Board 8 > well I finished Marvel's Runaways (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

what the fuck

I got so hyped up at the end of episode 9 for shit to finally happen

and then shit doesn't happen

Now I'm worried S2's going to have even worse pacing, as they try to avoid any sort of actual resolution

also, not a fan of how much they tried to bring up sympathy for the parents (aside from Jonah obviously) in the back half of the season. It's like they want the viewers to just forget they all participated in murdering 15 kids.

also also that dinosaur didn't do a single thing all season. What's the point of having a DINOSAUR on your show if it's entire role is to just hide and wait?

also also also all the kids are super dumb

I thought the show had flaws but I was still digging it most of the way through

also comic spoiler:

I accidentally saw that in the comic apparently Alex was a mole and turns against the team, but in this, I guess Frank's essentially taking his role? That's... underwhelming.

I don't agree with worrying about the pacing for S2. I don't know a lot about Runaways plotlines, but I'd imagine S2 will finish the Jonah threat. S1 was essentially just real-long buildup of who are the characters.

I like the characterization of the parents. In the comics they're apparently very one-note, which just doesn't work on current television I think. I just hope their goals weren't ONLY for their children but for the benefit of the world or something.

Yeah, but we basically knew who the characters were in the first couple of episodes

The vast majority of the season was trying to find a way to stop the parents

but in the finale, there's no payoff in that regard. The big fight that the end of E9 suggested just immediately ended at the beginning of E10 (what the fuck was that, by the way, what a shitty cliffhanger after how much was built up to that) and then the parents just decided that they were gonna be good now
