I've been working on a project that combines the issues addressed in X-Men (i.e. segregation against those who have been demonized) with those of Transformers (i.e. conspiracy and interstellar sentience, energy crisis and technological mutilation) which I have wanted to turn into an animated series for the past six years. But I have been so nervous that it wouldn't be well-received since I don't have any experience with animation (or drawing at all) and I don't have the connections to make this dream a coherent reality. When it comes to movies, those self-proclaimed blockbusters that cost millions of dollars to produce, I can understand people having inflated standards as to what they'll find in-film. But an animated series? An animated web-series? There are a lot of anime out there that have a ridiculously large fanbase, each having it's faults in animation, voice-acting, and especially writing. It only gets harder as a series goes on. Yet fans remain loyal. I think people mostly judge harshly those things that they subconsciously don't believe they have time for. They don't want to make time for a new series, but they can't help but check it out. Then they make these excuses for why they will not watch as opposed to why they cannot afford to take time to watch it. They voice their opinions for others to hear because they have inflated egos and think they need to be heard, but really they mostly tend to offer no constructive criticism.

Why does the animation suck? Is it too static? Is it wonky? Is it random? Why is the walking funny? Because their legs continued to slide along the ground as they're taking a step? Why does the voice-acting suck? Answering this deeper questions is called "constructive criticism." Saying plainly that the show sucks is called "being an asshole."
