If I owned my fandom
Tav, Scribe, and Keisha did it. I didn't feel like doing one, but Scribe pretty much convinced me and I'm feeling pretty low, so I guess I'll do this to make myself feel better. Vent out frustration, I guess. *shrugs*
NOTE: While I am writing this to know how I feel for a franchise, it's also for fun, so don't try to take it so seriously.
Dear Hartman,
I entered your world of DP around Sept. 2005. I manage to get my cable TV back and I watched all the Nicktoons I missed over the 6-7+ years I didn't have cable TV to see which show was worth watching. Your show caught my interest and by the time TUE aired, I was jaw dropped at what a superb cartoon this was...note the word WAS.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, your current line of DP has yet to please me. Episodes after Flirting with Disaster" was unknowingly to me, the first step in the decline when after that wonderous airing, the second half of Season Two took a lower dip in quality, namely when you and your crew couldn't figure out HOW to handle Danny who turned from lovable mature kid to lousy immature jerkass. Not to mention most of the episodes were pitifully average at best. They weren't complete stinkers, so that was fine, and by "Kindred Spirits", Danny was basically mature again and the episode was super special awesome sauce.
Then "Urban Jungle" aired and I thought it sucked, but I hoped it'd just been a blunder to an excellent Season 3..............guess what? It's not. Granted, I will, by no means judge Season 3 or the show in total until ALL the episodes air, so you're safe for that, but aside from two episodes, Season 3 is NOT doing so hot. In fact, it's extremely declining. If I thought the second half of Season 2 was bad, Season 3 is putrid and asisine. If it weren't for the fact that I won't judge Season 3 until after all the airing as I stated above, I would say "Girls' Night Out" was the start of the Jump the Shark moment with "Boxed Up Fury" completely dosing the series of The Fonz leaping over 30 tanks of those sea dwellers. Neo Yi is not pleased.
So here's what I want fixed: First off, you can keep the episodes of the second half of Season Two the way it is, however much flaws I dislike there, just FIX Danny's OOC. Oh, and FIX the ending of "Reality Trip" on the whole erasing parents' memories. Do you KNOW how much I am upset that there was absolutely no GIVEN/GOOD reason for that bone head of a move? Fix it. Bring Valerie to RT, too. It's for good character development.
Season 3? Except Eye for an Eye" and maybe "Forever Phantom", we're changing the entire thing. What we WILL get for Season 3: Tucker episode, Sam learning to LET GO OF THINGS and move on beyond her forceful views, the return of Valerie to possible end the Danny/Valerie cycle since you guys are SO keen on the obvious Danny/Sam anyways (pairing I don't mind--hell, except for Vlad--I don't care WHO Danny ends with, as long as the story WORKS!), Dani returning and dying into puddle mess, and Phantom? It does make sense for him to return by series finale, so you guys have to razzle dazzle it because if there's one thing I fear is that he's second appearance won't have the "oomph" as his first. Vlad? Honestly, I have no clue what to truly do with him. Depending on the route you guys give him, I'd like it to be consulted with me and we'll see what is the best choice for our mysterious sexy enigma.
Come on, people, you punched out beautiful character development, let's do it again! None of these damn pointless fillers. Nix Vortex, Frosbite, Undergrowth, and Pandora out unless you plan to make them useful. Amorpho, keep. He actually HAS a personality and is probably the best Season 3 character.
Dear Christy Hui,
Make Jack Spicer less of an idiot and into his Season 1 role, please. Oh, and kill Katnappe. Oh, and focus on the other characters besides Omi in Season 2 so I can actually CARE ABOUT THEM. By Season 3, I got bored mostly because I didn't care shit for the characters or their plight except Jack whom half the time when he pops on screen, I shake my head because he's been so downplayed. Other then that, I basically don't have any problems with the show.
..........Make Jack/Kimiko......*is smacked*
Dear Timm and Paul,
Rag the WB executives to get you to make more Batman Beyond episodes. Okay, I admit, I am satisifed with the ending. It got a great movie and a great finale in JLU, I just like BB a lot. It's my fave of the Timmverse DCAU. Ahaha.
