…I don’t even know what to say. The show has been reduced to doing brain teasers. Terrible brain teasers. The rest of the episode was picnics and Kazuya having flashbacks to Japan. Because Kazuya is such an interesting and engaging character and what’s really entrancing about this show are the picnics. That’s it. I’m tapping out for good. The show had its moments… 10 episodes ago… but this godawful writing and horrible horrible Kazuya are not worth the slim hope that it might do something non-awful again.
Apparently the answer is because in this version, his optic beams have been replaced by optic death rays that obliterate everything in front of him. But only his enemies. There’s no collateral damage at all. The second episode did little to change my opinion of the show. The CG car/motorcycle chase was painfully generic, although it was quite amusing when they outright forgot to animate characters talking. The other ‘fight’ this week against an over-mutated… thingy… was little more than stills of Cyclops looking tormented about shooting it while it crushed Storm. I swear. Cyclops’s power may as well be melodrama. The rest of it was the usual Madhouse-Marvel bleh of people standing around motionlessly talking to each other with especially hammy voice acting on top of it, not to mention the other things that make this show completely impossible to take seriously.
