History YMMV / ChiknNuggit

* BrokenBase: The developing story since the introduction of Bezel garnered mixed reactions. Some welcomed it and think it would expand the world and characters while still remaining comedic. Other fans have either complained that it's unnecessary for the show as its original format was comedy, or said that it either barely makes any sense, can get tiresome and tedious to watch, or is just rather silly and dumb. And also, some people have made points that making lore in a miniseries is not really possible, especially with just sub-30 second bite sized shorts. Many fans kept discussing, Is all the "serious lore" really an interesting way to take the series in a new direction and explore the characters more? Or is it part of a series that originally started off simple, but is now trying to make a half-baked attempt at trying to be deep and interesting for no reason other than to get people talking?
** Not helping is that lore shorts have had an inconsistent schedule, taking a few weeks long, or even a month or two, mainly due to the fact that the show still does alot of filler episodes that take up alot of the show, with very few lore shorts happening. Because of this, fans of this show eagerly waiting for the lore shorts have been angered in impatience ever since, especially when they wanted their questions regarding the lore to be answered already.

** Sometime after Bezel's introduction, since it was confirmed that Bezel would play a part in some kind of "storyline", it was clear that Kyra wanted to take Chikn Nuggit in a new direction. A discussion then sparked about that, or more specifically: should Chikn "become something greater than shorts"? in other words: should the series get rid of the shorts format, in favor of having longer episodes? On one hand, the series could expand upon its lore, episode plots, and characters more than 30-second shorts could. Another major point is that it'll keep the series fresh as this was around the time that it was experiencing the most negative feedback it has ever seen. Such feedback is directed in regards to being tired of the jokes and gags, finding the characters interesting, but flat, and just being bored of the format in general. Some have even argued that they want longer episodes, but with more of a casual slice of lifestyle, and maybe an epic adventurous story, like the lore currently being made in the works. And with a tv series being developed soon, people have stated that the lore should continue on there. On the other side, some fans believe that the episodes being bite-sized skits is the series' main appeal, and what the series should always be, and that introducing more serious stories and lore will ruin that. Some are even afraid that Chikn Nuggit would become "super serious" and it'll lose its humorous appeal.
*** Following that, every time the series tried its hand at having some big serious lore or story beat, the reaction can get a bit mixed. While it has been liked by some fans of the show, it has also been criticized, especially by others who were originally fans but stopped watching after sometime, mainly due to the fact that it either barely makes any sense, can get tiresome and tedious to watch, or is just rather silly and dumb.

Not helping is that lore shorts have had an inconsistent schedule, taking a few weeks long, or even a month or two, mainly due to the fact that the show still does its standard form of episodes that take up 90% of the show, with very few lore shorts happening. Because of this, fans of this show eagerly waiting for the lore shorts have been angered in impatience ever since, especially when they want their questions regarding the lore to be answered already.

** Initial reactions to Bezel are the most controversial the series has ever had up to this point. Some thought he was a cool, well-designed, and unique character that could bring a lot of interesting ideas and storylines to the series. While others didn’t like his severe case of NonStandardCharacterDesign (which was even brought up in one short), and thought he was an outlandish idea of a character that goes against what the series has become up to this point.

** Iscream became one due to {{Flanderization}}. Some find Iscream becoming a ButtMonkey to everyone else a funny joke, while others are not happy about that. Also on top of that, they don’t like how Iscream has deteriorated into little more than a way to tell horny jokes. And wish Iscream would return to their old, creepy, demonic self again. Back when they were perceived as actually scary and funny.

Here's one thing: maybe it can have some super serious lore, just without sacrificing the humour or heart of the show.

** While Cofi does have a generally positive reception due to her inversion of the WolfInSheepsClothing trope, others found her interactions with Iscream annoying and borderline creepy.

** Slushi would slowly become one over time, as some fans would get progressively tired of her being little more than way to make relatable moments and fandom culture/fanart/cosplay gags, or be a mouthpiece to state a message occasionally.

Because of this, fans of this show eagerly waiting for the lore shorts have been angered in impatience ever since, especially when they want their questions regarding the lore to be answered already.
