Its hilarious how this show thrived on mystery bullshit, theories, and looking for hidden meanings among its autistic fanbase only for the writers to just admit a lot of stuff is meaningless and wasn't even on their mind at all and fans were just overthinking.

Its kind of sad how we can really never have another Lost because the bullshitting is too obvious now.

If Lost were NEW today, would it work? Can mysteryboxes be done right?

The bothersome part is that they're too lazy to terminally online and steal the better fan ideas.

Sort of what Scott Adams did with Catbert before he was called Catbert, or making the prince of insufficient light related to the pointy haired boss.

Game of Thrones. Stranger Things wasn't nearly as bad

>>219826927
that's literally every mysterybox show, even Twin Peaks which I like

Probably not. It would be on a streaming service with much shorter seasons Nobody is getting invested in characters you only saw for one weekend every 2 years. LOST got buzz 20 years ago because it was doing things that were never expected on a network TV show.

Game of Thrones is still highly regarded in the first few seasons and the spinoff shows are still popular

Lost is ongoing at the moment, it's 3rd season will be released just tomorrow. It's got a slightly different name this time - From.
Its made by the same people and it has one of the Lost cast.

Don't bullshit me anon.
Is this FROM show I've been ignoring for years actually good?

>>219826835
If this show had only had one season, it would have been one of the best shows in history.

>>219826962
LOST had genuine humanity and soul to it, and the deft hand of Damon Lindelof guiding it. It wasn't just random mysterbox slop.

He is one of the worst hacks in Hollywood

Then explain The Leftovers

>>219828748
Never watched that one, I was thinking of Lost, HBO Watchmen, the Star Trek movies, Prometheus and Cowboys vs Aliens.
I've heard The Leftovers is good but not from people I usually trust on the matter.

I'd argue GoT had a far bigger fall from popularity to being completely memory holed

>>219826835
GoT and AoT were both worse. Stranger Things was just mid, AoT raped itself so bad that even the earlier chapters are now tainted.

>>219826927
Neon Genesis Evangelion

>>219828140
It's shit but it's fun to watch. From threads on /tv/ are kino.

>>219827067
Game of Thrones has multiple spin offs. The last season was unbelievably bad though.

What are you guys on? GoT is still referenced all the time, and in anime circles so is AoT. This wasn't a question about falloff in quality or appeal, it was a question about the decline in relevance and discussion.
