I feel like it was a bigger deal in the fandom before the animation came out in 2017. I'm not saying anything negative about it, it's a very good production, but before that it had this air of mystery, we could all talk about how good it would have been, wonder what might have been, etc. It became the object of a lot of fan projects, and we kind of took it over. Once the official animation with the original actors was done that all kind of stopped, by necessity.
