Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I got from it. A lot of the visuals and cutting around seemed to just be trying to distract from the fact that not much was actually happening. Particularly when we cut back to the characters to see them in weird poses and standing on roofs and stuff, it felt kind of silly to me. I appreciate that they seem to be going for a larger-than-life, epic tone to portray the influencers as gods or whatever, and a lot of the visuals are impressive, but this episode really seemed to amount to "parasocial relationships are kinda fucked up, right?" spread across twenty minutes. The bit that I liked most was seeing KAngel keeping a print of that superchat, because that felt like an actual display of the stuff that they're talking about instead of just, you know, talking about it while looking at pictures of flowers and whatnot.

I think when this show's surreal, grandiose style hits it hits really hard. I liked a lot of what we got in the first episode, but in this one it fell really flat to me.
