    Exactly. All the screen writers have left is the edge lord part of Ennis to stitch together into something resembling a plot. And it showed a lot in the part of the second season I forced myself to watch. Even the best writers can only do so much when they have to both use an established story and account for such a major change

      Yeah, I’m not going to say the original was perfect, but it at least stuck to the plot of “killing all supes” and the sacrifices Billy was willing to make to ensure that happened.

      I think it needed some changes for TV and to modernize it, but I think they were willing to give up the plot once they realized they had a hit.
