It's gotten three reviews so far and they're all complaints about the lack of Godzilla. Fuck, man. Hasn't ANYONE ever heard of STORY DEVELOPMENT???!!!

But nah. Nah. People nowadays don't want to read a fanfiction or see a movie to get involved with a story, because that requires BRAIN PROCESSING. No, people want to see and read SPECTACLE. Y'know that there are Godzilla films which are more STORY-driven as opposed to SPECTACLE-driven, right? I get it but listen dude, I gotta be honest, you need to work better on handling critism. First the Powerpuff girls thing and now this. Accepting people's opinions is part of growing as a writer imo. Not everyone is gonna like your story.

Personally I think no crossover should focus on one franchise over the other, but if you're just developing the story and setting things up, take your time, and I'm sure it'll get better. Don't always assume there is nothing wrong with your work and that it's the person critising it, that won't get you very far. I get that. I get that the writing isn't perfect and that it won't please everyone. As a moderately experienced writer I've had to endure criticism and hate from other people and as time has gone on I've grown to adapt to it. Not ACCEPT it. ADAPT to it.

But that's not my problem. The people posting the reviews on the story aren't posting anything MEAN, per say, they're just being impatient because in their minds, all they're thinking is "OKAY ENOUGH STORY! TIME FOR ACTION!"

And to be honest, it really seems that this problem is mainly prevalent with the Godzilla community. Out of all 5 main fandoms I'm a part of (Marvel, PPG, Halo, Terminator, and Godzilla), the Godzilla fandom seems to be the least patient in terms of reading a story and waiting for the action, which is why fans like to shit on good movies like Destroy All Monsters or Godzilla 2014 because of their lack of action. Every other, and I do mean EVERY OTHER, fandom I am a part of always welcomes and encourages story development, even if it does sacrifice a tad bit of action.
