  • Gotta be honest, I’m pretty disappointed in season 2 so far. Even disregarding the nearly 3 year wait, I’m just kind of baffled at the way the writers have spent their time given how limited an 8 episode season is. Like, the fact that in this episode we spend almost as much time following Debbie wandering around being sad as we do with Mark and Nolan trying to save a planet is kind of absurd. Then you’ve got things like the Atom Eve and Donald storylines, which I can’t see why anyone is supposed to care about.

    In general, this first half of the season has kind of felt like filler. Nothing has really happened. Even something that should have mattered like Mark finding Nolan and the battle on the bug planet, ended up just essentially setting things back to the status quo (Nolan has disappeared, Viltrumites are coming and Mark’s not strong enough).

    Long story short, this season has been a resounding “meh” for me so far. My hype had already kind of petered out after the long wait, and these 4 episodes haven’t really done anything to reignite it.



  • I generally don’t mind slower paced episodes, but when you’ve waited two and a half years for a season, and there are only 8 episodes, spending time on things like the mom going to therapy, Mark moving into a college dorm, and two side characters trying to sneak into a movie really drags. Hopefully it picks up soon, because it doesn’t feel like much has happened yet and there is only one more episode before the mid-season break.

    Also, I’m kind of surprised at how basic the animation is for a show that has been so long in development and the resources of Amazon behind them. Like, during the flash back in this episode it was a straight up slideshow.
