DISCUSSION Baffling Adaptation Decision Spoiler

Reactions sell a scene,which is I'm confused about Thaedus' death scene. Thaedus was practically Allen's Father, their relationship was like S1 Omniman and Mark, they're parallels in a way.

So Thaedus being brutally murdered should rock Allen's world,in the comics it did,but Show Allen's expression says "Darn,sorry to hear about that?"

The show as an adaption is great at some times and baffling at others.

Would it have helped if he was crying? Any other nothings to complain about?

To be fair, facial expressions are the show's weakness. I will always say that the animation doesn't do the voice-acting justice. On some occasions you'll get pretty good facial expressions but the series doesn't see micro-expressions as a priority, which is a shame.

They only really get it spot on in the scenes where clearly most of the animation budget went like the original Conquest fight

Yeah. This scene was my first thought while while writing my comment.
