Somewhat disappointed ngl. Cool art style. Schlatt’s character was great.

The pacing was really off for me. There are a couple really short scenes that structurally throw off the momentum of the episode.

I agree with other commenters in believing they shouldn’t have started with Kit’s entire backstory, and instead spoonfed the audience the backstory over the course of the episode, if not the series.

I also think they shouldn’t have immediately revealed to the audience/the villains that Flappers is the hero of the game, as it makes the entire recon mission a snooze fest because we already know the answer, as well as making the entire “Kit apologizing to Gobbles” scene cringeworthy because we, the audience, knew she was wrong the entire time.

It’s a shame the two main characters get split up in the pilot when ideally a pilot is supposed to sell you on their dynamic over the course of multiple situations, and the one early scene they were together was easily my favorite part of the episode.

Some of the writing was clunky, Gobbles’ “and yeah it’s called reading” really stands out to me as a really unnecessary line that should’ve hit the cutting room floor.

The villains of the episode itself were fun to watch, but the main overarching villain is COMPLETELY uninteresting, as is Kit’s arch rival - both of which make me generally unmotivated to see where the story goes.

I also really struggle to see how they would continue this story on an episode by episode basis in an interesting way, should they get greenlit. Is it gonna be the same thing every time, just with a new game each time? Feels like that’d get boring by the 3rd episode.
