I guess what I find most interesting about my relationship with the Dexterverse is that I like it so much, DESPITE all of the things I don't like about it.
Dexter being married. Dexter having kids. These are things I can't relate to and simply don't care about. But people like me are outliers. Most people are married and saddled down with kids, and to be broadly relatable, I guess a story has to have those elements.
You know, this raises an interesting point. Maybe this is why YA romance and fantasy novels are so popular. They're dealing with young people, like in the case of Twilight, those fuckers were in high school. Or in the case of 50 Shades, they were in their early 20s and hadn't done the whole marriage/kids thing yet.
People read that kind of stuff to escape, and to have some kind of grand experience that doesn't exist in real life.
I guess Dexter was appealing to people who were a little older. Twilight and 50 Shades did bring the kids and marriage bullshit in eventually. Gross. Why does everything gotta get ruined?
