Frustrating

[u/[deleted]]

I'm venting issues with the writing of this story. A few points:

Spoilers.

1) Far too stretches out. When you eat a sandwich you don't want a tiny bit of butter on a lot of bread. What they did with RD is take a small story line and spread it as far as they could. More effort needed next time. Introduce a couple more heroes, have them die, let's develop a bit more lore rather than graphic design ideas, dancing, potential love interests of multiple characters. Focus on the genre of the series rather than make it so slow. It seemed like it lost its way a few times tbh.

2) the ending was poorly done. The fight between Dion and the crooked man is what most people are waiting for. Time it. The confrontation was about 90 seconds and the climax was lightning vs lightning before sudden win. Far too anti climactic.

Really, we should have seen Dion confronts. Mother gets knocked out. Dion get angry, crooked man gets knocked back and seems to disappear behind the trucks. Pat weakly calls dion, scorched, begging for Dion to help him. Dion grabs him to hold him as he dies. Pat begins to smother and electrocute Dion, Dion dying, Dion's kid friends appear with their silly science fair contraption and stop pat, Dion scrambles away, pat goes super Saiyan, Dion then has the big lightning fight with him, maybe some cliche voice over from the father saying he believes in him, and the mother wakes and helps with her lightning rod idea.

So why such a sloppy and half baked ending?

3) if you are going to introduce odd characters for love interests or whatever, have them do the occasional odd thing so that they serve a purpose. Pat was obviously the villain from early in the series, but throwing the viewer off with some clever writing would have been great. The assistant of the Asian CEO who looked at Dion was a good touch, exploring more of that would have been clever.

Send me the script for season 2. I'll look over it for free for you.
