[Coi ch187] Am I the only one who is really disappointed of the Donghua?
I just feel like the entire thing is way to „harry potter“ style. With flashy magic and stuff that doesn’t match up with the book. For example the potion brewing has these copious amounts of rainbow steam coming out. Or Leonard Mitchell, an sequence EIGHT midnight poet, is able to dodge bullets and stuff. This is completely contrary to what the book suggests, that on low sequences almost every problem can be solved by a gun. The Story with the mandated punisher feels also over sentimental from my point of wiew. The old Neal episode is just annoying in my eyes and way to long and slow. Than we reach my biggest criticism yet again: the fight VS. the mandated punisher which lost control: how the heck can Leonard as an midnight poet fight against a folk of rage wich is actually proficient in strength. This makes no sense what so ever because it isn’t even night. If it was night than: „yes“ a midnight poet can fight a folk of rage on equal footing. In the book the fight against the rampager is fought by I think four mandated punishers and two Night Hawks. And to tie it all up here are some things that I find to flashy in the show, in the book there just mundane tasks the person does: Dalys spirit mediation, what they do with nightmares is completely different from what they do in the books trying that the target doesn’t realize it’s dreaming, Klein always doing some weird fog stuff when divining, the gray fog taking time to rebuild, everything they do against Megose and so on and so forth. Well does anyone agree with me?
