The Fourze portion was like someone's shit story on Fanfiction.net, filmed. Wish fulfilment, escapism, they were all cruxs to why Fourze worked for me, but spread out over fifty episodes, it's enjoyable, squashed into fifty minutes and it's just hell. Maybe if they had set it further in the future, or done some kind of build up, but instead I kept waiting for Gen to wake up and realise it was all some kind of daydream. And hell, for all the wish fulfilment it forced into the characters, even that provided little satisfaction for me as a fan of the series since the movie seemed to somehow misunderstand its own characters.
