Remember when stories just... had a point? Like, they didn't need to be some artsy French thing that takes five degrees and three languages to piece together, or a dark, edgy reboot for those guys who take Batman super seriously. Batman didn't start serious-- he started as stupid long funny pages. Funny pages weren't designed to be long-form but they figured that whole thing out eventually.
This is kinda like Batman. This is looking at something designed for a very different time, but still seeing that there was a purpose there. This is like when they made Brave and the Bold, except they didn't just throw all the old janky storytelling back together in nostalgia-bait configuration 4.
Batman didn't start serious, but he still had a point. Fairy tales still had a point. Having a point is why we started telling stories in the first place.
Look, it's just... read this. This has a point. Have I gotten that across? It's not about edge or putting Sleeping Beauty in sneakers. It's about the point of fairy tales, filtered through a modern understanding of storytelling.
...did any of that make sense?
