That’s a shame. His set ups are amazing and then he seems to get bored…
I don't think it's so much "bored" as "doesn't know how to land the plane he's hurled into the air". Which is a weak critique, I suppose -- it's only because his imagination is so awesome, and his setups are so awesome, that his endings are so weak. But still.
