I guess that's not too surprising, considering the last two episodes of the show only work under the assumption that every single viewer is going to see the film. Mandatory movies are my favorite types of movies!

There's a lot of questions about him like why does he have an artificial arm and why does he want to destroy the past? I would love to watch a V-Cinema about this guy. Unfortunately, that amazing suit was scrapped to make something else.

He definitely feels like he's missing a V-Cinema to round out his backstory. As it is, he shows up, takes over, and gets beat without ever really talking about what he hopes to accomplish or where he came from. ("I'm sick of time" is not really the sort of statement that eliminates curiosity!) He looks awesome, I buy him as some sort of Infinity Criminal or whatever, but he's bookended by question marks in a way that robs him of some of his effectiveness. He's fun to look at, though! That's not nothing!

Akari could have replaced them with a phone app and only two episodes would change.

I'm sure I was serious, but I'm also sure it wasn't meant to be a compliment.
