MY rant about Detective Conan and why the shit story is a fault of capitalism
okay so this may not even be as long as im imagining it in my head, but its just making me angry and i have to share my thoughts on this.
in short i think capitalism is what ultimately ruined the dcmk universe
if you really think about it, i feel like detective conan started out as an episodic manga/anime, but after seeing the success, they just wanted to make more to make more money, and ever so slowly it became a serialized manga/anime.
what this means ??? serialised series don"t have a plot, they can be watched in whatever order, episodic series' have an overarching plot, this is how detco started out as, shinichi getting shrunk by BO; having a clear goal; having stakes; after seeing the money roll in, they didn't want to stop, so they just.... kept adding story beats kept making it more and more complicated, to the point that (in my opinion) theres no concise plot anymore !!!! its all a big story salad that's gotten serialized, and we're being fed crumbs of lore being drenched in the salad dressing of an expected ending that WILL NOT COME! it wont, because if detco end the profit ends, and in this hellish system noone who participated with enjoyment wants that !
so yeah i think there wont be any dead set ending to this franchise because it brings in the money because it has been dressed up in the jacket of serialization. i don't think theres a canon anymore, like yes theres some plot but its just so convoluted, and theres so many things that its such a big mess that it becomes unimportant. I feel like im just following a carrot on a stick.
I just found out so many spoilers for the new Detective Conan movie so be warned I am going to spill all that I've learned.
Yusaku and Toichi aka the fathers of Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba are revealed to be Brothers meaning Shinichi and Kaito are COUSINS!!!! (The reason why they have different last names is because their parents divorced and they each took a last name depending on which parent they went to live with.)
Kaito's father, Toichi Kuroba is confirmed to be alive. (I knew it)
Conan met Aoko Nakamori and she mentioned how he resembled her childhood friend. (Kaito Kid duh)
Ran helps Heiji with finding the perfect spot to confessed to Kazuha that is even better than Big Ben. Ran is reminded of Shinchi's confession in London and it's revealed Big Ben is her favourite place in the whole world and apologizes to Shinichi in her heart, but she is determined to support Heiji.
At the end of the movie, Heiji is finally able to confess his love to Kazuha at long last.... but she didn't hear him all because of Momiji and her damn butler, Iori interfering in their relationship yet again!!! (Glad I didn't get my hopes up)
And that's all I know. If I learn anymore news I'll update this post.
