I'm just not sure who this is for anymore? I understand that they are attempting to appeal to younger viewers, but these sketches don't make sense. Two big dress up sketches that have little to no real comedy in them. A cold open that's trying to comment on all of the problems with SNL lately, that is just painfully accurate. Che and Jost felt so stiff and uncomfortable during WU. And the filmed short was just so one note, which is my problem with the show all together these days. Everything just seems like a loose premise that they're not sure how to end. It's either ends in a song with a weird dance like a tiktok video or just the same joke they've been pushing the entire sketch repeated for the final tenth time. The worst out of all of this is that it's just not funny. I have a hard time believing this appeals to anyone young, middle, or old. Conservative or liberal. This show is just not funny anymore. I think this is the final death raddle of SNL and Lornes going to end it after season 50. Hopefully they'll bring all the good people back.

Mark Millar originally wanted this to be a movie, but was advised by James Gunn to turn it into a 40 hour series, because of the extensive backstory and set up that would need to go into it. If we were to get this as a movie we'd have a Watchmen situation on our hands where everything about the characters is set up in the three minutes we had before the opening credits. I would urge people to give it a chance and to wait and see what happens. Yes, this season is setting things up, but considering the alternative I'd rather get it this way. In a market that is completely saturated by superhero stories, it's refreshing to see something with a little more depth and world building than others we've seen. Give it a chance and disregard the 10 star and 1 star reviews. It's not that black and white folks.
