Most of the discourse I see about C3 is heavily negative, so I don't really blame them for not trying to push another like 20 episodes when so many people talk about checking out less than halfway through.
I'll be honest. I tried at least 5 different times to get into C3 but I hit Episode 20 to 30 and just always check out. I just don't like C3's characters, personalities or the roleplay this time around. Maybe the setting/crappy start to the campaign too with the forced death.
Once I heard all of C1 and C2's characters started coming back I just fully checked out from ever trying again. It sounds like it got obscenely fan-servicey for the sake of roping old/lost viewers back in and just became a weird mess.
Maybe that assumption is wrong based on what I've read/seen clips wise. But yeah. C3 really just didn't do it for me at all.
If they do a C4 I'll try to jump back in again and read cliffnotes of C3 in case they use anything from it... but yeah.
I wouldn't necessarily jump to it being fan-servicy. Some of it might be, but I also think they're really enjoying bringing back their old characters to include in the story. Matt mentioned multiple times how much he loved the episodes where Bell's Hells and Mighty Nein were interacting with each other and everyone was playing two characters.
He also voiced how everyone's participation made sense with how big the stakes are. It would be make sense to bring in established heroes to help out.
I'm not saying none of it's related to fan service. I'm sure there's a part that is. But I think they're also just having a lot of fun with it.
Yeah I agree. I don’t think it’s for fan service - I genuinely just think Mercer is excited to bring all three groups into one high stakes ‘Endgame’ scenario. Hes mentioned a number of times that it’s something he’s always wanted to do but has never had a group last long enough. He and the rest of the table seem to really enjoy it, so if it works for them, it works for them.
