This review contains spoilers
This episode was full of pleasantly surprising and brilliantly set-up reveals. It perfectly explains why Max couldn’t wake up: after defeating Vecna last season, her soul—or her mind—was actually taken by him and locked away in his own dark mental prison. This setup seamlessly brings Max back into the story. While her physical body is severely injured, inside this constructed world, Max is incredibly strong. This also clarifies why Vecna can’t come in person—he was severely wounded by the main group last season and is now being contained and exploited by the military using technology. That part feels a bit far-fetched, though. How did the military find a way to suppress these superpowered individuals when even the scientists who originally studied them couldn’t? Maybe it suggests those earlier scientists didn’t want to control them through harmful means. And well, called it—Vecna knew where Will was all along. He was just playing along, and now he’s turning back to capture him. 这集非常大的惊喜非常好的设置这样就解释了为什么MAX醒不过来了,在上一季打败了Vecna后MAX的可以说是灵魂或者心智被Vecna夺走了关在了他的小黑屋,这样一来就MAX就可以无缝衔接出场他的身体虽然身受重伤但是在虚构世界里MAX可是强的很,所以难怪Vecna不能直接亲自来,就是因为上一季被主角团重创了之后才被军队控制住了利用了科技,不过感觉还是有点太离谱了,军队居然能找到克制这些超能力者,就连以前的研究这些的科学家也没找到控制办法这会又找到了,会不会说明是其实以前的科学家不想通过这个方式伤害他们,好了果然应了上集的验Vecna知道will在哪,他只是在做戏现在调头回来要抓will了大概是。 这集非常大的惊喜非常好的设置这样就解释了为什么MAX醒不过来了,在上一季打败了Vecna后MAX的可以说是灵魂或者心智被Vecna夺走了关在了他的小黑屋,这样一来就MAX就可以无缝衔接出场他的身体虽然身受重伤但是在虚构世界里MAX可是强的很,所以难怪Vecna不能直接亲自来,就是因为上一季被主角团重创了之后才被军队控制住了利用了科技,不过感觉还是有点太离谱了,军队居然能找到克制这些超能力者,就连以前的研究这些的科学家也没找到控制办法这会又找到了,会不会说明是其实以前的科学家不想通过这个方式伤害他们,好了果然应了上集的验Vecna知道will在哪,他只是在做戏现在调头回来要抓will了大概是。
