I’ve seen some complaining about the quality of this season, (even though there’s only been 2 episodes so far) complain that it just feels like filler. Even some complaining that the plot is all over the place

The show, and even the comics, has always been a slow burn. The story has never been particularly plot heavy.

Even season 1, most of the episodes barely touched on the plot until the very last two episodes. That’s how it’s always been. The main story has always been Mark learning what it means to be a hero. If anything, the last two episodes has set up a lot of minor plot points. It’s never been just the Vilrtumites.

The story has always been a love letter to superhero stories. Yes, most comics, then and now, always have their wacky villains of the week, reacorruing enemies, and B, C, and D plots.

This season the story is focused more on the emotional impact of the last season.
