I mean everyone know by the time this is finished ppl especially wont give two fucks about among us anymore right? Like they know that game was a perfect flash in a pan moment

Eh, I think you might be underestimating the nostalgia people will have for something that helped them connect with other people in 2020 during the pandemic.

And it's an animated series, not a theater release. I think people will watch it.

The game itself is still kinda popular with kids. Especially the free versions on mobile and VR.

Yeah, but damn near everything is some sort of adaptation now. You've almost got to ignore that it's an existing brand at all. There's "animated Red Dwarf" potential there, and if it sucks, as it very well could, no one will care that the Among Us lore was "betrayed."
