>>13695837Some of Council's flubs are due to choices on Cover on multiple fronts - dragged out the debuts too long which killed the "oh shit new holos!" hype and also gave time for people to build up expectations too high. See all the Mumei shit how people hoped real bad she would be some GSG nerd - she heard that loud and clear and attempted to actually work in her theme initially, and management clearly went "no, you MUST play minecraft and nintendo games, you MUST treat your audience like it's 5 years old."
Other flubs are more on unspoken things like Bae's personality not matching the lore at all and feeling really forced, Sana being "welp apparently dark skin really is a massive debuff" and other things in the background. Factor in Omega also being a "fucking what, why" deal and the whole thing completely lacks that magical serendipitous feeling in the air Myth had.
Oh and finally basically all of them besides maybe Bae/Fauna have shown to have a level of interest/commitment to this as if it's just some little janky thing to do on the side instead of really get into this as a role/lifestyle for themselves. When the streamer herself feels transparently like she's just clocking into this as a 9 to 5 deal getting in her required hours dragging through the week, well fuck, do you THINK that fucking inspires hype, loyality and dedication in the audience? Hell no. With Myth, most of them literally needed this to turn their lives around, it was rags-to-riches sweet cinderella stories for almost all of them. You really don't get that kind of impression of appreciation from Council whatsoever. The Myths went into this not knowing if it was gonna be successful or not so put in the effort and care to help it succeed, and reflected their gratitude/appreciation in their content - Council is full of people who didn't really-really need it but just wanted a gravy train. It might take EN management some time to learn/figure out their bearings of how to filter out golddiggers (of which several are in Council) for the next round because clearly they fucked up this time, we got some Ayames JUST like JP Gen 2 has a bunch of fuckups as well.
Meanwhile HoloX did the opposite blindsiding us to ride that initial shock wave and that is clearly the way to go, literally the most successful pace for Holos ever so far, and also being good solid designs/voices so far with no immediate yabs like Nene/Aloe last go. So far..
