I don't want to be a debbie downer on this since i'm sure people are enjoying this storyline, but to me, it's feeling like a much less interesting version of Reflections. Reflections had so many little details and easterggs that made the alternate universe feel like it had its own history and culture, like statues and depictions of its heroes, lots of signs and writings on walls that implied events and controversies in the past and occasional character cameos to show just how different the world was.

This series just seems to be throwing in easter eggs without any real foresight. Deceased characters like Cleopatrot just walking around like nothing, Gloria Daisy and Wallflower Blush being put in the same boat as villains like Chrysalis and Tirek, etc. This new world just doesn't feel natural or organic, with no sense of unique history or culture and the visuals are repetitive. I guess most of my complaints go back to the fact that I just don't think Tony was a good artist for a storyline like this. He's really good at drawing a few characters at a time, but his backgrounds rarely impress me.

The Great and Powerful Twily is pretty great, though.
