So I'm sure this is true of every fandom, but it seems alot of people have trouble accepting what the creators of the show do with the show. I was just wondering if anyone had an insight into why people do that. I already wrote how I feel about it on another thread, so I am going to copy and paste that below:

Along that line of thinking, deeming something "out of character" is you judging a character's actions, and saying "well, if I was writing this, the character wouldn't have acted like that", but again, you are not the writer, so you can't say how a character would act. You can disagree with the writer's choice, but at the end of the day, that was canonly how the character acted, so it must be "in character". I think this is probably why people have so many complaints about their fandoms: they think they know better than the creators how the creator's characters would act. When in reality the truth is simple, this is not their story to tell. When they write their own story, they can decide everything. But until then, they have to accept the hand that was dealt.
