S2 made it really obvious that the characterization is... plot convenient? Like partly because I was going into it after Eto had been asking about enneatypes so I was more focused on it, but there were a couple points where it was really clear that they were more interested in visual or storytelling punch than consistent characterization or plot and they also have no idea what to do with the characters beyond the plot arcs they've... already explored. I was also really annoyed they all reset back to for some reason not wanting to believe Five about the apocalypse after... he was right about the last one they refused to believe him about?
I'm ... tentatively still going to watch S3 when it comes out because I feel like it's got elements to shape into something I'd really like. But I'd really hoped S2 would assuage my trepidation about the weak moments in S1, and instead it kinda just. Felt weaker as a whole? (Mad about Ben being sidelined for most of this season too lulz. And looks like in S3 he'll ... sort of be there but it's really a whole new character so we're really never going to get much more explanation out of what happened with him huh?)
