Saddest part of this show is Matthew Modine jumping on twitter trying to ride the coattails of a bunch of twelve-year-olds. I hope he's fun and cool and nice and not sad and desperate for attention like he seems.

Dmitri-9 posted:The scene reflects the hopelessness that the characters feel. Everyone thought that they might be able to save Will but then a corpse shows up. There is no dramatic irony because the audience doesn't know Will is alive untill Elle suggests otherwise, he could be a ghost, he could be a time echo, he could be in Hell. If you said "wait what?" every 5 minuntes when you watched this show you might not be very smart. What is confusing or inconsistent about Elle's powers? They work the same way they do in episode 4 as they do in episode 8. And the kids are on their own now, whereas before everyone was looking for Will. Now they won't be believed no matter what, and have no clear way to proceed.

quote:HULK LIKED HER AND ALL, BUT HULK NEVER HAD A SENSE OF "THE RULES" OF ELEVEN OR EVEN WHAT SHE WAS REALLY DOING OR WANTED OUTSIDE OF GENERAL SAFETY. HULK NEVER KNEW WHAT SHE COULD OR COULD NOT UNDERSTAND, OR WHAT CHARACTERS UNDERSTOOD ABOUT HER. YOU COULD ARGUE "THAT'S THE POINT! SHE WAS THIS SUPERGIRL WHO DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AND JUST PLOPPED INTO OUR LIVES!" BUT THAT WOULD ONLY MAKE SENSE IF THOSE QUESTIONS OF MYSTERY WERE HEIGHTENED AND A PART OF THE DRAMATIC STORY. IN REALITY, THESE WERE BASIC FAILINGS OF AUDIENCE COMMUNICATION, EXACERBATED BY THE SHOW'S FOOLHARDY AIM OF "MYSTERIOUSNESS." Still don't get this one. The kid is kind of like ET and doesn't understand much of the world, and some of the pleasure of the narrative is watching her grow and learn and try to exchange ideas with the boys, and also seeing them develop a mutual sense of friendship. If this is about how her powers work or her secret origin or what the monster really is or any of that xfiles stuff, then that's always going to disappoint because narratives built on those kinds of mysteries always fail to satisfy or to be totally consistent.

Calico Heart posted:Yeah, also a good point. There are only 4-5 more episodes of +/- 45 minutes each. I'd say what's the harm but the show had me hooked literally from the first scene so it might just not be your thing. You have to be charmed by totally earnest scenes of kids doing adventuring, plus enthralled by a beard guy solving multiple mysteries with punching.
