User blog:MightyMed123/Disney XD - A new Direction?

Hello everyone,

You probably haven't seen me on the wiki for a while and I do not think that's about to change. I just wanted to have a break, take my time and accept some things, including "Lab Rats: Elite Force" ending.

Unfortunately, I keep on failing to understand and justify Disney XD's new "philosophy". When I was informed about the show's discontinuation I was disappointed of course, but I decided to ignore that, since Lab Rats had its full 4 seasons and Mighty Med was given a chance through LREF (at least that was the concept). Maybe they were thinking of spicing things up a little bit, search for something "fresh".

When I finally managed to get over that, Disney XD didn't waste time and struck again, this time cancelling Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. Normally, I would be ok with that (well, at least I would gradually accept that). But there were so many plot points that were left unanswered. This also applies to Elite Force.

To cut to the chase, the question I have is the following: Why did both of these shows end on a MAJOR cliffhanger?! This is just unacceptable for the fans. Disney XD choosing to shut down these shows for "business" and not "creativity" reasons is just mind blowing, their legacy was completely annihilated. I just cannot believe how poorly they managed to handle the situation.

This is all I had to say and I'm sorry if anyone finds it any offensive towards anything. I really wanted to let that out of me. I guess views are the only thing that matters, which is sad because those series' fan base was smaller than it deserved to be.

So, looks like the new direction is focusing on low-cost animated series. Meh, I so miss the old times.
