I guess it's just surprising given all the positive buzz that seems to be coming from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Lower rating than I expected. Top critics don't like it much but seems to be doing decently well with the blogger crowd (unlike say Eternals which failed with both). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Kinda funny that the reviews seem mixed/average but when you look at the scores from Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, they’re mostly in line with the comic book consensus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) It's at 77% (51 fresh 15 rotten), but for some reason RT is displaying the score as 87%. Not sure what's up there. Anyway I think this will be a well liked show by audiences, the flaws that critics are pointing out don't seem like things that will cripple its reception too much. My main hope is that I enjoy it more than the 2021 shows (none of which were better than mid tier Marvel).

BestPicturePlutoNash Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 This is a pretty bad tonal balance. Not sure what Isaac is doing here and this quippy nebbish character is jarring alongside Ethan Hawke basically reprising his First Reformed character. The truck scene with WHAM song… why? It’s like Marvel is too afraid to totally embrace the darkness alluded to here. Not fond of the action either and I’ll always be at odds with this cold, digital sheen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Again Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tonal imbalance? In a pilot about DID? Definitely a mistake, not at all thematic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Loved the first episode. The tonal disconnect worked well to make the truck scene jarring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyxx Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I liked it but the episode ended right when it started getting good. Wish it was longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a mistake. You don't go from a moody confrontation to an immediate fight scene with gags and stunts and WHAM playing over it. The humor doesn't land at all and undermines the darkness and the situation he is experiencing Edited March 30, 2022 by BestPicturePlutoNash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
