Johnbobb 03/03/19 9:32:54 PM #67:	don't want spoilers so not gonna read the rest of the topic, but felt the need to talk about the show I just finished the 3rd episode. Thoughts so far: -Klaus is great. Hazel is great. Ellen Page is a great actress being completely wasted so far. -Show is well shot, and I'm definitely curious about the greater mysteries -Luther's bodysuit is godawful. Like they made zero effort trying to make it look realistic, which is bizarre given that they already have a CGI monkey character. -The writing is so bad. The dialogue is cliche and forced and the character motivations more often than not don't make sense. Any attempt at subtle exposition is ruined by the fact that the writers assume the viewer is dumb. -What is going on with their powers? Why is it a mystery how the dad died when one of the siblings can literally talk to the dead? Why isn't that a bigger deal? -The attack on the academy at the end of episode 3 is a mess. Literally Luther's one thing is that he's super strong, and then he still loses a 1v1 fist fight against Hazel? Allison just decides not use her power because she's pissed off (that was literally the excuse, "I don't need to cuz this bitch just pissed me off"), even when they're obviously losing the fight against people trying to kill them? Diego is even worse; he throws knives at their helmets, and when that doesn't work, tries to headbutt them. And then spends most of the rest of the fight running and hiding, which is especially frustrating after finishing Daredevil and seeing Bullseye, who has basically the same powers, handled so much better. And THEN, after they refused or failed to use their variety of superpowers to take down these two, they blame VANYA for being a liability because she doesn't have powers? (which, she obviously has powers, right? I mean come on) Like excuse you Allison, you're the one who actively decided to not use your power to stop the bad guys so how are you any different? so essentially I'm just really intrigued by the general premise and world and performances, etc. but goddamn the dialogue and logic behind most of the actions is frustrating --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:918398571] in The Umbrel...
