Re: Well that's whack

In Response To: Re: Well that's whack (Bry)


: The game, no.

: My enjoyment of the HBO community, yeah. Somewhat.

: When it forms the majority of your social interactions, its a bit sad when
: the majority of what you're reading about is whining and an emphasis on
: how good Halo used to be and how bad things are now.

Aside from the question of whether or not that's actually true-- whether things now are bad, or if they were better in the past, or whether it's even true that these are the opinions currently on the forum-- isn't this an arc that most cultural institutions experience?

Are there franchises that go on for decades and maintain a certain level of quality or interest, let alone consistently improve from iteration to iteration, never wavering, to say nothing of the fickle interests of the public?

Whether accurate to life or not, don't most people eventually develop the perception that things they like were best when they first started to like them, and eventually they change, or become worse? Isn't that an inevitable consequence of being an audience member, even if it actually says nothing about the works themselves?
