Episode Description

KABOOM! This week, V and Emily discuss a fandom that V was very much in, and is very much no longer in. Because no one is. Because the showrunner used the Hulu reboot to give a gigantic middle-finger to 15 years of passionate fandom. Why?! Why must showrunners Punish?!? Featuring also: Sex and the City and, of course, Marvel (but we promise it's not all Endgame salt for once). We also get pretty deep into a discussion of whether artists "owe" their audience anything and, for more of the episode, the issue of fictional people not being allowed to grow and change -- and how fanfiction is the one place where that's encouraged.
