I always find these threads about gen vs gen on the EN side amusing. If you liked a more slap-dash and 'cobbled together kino' where the talents took everything into their own hands and the corpo aspect was just sort of there, the 2020-2022 era will be better. Events fully run by talents because management incompetance which lead to scuff but fun times and some pretty influential designs that were beloved by the community and still have a legacy today. Myth collabs were sometimes really awkward, but so are some of the newer gens collabs. I can admit that Advent get along well enough and have figured out their dynamic with each other, but I think ERB feels like an outsider in Justice and Raora just acts like a bimbo during their group collabs.
If you like the more structured, more 'traditional' JP style of events, prerecorded or sometimes live 3d events (those don't exist outside of pushing product now), merch, and more 'idol' (re:merchandising and 3d concerts) feeling, Advent and Justice are afforded much more opportunties for those than Myth and Promise were. Remember that Myth had to fly out to Ame's because Japan was still closed for travel, record everything for multiple 3d lives at her place (which was likely subpar for the editing process back in Japan) and then send all the footage to Japan to edit.
At the end of the day, some people liked the scrappy nature of what Myth and Promise were, and a majority of the 'fall-off' came because people were waiting for gen 3, but Cover chose to debut Holostars EN instead. It wasn't even a unicorm thing, but keeping up the momentum and giving people more to watch would have attracted more viewership when EN was at its hieght.
