R-Type posted:This show is a big nothingburger. A massive, beautiful nothingburger, with huge poppy seeds, toasted buns, and stacked a foot tall. But all the lettuce, tomatoes, beef is a very thin layer that's at the very edge to make the burger look like its full. Take off the bun, and there isn't anything inside - its hollow. Much like this show. I still like it, but I'm not gushing over it. It still shows and runs better than any of the recent Netflix Marvel capeshit, which speaks volumes to how terrible JJ, Defenders and Iron Fist was.

Escobarbarian posted:Is this ending as bad as it sounds It felt like the show was trying to gaslight the audience when Syd kept tsk-tsking him at gunpoint when I was shouting at the screen, "uh, Farouk is on the ground and about to regain his powers, how about we deal with him first instead you stupid character!"

Dreylad posted:I'm a little heartened by the fact that Hawley is at least thinking about if a character can come back from what David did (and as people mentioned earlier, it's to the show's credit that the actors for both David and Farouk are truly excellent at getting you to at least consider their side). Because a TV show is going to have to do a lot, especially in this cultural moment, to have a character commit sexual assault and then have another season where you might try to rehabilitate him.

Looks interesting, but... as an audience member, I'm a bit lost as to who to root for? Is anyone going to be likable this season?

I'm feeling a bit iffy on this second episode. I don't like watching the show as much when all the characters are bad people. I liked the introduction of Switch in the premiere because she's a fresh innocent, but the second episode didn't feature her as much so we're back to characters manipulating one another. I just want to feel like I'm on at least one person's side instead of feeling gross when David or Farouk brainwashes someone.

DaveKap posted:I guess another perspective of why this show is more fun to watch but not as fun to pay attention to is the fact that I personally despise characters that do not communicate a simple fact in order to allow the miscommunications between them be the cause of further conflict. Particularly, in this show's case, is the fact that David never actually communicates to Division 3 "Farouk is free, you understand his power, thus you should understand he is influencing you." This is a thing he knows for a fact because he had to reverse Farouk's influence. This is a thing Division 3 knows could happen. I don't expect it to fix anything if he says it but it's always nice to know he tried. Without it, it just feels like sloppy writing and poor character building. It's why I always appreciate those moments in media where one character questions something another character said or did and I audibly go "yeah, why that?!" Not enough writing is smart enough to do that. I also am kinda over seeing the same "everybody's getting high, let's play a 60s era song while people sway like hippies and smoke blows in the camera" scenes. They've repeated it many times in the series and each time it takes like 2-minute chunks out of the show for no reason.

Corte posted:So I went back and watched a few parts of season 2 to get a better handle on the discussion. Something I think that isn't being discussed or noted is that David did not think he was raping Syd. I'm not saying this justifies or excuses his actions. Reviewing the scene where he uses his powers on Syd my interpretation is that he removed her memories of her interactions with Melanie that he believed was manipulation from Farouk causing her to turn on him. It's possible I'm mistaken and David's psychic manipulation went further. Assuming this he believed he was just reverting her back to the "real Syd" before she was twisted by the Shadow King. I guess I'm just trying to point out that perhaps intention should matter when considering the subject.

I liked the ending, but I’m always a sucker for extended timeskip epilogues, so I was hoping that at the very end we would jump to a future where we pan across from the Xavier School for Mutants sign to a class with teenage David. Then a new girl is introduced to the class and she greets him as Syd, implying that they eventually meet in better circumstances (and that her mother would have had a place to send her to learn her powers).
