>>1301533Yeah, that's the thing about trying to be creative and subvert a fandom's expectations. Much of the time it doesn't work out quite like you thought it would and you get backlash, so you have to learn how to take those shots and keep trying, and eventually you'll hopefully succeed. Then maybe people will look back on the shit they were previously pissed off about and realize what you were up to. Evangelion 25 and 26 and MGS2 are two good examples of that.
