Something very boring with this show but i can't exactly define what it is. It's been 10 episodes and nothing really happened yet.
A solid season one finale that ends with the kids literally on the run and the parents siding with their missing kids against Jonah. Which probably won't endear anyone to Jonah anytime soon. I'm glad to know that there will be another season of this one and I'm looking forward to it already.
a very good episode of the show with a couple of unexpected twists.
So happy with the direction of the show. Was so worried about this adaptation but the changes from the comics make sense and the twist and turns keep coming. Can't wait to see what next season brings.
The heat is on! This show keeps getting better and better. I'm now also reading the comics on Marvel Unlimited.
My biggest gripe about the finale is that we don't get the satisfaction of finding out WHY the Pride did all of this. In some ways I appreciate that the show gives us more background on the Pride, but I also think that the comic was smart in that you know fairly quickly who the Gibborim are and why the Pride set their plan into motion. I'm still looking forward to the second season but I do hope they adjust the pacing a little.
The face off and battle between the kids and the parents is so powerful. Yes, the parents out rank the kids and can probably out manuever them, as seen when Tina takes the staff off Nico and negates Chase's gauntlets. But the kids are also an evolution from their parents (love the surprised/shocked looked on the parents to see what their kids really are), as we see from Karolina and Molly. They are a little more than their parents, and they have a passion behind their actions, as opposed to their parents drive for the status quo.
In comes Jonah, who outranks all of them, the real mastermind behind Pride and easily out strongs the kids, shooting them back with his powers. But even then, the kids literally get back up, dust themselves off and move forward as a group, ready to take on the evil that is probably bigger and stronger than them, but they do it anyway (much to the fears of their parents), because like all youth, they have hope for a better tomorrow. And that is powerful.
And here comes the ultimate Harry Potter moment, as Karolina faces off against Jonah in a power and power showdown. (i love this moment, cause Karolina is putting herself on the line in order to save her friends, and if that isn't love, i don't know what is)
OMG, they are heading into the observatory! Finally!!! One for all and All for One.
Teen regroup: Save Karolina. Parents Regroup: Shit! We're screwed. What else didn't we know.
Love the bonding moment between Chase and Nico as they dicsuss their love lives, or lack their off.
AAAAHHHH!!!! Their finally in their comic looks!!!! And with the difference in styles/time between the comics and now, it's great that they find the clothes at a Thrift shop. (Old Lace and Arsenic reference!!!! I really do love the writers) And we also have the white van!
I love that with all the world-ending shit going on, Nico, Chase and Gert manage to get some "they like you, do you like them?" time in. It's good to keep a balance apocalyptic and romance life. Saving the world doesn't matter unless you have a reason to save it.
WIth the parents finally realizing that they've been played by Jonah, epically, and that their kids are in major danger, it's interesting how each one of them reacts and tries to save their kids and figure out what Jonah is really up to....
Shit, Tina finds out that Karolina's mom knew how and why Amy died. She's the one that tried to warn Amy about running. Agh, this just way more complicated.
Damn it Frank!!! You fucking idiot. You and your massive Hollywood size ego and needing to feel big and powerful. Of course out of all the parents, you are the one that least understands what Jonah is and the most willing to help him.
The Wilders trying to save the kids by calling the cops on them for the death of their sacrifice (great use of the comic plot point) and getting them out of the reach of Jonah, but of course the kids don't know this. They just think their parents are villains. They have no clue that all the parents ever did was pave the road to hell with good intentions, not realizing that Jonah was the devil. And now their sins have come home to take their children.
fave lines: "its also my first day without my emotional support dinasour... I'll be fine." - Gert
Visual: love the shot of the kids infront of the bus Depot, all in their comic outfits. And Final shot as the kids "run." while we see the paper of LA's next earthquake... way to foreshadow season 2!
This show is just a massive ad for Lyft and Volvo. It's kinda entertaining but Gert annoys the crap out of me.

How cute was Karolina smiling at Nico right before kissing her? What a great first season, I love this show.
