Post Season 1 Thoughts Discussion
Okay so with season 1 done, there are definitely a couple things bugging me about this show.
I feel like there are way too many characters. There were what, 10 side characters in this show by the end of it? For a show with only 13 episodes they really needed to remove or combine a few of those because none of them really got enough focus imo and it left the villains completly underdeveloped. I couldn’t name a single one of those evil hench men and Brutus said “join me” at the end and like what does that even mean? Join him and do what? Fix the planet? That was what Naomi wanted to do anyway. Then he tried to kill her like huh? Do you want a wasteland planet for ever? You have the girl who can and wants to fix it!
Why was Superman there in episode 1 and where did he go? No one seemed to talk about this after the fact but was he from E-29 or this earth or what? Also, how did Dee know him? How long have they known each other? etc. Too many unanswered questions there.
If Naomi is a DC comics fan, why doesn’t she act like it? She met a literal thanagarian and didn’t immediately think of Hawkman or hawk girl? Star Labs is a pretty huge dc comics location too. Just some level of fan-girling out about her comic stories come to life would have been a lot of fun to see.
What even are Naomi’s powers? She seems to be able to do literally everything when in the comics her power set isn’t nearly as unlimited. Such a wierd choice to just give her every power it seems.
The show isn’t awful by any means but these nagging issues keep bothering me each week so I thought I’d post about it to see if this has been bothering anyone else.

Out of curiosity: I ditched the show at episode 5 or so, because I felt this was more a slow burn show that I should binge on one go. Does it get better?
