you explained it kinda. We watched the showed based on garnered interest from
Marketing and being Marvel fans in general. We stayed watching because the story was good, acting at least at minimum marvel standard (above it in the case of some movies) and the action sequences were solid.
You, on the other hand, launched an all out offensive on the guys character when he was written that way with specific purpose that was explained in thelast couple of episodes (kid Spector/grant was great). I couldnot have found a better hate campaign in Russia war planning rooms, my guy.
it just doesn’t make sense, and you got called on it. We’re still unsure why. I think Stephens writing may have hit a little too close to home, but that’s my opinion.
No, the character was fine. The problem I had is everytime the narrative of the show would set up some stakes (world ending, Harrell getting close to Ammit, etc, we would take a break from that to explore Steven's quirkiness.
You guys may love it.
But ask screenwriters and they will tell you, you can't break momentum like that. It makes your narrative disjointed. If the Lord of the Rings had gotten you to the point where Frodo had the Ring at Mount Doom and was close to finally being able to save the world then the movie spent the next 40 minutes talking about Frodo's childhood, his back story, what life was like in Hobbitown, that would not be good storytelling.
You make like it, and I've never said anyone was wrong to like it, it's just not good storytelling.
That is what this show did.
It established that the world was in great peril then spent two episode talking about Steven and Mark's upbringing.
If the writers don't care that the world is ending, why should the audience?
its all good though; another solid effort by Marvel Studios...
