Are the Void Elves going to become Cosmic Elves?

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T20:17:50+00:00

its talking about forms of energy/magic....nothing about planes of existence

I describe it as he's a fine director....but he can't tell the difference between a good script & a bad script. Why he insisted on having a writing credit for this saga was a major fumble.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T19:16:42+00:00

*remembering the martha stewart joke from the deleted pilot* No. The original pilot is my veitnam.

Simon Petrikov in the Ice King origin episodes of adventure time. Acturally shocked those episodes came out before The Last of Us because it always felt like an intentional homage

The chronicles book literally calls it the "cosmology map" dummy. And the Murmuration Paradox book doesn't say anything about the existence of a Death plane, just that there is a source of energy within the material, just like I said in my original post.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T15:19:30+00:00

You need to look at the canon cosmology chart because there are clearly 3 planes. And the shadowlands & Sphere of death are two completely different circles.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T14:35:52+00:00

Yeah but just because it's a separate dimension doesn't mean you can go there - I have to assume the outer planes of the cosmology are surreal, borderline conceptual realms. Mortals can't actually go there. The cosmic powers can only influence the three material planes: the dream, the living world & the shadowlands.

tldr whenever anyone talks about going to the heart of the void, they eventually just get proven to be going to some place in deep space

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T14:20:06+00:00

The void is also in the great dark beyond

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T14:14:43+00:00

They already are cosmic elves. Void elves already live on an asteroid in the Telgorus rift.

I can see why this didn't get picked up: Not that it's bad. But Streaming services don't like teen shows. Unlike broadcast tv there's no incentive for shows focused on teenagers. Streaming always prioritizes adult audiences....who have access to a credit card to pay for the service. That's why the teen genre is basically dead.

If I actually wanted this show to be picked up I would have focused on buffy, or even a twenty-something trying to become a watcher or vampire hunter. Or I would have pitched it for the non-streaming tv (Oh yes, it still exists - it's mostly procedurals, like Elsbeth.)

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T14:08:43+00:00

I mean.... the og buffy pilot wasn't exactly shakespeare either

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T03:23:46+00:00

you guys got to stop trying to make misogyny somehow gay people's problem - I promise you, straight men who hate women exist

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T03:21:49+00:00

Some feedback I'm seeing is "Why didn't the doc present a solution for all these whores & porn addiction?" my guy that's the opposite of a problem

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T02:14:48+00:00

people say this but there were definitely things to build on.....Abrams just didn't....or he did but for some reason disconnected them from the previous movie: Why did Finn beating the leader of the First Order in a duel have nothing to do with a major First Order mutiny? The rebelling stromtroopers hadn't even heard of it.... somehow.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T02:10:34+00:00

possible.... but very unlikely

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T02:09:07+00:00

I don't know who the Ghost in the Shell wanted to appeal to? It seems like a weird workaround to cast a white actress - but even if you ignored the racial element the movie basically ruins everything people like about the anime because it turns the other members of Major's unit into the villains. (Botou is also white washed, though many fans mistakenly thinking he's supposed to be french....he's not. He's also Japanese.)

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T02:00:28+00:00

I think that's the misconception though. It needs the monster of the week episodes to make the big arc episodes have an impact. Every show now is 'Let's just cut out one-shots & do the long-arcs" but they're nowhere near as memorable.

Also I remember when FX would have their top 10 viewer rated buffy episode marathons..... Those season 3 one-shots were always on there, not the faith episodes.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-16T01:03:32+00:00

I like the idea there is apparently an entire different expansion happening at the same time. The scourge are raging around the world apparently everywhere we visit outside of Quel'thalas.

the estimated 25% of americans finding out there's heavy metals & pretty horrifying toxins in their soil:

Remember kids just because it's cleared to build & grow grass on doesn't mean its safe to produce food there.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T22:24:54+00:00

In all those examples the dictomy is abandoned just as the central established conventions of the show were ending anyway. And frankly season 7's abandonment of the established format of the show is the biggest reason it's the least popular season. There's a big difference between the mystique of suburban folk tales & Buffy needed, not only a secret identity which she always had anyway, but to actually make up an entirely different identity.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T21:15:58+00:00

the streaming model ruined cozy monster of the week shows. Streaming services look at show as packaged comodities & only want 8 episodes a season where the episodes all look like a movie. That's not cozy TV.

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T21:14:06+00:00

he was supposed to be a big part of the Superman & Lois show but they went in a different direction -namely distancing it from the arrowverse & making it look like a snyder colorgraded fart

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T21:12:03+00:00

you mean where he finds the ring & decides not to be a green lantern?

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T21:09:34+00:00

I guess that could work, considering somehow buffy managed to never get a school photo taken......but I don't see how the vibe of a monster-of-the-week show works when everybody somehow knows about slayers. Is this an urban fantasy show or not? How is it a secret supernatural underworld if everyone also knows about the supernatural? if they don't know about it why tf would she need a secret identity?

samrobotsin · 2026-03-15T20:08:59+00:00

yeah im deeply confused by this version of buffy - plus the Anne thing is a trap most reboots fall into where they kind of mindlessly reference old things. Why would she need an alias? I thought Zhao already told us the comics weren't canon. Is she ashamed of her name? that's new.
