I have not seen this show but I wanna talk about Glass for a minute since this is a Shyamalan post and the only place where I can talk about it lmao I put off watching that movie for literal years because everyone said it was so horrible and unwatchable. He has put out some genuine irredeemable garbage at points so I kinda took people's word for it and skipped the movie.

Well, finally watched it last month and maybe I'm going insane but I feel like 90% of the hate on that film was an anti-Shyamalan circle jerk and/or people being angry that it isn't an action packed Marvel-style epic? It's a CRAZY movie, really surreal and quirky, lots of long, slow scenes of people talking, no big showdown burning down the city but I still enjoyed it and found it, at worse, maybe a 7/10 movie vs the 1/10 most Reddit bros were giving it.

Only thing I strongly disliked was Bruce Willis's performance cuz holy hell, he has gotten so fucking lazy as an actor.

Yeah I agree, I’d give it a 6 or a 7 but it’s not terrible at all

Me too, he was pretty much the only reason why I stuck around with Animal Kingdom for so long even though he wasn’t there all the time lol

Glass is so good. the movie that turned me around on m. night after 15 years of being a HATER

I think people were angry about certain "twists" at the end, specifically [Spoiler (click to open)]our 3 mains dying and especially David's death not being some huge heroic sacrifice or anything. But IDK I liked it, I thought it was a good movie.

I also think part of the issue is that the meme of Shyamalan being a bad director is so prevalent, that people now can only swing between two extremes with his work. It's either shock and amazement and "wow, he's back to unbreakable/the sixth sense quality" or "ugh this is the worst movie ever". Nothing he does will be seen as mediocre, even if that's all it is.
