Several people had recommended that I watch Mythic Quest.
They thought I would like it based on the fact that I could stomach it’s always sunny in Philadelphia.
I watched the first three episodes and I hate every single character.
Every single person in that show is selfish, narcissistic, stuck up, or just straight up evil. They don’t listen to each other. They don’t interact with each other. And the plot of every episode so far is “a group of terrible people interact with each other”.
I regret having watched three episodes of Mythic Quest.
On archer, the worst characters were the best ones. Archer, Krieger, Cheryl and malory were amazing. Lana was only funny when she was pissed. I loved that they often like blew away the bad guys with how fucked up they are.
And the bouncing Straight Man act plays into Archer, each individual character has periods of rationality that you can judge their insanity against.
It’s one thing when you have a show where everybody goes off of the rails all of the time always, and another where each person is generally reasonable and sane, but then they get thrust into wild situations that cause them to lose their grip on their normal self-control.
I had to give up on Mythic Quest because I was just too angry at all of the characters.
As a group they should have never made it that far. Every single character from the start of the show is trying to crash and burn as hard as they possibly can, all of the time, always, pathologically incapable of self-reflection or at taking input from the other people that obviously care about them and want the group as a whole to succeed.
