You start something and you're invested in the franchise, but somehow the characters that you care about weren't there. Too many people, too many story points and the focus of just a few people that you're rooting for.

Chimpanzees spotted cracking open tortoises for meat
Scientists have observed wild chimpanzees tucking into an unusual snack: tortoises, whose hard shells they crack against tree trunks before scooping out the meat. In a paper published Thursday by the journal Scientific Reports, researchers from Germany say the behavior they spotted dozens of times in a group of chimpanzees at Loango National Park in Gabon bolsters the notion that humankind's distant cousins develop their own distinct cultures. Tobias Deschner, one of the authors of the paper, said that while chimpanzees and tortoises coexist elsewhere and other primates such as baboons and mandrills are known to feed on young, soft tortoises scientists have never before spotted any that crack open and eat the reptiles. One explanation could be that the Loango park region also has abundant hard-shelled fruit, like that from the strychnos tree, that also needs to be whacked against trees to open, prompting some enterprising chimpanzees to try the same on passing tortoises, he ...
