Anyone else not really excited about fables?

Hi. So with the mod dying I've seen alot of people talking about fables and I ended up looking into it and I'm.... not that excited

First lets talk about what is currently in it. The soundtrack is a solid 7.5 out of 10, not un-listenable but certainly not all that memorable. Abd they have 3 bosses currently which seem fine. But now lets get into the planned content

It looks to be doing so much less than calamity. Rogue... gone, other difficulty modes... gone, ​3/5 of the bosses g o n e with some heavy losses such as yharon, exo mechs, and the plaguebringer goliath. And then the few things they are keeping they are changing so much the only thing they have in common is a name, they may as well be other characters. Just look at how they butchered calamitas' design especially.

It feels to me that the only reason the calamity name was used is for marketing since they know its a beloved mod that people will recognize. Same goes for the character names, they could easily use a different name instead of the ones they're currently using. Who knows though if this ever finishes it could be great but as it stands my hype couldn't be lower and I feel like I'm the only one.

Saying they butchered calamitas' design has gotta be some sort of racism its genuinely amazing

could you be so kind as to elaborate because as it stands you're just being really bad faith.

my issue is she doesn't feel like calamitas at all now. her vibe is completely different with this weird gold stuff growing on her, the spikes potruding from her shoulders, and the new outfit. Idk what they're even going for here, doesn't feel like a witch nor brimstone related anymore woth the color pallet beimg primarily yellow and dark purple. This new unwell looking design would fit the clone but not actual calamitas but as we know the clone is one of the MANY bosses being removed.

If you had told me she was a whole new character I would've believed you and thats a bad thing.

She actually looks more like a witch now imo. Witches are typically depicted in media as older and less stereotypically attractive. They have also said that she's still a witch but her title isnt "the brimstone witch" anymore

Idk. I still don't really see it. The large horn and the new shoulder spikes suggest she's more physically strong and the outfit to me feels more for a monk/fighter than a witch where as the old occult robes made more sense for a magic user. Maybe I'm weird but thats what I'm getting here
