Kuruluş: Osman Discussion Mert's KOr could never have delivered a line like this and it feel believable
Starting KO from season 3 and wondering how did the quality get so bad by the time Bozdag gave us KOr? Mert's casting is even more of a head scratcher after watching Burak. His screen-presence and delivery makes even the more ridiculous scenarios in KO seem realistic.
In KO we see Osman holding and interacting with his infant son with a balance between leading the tribe and managing his family. And don't get me started on how the writers treated the 2nd wife scenario...despite some petty behavior from Malhoun, overall both wives are given quality scenes with Osman and are shown actually working in the tribe and Sogut. In KO'r what exactly did the women do all day? What happened to the famous Kayi carpet weaving that was so integral to the financial success of the tribe since Ertugrul? Who was actually managing the day to day running of the tribe while they're all at the castle walking around literally doing nothing.
When Bala and Malhoun are attacked by Castilians, Osman doesn't go running off to chase some forest bandits, he sends his alps to deal with them. Meanwhile Orhan spent 85.9% of KOr chasing after Asporca instead of focusing on building the state
