Yeah at the very least it has to be a nod to them marrying in comics. I'm very curious what the game plan is for the next seasons. I can't imagine they knew they were getting multiple seasons when they started this. If you were writing for a one and done, then you'd want to tie up all the major arcs and maybe seed a few things for a potential future.
Again, it all comes down to how far into the production they were when they'd decided on a 2nd season. Considering how delayed this was, maybe they did some re-planning/re-writing even to spread things out to the 2nd season that might have initially ended in the first?
Man ... I just desperately want something good and hopeful at the end. This has been a lot. Each episode seems to break us and the characters down further.
Real life is ****ing hard enough with literal children dying daily in war .... mass shootings ... all the people we lost during COVID ... the constant threat against human rights the world over ... I love that this show is going hard, but it's almost too much. At the end of the day I'm here for fantasy, not reality.
I want the girl to finally get her guy. I want our heroes to return. I want love to win.
If I wanted reality I'd just turn on the news and go rock in the corner some more.
Sorry ... went a bit dark there.
Hopefully tomorrow's episode tells us something useful. At least Storm should be getting back.
