R&M reached its fifth season and embarked on a hopeless descent.
At the end of this season, the fans were very excited, because "the hole that lasted for five seasons was filled at once, and infinite possibilities were opened." "Shocked, Tears"!
But what I feel more is the helplessness of the main creator. This kind of "splashing dog blood" to fill the pit is actually a compromise that is difficult to maintain the core value of the drama itself.
Seasons four and five began to "fuck" the Marvel universe more and more intensively, as Marvel movies stole R&M's gold medal writers. After losing the screenwriter, R&M couldn't keep telling a brain-filled story with an episode of "Eight Steps". In the second and third seasons, there are fewer and fewer treasure stories that are closed-loop and parallel narrative within 23 minutes, easy to understand but bring a long aftertaste and emotional impact. In order to combat this "decay", the fourth season began to enter esoteric metaphors. After watching each episode, people had to search for "interpretation", otherwise they would not be able to get the essence. It's not that the episodes have become more "god", and maintaining the force by making reading difficult is just a PUA gameplay of pretending to be a ghost. In the fifth season, the most impressive 23-minute closed loop should be the first episode "The Gate of Time and Space". I'm sorry, but it was still written by the gold medal screenwriters in the past. There are many episodes left, and there are even rotten memes like "big sperm", so there is no need to explain the reason.
In the case of being unable to maintain a high-quality "eight-step closed loop", you can only go back to "drama", that is, the trick of throwing blood. Drama is not a sign of R&M. All the dramas have love and hatred, and the scars of the past are not new at all. Grandpa's past, friendship with Birdman, bad morty in Space City. . . These are the pits left by the peak period of the second and third seasons. Of course, if you fill in now, fans will "get what they want and get hooked", but it is far from being brilliant. Competitiveness. To put it harshly, the "general climax" at the end of the fifth season is nothing more than a waste of money.
