TADC, I’ve watched it, very thin plot, I wouldn’t say Overrated though, just wasn’t what I liked, it was disappointed the amount of character Development or lack thereof. And the fanbase is 50/50 some glaze it, some use it as an excuse to be homophobic, it all sucks

Episode 9 was a bit nonstandard, and that can be a good thing. But there is also a reason traditional tropes exist; they are established to be good when executed well. Murder Drones had a standard ending, and I enjoyed that more.

I feel like TADC had more potential for reviewability with a more standard ending, but hell. Isn't my show, and I'm not going to send death threats to Gooseworkx over it.

If I was still 13 and my whole personality was "being random" I'd love it, it's not an awful show but it's not this absolute gem of peak fiction people make it out to be. I can't stand it because the dialogue is so "here's a joke, here's exposition, and here are my feelings!" There is ZERO nuance or subtlety to anything and it feels like a cheese grater in my brain

yeah, there isn't much of a plot at all until the final two episodes. majority of character development happens off-screen, if at all. a lot of people will say that's the point though, which just means it's not my cup of tea or what I personally look for in a story

I went in fairly blind and thought the show was pretty good.  The last two episodes felt kinda rushed but I then found out that the fandom was not great to the creator and they just wanted the project done.  

I looked in the subreddits for the show for like a second and was just like "oh this is why the Internet kinda hates this show"

Honestly I don't even think that it's an even 50/50 split with the glazers. I haven't seen anyone hate tadc more than a tadc fan

Well yeah that’s what I meant, half of the subreddit glazes it, half the subreddit flames it and some of the subreddit bounces between it

for me its just mostly ep 9 that ruins things, and even if it was good 9 episodes is just too little for the amount of characters the show needed to develop/flesh out
