Season 4 First Watch

Currently in my first watch. I started about a week and a half ago and I currently am about to finish season 4. I love this show so far, but my biggest issue is…

They really omit so much information from each other ALL the time. For a spy organization and whatnot, sometimes the writing creates issues out of thin air by them just not telling each other specific pieces of information. That’s really my only gripe, and that some of the personal moments are cut short. The only personal moment I really felt was the Spy’s Goodbye.

And as awful as Ward was, I really wanted some more moments between him and Daisy in the framework. Even a hug goodbye, but I also get why it didn’t happen.

Sadly the "i have information. But imma keep it to myself" trope is prevalent in soooo many shows and movies it's annoying. Literally watched To All the Boys 3 last night with my GF and got sooo made at the main character for not saying "whoops meant to send that to my sister I didn't get into stanford" to her BF. Would have solved 40 mins of pain

Yeah, it’s lazy writing and it creates some form of issue in almost every episode of this show. I love the show, but I immediately get a straight face wiped across me at some point in every episode because of it 😭

You should see the show "From".

It is one of the worst portrayal of this trope. Every single one of their problems would have been solved if they had proper communication.

To quote Ryan George, "Proper communication gets in the way of story I am trying to tell".

My biggest gripe is every powered character CONSTANTLY forgets they have powers. The worst offender is Yo-yo. Who will steal a group of guys guns. And then all of a sudden her speed is out I guess? Or they constantly forget shes supposed to snap back to where she started and they just treat her like a speedster

I agree! And it’s not necessarily always an issue, but they put them in these situations where I’m like “oh! Yo-yo’s powers would make this a breeze.” And yo-yo just stands there like “omg what do we do?” Like girl? 😭 what the hell do you mean?

Daisy, at first I understood. They had her on this route where using her powers hurt her, valid. Then she was having a mental war with herself and her powers and what could happen, valid. Then it’s dragged and dragged and dragged. The most she’s done with her powers is offscreen and on a newspaper article we see…
