I agree. I think What it feels like does show great improvement in his writing because it feels like he learned from the mistakes here. Mylo actually is allowed to feel validated and isn't vilified, side characters feel more utilized, and the conflicts aren't one sided. Plus Baxter is amazing. I wish he could've confronted Marcus about David and made him realize how unfair it was to be so hard on Callum. He was the only person who was understanding of his situation apart from Troy, but he didn't get to do anything sadly.
Also I do understand why the whole standoff thing would be cliched and potentially long drawn, but i think something could've been worked out. It just I'm someone who like to make sure all plot threads are tied up. But i get your concern.
I hope one day we see a remaster because I'd love to see how he improves things. Thanks for the reply
