At this point, I might even watch this ludicrous show, as it would at least probably be entertaining.
So far in the last 5 years it basically seems like film and tv style media, with a few notable exceptions, has just absolutely gone down the shitter compared to what has existed before.
For christs sake its even happened to Anime too. Again, there are some notable exceptions, but good lord so much crap is just, what if we do exactly the same thing other show did, but mash it together with a bunch of elements from either another successful show, or made it edgier, but only superficially, or we just swapped the time period or theme.
(Please dont get me started on how none of the fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion seem to understand that the reboots are literally mocking, insulting, and making fun of the fans who completely did not understand the actual message of the original series. Or how the Matrix Revelations receiving largely the same criticisms broadly received by Reloaded and Revolutions also indicates the vast majority of fans or viewers completely missed the point)
I believe the Red Letter Media guys basically seem to actually be kind of hopeful, as Mike isnt as /actually seriously suffering from actually real alcoholism/ as he was a few years ago, because they know the industry, and are expecting basically a massive collapse that will force it to go through a sort of rennaissance of trying a whole bunch of low budget concepts that theyd previously never consider, with a bunch of total unknowns, and they know the last time that happened to hollywood it did produce a lot of insane garbage, but also a lot of insane stuff that is we now refer to as groundbreaking and hugely influential.
Basically they seem to be banking on a kind of reset of the grand karmic cycle of entertainment media.
See thats the terrifying thing.
