I am about to open my crew-served bottle of Midol for you guys. Seriously. Whine, whine, whine whine. Hate, hate hate. I think the series suffered from some pacing issues, and also some iffy artists (like that guy who couldn't draw people worth a damn), and of course just way too many humans in general, but on the whole I kinda liked it. It had some absolutely brilliant moments, along with the eh, not so great moments. It's hard, I imagine, to write a good story when a) 'fans' will find some way to hate you no matter what you do, and b) Hasbro gets to go through and change whatever they want if they don't like it, which I understand happens quite a bit with the IDW stuff.
Here's what my dad told me when I was a kid and complained about a book being really crappy (legitimately, it was a TOR book, and they're ALL crappy). "You don't like it? Write a better one."
Come on, people. Seibs has plenty of room for your fanfic. And we're waiting.
Put up or shut up.
HK, hrm, may need to dip into the Midol myself, actually.
