Gaal is a TERRIBLE protagonist, she should have been shown only in flashbacks as salvor or others tried to follow her to detangle the mystery of the second foundation. 3 main threads: empire (shown in grand Tableau as ozymandias), the foundation, merrily marching through 1 crisis to the next, and salvor/other, warned by a brief scrap of seldon's holo to find Gaal and save the real plan, and you learn along the way that psychohistory is half illusion, with mysteries upon mysteries about the truth and real threats.
Not too different from now, but it's like alien, cut your main star out of the film, it makes them more powerful, with gaal around we're just confused especially since she seems so utterly irrational. The key is seldon and gaal are only seen as scraps of legends.
Bro I couldn't agree more.
Gaal is an alright character but bad in the role of protagonist.
