As usual there is a lot to praise about this episode. From the insane production quality to peak character dynamics between the groups. The way Stark helped Methode out of his negative thinking patterns by literally being a stand up guy and a good friend was my personal highlight!

The demons on the other hand were underwhelming. Revolte waited for the group to split up and did literally nothing with this advantage. He later proved to be deceptive so why not attack full force on the mages? I’m starting to think demons are not cut out to be good antagonists as they are simply too stupid to win. Also, and I know I could get some flak for this but that attack should’ve killed Methode and Stark right there and then. The fact that this risky move had no consequences is truly baffling. A fatal wound should at the very least leave a character unable to fight properly for another arc. This sets a bad precedent for future dangers our heroes will encounter because you can expect the plot armor to be miles thick and an overpowered cleric to jump into action just in time.

I hope this doesn’t sound too negative because I really like the show and the second season so far! I’m just wondering how I’m supposed to get invested in conflicts at this point.