Dear Square-Enix,
Thanks to you, I've been addicted to RPGs. My first one was--guess what--FF7. I like the game a lot and I still play it to this day. Whoever thought of the idea of Rufus Shinra is an effin' genius and deserves to be promoted and made president of the friggin' world. That said, I am SICK AND TIRED of the constant FF7 milking. Guess what? I don't really care. Advent Children was decent, but was not so much story as it was action. Dirge of Cerberus, never played it, but considering all the crappy reviews it's getting, I probably ain't gonna like it. Before Crisis, well, I can't say since I don't know much on the gameplay of that, Crisis Core? Honestly, does ANYBODY actually give a shit about Zack?
Look, I know you guys are corporates and you need the greens, I get that and I know milking a franchise works because FF7 is SO damn popular. After all, why do you think Mario games expanded to sports/party/educational/world domination? But in that franchises defense, 90% of their games actually DON'T suck. The point is, the fact that you plan to make more FF7 shit for another ten years apparently doesn't sit well, especially when the qualities are lackluster so far. Can't you--I don't know--EXPAND TO OTHER GAMES THAT ARE POPULAR? The world isn't just FF7 or for that matter, KH. Please, guys. I once had respect for you, but I soon stopped caring.
In fact, I don't care what other franchise you milk. Make it that godawful FFX and give it FFX-3 or something, make it another overhyped KH spin-off, but pleaaaaaaaaaase, just get off the/take a break from the FF7 bandwagon. I am sick of seeing Cloud's emo face everywhere. He is not all that and a bag of chips.
Dear Naughty Dog,
I love your Jak games. Jak and Daxter rocked my socks with it's beautiful graphics and charming characters. Jak II, while falling in the whole, "EXTREEEEEEEME MATURE GAMES!" genre, you made it work by giving us an epic story and characters to CARE about. Those two are love. Jak 3 and Jak X however aren't good, mostly Jak 3.
Jak 3 is just OOC in everyway. Why is Ashelin supposingly the potential girlfriend to Jak in there when it was KIERA all the damn way in other games? Why is Erol suddenly alive? Oh, sure, the Krimzon bots repaired him, but WHY is he taking over the world? There is NO given background or motivation for that. Kliever, aside from a handful of side quests was useless, should have either nixed him or made him useful. Is there a given reason WHY you HAD to make Jak more angst!? One of the best in Jak 2 was him learning to grow up from emo to the hero he is. Oh, and I am NOT a fan of the Precursors being ottsels. It's a funny scene, but heavily anti-climatic.
Jak X is fine, just the gameplay sucks. I get hit too easily, the controls are loose, and at times, I have such a TERRIBLE time seeing the road ahead, leading to more crashes. Fixing thos loose ends aside, Jak X was okay.
Dear Vivendi Universal,
Please stop killing the Crash franchise. Either get someone who will make the series games good or end it to stop Crash's suffering. Stop it with the fart and potty humor and get back to the more intelligent jokes and stories from ND's era. Crash's personality was goofy, but goodhearted, not mentally retarded as he seems to be know, so fix that. Expand Cortex's relationship with Nina, it's actually very intriguing on the possible family relations between the two. And for the love of GOD, STOP WITH THE RACING GAMES. PLEASE. I don't care if you have to give him another genre then his original platformer, ANYTHING but a racing game. We've had one too many in the under 6 something years. It's too much for me to bare.
Dear Matt Groening,
Simpsons rocks and will always rock, even if the show wasn't what it used to be. I can't stop it's current way since it's too late at this point, but can't you please fix it so we don't get humor that is SO off the wall? And please, stop making Homer such a jerk and stop getting Lisa to bitch everytime a skunk dies. It's gotten to the point where I get giddy everytime I see her act like a child, however immature it is. There's probably more, but I'm officially tired and need sleep. Can't wait for the movie, though.
Wow, that did help out the anger...heh.
