It feels like the very best that superhero stories can offer | On the top of these, the story, the pacing and the overall thematical and logical consistency of the series are also excellent |
---|---|
They smartly let these scenes fully play out, this way making it possible for viewers to fully soak in the moment and for the actors to fully embrace their characters and get the most out of these scenes | Action generally takes a backseat and instead every single episode focuses on building characters, character relationships, and the strange world of the series itself which ultimately makes the series so much better than practically anything you can see in the MCU although GotG2 is a brillant movie |
It feels authentic, it feels genuine, it feels heavily artist-driven.
9Both the emotional and intellectual scenes serve to build the characters and what is fantastic is that these moments play out effortlessly and naturally, in a very believable manner | Because these are first and foremost character-driven movies that focus on the everyday struggles and problems of the characters and are just secondarily superhero movies |
---|---|
Because these movies have a strong artistic vision and it shows | I saw a couple of them but for the most part, to me they felt like homogeneous, fairly bland, and forgottable movies with no real artistic vision behind them - they felt more like well-crafted products than actual art what a movie is normally supposed to be |
It's a series that is part of the MCU, yet it feels like anything but a part of it.
19The show also has a great amount of intellectual depth, not just compared to other MCU stories, but in general too especially in the earlier episodes , exploring interesting concepts such as the existence of free will or pre-determination in a visual way and through cleverly written dialogues | The story is constantly moving forward without any padding or filler, in fact, so many meaningful things happen in the span of a couple of episodes that it would have taken multiple seasons for other TV shows to tell the same story |
---|---|
The main trio of the characters are fantastically realized, loveable and relatable | I can't recommend it enough |
This is when this series shines the best and I've only really seen scenes like this in independent, heavily artist-driven, lower-budget movies.
