That’s all it has been. I’m losing interest in the whole show because of it. There’s no wins, no redeeming qualities, just heartache after heartache and brutal beatings.
Well it’s a long heroes journey. Mark isn’t invincible because he can not be touched. He is invincible because he gets broken physically and mentally, and he always get back up. He may have ptsd and abandonment issues, but he keeps getting back up. It’s admirable in it’s own way, that it’s not his superman like super strength that makes him a hero, but rather his will to keep going.
It’s not just Mark’s journey that is depressing. I know he’ll get back up. I don’t need to read the comic to know that. He has Main Character Immunity. Everybody else that suffers and dies along the way are all just meat for the grinder and the show hasn’t brought anything to the table this season for me to find that entertaining or impactful.
