That stinks

I recently finished this and agree with the general consensus here. It was pretty middling and didn't manage to rekindle the magic that my 10-year-old self found in the original movie. It committed one of the cardinal sins of lazy sci-fi/fantasy writing which is dialog that includes some variation of the phrase, "Forget everything you think you know." That always elicits an eye-roll from me. The finale also suffered from a common issue with sci-fi/fantasy: the power and danger of the "magic lightning" used in the final battle was unclear and not well-established, so the dramatic tension of the fight was somewhat ambiguous.

I'm not terribly surprised this isn't getting a second season.

I'm a little surprised given the teaser at the end but things probably changed once Iger stepped back into the picture.

I would agree if the series didn't also stink for the most part. Like I said, some of it was good, but very little, and the showrunners seemed to think of the original movie as a joke. I know Jake Kasdan says otherwise, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who laughed at the original and thought the fans were nerds from what I've seen of his interviews.

I never liked the movie.

So not technically cancelled, and they've actually written out a volume 2, but they aren't planning to film in the next 12 months so they released all the actors. Having said that it's probably a long shot to get picked up again with no commitment unless things drastically change in the streaming world/Disney so I wouldn't necessarily get your hopes up, but still better news than yesterday.

I could take it or leave it. I was pretty meh about it after the first two episodes.

Then that explains why you would like this show.
