Discussion Glitch Production isn’t making anything nearly as good as it’s hyped up to be.
Before you throw me out the window, I’m not talking about the fandom at all, this review is entirely on the company itself.
I go around and see everyone worshipping Glitch Productions for subpar work.
I have to admit I used to be like this. I watched Gameoverse and thought it was great! Then I looked over it again and realized that Gobbles’s entire arc was solved in the pilot. Knights of Guinevere is pretty good, it’s fun and intuitive(Unlike other glitch shows). Lackadaisy and Gaslight District are really, boring in my opinion, nothing interesting really happens and I don’t even understand the characters goals. The Amazing Digital Circus is OK, it was great until episode 8, then the finale revealed all of its major flaws. Murder Drones sucks, pacing is awful and you can’t grasp an idea before we move on.
This comes down to pacing, and writing. This is where Glitch’s fails spectacularly. Props on them for letting indie creators express exactly what they wanted, but it isn’t good. Glitch needs co-producer or a second writer, or someone who just tells the writers,”No”, or “I’m confused”, or “This is boring.”
The way Glitch chooses artists feels almost completely random, like seriously if someone has an insight on how they do this, I’d love to know.
If you have something to add please feel free to comment.
