How do you deal with coming across media you dislike about your favorite show/manha
This is a general question btw with no ill intent to the cast and fandom itself.
I've been an on and off fan of one piece for a few years now and I've avoided OPLA religiously because LAs are often disappointments (looking at Kuroshitsuji, AOT, DBZ, ATLA...) and I admittedly am one of those people who are very picky and sensitive when it comes to adaptations of their fav works. I've seen the casting choices and I felt disconcerted about the portrayals of some of my favorite characters but I kept it to myself and just didn't engage.
I've been keeping my peace until recently when my room mate started watching it. I got forced to watch it because she always starts when I start preparing dinner and the kitchen area directly faces the living room TV. It was fine at first but as time went on I felt like the work I came to love so much became more and more... Idk, smudged? It didn't feel right to me. The deviations, random changes, acting choices, certain casting choices etc. it felt like I was watching a role play.
I won't get into detail about the things I disliked since it might start unnecessary drama but I genuinely need advice on how to remove myself from this headspace, every time I think about it, it bugs me. Every time I come across clips of it (yes, somehow it started invading my feed too.) I feel even more distaste for it. I even found out that actors for some of my fav characters are asscheeks. It sucks. I don't even want to care about it but I just keep doing it unconsciously and making myself suffer. What do I do help
as someone whos really into mo dao zu shi or mdzs (a piece of literature with like 7+ adaptations with more being created)
the best advice i have is to try to think of them as seperate things. or just what they are, adaptations. going in with the expectation of inaccuracies is how ive survived this long ╥﹏╥ 1 reply
