Should finish up season 2 tonight. Love the show. The soundtrack for every episode has been great too.

5 episodes in and this season is very lackluster. the acting is really bad. the wigs that they wear should go back to the wig department. the soundtrack sucks, but i guess they couldn't get permission from the actual owners of the music

Finished the season... Really enjoyed it overall.

The only part I didn't care for was the Vanya/lesbian plot. Didn't really see the need for it at all, but Ellen Grace is a lesbian irl so I'm sure she helped them come up with that #Woke sideplot.

Great show. Number 5 really makes it one, imo

I thought her name was Ellen Page?

Anyways yeah that story line felt forced. I wonder if the character is gay in the comics.

It is... Dunno why I said Grace.

But yeah, the random lesbian #Wokeness was crammed in for literally no reason. I don't think Vanya's sexuality was ever explored in the comics(pretty sure the dyke thing was only done for the show), but it's been a while since I read UA.

Well on wiki her full name is listed as Ellen Grace Philpotts-Page.

And I'd be genuinely curious what the writers felt making her a lesbian added to the story.

added nothing at all.

remove the lez crap and the story remains the exact same. no way ellen page didnt have a hand in that plotline, given how stupidly outspoken she is regarding all things in the gay community.

she probably told them she wouldnt return for season two unless they made her character gay.

Vanya is the most annoying character. And I think they made her a lesbian just so they could throw in this plot about how gay people were treated back in the 1960s.

My analysis too, Diego really became the most likeable character. I am in favour of LGBT rights etc., but that plot just seemed shoe horned and added nothing. Ellen Page used to be really pretty but not so much now.

Yeah 5 is cool. And probably the most powerful besides Vanya.

We don't know what he is all we know is he isn't [SPOILER - highlight to read]: human. He could be from another planet or I dunno, could be like Abe Sapien or something, some kind of creature native to Earth.
