Time to rank them! Klaus Diego Five Ben Allison Vanya Luthor Luthor was an OK character. But he was just, there. Nothing special about him. Same with Vanya. Nothing wrong with her, but she was like Luthor. Just there. Allison was good, but kind of dragged down by being around Luthor and Vanya all the time. Klaus and Diego were awesome and I loved the dynamic between the two. Ben was cool basically acting like Klaus's conscience. And Five just nailed it. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I opened Netflix today to find something to watch and the trailer for this auto played. What a pleasant surprise - it looks excellent.
Watched the first episode and I'm very into his Where did this monkey come from? Five is interesting for a lot of reasons, but the most interesting to me is that his actor is in both the childhood scenes and the adult scenes, guess he had to play double duty. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG ...

Five
Klaus *gap for obviously likeable characters* Vanya Allison Ben Diego *large gap* Luther I tried to cut Luthor some slack early in but by the end he definitely ran out. Was starting to drag on Allison a bit but she quickly leaped back into my good graces from and after the Diego was a bit love/hate, he has some of the problems of Luther with obsession over who's the "leader" but Diego's much more tolerable for at least interacting with the other members of the group. Worse problem for Diego tho is just some really obviously stupid decisions, namely every decision that got him arrested and even the way he handled the warning and subsequent arrest was dumb. Luther is just all about himself and Allison, and even regarding Allison he doesn't at all listen to her on what matters and it all makes his Number One shtick worse and worse. When literally everyone is against him he just strong-arms them into basically ending the world out of stubborn ignorance. best character tho is Hazel --- https://imgtc.com/i/1LkkaGU.jpg somethin somethin hung somethin horse somethin ...

My episode one rankings
Five Luther Diego Vanya Allison Ben Klaus I don't even have anything to go on with Ben and I still like him more than Klaus! My takes on Luther and Diego: Luther knows what he wants to do and he's trying to take the lead, but just like his bumbling size makes him a bit clumsy physically, he isn't really socially savvy enough to get across what he's trying to say or get people to do what he needs them to do. He's kinda like a Steve Rogers that just isn't sure how he can accomplish what he knows he needs to do. Which I guess you could say isn't Steve Rogers, but if you applied this layer to Chris Evans I think Luther is what you would get. I like him a lot. Diego is a bit too "FUCK BATMAN" so far. He's cool though. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG ... Copied to Clipboard!

I totally agree with the assessment on Luthor and his progression being the opposite of Klaus. And I absolutely hate his yup, agree on the spoilered part, although it's a little unfair because, in some ways i'm glad i didn't read the graphic novels, because it sounds like they changed a few characters. Again, I found every single character super believable in their varying types of shittiness. Maybe diego was a little bit of a stretch or caricature, but at least I thought his arc with 'mom' was worthwhile. There were a few parts that took me out or had me confused about the tone of the show. How many times did they casually decide to run through hails of deadly gunfire only for the dozens of mooks to miss wildly? Creative license and all that, but I feel like the writers should have to try a little harder, ha. Finally, allison refusing to use the power on the super-powered agents attacking the mansion? I suppose it's in character, but it still had me shouting nooo inside... And I thought the rave was great. --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

In terms of ranking, I tend to have like three different ones for a tv show.
One, likability. Literally just how much I would be on their side or want to hang out in real life. Two, usefulness to the show. Sometimes you need an asshole to propel the plot, or a boring character to get things back on track. Like... pirates of the caribbean would not be successful if every single character was jack sparrow, even if he was the most interesting, you know what i mean? Three, execution of the role- not just acting, but also believability of the character and their actions in general. It can create some interesting situations where there's a character I *hate* but is a necessary foil to prop up the likable ones. Or a character I like but I feel like isn't that believable. --- You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured. ...

[up to ep 8]
The most difficult part for Vanya being believable is just the incredible speed of her relationship with leonard. Still though that can be accepted with how important he is to the narrative, and they DO still at least provide a reason even for Vanya being so quickly swooned, not just her upbringing of insecurity but Allison jabs at her for being alone early in (which ends up into Allison investigating Vanya/Jenkins) [full spoilers] --- https://imgtc.com/i/1LkkaGU.jpg somethin somethin hung somethin horse somethin ...

finished it the other day. absolutely loved it
i dunno about rankings but klaus is the best, five is probably close but i don't think i like him as much as most people (still love him tho). luther definitely at the bottom. i like vanya more than most people it seems. everyone else is kind of fighting for the middle pretty evenly. without much thought I guess I would do... klaus vanya five allison ben diego luther honestly vanya/five are probably interchangable i liked hazel's story a lot but i agree with whoever said his actor was bad. cha cha was fun but i would have liked to see her get a more developed arc. feels lame that mary j blige got a mostly one-note character. pogo was p cool, and i absolutely loved mom. also man is it good to see robert sheehan in a good role again. i love him so much and i feel like he hasn't had much of a good career since he left misfits. maybe I just missed it, but he really kills it in this role. --- [various robot sounds] ...

I'm 3 or 4 episodes in. Halfway through episode 4 I think?
Move Vanya to the bottom of my list but keep the rest the same. Vanya: Klaus: How much I personally like or respect a character has a big impact on how I view them. I can really respect a character I don't particularly like for being well done, especially when it comes to villains, but these two cross too much into "I don't really want to see you that often" territory.
