Funny, art is about more than sales numbers? Who would’ve thunk?

The first episode of the penguin is cinematic crème. While the entire season of the Acolyte is barely amateur hour. Writing, cinematography, costumes, set design, acting, makeup, music, sound design, plot. The penguin delivered in a single hour to levels of artistic satisfaction that not even the best hour of the Acolyte could even dream of achieving.

I know it is unpopular to say this on the Internet, but storytelling and dialogue is still the core of video entertainment. No matter how high budget and quality, if you’re filming a turd, it is still just cinematographic shit. While you can make a modest production of a masterpiece writing and it will still outpace in praises the literal turd. No matter how much it either sells.
