4. Without the full arc of the storyline

it is difficult to see where Sorkin is taking the OWS story. It appears that with the depiction of Will's shortsightedness re: leaders in a movement, Sorkin is attempting to reveal how badly the MSM missed the whole point of the Occupy movement.

Again, we haven't seen how he intends to resolve this story, but Sorkin has often shown McAvoy as someone that reflects conventional wisdom who can come to regret his initial failings and striven to correct the damage done.
