>>15132660The producers all egotrip and start to think they can create stories, rather than tell stories.
Forged In Fire went through the same shit. The presenter quit because the producers were meddling way too much with the competition for it to be a proper competition, from uneven rulings to artificially causing problems for certain competitors and overtly favouring the judge whenever the judge participates.
The judges are paid $10k per episode. They have no reason to get greedy, yet they do.
And they have no qualifications for bladesmithing.
A Hollywood prop guy who's never made an authentic reproduction judges these final assignments on historical accuracy.
The martial arts expert swings the claymore so the flat of the blade hits the target and bends into a hook. Historically accurate, you can bend it straight, knights did that all the time, but it was a disqualifying problem in the show and the guy swung it wrong on purpose because the producers preferred the story of the other competitor.
History Channel does more shoot interviews when discussing the Tesla files and ancient ayy shit than it does when real life happens in front of them, just because "I like the story better".
Nat Geo, Discovery, BBC, they're all the same.
Planted boxes in Storage Wars because the auction had nothing.
Planted phoney merchants who "found" this priceless artifact in their ass and brought it to the pawn shop and it's not even real gold.
Interviewing only the winning side of the war and painting the losers in a bad light even when factual evidence proves this guy they feature is a hero.
Saying you did everything for the show when all the evidence, stories and presentations prove that when you stepped in you swung your big Hollywood dick around and tried to rebook the entire PPV for yourself, by yourself, talent be damned.
Fuck media, seriously.
