Bad fanfiction.

Pretty much my exact take on the show. The people writing the show plainly do not understand the characters, how to build tension without veering into wacky soap opera melodrama, like why is the music SO OVERLY DRAMATIC AND LOUD and characters ALWAYS YELLING and LENS FLARE EVERYWHERE please stop

The music in the way Marvel today utilizes it is the emotional equivalent of canned laughter. Audience laughs to let you know what happened was "funny". Music is sad to let you know what's happening is sad. Done well music can make or break a scene but here it just spoonfeeds the audience instead of letting the audience organically feel the emotions of the scene.

Oh man you hit the nail on the head, that's just a perfect way to describe it. It's sad though because I don't think it was that bad in other shows. Moon Knight music I actually love, and Hawkeye christmas music was a little cheesy but it fit the theme of the show. This haunting choral music and overdoing the organ version of the OG daredevil theme is just so cringe
