I believe he was making the point that to do something impressive you actually have to be clever in terms of how you manage expectations, the story, the fan base, the fan reactions and the show. Simply ending it with simply an action packed 12 and 12 would not be impressive from either a business or a future story perspective. It might be fun to watch but it would phail on many levels from a meta perspective and a story perspective.modelmotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005411582406219607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-81956045192038934822008-07-10T08:38:00.000-07:002008-07-10T08:38:00.000-07:00I thought the same thing Qthec.

I'm surprised modelmotion gets all that he does get.<BR/><BR/>I remember very clearly if everyone was simply killed off you are not impressing anyone.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a main character killed off, but my guess is that the possible return of most of them will be left more open than that, and we just won't know until the new show gets underway.<BR/><BR/>I would add that the LOST approach (once a character dies on the show, they are really dead except for flashbacks) is important for how the audience relates to the story. You can have a few surprises (where what appears to have happened turns out to be otherwise), but most events we 'see' in videos need to be solid - otherwise, the story never moves forward, and the audience disbelieves everything. If Bree or Gina show up alive, many might cheer, but long term, it would tend to destroy any dramatic tension for future dangerous situations character might face.<BR/><BR/>KateModern went for a mainly happy ending, and I expect lonelygirl15 will also.QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-86630306447519773482008-07-10T04:01:00.000-07:002008-07-10T04:01:00.000-07:00I agree that EQAL has a bit of a problem with how ...I agree that EQAL has a bit of a problem with how to relaunch while keeping the "lonelygirl15" channel subscribers (almost 111K) on YouTube. I wonder if YouTube would allow them to rename the channel while keeping the subscribers? <BR/><BR/>Redearth88 ran into a similar problem on a smaller scale (with the 3400+ subscribers on the original redearth channel, but only 469 subscribers on the main redearth88 channel).<BR/><BR/>It's kind of a weird issue, because subscriber count does increase views (important for marketing), but looking at the YouTube top100 (by subscribers), YouTube popularity is certainly no indication of quality. See: http://www.bkserv.net/YTS/YTTop100.aspx?p=1<BR/>Broadly speaking, it appears to be dominated by stuff that appeals to young teenagers. If EQAL pursues the metric of YouTube popularity to the exclusion of other considerations, I'm not sure it will result in a show I would be interested in. Smosh sucks.QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.com
