re: #48 Stanley Sea
Yes. It was.
I watched the first episode of the 24 reboot on Amazon Prime, and they’re doing the same thing with the UN blue helmet guy.
I understand that there’s a plot to advance and not every character is going to get rounded out into something recognizable as a human being, but these kind of go beyond tired cliches or even normal caricatures. They just seem like examples of really bad, exploitative writing, insulting to the viewer.
