well, I'd have to agree with every positive and negative that this review cites about the show.
This review was achingly stupid. It seemed to be written by someone who would benefit by having someone explain the story to them as they're watching. I had to stop reading the review about halfway through it was so poorly thought-through.
From the review:
"During the extremely confusing opening where S.H.I.E.L.D. refuses to retaliate when one of their own is murdered"
What confusion? That S.H.I.E.L.D. refused to immediately start a full-fledged war?
And this:
"Director Coulson is similarly ineffectual at the start. Faced with the biggest threat to S.H.I.E.L.D. since Hydra attacked, his “wait and see” approach may as well have come with dialogue explaining “I can’t make a move until more of the plot is in place.”
Or, as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he can't make a rash decision that would put many more lives in danger without having full knowledge of the situation.
I had to stop reading after that. If a reviewer is that much of a moron to not understand that starting a war between two races without any solid information would make Coulson a terrible leader, what worthwhile observations about the show could they possibly make?
Did I watch the same show as the reviewer? I thought it was beautifully written and a fun 2 hour ride.
"As an previously unseen, still unnamed multiplying Inhuman douses the show in lame effects more fitting of a ’90s era syndication series (like Mutant X…does anybody remember Mutant X?),"
She was seen in at least 2 previous episodes... she just didn't multiply in them.
As for the effects... her power is creating multiple copies of herself. I'm not sure how over-the-top VFX are warranted...
And some of my favorite shows were 90's syndicated shows. Xena: Warrior Princess had the best fight choreography of any show I've ever seen, before or since.
Re the reviewer: Sometimes they should pay attention to what's going on! LOL I would have thought the Coulson continually trying to find out where Gonsalez was before taking agressive action was perfectly in tune with his position being far away, the mission brief and his evolution as a character.
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not
