No idea who they think they’re fooling by billing it as season one but never mind.

Silly life things got in the way of me watching it as it aired – as well as a greatly diminished interest in the show after recent years – but it was actually quite good to be able to blast through it…Read more

Multiverse fatigue has greatly diminished my interest in the MCU already. Things escalated from the more personal stakes in Phase 1 to “we have to save the world” in the Avengers to “we have to save the universe” in Infinity War to “we have to save the multiverse and every variant of everyone is out there”.
