Default Re: The mind of Johnathan Tzachor

I tend to find comparing something to fanfiction is pretty unfair to fanfiction. There are a lot of fanfic writers out there who do take pride in their work and strive to stay as faithful to canon as closely as possible. Like, really, not all fanfiction about the Mary Sue New Kid in Town, empty shipping fluff, or bizarre crossovers, there are fanfics out there that expand canon, attempt to fill in niggling plotholes, or bring new interpretations to the canon characters in ways you would have never thought possible. It's not all good, but it's not all bad either. Especially when half the stuff people accuse of reading like fanfiction are things most actual fanfic writers wouldn't have written or even wanted to see (Such as the use of unadapted Sentai teams in Super Megaforce, or the plots of the Super Hero Taisen movies, something even the Japanese fandom find just as ridiculous as western fandom does).

As Tzachor, well most of the actors have spoken positive of him. Heck Cameron Jebo said:

@samaradams1996 tzachor is a great guy. Knows what he wants and goes for it. Admirable. #silverquestions

I think he's a guy who clearly knows what he wants to do, unfortunately, he appears to do it by the bare-minimu

I realize that not ALL fanfiction is bad. Of course you have to sift through a lot of the terrible ones before you find good ones but typically from what I've seen fanfiction is often just wish fulfillment.

The reason I compare Tzachor to a bad fanfiction writer is because that's exactly what his pitch looks like if it wasn't official. Would anyone have believed that something like this "And then the Rangers transform into their new never before seen modes using Dairanger suits and say SUPER MEGA!" would be the plot of an actual episode?

I don't mean to offend fanfic writers (Heck, I even wrote some myself once so that would include me) but there's no denying that the average fanfic tends to be poor quality.

About the actor praising Tzachor.To each their own I suppose.

But then again I doubt any actor would speak badly of the person that hired them unless there was a good reason.
