100% agreed.

The only reason the political debate surrounds the show is because people are invested in the universe.... Fans basically. If people didn't like the universe they wouldn't care about or watch any of the political debates concerning the show.

The very fact a huge cottage industry exists critiquing the show means there is a huge fan base for it.

If the existing audience doesn't like the new show, and a new audience isn't pulled in to replace them, then your going to have a money problem.

I'm glad, and impressed, Disney is taking big creative risks, that's great, that's how we get new stories and franchises. Sometimes those risks don't pan out, we shouldn't be upset with the fans when that happens.
