Yeah it certainly wasn't as bad as the internet claims. There were a lot of cool things here. That said, it feels like they came up with a pretty cool outline of the series. But, they never wrote or shot the story part in between each beat of the outline, leaving little or missing motivations for the character's actions. I found myself constantly being pulled out of the show and thinking why would the character do that? And, you fell in love in one day with the terrifying guy that just killed your father figure and childhood friends after seeing his junk? Not that she couldn't but we need more scenes over time to show these radical changes in a character.
Season 2.. You think so? Part of the internet was trying to organize a boycott of Disney over this series. Disney doesn't have the stomach.

You raise some good points and the 'motivation' factor was certainly a stumbling block for me. Overall, some pretty cool stuff we got in the show but it could have been done better. Sounds like season 2 isn't in the cards which is a bummer because I'd like to see some of these characters in the future. Thank you for listening!
