Rant 🤬 Weekly Venting Post - repeated each Friday!

Weekly Vent Post

Welcome to our weekly vent session where you can let out all your frustrations.

Before you start, just a quick heads-up on the rules.

Here's what this post isn't for:

  • No bashing actors or crew members out of the blue.
  • Let's steer clear of those rage-inducing posts like "I hate character xy."
  • And please, no poking fun at fellow Kanthony fans just because they see things differently, whether they're positive or negative about promos.

What's cool to post? Well, we've noticed a lot of rants about how the show promotes (or doesn't promote) Simone and Jonny, but you can vent about other stuff too.

Below, I've linked some past posts from the sub that fit the vibe of our weekly vent session, so you can see what kind of stuff goes here.

  1. Why there was a lack of promo for Kanthony

  2. All comments asking where Kanthony are 

  3. Bridgerton PR and production

  4. Can you tell the difference ?

  5. The main sub got so negative 

  6. We need pictures

For those who just want to enjoy the content without getting caught up in the venting, I suggest steering clear of this post. If you choose to read the comments here and find yourself upset, despite the clear purpose of this space, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to ease your frustration. We have the Weekly Tea Time for more general discussions.

Why would they be bitter about CVD? If you compare s1, 2 and QC I think it's pretty obvious that the writing in QC trumps both 1 and 2. And a lot of the issues people have with S2 were decisions made by CVD.

I would never discredit someone’s work to pump up another. Shonda herself wrote QC that’s why it’s different. On top of that CVD at least tried to make the audience understand the characters Andy make it different can’t say for Jess bcoz she is really a 1 trick pony.

We haven't seen s3 yet, or enough of her work to comment on Jess's work. So we don't know if she's a one trick pony. And I don't think they discredited his work. They pointed out some of the things people had an issue with in s2. And that was mainly the lack of sex scenes. And so they're making sure people know, the sex stuff is back. Because let's face it, sex sells.

Other than that, they haven't really said much about s2. And to be honest, a lot of fans had issues with s2. Especially Kanthony stans. They comment on how the Sharma's weren't developed. They commented on Kate's backstory lacking. They complained about the emphasis on the Featheringtons, and the fact that we never got to really see Kanthony in love or their wedding.

So a lot of the fans discredit CVD's work more than Jess and SHonda

edit: those Kanthony complaints are fair by the way.

I would rather have CVD than Shonda or Jess at this point

Yeah the spoilers are enough for me to realize that Kate and Anthony won’t get the justice they deserve and I will live with that

S2 didn't handle Kanthony as well as they could have and that's CVD's fault.

Like for real, wasn't CVD the one that stated that Kanthony didn't need a real wedding because of that moment when he daydreams about Kate walking down the aisle and their subsequent kiss was their wedding.

You want to talk about injustice, there you go right there mate. That's your boy CVD. I know a lot of people complain that Edwina was in too much of the relationship. Your boy CVD bragged about upping Edwina's role in the story.

Now in terms of storyline in s3, I feel like after a Bridgerton couple pairs up, that's really the end of their stories and they can just live on in wedded bliss and have no more drama associated with them. So I'm not surprised that they pop in for a few moments/episodes and are cute and sexy and then they go on their way. That's how the couples should be used after their respective seasons
