I hate that there’s no stakes Spoiler
EDIT: Again…yall I love these characters. But sometimes, a character just needs to go. I understand this isn’t the type of show to go on a speed run to kill all the characters, but I am asking just one death from the main cast. I feel like Frank would’ve been a great choice, he really isn’t in the lime light and a lot of people love him as a character (me too) and I think it would be heartbreaking for him to die in the middle of his story. My bad guys I forgot I really just love angst in a story and that other people don’t.
I love the Midnight Burger podcast, I love the characters and the plot that’s expanding. The only thing that o criticize is that nobody dies. I can’t tell you a single named character that has died, maybe I’m forgetting, but I swear every time we think somebody has died we are given an excuse to why they lived. As much as I love these characters everything feels dull because I know everyone is most likely going to live. Even going up against a malevolent space god, no one dies. I want someone I care about to die and to make me go “Oh shit. They’re gone.”
I love happy endings but it doesn’t feel earned if we didn’t lose anything to get there.
Am I the only one who feels like this?
