Sorry that it seemed like I was saying ‘don’t be racist’
I think I was trying to say ‘challenge perspective’ — similar to several of the conversations in the ‘the music I listened to when I was 14 is the greatest music ever’ threads - like what you like, but maybe try unfamiliar tastes

For what it's worth, "the music I listened to when I was 14 is the greatest music ever" is a neurological phenomenon. Music that people listen to as a teenagers makes a permanent impression due to hormonal changes in the brain that are occuring during that time, and general nostalgia.

also I don’t think I’m being Pollyanna about FAWS - I had critiques all throughout - just pointing out that there are more challenges to creating/executing a WV or FAWS than a Loki

Absolutely agree that there are more challenges, but I disagree on the reasoning. I'd say this is a nature (the lack of compelling characters in the chosen narrative) problem, not a nuture (society's willingness to accept the white guy storyline) problem.

also you may be correct about GoT, but I don’t remember it the way you say - I think my central complaint were with those who were using the obvious faults of the later seasons to effect the way they felt about the whole series
I also said that while the writing sucked, the acting, cinematography, set/costume design and some directing were still some of the best ever; so why not appreciate the elements you can

Yea, but that's like saying "Sure this literal pile of sheet tastes terrible, but we put the best sprinkles and whipped cream in the world on top, so enjoy the elements you can!" The sheet ruins the sprinkles.

You can't smoke and mirrors your way to a great finale on a show that was built on incredible writing and dialogue. While the writing was great in the first part of the series, if the writing ceases to be great for the second half of the series, then the writing was never great to begin with.

The writing of the first part of the series should necessarily be setting up the writing of the end of the series. If it doesn't, then the writing in the first part of the series (in hindsight) is just as faulty as the writing at the end of the series.
