Each useful turn affects both the immediate danger and our understanding of the people facing it.
Character work gives All New Official Handbook of the Marvel (2007) 2 its most durable appeal. Agents of Atlas and Panther God approach discovery from different positions, creating friction without making either response feel purely mechanical.

The script keeps returning to choices and consequences instead of allowing explanation to replace drama.
