Netflix apparently has a rule that movies they produce must explicitly state the goal out loud three times. Because they expect viewers to only half pay attention while browsing on their phones.
But yeah, the dumbed-down-ness really sucks. I only got 3 episodes into the Avatar live action TV show, and a big part of it was the quality of writing. It constantly felt like they were just telling me stuff instead of just letting the story happen. When the opening episode did a variation of the cartoon’s famous opening monologue three times I knew we were in trouble. And it just got worse from there.
