    What’s wrong with complaining that a show puts talking points (or however you’d like to refer to the concept) over quality?

            Just because you want to change the topic of discussion to a strawman it doesn’t mean it’s what we are discussing.

            Besides, you’re the only one kidding around here, making up bogus accusations to discredit criticism

                One hell of a reach there. Anything to actually show it’s an intentional message and not just reading between lines that don’t exist on your part?

                  Pulled from wikipedia:

                  F-Zero begins in the year 2560 where the human race’s countless encounters with alien life forms throughout the universe greatly expanded Earth’s social framework resulting in trade, technology transfer, and cultural interchange are carried out on an interplanetary basis. An association of wealthy space merchants created the “F-Zero Grand Prix”, in an attempt to add some excitement to their opulent lifestyles. When the first race was held, people were angered at the brutality of the competition, due to the various obstacles and traps along the raceway. As time passed, however, they became accustomed to these dangers, and even began to demand more excitement and danger in the races. Winning the F-Zero championship soon became the highest claim to fame in the universe. This period of time is called the “old-school” F-Zero days where the rules seemed non-existent in F-Zero X.

      Again I haven’t seen the show yet but usually when people say that it just means there was a black/queer character and it made them angy

        Without spoilers, there’s melanin, gayness, and even character flaws. You were spot on.

            Low quality? No, not in the least. It was adequate setup for a 3-4 season show. The emotional arcs would have been fantastic if they had been given any amount of time to breathe or if there had been more visible development between certain characters, but that’s not what the complaints are about, are they? What, my good chud, are they complaining about in their reviews? Do feel free to pull your mask off, you’re among friends.

              Anyway, try reading the link before you try and use it to back you up.

              It doesn’t work, everything feels forced and the characters are just stupid

              Looks like the writers are riding the series’ success to write their own fanfiction now.

              and I agree that there are cringe-like dialogues in places and probably too much time was given to characters who did not deserve it, while the main villain was given almost no time and no development

              I don’t understand how many more shows have to be given to incompetent writers until studios decide they had enough. This is not Castlevania, this is disrespect.

              This is a watchable series. But this is merely a shadow of the original Castlevania series. Writing is not that good and most of the villains are one dimensional and hard to connect with. Heroes are sometimes appear as more than one dimensional characters and sometimes not. Hard to connect with the heroes for the most of the time. Story is not adult oriented other than blood, gore and sex scenes. Generally average or below average series that is unable to follow the standards of the original.

              Strayed too far from the source material it might have well just called it something else. It’s literally someone else fanfiction riding off the Castlevania name

              Nothing related to the games and full of bad writing. Makes 90s mario bros film feels like a accurate adaptation.

              The main characters just aren’t that interesting or fun to watch. The writing and pacing is all over the place.

              Sorry, I didn’t realize you were the grand arbiter of quality, selected by the universe to be the one true source of objective judgement on the topic.

                What an absolutely unhinged comment. And to reply to your reviews, there’s nothing of substance said in half of them. I read them, evidently you haven’t. Feel free to keep the mask on, I guess?

                    Attempting to sound older than 16 seems like a small ask. As does… having a review in your review. Speaking of which, you mind linking your review?
