I've been brainrotting over Gen Loss so here is my literal only complaint about the project (and honestly I'm just picky so)

I know the one complaint of Genloss everyone has been giving is pacing but for me specifically it's the pacing of the third episode. Like the first two yes there were a lot of awkward pauses where voting went too long but you can't really do anything about that when filming-
-live, plus it can easily be cut short in the founder's cut. The third episode however I think should've been dragged out way more. I feel like there were several reveals/realizations that happened that the characters very quickly move on from and I wish they had reveled in it-
-a bit more. Ranboo's character especially was hardly given time to really question things as they were constantly dismissed by Hetch. While the dismissal makes sense, I wish Ranboo would've continued the line of questioning a bit more regardless to really convey that panic and-
-confusion. I personally really loved Ranboo's acting so I wish they'd been given the chance to show it off more. Similarly, I wish Hetch's character had been given more time to build. The third episode is the only one where he's really present, so it was the defying episode of-
-his character. If the episode had been stretched out further, suspicion could've been built at a slower pace, making the reveal heavier. Also, I really wish he had taken more time with his whole villain speech at the end. Villain monologues are such a staple in showing a-
-character's true colors by explaining their intentions to the protagonist and the audience. Normally they take so long it leads to their eventual downfall, but with Hetch it's interesting because no matter how long they could've taken Ranboo never would've gotten out of that-
-scenario. So I really wish Hetch had stretched out their victory, giving us more character and really building up the dread in the audience as well as Ranboo, who can't do anything but sit there and watch. Overall I just wish each moment was given more time to marinate before-
-moving onto the next sequence, though I will be the first to say pacing is so difficult with scenes where characters are in a hurry. Letting scenes stretch out while simultaneously showing characters are rushing is so hard and I have no idea how to do it, so I understand the-
-struggle. Even with the funky pacing the story was still so easy to be invested in and that ending really grabs you by the throat no matter how quickly you reach it. I loved the project so much, I'm just really picky with acting and pacing cuz I'm always critquing myself LMAO
Gen1 was absolutely fantastic and I can't wait for both the founder's cut as well as the future generations!! So proud of you Ranboo so excited to see what's next <3 <3 #genlosshelp
And sorry for the ramble I'm just brainrotting very hard [skull emoji]
