there will always be people who will perceive your words wrong, no matter what you do

unfortunately there really isn't much of a way to do so without the fans getting mad.

I mean, it's definitely not something that is for everybody. So long as you don't talk down to those who enjoyed it and speak about the reasons you don't like it instead of insulting it or Goose I don't see why anyone would be upset at you. I liked it, but others won't, it definitely is divisive

It was the Caine stuff, wasn't it?

All you gotta say is "I won't be streaming it" lmao

I wasn't super crazy about the ending either, it felt too easy(?) if that makes any sense?

Am I the only one that enjoyed it? 😭 There are some aspects I didn't like but overall it's not THAT bad in my opinion.

you think it could have been better, just say so. Just…don’t call the people who liked it “morons” or whatever and say what YOU took away from the experience. Perhaps you could talk about how you think it stacks up against the rest of the show?

you can't

There’s a lot of ways you can go about it, my suggestion is to try and be contrastive in your criticisms and honest on how it made you feel, no one can fault you for that imo- Hope you get some good rest Phil 💚👋🏻💕✨💕✨💕✨💕✨

I tend to try to find 3 positive things I can talk about and then "but the [piece of media in full] just wasn't for me"

Honestly, that usually doesn't help. Just makes it seem like the person wont stand behind their opignon when expressing it.

If you didnt like it thats ok you can still appreciate other parts of the story everyones happy

As for advice: keep your criticisms solely on the media itself and bring up the creators as little as possible. Calling out individual people by name inherently sounds more hostile than only addressing the media (Ex: "This scene is badly written" vs "Gooseworx wrote this scene badly")

Pointing out why you didn't like? Like a list of things you didn't like & maybe the whys Or just be yourself, it's an opinion. Nobody should be ashamed or afraid to express themselves because of some socipathic people out here who would throw themselves at a wall if ya didn't like what they liked

the latter half is so weird, man

Explaining why you didn’t like certain aspects also help give reason for your opinions, rather than making a blunt statement about it and leaving others to speculate why.

Good luck on expressing your thoughts chief, I am curious on your opinion.

Honestly I don’t even know

needs to be coddled, these are adults working on a pretty big production who have made a shit ton of cash from it. They can handle a guy online being critical. Be honest but don't rile people up on purpose. The pricks that do horrible shit over this show will at least fuck off partially that way.

I mean I can completely understand why the ending didn’t land for you and that’s okay i am really interested now to hear your thoughts though after watching it myself

Uh oh

hmm, i suppose there can be purpose in criticising a media for failing to delve into a specific topic, through i think thats something that needs to be tackled with a lot more nuance and falls into the problem of holding creators responsible of making everyone happy. But thats what fanfics are for

he's invalidating the feelings of others by not liking a show?

Hard to give criticism to media that's made with and is loved without sounding like an asshole. So you just gotta be like this is my issues without insulting the creator personally. If people call you an asshole post that there's nothing you can do

The fandom is going to be overly critical to anything bad people have to say about the finale no matter what, I personally liked it a lot but I can certainly see why others didn't like it. I say if you're going into hot water no matter what, then don't hold anything back.

Leaving aside the, uh, 4 comments long thread I left elsewhere in this same section, I am curious to know what you expected to see in the ending and how you would change what we got

(SPOILERS FOR THE FINALE!) -The characters realizing they are copies: extremely rushed -Pomni in JAX's mind: Very good, but a bit too long -Caine reviving and realizing his errors: barely explained and extremely rushed -Caine apologizing and the ending: Very good -Credits: the ate Zack Hadel!

Yeahhh I knew the moment it ended in my theater that you probably wouldn't 😂 Seriously though, this on it's own is probably the best you can do. At least to an audience as big as yours. Otherwise you can air your grievances with friends and most likely stay out of trouble that way. 🤷

you don't. give it at least 3 months man.

I liked the ending, but I can see why some wouldn't. I've learned not to judge others for not liking things I enjoy, even if they can't explain why clearly. You just want to be honest. But sadly, this is the internet, so having any other opinion is dangerous. So I don't know.

Besides that sadly I don't have anything else to give, because this is the internet and some people will be offended no matter what you do (especially with TADC fandom)

I can see why. Its something i wanna like analyze more of to figure out my exact emotions on the series as a whole

Do a compliment sandwhich, start with things you did like, then for the middle talk ab what you didnt like, and then talk a bit about some of the issues a bit more. Sincerely as someone who liked the premise but didnt like the execution

Normally i would go with just saying you didn't like it but knowing the internet (and especially the current fans of TADC) Say what you liked and what you didn't like to minimize the chance of looking like an asshole.
