tmagp anon i honor your request so thoroughly that i have started to listen to the show as to give you a proper & informed answer about what my thoughts are….. only 5ep in right now but i’ll be getting back to you i promise just give me a few days to get a decent baseline 🫡
somehow an unpopular opinion but i DO think it’s completely fine and normal to post criticism of something (eg. show/book/movie/podcast/whatever else) and like. tag it as that thing. it’s normal to hold criticism of something, even and especially something you like, (and even and especially something you don’t) and want to have a dialogue about those criticisms…. hence tagging the item it’s about. i think it’s a very silly, non-engaged thing when people get up in arms and act as if people posting their criticism under the relevant tag is some sort of affront or personal attack on them, or as if it’s taboo, or any such sort of other thing. if you don’t so much as want to discuss the media/item, or ever hear another persons opinion on the matter, why are YOU looking in the tags. to be quite honest. and if seeing someone’s criticism annoys you or you feel like they’re too entrenched in pure haterisms for your taste, just block them and move on. but the individual with criticism is not at fault for sharing their opinion, nor are they in any way aggressing you by posting about it in their personal blog.
tbh gritting my teeth while listening through tmagp bc 1) the writing sucks man im so sorry. it’s like adjective soup in half of the cases so far — as if hyper-describing something can make it ‘more scary’ and not just very amateur in execution. 2) oh my godddd the PACING is just not very good. it’s all over the place. it feels like they’re trying to cram. 3) the point of view shifts are somewhat nonsensical and make for very jarring and disconnected transitions. hate how nearly nothing is related on a per-episode basis so far. like we’ve got some office talk (bashing my head against the wall as they try to play off of the ‘office comedy’ concept that a lot of fans tried to force tma into), a typically shoddily written case, and then 2+ extracurriculars. and none of these items cohesively translate into the other. 4) THE VOICE ACTING ISNT VERY GOOD. SORRY. like the casual conversation between our main cast is fine, but the cases….. the delivery is very lacking. and so is theeee writing to be honest. but i’ve already said that. just highlighting.
it’s so disappointing too bc tma was such a polished & passionate project from the get go — and barring my immense criticism of s5, mostly remained that way. and now we have tmagp coasting off of its success with a viewer base who are mostly here from tma and it’s just….. well. not good. it’s as if internal standards have completely changed for the worse.
tmagp 16 fucking sucks oh my god. the case…..
