#and when we get a second season it'll likely have the same runtime that this season did

for those times when it feels like fans might have lost track of the medium/genre of the source material a wee bit
+ bonus:
#pearlcaddyedit
#this isn't really about anything specific
#i just feel like some of the analysis in this fandom forgets important context of what the show actually is
#and that's totally fine for fanworks--fanworks are their own thing and you should go off and be free with them
#with fanworks you don't owe canon anything except love and respect for julie molina
#but when you're analyzing canon and your analysis doesn't take into account that it's a tv show
#and that characters will have shorter conversations than they would in real life
#or they will learn things faster than they would in real life
#or that things will focus on the main protagonists
#because a tv show has a limited runtime and these are narrative shortcuts
#then you're missing a crucial element of media criticism
#this isn't a complex puzzle show
#it doesn't do 'real time' conversations like GoT did
#it doesn't lean heavily on an unreliable narrator
#or on the trauma--the dark bits of this show are usually brief and sanitized and quickly followed up with something light-hearted
#and when we get a second season it'll likely have the same runtime that this season did
#and similar content/tone
#and all of that is incredibly important context when you're analyzing the show
#otherwise it just turns into 'criticizing the characters for... being fictional characters in a half-hour fantasy TV show'
#and i just don't think that that's helping anyone understand the show better
#i would actually argue that it obscures people's understanding of the show
#and it's creating a lot of weird expectations for season two that don't seem to take into account the tone/genre/medium of the show
#idk i'm in a safe wee fandom bubble so I feel like I'll be okay for s2 but i'm worried about other people
#because i feel like some people have lost track of the source material and therefore lost track of the appropriate tools for analyzing it
#but also i just like giffing flynn and i need to do it more
