First things first, Happy New Year everyone!! I'm hoping you're starting 2019 on the right foot.
With that being said, let's get on with the rest of this post, shall we?
So, you may be wondering why I haven't posted in a bit, and yes, I know I tend to disappear a bit, but lately I've been kinda stuck playing WoW, sorry.
I haven't neglected you, it's just that I've been putting hours on my online gaming.
Also, mainly (and this will be part of the post) it's because I've been feeling a bit down with our community.
Why?
Because, recently there's been so many 'negative nancies' about pretty much anything, gaming, films, tv, etc. It kinda makes me want to distance myself for a bit from the Geek community.
Look, we're all dealing with our daily sh*t fest, not to mention our global sh*t fest, it's just a sh*t fest most of our waking hours, and the one thing that makes me happy is being part of a community that gets me.
But what happens when that community has become toxic? It really just makes me not want to be around it for a couple of hours, and just simply enjoy, my own sh*t free geekiness.
I'm not saying that EVERYONE in the community is toxic, but the toxic people are the far more vocal, and yes, it's great to share diverse opinions about shows, movies, comics, etc. but to the point where you're putting down people whom don't agree with you, it's just being an a**hole, period.
One example that comes to mind (and the most recent one too) is Netflix (I know, I talk a lot about Netflix) announced that they are going to be releasing a new revamped version of 'Where in the World is Camern Sandiego', there's even a preview trailer for it. It seems that this revamped version is a combo of a robin hood-esque/ Kim Possible/Indiana Jones style Carmen Sandiego.
So basically, she steals from the bad guys in order to protect the art/treasure/important piece.
And, there's so many nay-sayers.
Yes, it is not the 90's version of the show. Yes, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. Yes, we're overly fond of our nostalgia, but really, do you guys have to suck the fun out of everything?
Just because it's different, doesn't mean it'll be worse, or not worth enjoying.
People were up in arms with the rebooted She-ra, and that was a sh*t storm too.
The solution is simple, don't watch it, period. How about go to Youtube, and watch old episodes of 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' and 'She-ra'. But, just because it doesn't meet your standards, that doesn't mean that you need to incessantly ruin it for everyone else, whom might actually enjoy it.
With that being said, I leave you with the offending trailer for 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.'
