So now that my thoughts are more gathered
I loved season 2, the humor was pretty spot on other than the potty jokes, I am glad that the most of the characters were explored in a little more depth, the interactions, and of course there are things that I wished were different but....
Buuut...
Why did they basically give Vanya... all of Klaus’s powers...?....while giving him 0 powers...?Like I know he is no longer sober because of Dave which is a whole other story.
But even the ending fight scene he gets caught by ghost when falling whilst drunk (sober?)....why didn’t they just give him his levitation powers like in the comics?
I know he’s the “fuckup useless one”...but for real why even have a superhero character if he is just going to suddenly just conveniently not be in or disappear every fight scene and have no development torward strength or weakness? Why couldn’t he and Vanya have different types of telekinetic powers? They both could levitate....Why is he basically just a normal person? Vanya suddenly has full control of her powers, (memories or not I guess) and there is Klaus who seemingly fought against his training can’t develop his powers the near 2 decades he has been away from Reginald?
He never asks for help from the ghosts, never sees any ghosts although that is his fear and power, never talks too them. His little trip to the after life still has not been explored. And the whole bringing back to life thing that Vanya has been a fanon Klaus power since he is the door of life and death it was kind of mind blowing that they gave it to someone else....like they might as well have given it too Diego or Luther I was so shocked.
Like I really fell more in love with Vanya this season and I’m happy she is apparently over her family fucking her entire life over and they are over everything she did to them....but was there such a big power imbalance in the comics? And the fact that she was the one who got closure with Ben instead of Klaus was kind of like “a big woah” for me to take in. The brother who has been with him for so many years is suddenly gone and there is no shown moment of “oh Ben saved me using the powers you apparently gave him and now he is gone btw, but oh don’t panic”....And I’m happy Klaus seems to have relief Ben “Is in a better place”....I’m still kind of processing Bens “storyline”.
The fact that Klaus was in the 60s for 3 years was never discussed...the fact that he somehow got hundreds(thousands?) of people to follow him is never discussed...and what he did and said to gain that “following” other than to do a parlor trick...
The Dave plot line was just kind of heart breaking and it didn’t go anywhere... Like couldn’t he left him a letter or some shit? Like that whole situation felt like it was also just to further Dave’s plot line and from what I have heard Cody Ray Thompson kind of got uncomfortable with the sudden attention he received from fans so I really doubt he is ever going to be in the show ever again, which breaks my heart but I understand.
I don’t know, I feel as if everyone was kind of baited into thinking Klaus was going to get a power upgrade and a storyline with everyone using his face for promotion... Instead he is just used to push Bens storyline further which I guess is fair since that was Bens past role?...I guess that I just assumed that he would play a bigger role since everyone was being so quite about what Klaus was up too in the 60 other than fight with Ben and be a cult leader...and hey I guess that’s all he did and no other development and that’s why there was no in depth discussion in interviews of Klaus. He was hardly in the show.
Well I’m done with my hyperfixation ramble but tell me how y’all feel.I am trying not too be mean and I love all the characters! I’m just questioning some of the choices of the creators. I don’t want a big wave of sudden hate for the show cause that just hurts everyone involved. And hey it’s not my show.
