The Quest: A Missão

I was surprised. Started of rocky but ended up bringing the whole thing in 1 day.

Yes it is cheesy but it is a teen show with teen doing challenges, you can't make it like survivor level hard.

If you like fantasy and always wanted to be immersed in a fantasy world, you'll enjoy it.

I'd pay to be able to through an adult version of this ❤

In the history of mankind there have been several epic falls from grace: Lucifer's Fall, Highlander 2, Lost Boys 2 & 3. Eclipsing even the Morning Star, burned into humanities psyche is The Quest 2022.

As all of you most certainly know The Quest 2014 was an amazing fantasy competition that combined LARPing with reality TV. The 2022 Disney+ reboot was as tragic as the Two Corey's last film Lost Boys: The Thirst and a non-sequitur on par with Highlander 2.

A few details: Changing the show from a LARP competition among Survioresque candidates, to entitled young adults spouting aphorisms. The challenges that once were actually challenging and interesting, became trivial and even worse entirely faked. Character development (good or bad, influenced or not) which is a backbone of competition and reality stories was replaced by middle school acting with a bad script.

In short, I've seen it and I curse my eyes. Don't follow my path.

A few people don't remember that this is not a new show. The Original concept for the show came out back in 2014 on ABC.

Then it was 12 people with the contestants aging from 19 to 40.

Low budget where all the money went into costumes.

Acting is really awful, specially the teen heroes. Excuse me, Paladins. They are unproven yet.

As others said, I haver seen high school plays that were much much better.

Plot is thin as the hope of a snowball in hell.

There is almost no world building. We know nothing about the 8 teens that were summoned to boring world. At the end of episode 1 we still do not anything. There is no character building.

And it is boring. Eye glazing boring.

I am a geek who love all things fantasy. This ain't it.

The bad reviews are likely grown adults. I could see this as a positive show for young children. Not scary, positive messaging (team work, wisdom, perseverance). Lots of fun makeup and corny characters.
