I liked how William Boimler was so done with Multiverse fatigue. Felt topical given the current Hollywood trend.

Agreed - it was nice to see them tackle multiverse fatigue head-on. It was even nicer to have Lily(!) provide a bit of a rebuttal to it, and argue that such stories don't have to be hacky.

    Still, there was such a catharsis to his eye rolling dismissal. I don't have the exact quotes, but when he remarks that the bad guy is certain to be this or that or this or "human Worf" or some other shocking known character I really had to smile. Also his description of it as an endless parade of lazy rehashings was just on point.

    Obviously, I still enjoy it, because here we are enjoying it. But at points his weariness and sarcasm were reminding me (favorably) of Rick and Morty. With way less cynicism, but with a lot of the same remarkably well-executed self-aware snark.
