What's with the uneven writing?
Seriously, what's with the uneven writing?
Mind Control girl gets the Dean to admit to what has been going on under the school, and the true nature of school itself, but doesn't bother to record or post it online, or anything, and then Mind Control Girl makes the Dean kill herself, so that opportunity is closed completely. Then, later, for maximum impact, she delays killing someone until his death is on life feed. What the hell?
Blood Control girl is in the middle of a battlefield full of dead bodies, and it takes her forever to realize that there's a ton of blood for her to use as a weapon, and then she only kills one person with it. Also, when she needs a way to protect someone from a touch-attack, instead of using a lasso or other restraint we've seen her do tons of times, she detonates a limb. WHY???
The Supers vs Normals seems to have just been thrown into the mix without any set-up. Yeah, this is the world with Vought Corporation in charge of Supers, and full of propaganda videos, but we've not seen this anywhere previously, until the riot breaks out.
Why are there even any "Normal" students at this college? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be studying anywhere else? Literally anywhere else?
Honestly, almost nothing about this episode makes sense.
Personally, I think the "Superpowereds" series by Drew Hayes does a much better job of explaining and exploring the world of supers within a college environment. Not only is the story more compelling, with more interesting characters, but it is also written with better consistency of mood, tone, character integrity, and character development. I'd be much more interested in seeing that series turned into a TV show (just not one produced by the people behind this show).
