> understand why that twist is a big deal

The biggest heroes in the show's universe are really the biggest villains.

I don't know if that's true. For example, in Game of Thrones, the White Walkers had their first pitched battle with the humans in season 8. The show took its time to build to that moment, and the tension and the expectation was extraordinary.

The show then blew it by rushing through the 8th season, which completely ruined the show's reputation, in part by moving way too fast.

I think there's a balance. The long periods where Danaerys did nothing were mostly boring.

But for a while the White Walker's were some of the best villains on television because they took their time to build them up.

I want something that takes its time to be good. The Lockwood and Co books built up the mythology over a series. The biggest twist in the series shouldn't be given away in the first 15 minutes.

Internet needs to vent their hatred onto something and Velma was the next in line. The internet version of The Purge I might say. Rings of Power suffered the same. And no I won't watch both shows because I'm not familiar with both franchise anyway.

Your spoiler tags can't have spaces.

The show has a very frustrating air of everything is unfair and the mains are powerless. Somehow they maintain that talking to each other. They can't stop to breath, and if they stop to listen to each other, they will die or something.

Everybody is unlikeable. Seems like a trend in modern media.

and it's weird how I imagine that if I was in the room for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", I'd be very "shut up and just learn and listen. what a privilege to be here!"

while in a room for "Star Trek: Voyager", I'd be very "hehe, they are limiting themselves SO much and I want to know what assholes and what fears are responsible for that."
