>>/5729/ > Derail the thread!? This is right in the thread's topic. I fully get having to cite stuff. It's probably better that way! well, perfect then. Because all you have to do is to simply read this and you know, reply at the parts you feel like answering. > You can wait for me to reply to a couple of points here or you can go on without me if I take a couple of days. Your call. I believe that I am trying today to finish the whole thing because a lot has been floating inside my mind so I feel like I am ready to spit it out even though I have to improvise a bit while typing it. > I'm trying to find one fic that if my memory serves me is somewhat relevant to your's (at least I wanted to compare them). If I can't I'll go on and finish the review without it. fair enough, then I continue with this series of replies. > the one defense here is that this was being done with a movie mindset of exposition.It is separate from the show and done doesn't want to overload audiences with lore as so much as have a entertaining adventure from point A to point's B and C. Though it is a partial one since it is arguable that it made the movie a bit weaker and other movies put background stuff that they desperately try to attach meaning to all the time. you´ve got a point there and considering how many times the staff has had to change ideas, concepts or entire scripts behind the process of the movie, keeping things simple perhaps was the most effective to satisfy everyone. You do well in replying this to me. However, that lore is all that was needed for the future material related to them in the next episodes of the show. Sure they tried to add their hobby of going through the seas like pirates but that mostly stayed as a really minor setup for a joke. I´ve got to concede your point but still, it´s the quickest and most notable example to put out there for explaining a normalization coming altogether in such a short amount of time (probably the shortest at that along with the kirins). They display all the requirements for mysterious lore, direct explanation to the viewer and move onto down to earth problems. I could have posted Klugetown as well but that place doesn´t manage to receive as much spotlight as the southern location nor it follows the formula of normalization that I am exposing throughout these posts. > I am honestly curious if you have something that I haven't seen or have but articulated real well (like a lot of this thread). I feel like the exposition of this topic feels like a political rally and my arguments and words have to be chosen skillfully at that. Just that I am not going to stress you with politics (dear god no) here but many characteristics of the way I am articulating this...I learned most of them because of excessive exposure to it and now I feel like I am an expert in this topic when I could have much less info than you or any lurker out there. All this is simply displayed in a strategical way with some improvisation. I still have to set up my mind a little bit how to illustrate what I said before but again, I have ventured myself for that, so here it is.
