They cancelled Vagrant Queen :(

Oh, awwwww. That sucks. I know they didn’t seem to be doing so well, but like, they barely seemed to promote it and it’s understandable why but it’s also understandable why people weren’t really watching during these times! A blow to lose a wlw Black lead so quickly.

Ugh! My heart broke with Vagrant Queen tonight. Amae’s face when she was forced to do that to Elida. I felt her pain.

Oof, yeah, I knew as soon as Amae came to Elida what was gonna happen, but I thought it was just leading her to a trap, which would have been awful enough, not stabbing her! It was horrible to watch but Elida was so forgiving, it was so nice to see. I mean, it’s not Amae’s fault and she obviously didn’t deserve Elida being mad at her, but sometimes that’s harder for your heart to accept than your mind, but Elida is just constantly hurt by people and then forgiving them.

I was about to start watching vagrant queen but the comment about the violence put me off. I thought it would be a fun adventure show like killjoys, but I take it it’s not the case?

Oh, it is, it’s campy and goofy, more so than KJ maybe, and I guess that’s how I take the violence, but the other anon’s not wrong, every once in a while you’ll see people being tortured or hurting themselves and it’s just…there, not even that cartoonish, though it’s treated like it is, and then we just move on from that back to the jokes. It’s not particularly to my sense of humor, but it’s also not a dealbreaker for me.

I’m finally catching up on vagrant queen and like, as much as I love a lot of the things it’s at least trying to be, the frequent graphic and gory violence is *really* excessive tbh

now that I’m thinking about it, I wonder if the uptick in graphic violence in vagrant queen is related to it getting moved to a later time slot (whether it’s the *reason* for the move, or they just were now able to put it in after the move)

Heh, I laughed at the 9 hours between these.

I think the whole season was shot at once, like, for sure there wasn’t any shooting after the announcement and most likely not much editing either. But maybe, the last few eps have been pretty violent, but weren’t they always, from the start? It was actually a thing I was beginning to dislike, how many side characters were being killed, often graphically, like, how can you get attached to characters when they’re always dying, but I think they’re using the same actors again? I did like that, but that implies there’s gonna be a lot of death as they keep cycling them.

Anyway, I do get your point but I guess I just tune it out to the point of not noticing it now.
