The worst personality of the earth is still illogical

We are in the middle of the road “Foreign: Earth” The first season, and until now, I spend a great time. Wonderful production design, Science fiction stories They are really interesting, and there is a lot of great performances across actors. But there is one thing that continues to eavesdrop on me, in the middle of the season, and does not improve.

I am talking about the barefoot cartoon character, Boy Cavalier.

Now, to be clear, I am not coming actor Behind the character, Samuel Blander. This is the very strange role, I can only imagine that the actor is doing it exactly as he said. Blenkin manages strange behaviors, childish bangs, and comprehensive strangeness, as he can, but the issue here is the way the character is written, directed and placed in the chain.

Not only is his obsession with Petter, or the fact that he is not only wearing pajamas, a complex of his continuous superiority, or the fact that we do not really understand how old he is, or his first motives. “everyone thus boring“But yes, all these things, and others. I waited for him to reveal some new dimensions that make everything suitable, and at the same time, I made my best to give the bidder Noah Holie to take advantage of doubt and find a way out of these characters.

But in that mission, it failed. I was tired of watching this little man in a great show.

I promise that I do not hate pleasure or bleeding. I love other strange options on “Alien: Earth”, like the endless cross (sometimes three At the same time), or obsession with baseball games that have played more than 100 years ago, or the fact that he and his main shared sister is, uh, The fourth “Ice Age” movie? It is confusing, yes, but also a kind of magic – the type of response that I imagine is supposed to also have to the boy Kavalier.

The problem is that unlike these other things, which are more flavor, the alleged “Boy Genus” is a huge piece of story. We were told that his miracle company is one of the five major companies that governs all the land functionally, but we were also told that he is a young man. It seems that it is impossible for almost the fifth world to have fallen under the control of this man. child? teenager? He never explained how old he is already. We see entire cities and a huge infrastructure for all companies under its control, including long -term corporate contracts with personalities who seem larger than Kavalier. How is this schedule any meaning? For me, no. Maybe I picked up something that I missed.

It will be good and good if the thing we got from this strange character, rather than the most traditional science fiction villain, was interesting or meaningful. But I don’t feel this is the case.

I do not necessarily like Peter Ban that all passes through the “foreigner: the land”, but I love Noah Holie to take a great objective swing. What I do not think is that the boy Cavalier was necessary to make everything working. You can have your Neverland facility, or your lost children, and Wendy, all of whom are Coro’s names for their evil science projects. Have we really needed the CEO to be a fairy tale also to make everything stick?

This becomes particularly frustrated in episode 4 when Boy Kavalier has a video call with the CEO of Weyland-Yetani Corporation to negotiate those who maintain exotic samples on its shattered ship. Yutani from Sandra Yi Sencindive is the exact type of high scientific villain but on the ground that you expect from this type of story, and it looks very strange in billionaire billionaire pajamas. The fact that it is dealing with any kind of respect on an equal footing is the wilderness, given that it does not prove any behavior at any other point in the exhibition to earn the same credit from us.

We were told that it is a genius, but the flag is made in its laboratories last Scientists. He says that no one else is on his level, however everyone is simply more interesting through the virtue of not being completely unbearable. I really think that any middle -aged actor could have been cast in this role, and he was rewritten, and the rest of the show will be the same, in the absence of disturbing Cavalier’s declines. And as a writer, I Hate To be this obligatory, but what can I say? I simply hate this boy the king a lot.
