>>109418067>I don't think LeSean is a bad writer/directorShit, I do.
LeSean Thomas is a master draftsman and a storyboarding god. His distinctive character design style basically defines 2000's animation.
He's a fucking legend.
He's got a gift for showing you HOW a thing happens. His action scenes were well done and I enjoyed the final fight in the series.
But WHY a thing happens? That's where he loses me.
The same thing happens in Children of Ether.
Who are these characters? Why should I care? What are they fighting fo-- oh cool, it's the train fight from Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Cool reference, bro...
It's all beautiful struggle without a whole lot of tying it all up together like a piece to a puzzle.
But take the idea out back behind the shed and shoot it? Nah, fuck off with that shit. For the crime of being a tepid lukewarm rehash of Deltora Quest?
The groundwork is there. Get some decent writers in here and let them fix this shit. It took half a season to give SAM half a personality-- now give her some flaws and consequences. Where's the drawback for using her big dick mode? Energy depletion? Corruption error? Contamination of the planet's Lifestream?
>>109421367>all the characters save the two robots and the head of the royal guard suck.I actually really enjoyed the Odin/Prince subplot more than the rest of the series. It was clear, focused and straightforward and actually gave a stable entry point for understanding the complexity of the (very simple) political landscape of that world.
>I really want to give this a chance, but philly is such a terrible main character it’s irritating.You might say Philly stinks.
Every other episode. Repeatedly. Ha HA Ha. Ha.
>>109423218>Robots are cute.Agreed.
