[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9407877, member: 18"] Yes absolutely it did, Spectrum (iirc - someone like that) basically approaches her and says "Oh well you didn't [I]really[/I] do anything wrong at all! Let's just forgive and forget!", and yet she did a lot of extremely wrong stuff, which is basically discounted as like, sour grapes or not really worth considering because they're just NPCs and this other PC told you to not care. This was discussed at great length at the time, so that you've forgotten such a contentious point is interesting. The show did a classic awful MCU thing and brought up real and kind of horrific concerns, then casually handwaved them. It's a huge pity and perhaps intentional that the MCU turned Damage Control into a weird FBI-like government agency, rather than the people who have to deal with the absolute disasters this awful superhuman creatures so casually create and flounce away from. A real Damage Control show, about the actual Marvel Damage Control, not the weird one from Ms Marvel would be tremendous, honestly, because they could look at what it would be like for people to live in a world like this, some the MCU shows seem weirdly keen on bringing up, but allergic to actually dealing with. It's like someone has a peanut allergy and they keep buying packets of peanuts or something. That wasn't really the case though. It was still 95% CGI pew-pew. The stuff with the Visions, weirdly, felt much better and also somehow like the show cared about that more, even though that was also CGI. Can't help but think Paul Bettany being one of only two people on the show to give a consistently good performance was part of that (the other being Kathryn Hahn - Liz Olsen was great in some scenes but not consistent). Both the last two episodes featured a ton of generic Marvel drivel too, instead of the much more imaginative stuff that had come before. [/QUOTE]
