It's just such an incredible accomplishment to introduce that many characters and world-concepts in 3 flashes and it was so memorable that people still go nuts over the characters to this day. I can understand taking issue with some of its content, I find Damara's character to be such a waste because she's so INTERESTING if it Weren't For The Racism. But I don't understand people who aren't interested in the sheer insanity of such dense and detailed storytelling, I love that breathless feeling of finding out so many things at once, I think all the characters, far from being 'lame parodies', almost feel unattached from what they're parodying, Porrim and Latula and Kankri in particular feel like they get so well fleshed-out with the brief amount of time we get to spend with them, and even characters like Horuss have so many layers to them.

I feel like maybe I'm not the typical reader though. I tend to enjoy extremely wordy, dense narratives as long as they justify themselves by being interesting and well-thought-out and, as an antipode to Alternia that allows for comparison and contrast, Beforus and its trolls are extremely well-thought-out and interesting to me. The only issue I have is that they could have "done more with it", but that's true of basically any concept this frantic comic introduces.
