Unfair is explaining why he doesn't like it, the people who do like it all just say "it sets up the rest of the phase" without actually saying anything about the show itself.

Yeah they seem to think "It's setting stuff up" means it can't be a good show.

Even though there's 0 reason why you can't do both

Because we were originally led to believe that the threat was the existence of the multiverse itself, not one guy looking to conquer multiple timelines.

That's still the same threat through. It's still the threat of the multiverse

This gives us a tangible, actual character that can be fought against and has actual goals and motives.

As I said if anything that's less interesting than going "ABsolutely anything can happen due to the infinite effects of the multiverse that threaten all life" now you're going "One dude is doing it." well half the intrigue and possibilities is gone.

And the threat is still the same established threat. We don't know the name of the dude who pulled the lever on the Death Star to blow up planets. He wasn't really that important to the established threat.

I don't see how you can argue that that isn't an important detail.

Because we already knew it and didn't need 30 minutes to reestablish while nothing happened

This would be a compelling argument if the literal only thing people cared about in their TV shows is the practical role a character serves in a story.

I mean, it really sounds like you're just complaining to complain.

Nope. Just pointing out my observations.

In fact the dudes complaining are the fanboys who are mad that I dare to not say it's a masterpiece.
