The Problem with PR - I'm looking at you TeenWolf

chasingshhadows:

This isn’t a site I was familiar with before now, but I’m about to become very familiar. This is an absolutely stellar article summing up pretty much my feelings on all things Teen Wolf right now. 

The writing is upbeat and interactive and drops enough truth bombs to keep you from getting bored. 

Seriously everyone, read this article. These are just a few of the gems you’ll find:

You cannot use your fans to win polls and popularity contests and then turn around and act like they’re the red-headed stepchild.

Don’t TELL me I’m going to love the character. MAKE ME love the character via the show. That’s the damn point.

Using the death of a main character as a PR stunt cheapens the emotional intensity of the moment and ruins the impact. In short, don’t do that.

They do things like that, which require some sort of critical thinking skills, and then they leave gaping plot holes and unanswered questions because they clearly don’t think anyone will be paying attention.

If you expect your audience to notice subtle things like that, to look beneath the surface, then stop getting mad at them when they notice other things.
