Wow... Good thing I'm only here for the Servants and not the stories... I can just enjoy the show and eat popcorn :D

But more seriously, Fate is now a franchise, it's not just the work of one man anymore.

I understand what you are getting at Hyo, but seeing as I'm not here for Nasu but just the concept that is Fate, I have to align with Hikaru, to some extent : Nasu isn't the only one who can give me Servants fighting each other over random reasons I don't care for, and he isn't the only one who can write characters' personality and growth either, so I will live with whatever. I'm that kind of fan. If Nasu ever wants to pass the torch, so be it. My needs for renditions of mythological and historical figures won't be put on a stop anyway.

On comics though, I'm with you... depending on what comics we are talking about. If said comics, like the Fateverse, are treated like alternative versions or reboots, I can just say "I like this one, I hate that one" and nothing is lost in the process. If said comics is a continuation of the original story with a different artist and author... then no, that's just unexcusable: when I took that stroll through the story, I wasn't expecting a sudden slippery ice floor, caltrops and crossfires...

In short, the Fateverse is vast enough to allow authors to create as many alternate continuities as they please, so the author can leave without his initial work being tarnished. If you are a fan of the original work, you can leave too. If you are open to more interpretations, there's still room for you.
