The reason i satarted watching this show was because i like the Dead Fantasy videos Oum did. When i found out he was going to do a full show with a plot i was overjoyed. I had my beefs with the cast but i stuck it out and tried to see where it was going. I hated the school life stuff and the lack of cussing and blood (not that i like gore cuz i dont). But overall i love the show. But that doesnt mean its flawless. It has good potential but potential it may never reach if it follows the same formula other shows and games and comics have followed. 20 seasons is a long time. Likely a good 8 to 10 years. So theres room for change. Sad as i am that theyre making the choices theyre making now ill try to tough it out. But i cant guarantee i can stick with a show that long if it ends up just be a clone of other anime or manga. Ive turned other shows and comics loose for the same reason and it would wrong to stick with this one if it heads down this road.

I just wish there was a sign of things getting better. Like more hints in past seasons of things to come. For all we know its not impossible they could be looking over forums on net and shoveling fan ideas in the show. LOST did that and no one found out till seasons later. So if there is some grand script and theyre sticking to it i guess ill just have to grin and bare it. Or write my own stories more often.

PS: I never meant any insult to Scott Pilgram. I loved that movie and the comics. I was just stating my lamentation that Adam is more psycho than dark hero. I still dont want him to just never progress as a fighter. It seems lazy for a character to give or be unable to get stronger just cause their 20+ years old.
