![]() ![]() The writers motivate Fetch by stealing what she wants (her brother), then they gate him behind a misogynistic kidnapper who spends the game goading Fetch from a cell phone like a drawling (literally) frat boy. Instead, First Light trots out another superhero potboiler that lets Fetch mostly off the hook. Telling her origin story in First Light was an opportunity to dig a little deeper in the dirt, a chance to give us a look inside the mind of someone broken and driven to butchery. ![]() When we meet Fetch midway through Second Son, she’s a demented killer reeling from the loss of her brother and reveling murderously in her godlike abilities. She was calamity reified, an ex-junkie prone to panic attacks and moments of homicidal insanity. He was a wannabe hooligan in a beanie, a sulking anti-hipster with authority issues. Fetch should have been a more interesting protagonist than Delsin from Second Son.
