"Who wanted this?" is the dumbest (whatever it's called... trope statement?) that has ever existed.

Are creators supposed to poll everyone before they create? Fuck off

The most awarded movie in cinema history, EEAAOA... did anybody want that?

Exactly. This logic never stops to consider the other side of that. "Who wanted this!?" Yeah, because I'm sure there was a huge demand for a show about a billionaire's kids squabbling over his media empire or one based on the football coach that discussed soccer from NBC Sports commercials or the one about people whose home life can't remember their work life, but those are some of the best shows on television right now.

They really think we would've gotten those if networks were looking for some sort of popular consensus before entering development?

Well, I agree with you about the trope. These threads are always full of 'em though, as if execs green light shows and films from comments...

Is it really? The Oscars haven't even happened yet.

Is that just a side effect of there being more awards now though?

They took that into consideration.
