Our Flag Means Death Cancellation
Max has actually revealed that they will no longer be moving on with the streaming series struck Our Flag Means DeathIt appears the total sensation about the choice is a bittersweet one with appreciation for the program originating from everybody who has actually dealt with it. No factor has actually been specified as to why the program was canceled.
Fans are ravaged by the news and are right away flooding the web with memes revealing simply how upset they are. I’ve seen numerous individuals currently canceling their Max accounts, not discovering the factor to continue offering the business anymore of their gay dollars– and I definitely do not blame them. This isn’t the very first time a queer program liked by lots of was canceled regardless of it achieving success.

If I had a nickel for each time a queer program that had a substantial fan base was canceled then I would have the ability to purchase a home in this economy with money. There appears to be a pattern being formed with huge production business producing queer material to bring in more unbiased audiences. In spite of the success of the programs, they cancel the queer material, attempting to have the finest of both worlds. This has actually likewise relatively occurred with The Owl Housethe Disney animated series, and Julie and The Phantomsthe Netflix initial, 2 precious programs that were canceled to the surprise of lots of.
In current times, computer game have actually likewise been branching off with queer material– with Baldur’s Gate 3 leading the charge in 2023. A lot of video games with queer material are indie made, while larger video game production business are following along at a snail’s rate. It has actually been excellent seeing a minimum of a bit of enhancement however nobody ought to exclaim in surprise “It’s queer!?” each time a tip of queerness is sprayed into an AAA video game or television program. I eagerly anticipate the day where having a pronoun option in a video game isn’t a debatelike with the release of Starfield in September 2023.
I am sorry to see Our Flag Means Death reducing its colors. I hope that business will keep in mind of the dissatisfaction in the devoted fans who have actually been pulled down by this option. I hope that possibly Taika Waititi will use up the mantel to end up the story however that may simply remain an enthusiastic dream.
