If you're not entertained, find something else to entertain you or entertain yourself, for crying out loud. It's really no more complex than that.

Spot on. Middle-aged 80's kids still clutching their pearls over Star Wars and its legacy might care to ask themselves why their parents' generation never mobilised to try and make the Howdy Doody or Muffin The Mule cinematic universes a reality, or took to the equivalents of Facebook or Reddit to berate Disney for destroying the Davy Crockett franchise by pushing insidious PC agendas over storytelling.

Star Wars endures by renewing its audience from one generation of kids to the next to the next. Disney aren't interested in 'uniting the fanbase' or somesuch fanspeak. They're interested in creating the next one.

I wonder if the older generation was upset about Daniel Boone being called a stupid jerk.

That's just it. I WANT kids 100 years from now to still love Star Wars, and Star Trek, and LotR, and DC, and Marvel. I don't want these things to be relegated to the domain of bitter old-timers who failed to realize that it wasn't about them anymore.

Yes and there are things like The Expanse and other shows to fill those gaps. Oh wait those shows were canceled because people ignored them to complain about other things. All shucks.

Wasn't ignored in this apartment, I can promise you that.
Great show, but, I definitely take your point.

Plenty of options out there to be enjoyed.

Shows like that and may others have paid the price over the years, from being ignored. So when people talk about and watch things they do not like, what does that tell the execs.

One show I am getting ready to jump into is Outer Range.

I'm not familiar. I will take a look. Appreciate the recommendation.
