Doubt it. But the vibe is often such that a compelling story couldn’t be told about a new character coming out. Or more importantly a character who’s main focus is being a hero who just so happen to come out somewhere in the story.
The overall vibe of the market , currently at least, is “we do not give a beep” just give us good entertainment.
I’m willing to bet if the showrunner/witer/whoever that guy was had never outed Morph before the show aired, more eye balls would go to the show. Which in return would have given it a fair shot. Now the show is tainted and a section of the audience isn’t going to bother with it all.
Those saying “well Morph is mid low tier player anyway and it probably won’t affect the show” the question then becomes ok…”then why did you go out of the way to bring up at all” and/or “what purpose did it serve outside of you patting yourself on the back and/or trying to cause buzz for the show, that has bitten so many in the butt in the past?”
Shrug I don’t know…again maybe I am just worn out by the negativity.
