A very Dugeon & Dragon-esk type of animation. The animation company is very well known and has good quality. I believe they are very similar in what was used to make _Gargoyles_ tv animated series. There is a character for each of the classes, and fortunately each character _is_ a character unto themselves. They are very different and fuse into what a good team of friends could be if they found themselves born to such a world. There is enough gore to go around, and the writers did well with the comedy and gore alike. The story for this title's pilot is a solid 8 out of 10. The rich kid's mission for revenge against a sinisterly evil and neigh OP bad guy is epically done well, and is NOT something that is expected coming out of a Netflix streaming show. Okay, enough about the pros. The Cons: And ofcourse when talking about **_anything_** from Netflix there are the **glaring** cancerous influences of social politics infesting the show. In most cases it's usually the narrative that is corrupted, but when that is not a possibility, SJWs settle for the background. There are different races in areas where there should be no variety in the people. There is the typical flamboyantly gay racial minority fat-guy who is a keystone in supplying or getting knowledge of important artifacts. >exasperated sigh< Ofcourse one of the young men in the main party has to flirt with the…

I'm at the end of Season 1. I'm intrigued enough to keep going but the series needs better writing. It's starts off well enough but it looses all stakes and tension. Long monologues, short one-liners, red herrings, escaping enemies, and one-two many near-death experiences. That last one really hurts the series cause you never feel like any of the main characters are in danger, even when they're bleeding out and near-death. Arcane (2021) was near perfection, Castlevania (2017) had some writing nonsense, Season 4 of The Dragon Prince (2018) killed the series for me and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022) is just trope-y garbage. Vox Machina (2022) sits somewhere between The Dragon Prince Season 3 and Edgerunners. -- I'm at the end of Season 2. It's more of the same. Grog's quest stands out this season but they've seriously gotta make up their minds about Pike's power level cause this thing about her constantly running out of juice whenever she needs to heal someone has gotten old. -- I can't remember Season 3, so, !@#$ Season 3? -- Season 4, Episode 1: 1. Did I miss something? Didn't we establish that the "panther" hunts by sound? Why does Vex cover herself in mud? Was it just for a "Oh, Predator!" callback? 2. Percy really likes that !@#$ing lamp, huh? Must be super rare! Super duper rare to risk getting sucked into a black ball for it. Ugh. Season 4, Episode 2: 1. Your ri…
