    I think it was a mistake to make Ellery die in chapter 7. He was the main antagonist. He should have died at the very end of the story. Having him dead before the story finishes takes away the climax of the story and the fulfilling feeling of doing justice.

The earlier writers seemed have no problem retconning their own and others lore, maybe they should be writing for Disney or WB. Anyway your work is appreciated, cheers.

It's never addressed. Just because it's getting a live adaptation doesn't mean it's written well or any good. Sounds more like it was brownie points for the people who cry about inclusion and diversity. It's got Lyfield vibes introducing characters and plots just to never make another mention of them and leave plot lines hanging without ever going back to them or explaining what he's talking about. Please don't 🙏🏿 cover it JustSomeGuy has covered the whole series and points out how ridiculous it is.
