Why this petition matters

Started by Freya Ruehr

Whereas; it has something for everyone, telling new spins on classic stories of my parents' generation with the sorts of diverse faces and identities my own are no stranger to

Whereas; no matter who's telling them the classic stories it tells (still needing to be updated for modern tech obviously) teach us the importance of science and knowledge and just general nerdiness in a way that feels cool without coming with the overexposed trappings of superhero stories

Whereas; on that note, if the CW is really deciding to ditch the Arrowverse it has an amazing opportunity to create a new and more grounded TV cinematic universe based on classic-ish series like these

Whereas; the Nancy Drew/Tom Swift connection would have a lot of cross-demographic appeal as even disregarding the race and sexuality elements one's generally stereotypable as a "girl show" and the other as a "boy show" so if they both kept going on and crossing over you could broaden many people's media horizons and they could become the non-powered equivalent of Supergirl and The Flash

Whereas; the potential for a universe of literary action-y shows could get more kids reading things they wouldn't otherwise because "hey, this inspired that show I like"

Whereas; in these times of grim/gritty action, anti-intellectual and bigoted social climate etc. Tom Swift has the potential to provide a breath of fresh air and change the world

Therefore; the CW should un-cancel Tom Swift and bring it back for a second season
