them: we’re over populated, that’s why people don’t have enough food to eat

NASA has released new images of Jupiter, taken by the Juno Spacecraft.

People watch tragedies on purpose. People watch stories about hope on purpose. Pulling the rug on the narrative promise of your story and switching tracks isn’t clever or interesting, it’s just lying about the genre.

Agreed, with the caveat that the betrayal is proportionate to how hard you promised the audience one thing, how different that was from what you actually gave them, and how thoroughly you show your work on getting from one to the other. Writing firmly within a genre but introducing complications to its tropes along the way isn’t a betrayal. Not playing by the rules of a genre you flirted with but never committed to isn’t a lie. At least, not the same kind of lie as a nihilistic grimdark episode of Doctor Who, or a Hannibal episode where cleverness and cooperation save the day and everybody lives. You can’t renege on a promise you never made.
