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? - 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 ...

-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? This should already be obvious by now I think? Klaus can't talk to the dead while he's doped up.

I got the impression it was left intentionally vague, if they wanted to add some as villains or whatever later
Do they ever explain Allison not using her powers was annoying, but I was eventually able to rationalize this because she is explicitly avoiding doing so due to family/morality issues. Diego just kind of sucks because he's trying to be a semi-nonlethal batman when his powers are just knives. Again, maybe H+CC have powers. Who knows. --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

and i'll agree that the dialogue isn't amazing. It isn't terrible on the grand scale, either. i'd put it at about a 6/10
i was actually worried in the first episode just from the structure. there are so many shows that try to introduce like 8 main characters right at the beginning, with the end result being that none are interesting. this show managed to actually make them all distinct and worthwhile --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

Why isn't that a bigger deal? but he talks to Ben pretty frequently, so there has to be some times he's not doped enough to talk to the dead. Why can't he just talk to the dad then? And even if he's too dumb to think of that, why wouldn't one of the others notice him talking to Ben and be like, "Hey, idiot, ask dad who killed him" --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

It never seemed that weird to me. I'm sure calling a spirit is a more intensive process than just talking to a spirit that's already following you around all the time. Any time Klaus is becoming anywhere close to sober, Ben is just already there.

Klaus is pretty great. The dialogue is only ever average but I think Ellen Page gets better in it.
I think theyre trying to deliberately go with a unnatural look and feel to Luthor. But it does just translate as bad CGI. They all suck at using their powers kinda. Except Rumor and she has personal reasons. Klaus cant even try using his while hes not sober, Ben come without him even trying, I think. Luthor is way too slow and uncomfortable in his body. And Diego thinks hes much better than he is. I kinda assumed Hazel had super-strength. He is tanky as anything and never goes down or even looks like hes in any pain during any of the fights where he takes hits. Maybe invulnerability of some kind? Maybe hes just impressed by Luthor cause hes never met someone as strong as himself. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also good riddance to Allison; honestly the worst character and it wasn't particularly close. 5 attacking the commission was great but since then the main four haven't been doing much of anything. Hazel still the best.

Luther sucks, but it's totally understandable tbh.
He spent his whole life trying (and failing) to live up to his position as "Number One" to an incredibly overbearing father, and slowly realizes it was all (so far) for nothing. Allison sucks slightly less (honestly, yeah, in hindsight her not using her powers "because I'm mad" is really stupid), but for no discernible reason. It's never really explained how/why she used her power to become rich, famous, and "America's Sweetheart", but also her power is public knowledge, and she loses her husband/kid in a custody battle over using it? I dunno, that seems like a pretty weird plothole. --- Phantom Dust. "I'll just wait for time to prove me right again." - Vlado ... Copied to Clipboard!

Johnbobb 03/08/19 10:18:09 PM #92: |
ok so Allison is better in the finale, but like 90% of that is just Luther being horrible and her seeming better by comparison
Allison is probably the most two-faced character in the whole show. She's poorly written, treats Vanya like shit like the entire time, but then is always immediately like "Oh, we're sisters and I love you. I mean, you're a loser, and too much of a burden to have around, and I only care about you when it's personally convenient, but why won't you listen to me?" Like the others don't give a shit about Vanya either but at least they don't pretend to. And then that ep. 8 reveal Current character ranking Klaus/Ben (they really need to be ranked together imo because Ben is basically just a part of Klaus) Hazel Vanya 5 Doughnut Lady Pogo -big gap- Diego Allison/Luther/Cha-Cha in any order, depending on the episode --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

Johnbobb posted... My issue isn't with her doing it. Totally made sense for her to just do what her dad said at that age My issue is that over the next 30ish years it never once occurred to her that "maybe that's the reason Vanya is so fucked up." With full knowledge of what her power does and how manipulative their dad was and how miserable Vanya was she should've easily pieced it together like decades earlier. But even as grown adults, Allison was fully willing to support the idea that Vanya is a useless nobody, even though she knows that she's the one that created that idea in the first place --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
