I'm not yucking anyone's yum, but I would like to know if there are still fans of this series. I didn't get it when it was new, and it seems less relevant now than 20ish years ago.

I polietly disagree.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Like I said I'm not judging or trying to drag it down. I'm genuinely trying to understand what people are looking for in a movie for the series. Is it mostly just nostalgia at this point or has there been a group simmering for years waiting for a resolution or something?

Don't feel like you have to respond. I'm not trying to put anyone on the spot. I'd just love to hear what the fans actually think beyond, 'yeah I exist'

Fan here and was never even this nerdy. Great writing and characters!

Were you ever addicted to WoW or any other MMORPG?

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, but not for lack of trying. I've played RuneScape, EverQuest, Wow (twice once when burning crusade came out and again when cataclysm dropped I'm a huge fan of Warcraft lore) , and a couple other smaller ones. It's not the subject matter that turned me away though. It was the perceived poor writing. One of the other cast members had a different show called Legends of Neal and I remember liking the comedy of that show much more.

That's not really relevant to my question though. I wanted to know if anyone was excited for the return. It seems like the iron is cooled.

People who were really addicted to those things still are. So yeah, I think there's an audience for a small movie.

Are you one of those people?

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Nope, but I know some. And WoW or still going strong.

Im a big enough fan of Felicia to sign up, even though I never watched The Guild back in the day

What's her best work? I'm not really familiar with her writing outside the guild.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 1 day ago

She was good in Supernatural and Eureka, but she wasn't a writer for those. She was a writer for 7 episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and while I've never seen it, I've only heard good things.

I know her as a twitch streamer and co-founder of Geek & Sundry (who streamed Critical Role before it got big)

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

I was also never a big fan of G&S. The biggest thing I remember liking that she's in is Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, but her character has basically nothing to do or say. Which is definitely not her fault, that's the Whedon's fault. I've just never seen anything she's been a part of that made me go 'wow'.

I mean, I liked it enough to look forward to this? Idk if I even finished the whole show, but it was entertaining.

Lmao I was just watching this recently with my kid. Already watched Gamers too. Gotta introduce them to cultured classics 😂
