A OK episode overall. But the one thing that I REALLY didn't like was that DeVoe turned out to be the "villain is actually trying to do the right thing" archetype and this archetype is getting really cliche and it's ultimately ineffective with delivering the point across. Especially when we got Hive, Zamasu, Ultron-Sigma, a certain Marvel villain, Kilmonger, I mean we get it guys our world currently sucks right now! Next thing you know, technology is going to take away everything that makes us human and we're probably going to be those fat guys from WALL-E. If you guys want to do a "we should probably do something about it" type of deal, then show that through the hero! The villain is always made to be unrelatable and you are supposed to disagree with him. That's what I don't like about villains like DeVoe yeah they bring up controversy and make them somewhat intresting by adding a layer to their personality but ultimately mean nothing because we all root for the hero to kick his butt in the end and their ideas degrade over time making us kinda discouraged to make a difference. We need to go back to the villain who's money hungry and takes advantage of people in the sickest of ways which would represent the governemnt right now and that way people will know about how disgusting the governemnt really is and be more encouraged to make a difference. Not this dumb, convoluted villain archetype.
