Nitpick November
I wish there were characters that actually represented the general populace of the places the show visits. We see headmasters and high-ranking officers and ceos and politicians, but no one who’s just... a guy
Mantle’s problems are easily forgotten because there’s no a real representative for them, no one for the audience to bond with as we watch them struggle under the weight of others’ commands. Robin and her gang don’t count because they have power, as both Hunters and politicians. They’re not even from Mantle; same as Pietro, who’s there part-time for charity work(?). Hell, the guy I thought was going to be Mantle’s Face was ganked in the very same episode he’s introduced in. Mantle’s issues are always looked at through the lens of those in control
Haven doesn’t let us see anyone outside the main cast and the season’s villains, so any idea of what the average person is going through in the city that recently lost all its Hunters is completely up to interpretation
When the gods are the only ones you see, you forget the little people being crushed under their feet
