@LukeAlmighty repent and receive thy absolution, for meme dubs can indeed be amusing

should be something that fans do, but still, they can be amusing

@beardalaxy Samurai Jack never had a final season

and with Edgerunners, it's clear from the episode one that nobody will survive, cyberpunk genre rules and the characters' initial position call for that; and Lucy getting to the moon is almost a hopeful subversion

it was indeed rushed because of episode limit, but the writing was really good taking that into account

and that's why Edgerunners doesn't need a second season: it ended pretty much perfectly; although I can't say that I felt too much toska after the ending, but it left a nice melancholy aftertaste

and honestly, fuck the current society where happiness is mandatory anyway, it is poisoned with toxic positivity; that's how we got vultures screeching about everything being problematic and calling for the return of Hays Code; if being happy about sadness is sociopathic, then the society needs this kind of sociopath thinking because otherwise rich men in ties turn something like Sonic Adventure 2 into a fart comedy (I am still mad)

and imo even if you felt frustration and annoyance, it's a good thing and a mark of good writing, because the worst case scenario when the reader/watcher doesn't feel anything

@beardalaxy no, you don't get it

you don't *just* make everyone sad so you could feel happy; it's not a deranged schadenfreude

you make everyone sad so they could feel soul-engulfing, encompassing, distilled cleansing ~toska~ and come out of it a better man; it's like detox for your soul

and because you made people a bit better, you feel a bit happy

it's a major Slav thing (although not just Slav, Japanese are quite fond of it too, and it's derived from them respecting Classic Russian Literature), I write in the same way even when I don't want to; it's the same thing that makes so many of quests in the Witcher deliver a gut punch in their finales

people hate on translators a lot for reasons that seem obvious, but completely forget about editors, chief editor, simply censors, and others who will and do impose on perfectly fine beautiful text with their own failed writer ambitions while bragging about not even knowing the language of the source material

and speaking of hate, graphic designers also get a ton of unwarranted hate, when it's their clients who choose the final result
