, oh why, did I watch it to the end? Just about everything after Rita's death made me roll my eyes and the finale just evoked a WTF reaction out of me. I seriously didn't know whether to cry or laugh when they showed where Dexter ended up.

Walking Dead. I quit watching, because it doesn't seem to be heading in any direction.

In Teen Wolf the whole concept of Alpha pack seemed so stupid that I quit after season 2.

Rukia did not deserve a bankai. I'm not saying she should never get it, but for her to have it now makes absolutely NO sense.

She just spent what...a week?...in the royal realm getting stronger, which lead to her finding out that her sword's essential nature and attack abilities are different than what she's believed so far. Like Renji, her sword was holding back on her. If she just achieved her real shikai (and in her own words doesn't have complete control of it yet) there's no way she should have also got her bankai in the same short period of time.

And also, Rukia didn't NEED it. Up till now her skills have been shown to be average - she scored well in school but got a reality check when she joined a squad and saw the real difference in skill and technique. She worked hard to get stronger. She trained with Kaien and later Byakuya to advance her skills. She was an average officer who got very good by being genuinely dedicated to honing the skills she had.

I can believe any increase in power in Ichigo because he's a weird hybrid and also a kind of genius at physical combat and strategy/tactic on the battlefield. I can believe Renji's increase in power because his sword had already allowed him a limited bankai that he trained with for years before this. Byakuya was already a captain and shown to be powerful. But I just can't believe it of Rukia. I just can't believe that she would get her bankai in the same week as she got her real shikai that she can't control entirely yet.

She should have just had a whole arc through the rest of the manga of perfecting her shikai and getting bankai at the end (if she had to have it at all, which I think she really didn't). I WANTED that to be what happened with her. For her to be a contrast to Ichigo and the others rocketing ahead in power by showing the better mastery and precision one can have going about things the slow and proper way.

Downton Abbey. Uuuuh spoilers for Season 4 I guess, although I think all of it has aired in the US.

Edith's surprise pregnancy and then her giving birth and handing it off offscreen and I just... Surprise pregnancy plots on TV just make me roll my eyes hard at this point, especially the way this was handled.

Does it count if I'm ranting about there not being enough canon? Fifteen years later, my dad and I are still bitter about there only being one season of Brimstone!

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[cbrachyrhynchos]

As a way to squeeze yet another ounce of shit out of the dead rat that's X-Men cinema, they're doing Days of Future Past.

Why do I object to Days of Future Past? It's the equivalent of the Temporal Cold War in the Star Trek Universe, an idea that would have been great as a one-shot repeatedly dragged out and retconned into current continuity rather like Bernie. It's the kind of time-travel story that makes you want to go back to kill Hitler to prevent Marvel comics from publishing time-travel mutant holocaust stories. Unlike Doctor Who that delivers a few minutes of bafflegab and get on with it, it's a time-travel narrative that invites its authors to explain how the time-travel works getting caught in a briar patch of incoherent contradictions with a half-dozen messiahs springing from the loins of a character who grows more tedious with each passing decade.

And they can't use Kevin Bacon in the most fashionable submarine in history anymore.

I'm very very new to the lore in WoW in general, but reading up on Jaina Proudmoore and how she was through out the game until MoP (and her relationship with Thrall that had i been into the game much MUCH earlier, would have been my OTP), her character and possible future canon is very very disconcerting. :C

Once Upon a Time and HOOK GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM EMMA.

That's it currently.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[darkmanifest]

I'm still wondering if travesty that was DmC really did manage to kill off the Devil May Cry franchise for good, or if we'll get a return to the original canon or a sequel to the reboot. I also wonder if maybe I'd put up with more of that reboot to keep the overall series alive a little longer. I've loved it for so long...though everything I loved about it is completely missing from its new canon, so maybe it's better that it dies. I dunno. A plague of ants on whoever decided to reboot it in the first place.

GUILD WARS 2. This game just keeps on breaking my heart...and not in a good way. The story sucks ass.

No matter how much I complain about it, it will never change the fact that they ruined the lore for the highly acclaimed original. I don't think I will ever get over that.

Re: Canon Rant Thread

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

The only thing that does not manage to be wrong with 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons in general and Forgotten Realms in particular is that from what I have read, Mystra has a chance of coming back.

In their attempt to streamline everything, WotC killed of a pile of deities, deleted some interesting races, changed the whole concept of others, traded around race names so the name of some obscure but cool races they deleted are now tacked onto bog-standard Elves.

Examples: They killed the whole Drow pantheon except Lolth. That means they removed all alternate options for Drow, including Eilistraee, the Good Drow goddess, but not just her, but lesser-known ones like Vhaeraun (drow god of thieves, Lolth's son, Eilistraee's brother) and Kiaransalee, goddess of Undead and Vengance.

They totally reworked both Tieflings and Aasimars so instead of being descendants of people who breed with Demons/Devils and Celestials, they're from dynasties of people who made deals with them. They also set tieflings to have only one body style, removing the random and variable factor in them.
They also totally deleted some types of Celestials, like Eladrin, and handed over that particular name to Elves - a brief Google makes me think they gave the name to Gold Elves (the stuck-up superior assholes of Elves). I liked the Celestial Eladrin.

I disliked the disabling of the Mage class with the whole spellplague plot, and it looks like they killed several of the really cool but underused archmages as well. Like I said before, the only thing that doesn't make me angry about that plot is that they appear to have the groundwork in place for restoring Mystra... eventually.

Can I just say I hate the way Raj from the Big Bang Theory has been acting lately? The whole show isn't quite as charming as before, though I still enjoy it, but Raj (especially in relation to women) has really bugged me.
