It's relatively new for the US. It was always the norm in the UK.
I think filming during covid is what hurt the show. There is a better version of this story that can be told. This show just isn't firing on all cylinders. Maybe they just needed to throw something together to get the character out before Doctor Strange 2 I guess.All of you people dunking on this show for focusing on the Steven Grant character because of how apparently boring/uninteresting he is or how much he takes away from actual Moon Night stuff, or how it would’ve been better if it was just a two hour movie, are nuts.
If it had acquiesced to all of your requests, it wouldn’t have nearly been able to delve deep enough into all of the psychological stuff and rushed through so much plot and story, and you would’ve made that complaint instead. A shorter version of this would’ve focused more on the superheroing stuff and wouldn’t have nearly been as interesting. I for one have appreciated the slower pace and deep exploration into Mark and Steven’s mind/past. The actual superheroing stuff in the show I actually find to be the least interesting part.
We care about Steven because of how much time we get to spend with him. Imagine all of that time we get with him in the show compressed into only 30 minutes or less of run time, or having to sprint through all of his tragic backstory as a child in the third act. That would’ve been terrible.
I’ve had my druthers and issues with the previous shows that I also somewhat share with others and agree with them on, but this ain’t it, chief.

I liked that Layla became a superhero because the MCU needs more non-American superheroes on Earth. Before this we had.....Shang Chi.
Hey now, we also had T'Challa.
That's why I didn't mention him....because we had him. We don't have Chadwick anymore.

Thor is Australian tho.
You might want to spoiler this in the general (not episode-specific) thread since not everyone has caught up yet and there are people such as InCali two posts above you coming here to ask what peoples' thoughts on it were before they continue watching.I liked that (...)
Yes, please tag anything to do with the current episode which has just come out, or discuss specifics in the dedicated thread.

100% agree. What a bomb. What a disaster.This show was a rotten carrot IMHO. I've never been more disappointed with an MCU show or product than this. And I mean a lot of the elements were there. The writing was terrible.
I have no idea why they took this approach for a first season.
I was waiting until all of the episodes were in before watching episodes 2-6. I liked episode 1 just fine, but thought 2 sucked. Basically, I think Steven is a Fing idiot and hated episode 2. In the opinion of others, does it get better? I realize that some of you will disagree about episode 2, but I'd like to see him embrace the character more.
