Screw it, change the name to Shapesmith's show now.

[u/[deleted] → u/mmcintoshmerc_88]

I hope they do something with Shapesmith. He's okay in small doses, but I don't really like the character yet. Plus it's hard to believe that the Guardians just took him in despite knowing nothing about him.

I get that he's comic relief right now, but comic relief should still be consistent with the logic of the show. For example, the magic dog gag was excellent because it was silly and made sense in the context of the show.

Yeah this seems super weird to me. Can any random guy with super powers just join up? No thorough background checks or anything required? I thought Cecile was more careful than that.

[u/Wraithfighter → u/LMkingly]

My guess is that he's being watched VERY carefully, and when you're dealing with a literal shapeshifter who hasn't exactly done anything wrong beyond lying about their background, keeping them close at hand and in the dark might well be the smart play.
