What does 'long a storytelling asset' mean?
Hello everyone. Can you please help me understand this sentence fragment?
Making matters even worse, the animation, long a storytelling asset, became a liability. After all, Springfield is populated by cartoon characters. Even the most gruesome injury or fatal fall can be shaken off in the next scene, and the audience knows it. All the taut music and sad dialogue in the world can’t make up for the fact that no one is in any real danger.
