And I'm not defending a show I haven’t seen yet, I'm just sick of the attitude some people have around here. You can call a show shit if it actually is shit; I don’t care, but going around and doom saying a show that is three months away from being aired is stupid.

You can dislike and criticize the designs all you want, like I do, because I think they look horrible, but you called the whole show shit. And you have no reason to because the show isn’t out yet.

Except when you can, like when Fox makes a Dragon ball movie and every design and actor choice shown before the movie's release through posters and trailers screams "this is not worth your time", or when a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out and the black member is yet again not the scientist, just a normal person next to her 3 smart white friends, and they tell you this through the trailers and online information handed out, leading you to think "I tolerated this when I was younger, why is this new movie doing the exact same thing but pretending to be different?"

If the show wasn't out yet AND we hadn't seen Rider that look like cheap McDonald's toys, then saying we hate the show already would be bullshit. But instead we've at least seen how our main hero, therefore the focus, is going to look, and if that doesn't hook some of us we are allowed to call it shit. A television show is both a visual pleasure and a storytelling experience. If the story is Shakespearean amazing but you have to look at utter garbage to experience it, why put yourself through that when you can instead watch something that's both visually appealing and has a good story, instead of settling because "well the designs are horrible, but I don't know the story yet so let me subject myself to this hot mess in the undeserving hope that it talks better than it looks".

Me, I'll maybe watch 3 episodes before I give up based on what I'm seeing here, but no one is required to apply themselves to your way of judging when it's time to call something shit, and considering the times you've been hard on a season other's have liked while it's still airing, that's not really fair of you to get on Syntax for being critical in their own way beforehand.
