I'm still baffled why you keep arguing with me. I am AGREEING with you. Had I done homework and looked up the show beforehand, I probably would have skipped it. Doesn't change anything really. For me, this was not worth my time.

I can’t help you at this point. I can only conclude that despite your claim that you don’t like being argued with, you really like being argued with. Enjoy!

Like I said upthread, it's a Marvel show for people who dont like Marvel or superheroes. It's for that A24 crowd, the contempt for the genre is fully in some of the responses here. Yes, there are room for different stories in the MCU, but, for me at least, if the same story can be told in the real world with the bare minimum of the things that are part of the genre, why did it need to be part of the genre? Same question we ask about what it means to be human in terms of transhumanism. How much of your humanity can be stripped away before you're no longer considered human or something else entirely for that matter?

The issue here for me isnt that it's a comedy drama about two actors that appeals to people who who are contemptuous of the supers genre. The issue is that there's almost NOTHING in this series for the people who DO enjoy the supers genre. You literally could have filed the names off, made Trevor an actor who had done something that caused him to be ostracized or "cancelled" (like Michael Richards) and kept Simon as someone who may have an ability or power and was hunted by "generic government agency" and it would literally be the same show.

No one is debating the perfomances, direction and pacing of the show. The craft is on full display. And the thing is we could have gotten a show with BOTH the acting and performances AND what most people expect from a "superhero" genre labeled show. But instead we really just got some "elitist", indie/A24 style, film bro appeasing tripe.

what can I say but as someone who loves comic books, superheroes, and marvel, it sure was nice that they could tell a story without relying on the tired tropes of the mcu. I like it when my comic books make the material matter, instead of just telling me its important. That i feel is often the problem with many of the MCU movies, mostly the Avengers - Iron Man did a great job making you care, and so did Guardians of the Galaxy.

Sure I love a good beat'em up, but I want it to happen because it matters, not just because we have a great SFX budget.

One episode left. It was...so...hard...not to binge this thing, or at least to immediately watch the last episode. But we're forcing ourselves to savour it. My favourite MCU TV show, by a mile (and I really like some of them, like Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, DD:BA, and WandaVision).
