“Devoted and underserved audience” is putting it mildly From this Reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/OurFlagMea...

"People will fight for things and say, 'Hey, this is a really important community piece for the show,' he said, while other advocates may point to a publisher announcing a new book or a creator "that's really burst onto the scene." The rejected slate remains formidable: "The version of New York Comic Con that's all the stuff that is on the cutting-room floor would be the second-best comic convention in the country."
Those arguments can identify a community before its size becomes obvious. A staff member once championed HBO's Our Flag Means Death, sensing its importance to a devoted and underserved audience; after ReedPop brought guests from the series, fans traveled from across the United States and abroad. "We were all just bowled over with the response," D'Lando said. "I need to be at this event. I need to be with my community and with my tribe," he recall attendees saying.

After Adam asked Rhys what it’s like to work with Taika. “… being able to do that with someone you really fucking love, too…”

During the Q&A after tonight’s Academy Museum screening of HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, the affectionate tribute to the late Sam Neill by director Taika Waititi and actors Rhys Darby and Rima Te Wiata quickly went off the rails.

At the Hunt for the Wilderpeople screening, Rhys was answering a question about working with Taika. He said how wonderful it is to work with someone "you really fucking love"

I have been thinking a lot about how when Rhys was saddest about losing OFMD in such a shitty way, he went out on the road and made everyone laugh. Never once punching down, being a little bit sexy, a lot silly. Doing all the voices. If that’s not poison into positivity, I don’t know what is. 🏴‍☠️❤️‍🩹🥰
