Try not being a weapon.My post wasn't as emotionally charged as yours. Try re-reading it more calmly to understand the context.

Ok I get thatI didn't say it was fan service. I said I hoped it wouldn't become fan service. Because instead I wanted to watch a decent sci-fi/fatasy story.
So far, the content has been minimal. What little there has been is only understandable to fans who understand the history of the comic books. That's the only indication of the audience they're going for.
It would become fan service if it continued down the path of poorly realised parody, with random Easter eggs to keep fanboys happy.Ok I get that
But what would make it fan service
That I don't get?
Based on the trailers, we are getting what it promised so far
And again, it's been two 20-30 minute episodes
But why are we talking about what it's notIt would become fan service if it continued down the path of poorly realised parody, with random Easter eggs to keep fanboys happy.
If nobody had told anyone this was related to Marvel, it would have garnered zero interest and zero word of mouth based on what's actually been aired. The first 50 minutes has only been tolerable because the fandom exists and has been willing to do the heavy lifting in terms of filling in the gaps.
By any reasonable measure, a decent story should be able stand on its own two feet. So far, that's not happening. If this had been a Netflix-style full season release, it would have more forgivable to start off with two episodes of fluff. But as a serialised weekly, there should really be more substance within each episode. I don't even care if the writing is clever or creative at this point. I just wanted something I could sink my teeth into.
Exactly how I see it (and said as much in my post)No point talking about the hypothetical. It's 2 characters that have already been developed within the MCU who still have various untold stories from the comics, and who'll no doubt be appearing in future films. The show itself is being used to launch the 4th phase of over a decade worth of films.
What could you possibly compare that too?
The "if it wasn't marvel" argument is pointless, because you can't compare a show like it to anything else.
Yeah looks like him onlyThere's no way the villain isn'tMephisto
Right?
Yeah surely has to be.There's no way the villain isn'tMephisto
Right?
The 3rd was even worse. Last 4 minutes moved the plot along, the rest was just sloooooooow.So if I couldn't be bothered to finish the 2nd ep because it was a bit boring, should I watch the 3rd ep?
Yeah, same, have enjoyed them all so far. I love the little glitches we are seeing.Really enjoyed that. The cracks are getting bigger each episode. Nice reference to AoS with the Hydra soap ad.
I keep waiting for a post-credit scene, but nothing
Isnt the villain just going to beThere's no way the villain isn'tMephisto
Right?
Jesus christThe 3rd was even worse. Last 4 minutes moved the plot along, the rest was just sloooooooow.
Eh? The entire episode is relevant.The 3rd was even worse. Last 4 minutes moved the plot along, the rest was just sloooooooow.
Fair enough. I am not watching it with an eagle eye on everything so I am sure I am missing a ton.Eh? The entire episode is relevant.
They're not random kids thrown in to fill an episode, and there's cracks throughout....
Yeah they are great fun to watch on this.They are both great actors, so I think it will pan out.
I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the core storyline. That’s what most are expecting, I’d assume.Well you can't accuse them of taking the easy/obvious road!
Surely this is all a coping mechanism for Vision dying? I mean it feels hugely obvious, but maybe too obvious?

Tl:dr So it's crap?3 episodes in and theres been about 10 mins of storyline, all of which has been pretty much what you'd expect from the storyline going in. So if you skip all 3 episodes I would think you could easily pick up the plot when something actually happens.
Everything else apart from the 10 mins of actual development I'd give
Entertainment : 2/10
Comedy : 2/10 -
The quality of a saturday morning's children's tv show with some slightly more adult jokes
Yes, yes. Its "differernt". Like a chocolate teapot is different. Different doesn't make something good if it isnt a good idea. The real test of this shows qaulity is, if you werent a Marvel fanboy ready to **** and put a positive spin on anything anything to do with Marvel, would you be watching the show? I don't believe that there would be many people at all watching if the show wasnt Marvel featuring a few characters from the Marvel movies. I'll watch 1 more episode then I'm ready to consign this to being the very worst show about superheroes that I've seen.
If you don't like things automatically because they are Marvel, or you arent one of the couple of people who have run out of 1950s sitcoms to watch so you're watching one in 2021 then its a tough watch.Tl:dr So it's crap?
