So uh I dunno if this is an unpopular opinion, but… media nowadays is much too serious! Like, toons ‘n stuff. Existential dread.
Let me explain. Has anyone here watched the new, for example, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball? I tried to watch through, but… it just wasn't fun. It just all felt awfully dreadful.
It happens in the indie projects, too. For TADC, I absolutely loved and adored the first episode, and the second one was pretty good… but now it just feels TOO sad. It's ok for me if it has, you know, a consecutive conflict… but I just hate to see my shows and such take the gloomy path.
There’s more shows, games, platforms, franchises… that just have lost their charm for me. I feel like we get enough of it in real life, in the waking world or whatever. I want whimsy. I want what we had back. It hurts to see a lot of this go away.
