I appreciate your post, but the typo makes this read like a Tim and Eric sketch.

That is cute though
That is horrifyingly sad.
Because the new (read - old) profit model is making a shitty product and promising the next iteration, sequel, or remake will be the good one.
Star Wars is a great example. Why make a good one when a bad one breaks box office records? You get a fan base dedicated to seeing a good installment of their franchise and they'll fill seats even knowing it'll be bad. Why make a good product and sate their hunger when you can turn it into an addiction?
Makoto is an ally.
I know it's capeshit, but this was half the plot of Captain America: Winter Soldier. The other half was about a man getting over his ex boyfriend
I notice a gradual blurring of the line between fiction and reality.
Characters are no longer just a set of traits that can be adapted and updated to keep with the times. They're treated like real people, but in a fixed state with a right or wrong canon.
One of the earliest examples I can think of is Optimus Prime. A lot of lonely kids saw him as a father figure in the 80s and now it's hard to tell stories with him that break away from that image.
The recent Transformers canon describes the robots as genderless, using terms and knowledge that wasn't widely shared forty years ago. It's jarring to particularly reactionary fans who don't want to think of their projected father figure as anything but male.
I bring this up because the idea of canon can be really dangerous in the hands of a soulless corporation. This soulless corporation is selling canon to the highest bidder. Companies do it regularly, but with extra steps involved.
IP laws and the commodification of canon sets a bad precedent for art.

Just like the br*ts to export cis-heteronormativity and then condemn it when former colonies do it wrong.

I'm glad they don't want to touch what they fucked up, but I think this is a case of referring him to actual neurosurgeons to help him mitigate any potential damage at their own expense. They won't because that's admitting fault for litigation purposes, but Jesus that's bad.
