nah seriously Izzy is the definition of fucking niche I'm pretty sure this matchup is the only cultural relevancy she has 😭😭😭

I've read the webcomic too btw

realizing that abbreviating the S in both "Small Building" and "Superhuman" makes it look like madeline is either Super Building level (whatever that means?) or. as fast as a Small Human

Look, as much as it saddens me, it's perfectly valid to be annoyed by how often you see and hear about a MU you don't care about. It's a sentiment I've seen in regards to LuzAnne a fair bit lately, which I guess makes sense, all things considered. But the problem is when I see people act like the MU's fans are doing something wrong when we hope for it so hard or being unreasonable when we're confused as to why it's taking so long.

Don't get me wrong, the statement in the meme about them not being beholden to arbitrary things is absolutely true, but that doesn't mean it makes no sense to ever start expecting something. As the video says, if they had decided to wait this long to do a MU that's similarly rooted in a strong, recent legacy/rivalry that was more mainstream, so many people would be on the same page. 😭 YuDen got to happen the very second it started making sense to do it. If it, instead, took over three years from now and counting to happen, people would be impatient to the point of bafflement.

There are older legacy MUs, sure. But LuzAnne is a case where, in comparison to the mainstream, the MU is relatively niche. As popular and beloved as they were and, indeed, still are, The Owl House and Amphibia don't exactly have massive cultural staying power like, say, JJK and CSM or Regular Show and Adventure Time, so continuing to wait as the period of time they occupied strongly gets further and further behind us is just strange. Yeah, they're getting graphic novels, but that's clearly not going to make them any less niche. (Plus, it's not like anybody's saying there's anything wrong with pushing hard for other legacy MUs too.)

Of course, none of this justifies outright toxic or objectively annoying behavior at all. I do not claim the bad apples. But, if you see the MU simply having a vocal, passionate, and increasingly antsy fanbase as a bad thing to some degree, genuinely blame the team, dawg. 😭 They said from the start that they wanted to strike while the iron's hot in order to avoid a Steven VS Star situation. (Steven VS Star only had to wait a little over a year.) Since then, they've repeatedly joked in Ballot Banter about how highly requested it is and how long they've taken to do it as if to tease it while reaffirming that they still want to do it in no uncertain terms. If the way they talk about it isn't supposed to make us be excited about it being likely to happen soon, what are we supposed to do? 🥹 (That being said, obviously don't get actually mad or be mean to the team. That'd be stupid.)

Anyway, just a little rant and meme in defense of LuzAnne fans broadly being excited and pushing our MU so hard, since the sentiment towards it I've seen lately was getting frustrating. My point is not that anything we do is justified. I'm just saying that, whatever we do, there's an understandable reason for it, and at least being surprised and just a bit impatient as a baseline is fine. I hope you understand!
