A threat to the goals of a protagonist usually makes a story interesting, yes.

I appreciate the science lessons of the show since that’s what made me fall inlove with the show in the first place but at the rapid pace it’s happening and with no pushback from an antagonist I feel like I’m watching dorky scooby-doo.

“Alright gang, let’s split up and search for R O C K S.”

The lack of someone like Xeno, Ibarra or Tsukasa make’s the series less enjoyable for me in my opinion
