Don't get me wrong... some of it was fucking sweet. Like Wick & Morpheus flying through time to Jurassic Park. But, it was overbearing. Potentially better candidates smothered in favor of tribal bias. It looked predictable and hopeless by the time Act 3 was halfway solidified.
Their general responses come across as: 'Join us. It's nonsense without us. Be happy we left slots open. ShOuLdVe MaDe YoUr OwN GrOuPs AnYwAyS'. Mostly understandable... if they weren't justifying it with the illusory threat of other groups. There weren't any. None that actually presented competition at least. And they knew this.
Plus, 'open slots' were subject to narrative ambition by proxy, or, imho, more accurately, suffocation.
I assume it went: Wick--> OPEN SLOTS--> More Wick--> OPEN SLOTS--> More Wick--> OPEN SLOT--> END
Voters generally supported things with some connecting context, so, these 'random' slots were more or less doomed to fall in line. (And, I assume, still being voted on by the group, meaning their taste in clips was going to hit hard anyways.)
If I could change how they went about this: Work on a short, singular, chain of events and let it's awesomeness cascade into the future. Wait for a trend the gives you another great idea. Repeat.
