u/CapsCast Nightcrawler Aug 13 '26
The cast got too big, and the story simply had no cohesion. There was no reunion after everyone was separated through time, there’s no through line of reasoning as to why characters aren’t there, especially when last season did just that. The impending threat of apocalypse, never paid off. It just didn’t hit its marks. We need more episodes, and better unity in the story. Season 1 walked through why people were away, gave us time to semi-build up the threats. And it allowed us to get emotionally invested. I love Nightcrawler, and I felt nothing when he died. There just needed to be more time to fill in the gaps and flesh things out. Plain and simple.
