Trying to convince myself - that it’s the post covid lack of planning and the fact that they’ve had 2 years since so they can push it more now and ya know Jonny had on going projects which made promos together difficult — but it’s fucking hard not to be bitter because while I am happy for all them Stans (like truly hip hip hooray to you all, this should be the fun norm for all promo), it’s still like WHAT THE FUCK? You sideline your S2 leads in THEIR OWN SEASON and then you don’t even do good promo for them together or on their own. You sent all the rest on press tours. The leads didn’t even have a photoshoot that was just them.
And people want to hit us with plausible — “keeping up the mystery of will they/won’t they” 😑 but unlikely scenarios - “maybe the actors weren’t keen”— that doesn’t track and you all know it. They were the romantic leads of a series. Promoting them would have been the smart idea for engagement. (And I want to say that truth is as truth is but given the whole Ariana thing, maybe people would have been dumb but given how Jonny handled that with the hilarious response and ya know the truth and the fact that they are playing characters should have shut most sane people up). And yes yes, they still achieved so much without it but THEY had to build SO MUCH of their own momentum and it’s fucked.
And yes yes, maybe the show’s promo team changed/ or the agenda for the promo team changed and in the wake of shows that did well still getting cancelled, they gotta continue to expand expand expand their promo in order to stay afloat. The way they did for the brand as a whole in season 2. BUT THEIR LEADS? Crickets.
Sad. I’m sad. It’s been 2 years. I should be over the disappointment. I’m not though.
