Challenge #9
In your own space, promote at least one canon that you adore (old, new, forever fandom).
So, I've been trying to think what I could say something about that I hadn't really heard talked about much before. I ended up with two polar opposite canons that I actually really like.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy
+ Surprisingly not very good war propaganda -- loaded with "war is hell" quotes for your you died screen, many of them pointing rightful fingers at the war industry iirc
+ Some epic gut punch moments -- Shock and Awe/Aftermath of the first game, Loose Ends of the second game
+ First you think you're fighting a Middle-Eastern nation, then you think the bad guys are some kind of Russian force, but no, it turns out the real bad guy is an American general you thinks America -- and himself -- is nothing without war
+ Actually the first game I played when I bought my (second hand) PS3, because it came with the console and I thought "I'd probably not like it I might as well give it a shot, get it out of the way, and sell it" -- but it ended up staying in my collection
+ I got surprisingly attached to the characters, so
Call the Midwife
+ Always ends with the most wholesome and hopeful monologue
+ 90% female cast at least
+ Every time there's an issue episode -- and there are many of them -- it's always the most balanced writing I've ever seen anywhere?
+ Speaking of writing, it's consistently of good quality
+ Real character driven drama!!!!
+ Always making me emotional! Never once letting me down!
