prob gonna be enough people watching to deserve its own thread

first two eps are dropping tomorrow. Early reviews are p good

first couple eps were alright. I give them props for not dropping the sitcom thing after the first episode like I expected them to...I'm just starting to wonder if that was the right idea (: Like they do a great job reproducing the feel of a 50s sitcom but it just hasn't been as FUN to watch as I thought it might be

I do think once the bleed over starts becoming more prominent it'll get better. The weird beekeeper thing was interesting

o. I take this back!!

ep 4 felt like Marvel at its very worst, the dialogue was so cringy. Didn't help that they brought back the worst character of the entire MCU

now I just want to go back to Olsen/Bettany doing more period sitcoms

I liked how episode 4 linked everything together up to his point.

eh I disagree. I liked what they were doing with the very gradual CRACKS in the facade in the first 3 eps, not sure why they decided to skip past the mystery and just reveal (mostly) all in the middle of the season. Apparently people were growing impatient with it so I think I'm in the minority tho (:

so that's the Quicksilver from the X-Men movies right? So are those supposed to be canon now? I'm confused idk why they didn't just bring back Aaron Taylor-Johnson

huge missed opportunity if they don't have Mary Kate & Ashley appear for the 90s ep next week

man just when the show starts sucking me in with the great Malcolm in the Middle homage / creepy NPC shit at the outskirts of town it cuts back to the SWORD plot aaand I'm checked out again

I'm in the middle! (: I feel similarly towards it as I do towards 90% of the MCU, and that's that it's perfectly FINE, doesn't move the needle much either way but is okay enough to keep watching

Ep 8 was for sure one of the better eps tho. I think the sitcom format became a crutch as the show went on so it benefitted from breaking from that

the finale was one of the weakest eps for me but what can ya do (:

agree with Badger's point about them not acknowledging what Wanda did nearly enough. It seemed like they were going that direction with what Agatha was saying (and what the civilians themselves were saying) but then...they kinda just shrugged it off after that. Making her a true anti-hero (anti-villain?) would've been a cool direction but it seems like they chickened out at the last second Darcy's single line this ep was definitely a low point for the MCU

I appreciate the 'risk' they took but I feel like they didn't execute on it nearly as well as they could've and fell back into the Marvel formula by the end anyway. eh!

might be done with the Marvel shows tbh, I can't think of one that sounded as intriguing as this did

Halloween costume > the real one

I thought boring muted colors was DC's thing
