I know someone's gonna say I don't appreciate story-telling or understand the importance of giving closure to ALL the characters, not just the core five. But, I need you to understand that still requires the spin-off stories to be interesting.
On paper, I think the hot spot episode had a lot going for it. That sort of tight, suffocating narrative can be really gripping if done right. I just don't know if Hotspot of all people was the one we needed as our anchor. Even an actual Wildebeast ep coulda had more juice.
On the flip side, the Titans East have proven their ability to carry episodes already. And you KNOW I have nothing bad to say about Control Freak. But, unfortunately, their ep just felt...bland.
I don't know, maybe I'm an old geezer who doesn't understand artisty. Or, maybe this was a very weird choice lmao.
At least we can all agree that things would be better if they gave the one-off villains this focus instead lol
