I am a bit more open to the trope of the 'dumb protagonist' than some other readers. In emergencies ordinary people make mistakes, and lots of people make less-than-optimal decisions. The super-competent character who always knows what to do is, in the OA universe, likely to be a transapient or avatar of a god, but wouldn't be an easy character to identify with.
On the other hand the 'su trying to do his best' (or even the modo trying even harder and perhaps failing) is a more interesting character, to me at least.
