TinTin, Antman, Attack the Block, The Boy Who Would Be King. Joe has sort of carved a niche for himself in the world of film, as someone who creates content for teenage children. I sorta wanted it to get nastier, if we're going to get nasty. Some of the best stuff in the show was the blood room, the monks, the bone glass. Either go darker, or have a bit more fun. Maybe because I haven't been a teenager for 10 years, but I wanted it to make a choice. Joe Cornish has done a good job as director, but the writing is so "adult bad, teenagers know everything" that I just can't get on board with it. I can't help but feel like it straddles the line a little too much. In the context of the world building, there's no better way of doing it. And it's exactly why this particular trope holds up pretty well, in this series. It's a deeply flawed system, but it's supposed to be flawed.
Adults are powerless, and are therefore a liability. Lockwood and Co catch a lot of flack for having no adult supervision, but in practice adult supervision doesn't do anything effective to resolve a haunting. The nature of the Problem doesn't really lend itself to it being something adults are able to tackle by themselves, which is precisely why they have to use kids, despite the risks. You've suggested sending adults in to sort things out would be the better system in this world, but Lockwood and Co have rejected that system for the precise reason that it doesn't work. After the events at Coombe Carey Hall, the agency have excellent reason not to trust them, which is why they start an independent investigation into the mirror. Generally speaking, what your referring to - sending adults to organise/fix things is DEPRACs role, the goverment department dedicated to handling the Problem. IIRC even then, it's only kids who can really sense how dangerous it is. In the books, at least, its unique - they're trying to figure out what it is, what it does and where it came from, as its unlike anything anyone has seen before. The bone mirror is a special case as its an artifact of significant power, and is nothing like a usual source. R/television's favorite shows of all time (2022 edition)
