Jormungand 12 (FINAL)
Hard to believe that a show tackling the brutal and cruel nature of weapons dealing could be so boring and unremarkable. It doesnt even try to make a unique commentary about their world. If someone is saying something DEEP, then its the typical, Blah, blah, blah, we sell weapons to good guys and bad guys. Blah, blah, blah, we must be bad guys ourselves for causing so much destruction in the world through the sale of our weapons. Throw in a lot of people who have been scarred by the horrors of war and youve got yourselves a smorgasbord of failed endeavors into a dark and gritty underworld.
The action is neutered for the most part, leaving very little to excitement. There are too many characters and theyre so poorly explored that my caring for the Kokos crew has not changed from the first episode to the last. That is to say, I only cared about Koko, Jonah and Valmet. By the time I finished the final episode, I still only cared about those 3. I still wouldnt be able to identify each member of Kokos crew in a line-up, theyre so forgettable. Then you've got a mix of uninteresting villains that never truly felt as if they posed a threat to our protagonists. Jormungand is just lackluster.
Through all of this, I think I will still give season two 3-episodes to prove that Jormungand is going to get better.
