It made me recall what you said in
this post though...and my recent response applies to what you said there too.
Reckoner's most recent post takes up a related point: what benefit does showing those world-building scenes do for the themes that Gen
was actually concerned with?
Are we sure that we know what themes he was concerned with?
In other words,
how have we come to the conclusion that he was trying to do whatever it is we think he was trying to do with this series?
I don't actually have an answer for this. I'm only trying to raise questions about the process by which we, the audience, try to determine what a writer/creator says with any particular work. As such, I'll leave it here.
