fandom is lame

[dzioo]

the reason for me writing it is simple. in the middle of each month, for past 7 years, certain cow has blessed us with one chapter. for me, those are one of the greatest moments of my otaku life. seriously, I HATE series that are too long, because usually, more than 52 episodes of an anime and more than 150 chapters of a manga, streach it to unbearable state. the plot has holes, characters become boring and such. unless the author has a great idea for his/her story...

but recently, my faith for fandom has died. while reading posts on LJ regarding latest Gundam 00 episodes or FMA chapters, it seems to me that people are only looking for "shallow entertainment" in media nowadays. they only care for action, explosions, etc. no need for intelligent plot, characters' development, establishing relationships and introducing secondary characters. when I read statements like "Graham is the only worthy thing in there, the rest is totally pointless" or "it's only worth reading when Roy and Ed are presend, otherwise it's boring" I want to smash someone's head. well sorry!! Graham is kickass, true, but why don't you pay a little attention to the world portrayed, conflicts, relations between countries and fighting fractions? why don't you care for unexpected developments or for other characters taking active part in forming upcoming results? I'm really sorry that you don't care for Hohenheim declaring war to Father or for Marcoh defeating Envy. I know that all you care for is Lockon making up with Setsuna, Graham or whoever else and Ed or Roy just being on panels, not really doing anything. don't get me wrong. Lockon is my fav in G00 universe and Ed is my Fav in FMA universe. but it pains me that people judge a series by amount of yaoi hints, not appreciating interesting universe and scenario. but maybe I'm just growing old....

agreed. people in fandoms can be really shallow. it might be because they really are shallow. at that point, just ignore them :/
