Conversely, I don't understand those who feel the need to point out that it was very straightforward, implying that those who did find it confusing perhaps weren't as intellectually capable of following the fast-action plot. It's like saying you don't understand why some people don't understand an equation just taught to them, or why someone didn't walk away fully understanding OOP after you just told it to them in the most direct way possible. This sort of plot was something most viewers likely had never experienced, so it is perfectly understandable, to me, how someone could've had difficulties following. Apologies for the rant; I've just seen your sentiment shared here and on other similar forums, delivered in such condescending ways so as to somehow invalidate whatever entertainment any 'lay' person might've gained.
