They even say that the girl had to die for the sins of the group. Throughout the episode whenever they were accussing one of the group they were sure to show them wearing their crosses.
Sorry for the rant but it's just so noticeable I can't believe I never registered it before
2012 was the landmark year after that, anything written and produced by Hollywood is trash. Some stuff was too far along to change the story so there are a few good things in the year or two after but by 2015 everything was trash.
Before 2012 there was the usual "subverting expectations" which would often try to shock or surprise with who the bad guy was but that's just normal attempt to tell a tale. But 2012 it went into overdrive and became a mandate rather than a story telling option.
Exception: The Netflix Daredevil series was pretty good and that started in 2015, and even the worst parts (Electra) are high art compared to anything made more recently.
The Netflix Daredevil and Punisher series were better than anything Disney has done.
