Greg responds...

I respect that you have wishes.

But I honestly don't know what you expect me to say to be "a little more sensitive".

Am I supposed to pretend that I agree with you?

I disagree that we don't respect our characters - any of our characters - no matter how minor. Nor do I think that any of them are being portrayed improperly. (Though I don't expect that 100% of our viewers are going to approve of 100% of our portrayals.)

And, as I've said many, many times before, there's ZERO agreement among the fandom as to which characters we're not giving enough screen-time to. So, if we featured your favorite characters more, there'd be a multitude of comments saying, "WHY ARE YOU FEATURING THEM, AND NOT THE ONES I WANT YOU TO FEATURE?!"

So given all that, we feature the ones we think our story is telling us to feature.

As to the issue of us "stuffing as many as possible in the show"... we're not doing that either. We bring in characters as the story dictates. And again, if I took a poll as to which characters not to add, in order to give more screen-time to other characters, I'd get no agreement there either. You say we have too many, but I get tons of comments begging for the addition of still more. "Where's Raven, dammit?!" "Give us Starfire!" etc.

So to whom should I listen?

Well, ultimately, the only thing that makes sense is for Brandon and I to listen to what the story is telling us.

I could pretend I'm sorry that that statement isn't more sensitive. Or I could just lay it out as our method of operation. I choose to do the latter.

And I try to pretend that I don't think your entire comment isn't entitled and myopic.

(Probably shouldn't have added that last sentence.)

Greg responds...

I agree that dark doesn't equate with mature. But you're implying that YJ ONLY got dark and didn't get more mature, and I don't agree with that at all. And that's on top of the fact, that I believe YJ remains thoroughly optimistic in its viewpoint. Oh, and probably not as dark as you think.

I don't assume I can convince you of this, but I guarantee that you're not going to convince me.

Greg responds...

I don't recall ever making "second-in-command" an official position in YJ's JL.

Greg responds...

I don't want to make firm decisions about something that we haven't yet explored in any detail. But she's Thal, not Hol.
