What's the bone you have to pick please tell?
Anon you gotta let a girl have her vague little vents in the final tags of a meme post lol. Answering that question properly would be a long-ass ramble, and not one I’m really ready to go off over while I’m still in the post-episode rush. There’s also just certain forms of negativity that I usually prefer to avoid bringing to the table?
…But since you asked, I suppose you could say that the gist is I often find myself feeling a bit weary of Will’s handling of Sparrow as an NPC, or more accurately his general lack of concern for the twins’ arcs in the greater narrative context. I think it’s great that Normal is a very emotionally stubborn character, but sometimes it’s a little *too much* for my personal tastes. Which is to say, I often get the impression that he is very preoccupied with optimizing Normal’s angst factor (often at the expense of nuance- particularly with respect to Sparrow’s characterization), and much less interested in giving Norm a relationship with his dad that actually develops or goes anywhere new or interesting. Mostly it just leaves me worried about whether or not things will end on a narratively satisfying beat or not by the end of the season (which, to be clear, does not mean I expect or want everything to be rainbows and butterflies, either).
Which isn’t to bring down Will too much as a player either- there’s obviously very many things that he does extremely well but. I mean all the players have their strengths and weaknesses, and when it comes to Will I guess one of my major critiques lies there! Hopefully that answers your question at least somewhat, anon. Not asking you to agree with these feelings, obviously. But hey, you’re the one who asked lol.
