The first impression I get after watching the first episode is that it doesn't look like a superhero drama in the CW Green Arrow universe at all. Of course, the production cost of this drama was mentioned in the early publicity. It will be relatively high. From the first episode, it can be clearly seen that the screen and special effects of the series are much more refined than other series in the Green Arrow universe. The color grading and mirroring of some pictures even have a strong sense of tie-in, and the contrast style of special effects paragraphs is close to that of other series. The super girl will also make a lot of colors. From the point of view of production alone, Chaolu will be closer to the several dramas in the Titan universe currently on HBOMAX. The overall texture performance is far beyond the specifications under the CW standard, which is very surprising and surprising.
But aside from the production, the core of the drama is completely different from other dramas in the Green Arrow universe (including the star-chasing girl). The feeling of the first episode is about a middle-aged couple and the small family they set up. s story. Although two visual spectacles are arranged at the beginning and end to support the scene, these two scenes account for a small proportion of the one-hour-long first episode, and most of the entire episode is still focused on the small family of Superman. , this is also the point where I feel completely different from other dramas in the Green Arrow universe in the way of thinking and direction.
Green Arrow, Lightning, Supergirl, Black Thunder, and even Titans and Doom Patrol, all performed in a hurry in the first episode, and will maximize the audience through the performance of narrative rhythm or action scenes. An exhilarating, euphoric viewing experience, and by that measure, the first episode of Ultra Debut is completely unconventional. After the opening few sunny and warm flashbacks, the whole episode entered a relatively heavy and gentle rhythm and story. The first episode spends a lot of ink on describing the troubles of the various characters in the family, and some of the problems they have to face and solve are even very real, which also makes this superhero drama look more real.
Of course, for a story with Superman as the protagonist, there will always be a big pattern and a big crisis to run through, and this show is no exception, so although the first episode will focus most of the time on the Superman family, it is still this season The crisis to be faced lays all kinds of foreshadowing. Judging from the first episode, at least this season Chaolu will have to face the two villains in civilian and hero life at the same time, plus the trouble of bringing a baby, which means that they will need to balance their various identities even more, which will also It's one of the highlights of the sequel to the show. But what should be mentioned in particular is that in the first episode, the story line of the family and the two sons is not well integrated with the crisis main line of this season, especially the cut between the two scenes of Superman and the sons at the end is obviously flawed Yes, it feels like one side of the storyline is forcibly pushed into the other, which also makes this part look a bit crotch-stretched.
It is also worth mentioning that although the super-exposed drama is part of the Green Arrow universe, the first episode of this series does not mention other characters and events in the Green Arrow universe, and it looks more like an independent drama. set. Contrary to this, the two protagonists of Chaolu are not portrayed much in the first episode. It may be that the default audience is already familiar with the characters of these two characters when they appeared in the Green Arrow universe, so the point is Putting it all on two sons, it would seem a little surprising. But my personal point of view is that before watching the show, it is better to understand the image settings of the two characters in this show, otherwise it may be a little uncomfortable.
In general, this is a super-British drama that will appear more mature or even heavy in all aspects. The style is different from other dramas in the CW Green Arrow universe. Judging from the performance of the first episode, it is a super show. The episode is still worth following.
Although there is an hour-long first episode, the second episode and the first episode will be more like the navigation episode of this series, and I will write more here. The first episode is based on the perspective of Superman and the younger son, and the second episode is mainly about Louis and the eldest son. The two episodes officially set the tone and beginning of the show. Of course, the common theme of the two episodes is the word family. The proportion of crisis events is not large, and the follow-up stories will definitely focus on this theme to gradually advance the plot. In addition, the two villains in the first episode did not show their faces, and it was only in the second episode that the two were given a certain amount of brush and ink for background and character shaping, which also made the first two episodes together. It will be more like the beginning of the show.
