Look, having been through the comics myself, I can agree that the shows adaptation isn’t faultless, but it’s a shame seeing how so much of the discourse this week is about the complaints people have for the way things have been delivered with the show this season.

No shade, but I hope the comic folks having a bad time at the moment learn to let go and just enjoy the show for what it is. Great casting, faithful recreation of the OG story- We’re so much luckier than the vast majority of comics fans getting the adaptation we are.

Peace and love, bring on the downvotes I guess 😅

    Exactly like there’s nothing wrong with wishing for the quality of the show to be better, regardless maybe even especially if you think it’s dipping below the standard in some areas. It shows you care so long as you don’t go overboard about it. Along those lines, the issues such as the ones everyone frequently lists aren’t all a comic purism thing either, only half of the complaints are about what wasn’t adapted from the source material.

    While it’s great and completely valid for somebody to watch the show by kicking back and enjoying the ride, acknowledging what does and doesn’t work is equally as okay for them to do. I feel like if it’s just criticism all the time or constant praise neither would be helpful and only draining for everyone. For some works feedback with real constructive criticism is especially important.
