Thanks for sharing this video!
I think they are promoting the action stuff because they think that will hook a particular fanbase of this genre. But I’m with you; none of it means anything if you don’t care for the characters (on account of poor character development).
Based off the teaser and trailer, there is not a character that especially stands out to me, but then again I felt the same way about AoS. Then episode 1X06 happened!
