Comment on Viggo Mortensen on Respecting Audiences, How Scripts Are Key “Unless I’m Broke,” New ‘LOTR’ Films
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoIt is very common in kids shows and movies (and annoyed me even as a kid) I think it’s producers and execs going for what they think the lowest common denominator’s intelligence is. And they just assume kids are too stupid to pick up context without explanation. It also helps them extend the showtime for cheap.

Another annoying part is that it’s supposed to be a more adult version of the original cartoon, and yet it’s the Nickelodeon cartoon that has more faith in their audience (which they’re assuming is literal children) and their ability to understand subtext or gather context over time instead of needing everything up front.
I’ll keep watching since the show is supposed to get better after they get past exposition episodes, but you should be able to split that over time. Then again, they also kind of did that with the first season of the Witcher and that apparently annoyed a lot of people, so maybe the execs are right lol.
