>>80192172Rrat: Based on the fact that Omega was the producer for IRyS's music video, and judging from the way Project Hope was handled; the larger-scale goal could be to basically show that the talents were not as important as the production team behind them. Everyone was making tons of fanfiction about Atlantis, time travel, the Ancient Ones, and Takamori, so they got deluded into believing that Myth's popularity stemmed primarily from lorefagging instead of the other way around, and decided to lean heavily into it for the next wave. If Council had exploded even stronger than Myth, they would have seen this as proof for their stance, which would be pleasing to behind-the-scenes management - it means basically everyone from production to front-facing talent becomes more replaceable, brand risk drops a whole lot, profit increases, and the IP is worth much more. Everyone in the company wins but the talents. That's also likely why so many holoEN girls were doomposting and moping about for 2022. The last gasp was with Tempus and that overproduced comic, and when that cratered too, the entire idea got canned.
