Starting point is 00:00:00 We are back with episode two. I'm not even going to do anything. We're going to jump right into it because I'm on a high and I cannot get down. I need to see what happens. Let's go. Here we go. Yeah, she's taking the rap for it. She has the little diamonds too?
Starting point is 00:00:21 He knows. Yep, he figured it out. She's Oh my god That's where they're going to That's what they're going to do to us That's where they're going to do it huh Really?
Starting point is 00:00:40 We were going to be fine No we weren't We weren't going to be fine The moment they robbed that place It wasn't going to be fine We could happen I was the only option they had Otherwise everybody was going to rise up
Starting point is 00:00:51 And it was going to result in like a massive loss of life Well, maybe it should have. You don't think it should. I think they need to fight. They're maintaining the status quo. That's why he's working with the enforcers. That's why he's got an end. It's like if they maintain the status quo,
Starting point is 00:01:07 then the Hornet's Nest doesn't get shaken too much. People don't stay afraid. So if they take her, though, what's going to happen to her? Is she going to convert? Is she going to change? I'm wondering if that's what happens. I am curious to see what happens to buy. I am seeing it.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Powder doesn't look anything like I think she does in the, intro too. So it looks like she gets older a little bit. So I'm wondering if we're going to have a time skip. What's going to happen with that? Clearly there's a lot that's going on. These last two episodes have been a lot of set up. Great setup. They continue to do exposition really, really, really well. And I love them waiting to introduce the storyline of Jace after in the second episode. Because then it doesn't get too muddled with too many characters. So we already have our other established cast. And now we've got like the B plot cast of Jace as well as the C plot with our villain. Oh. It's kind of fun seeing all. these like characters that I remember from the video games represented in yeah again hymerdinger is amazing I love him for hours and hours and hours um when I actually still played the game he was great but seeing him as a character in the show is delightful jace also super cool I'm looking forward to seeing him like grow into his character from the game I love powder like that powder she's precious just so sweet and I'm like I don't want her sister get taken I know I know oh my gosh but I mean I mean something
Starting point is 00:02:24 the has to happen. Yeah, right? It's gotta happen. We gotta have a plot. You know, everything can't just be happy and dandy after the first episode. I know, but, I struggle. I know. I struggle letting it be. I understand. I understand. Oh my God, this is so good, though. Like, the storytelling is just getting better, and I feel like it's so good that it, this felt like it was a blink of an eye. I know, I'm enjoying it. This is great. The soundtrack's on point. Again, I'm like going gaga over the animation. I mean, like, I can't talk about it every single episode. I feel like my eyes are so happy. With the animation, my eyes are like so happy right now. Yeah. Like, and I'm just like, wow. And every time the world ends, I'm like, you just want to go back in. I want to go back in. Yeah. Like, it's really good
Starting point is 00:03:07 at drawing you back in. Yeah. You're engaged. I'm feeling sucked it. Like, I'm like, it's so good. It's incredible. It continues to be awesome. I'm so excited for the storylines that are continuing. I'm curious what happens to Vi and like this, this character choice that she's made. You I know. I know. And then our new character. Jace. Jace.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Yo, I feel so bad for him. But I'm interested to see if this guy, the guy that just gave him his book back, the one with the crutch. Yeah. I'm wondering how that's going to play out. Pardon me once. I want him to be an authentic friend who is there for the right reasons, but I highly doubt it. Right. That is going to be my, I'm throwing that in the ring right now that I don't think he's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I want him to be. I want him to be only because I feel like he's giving hope. I feel like there's an option where he continues to steer Jace on the right path. Yeah. Where he like toes the line between, you know, going too far with his magic experimentation versus, like, actually creating something that's going to help people. Because, like, you know, you get somebody whose ambition or, like, soul focus is on revolutionizing something. Sometimes they can take that far too far. Or they're like, no, everybody else is stupid.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah, like maybe he'll be a really good mentor. Exactly. Or like, you know, at least at least. A touchstone of sanity. Our guy with the one eye, this guy I'm terrified of. He's such a great villain. I'm just so amped for the next episode. I am for the continued of the story.
Starting point is 00:04:35 You know, I'm so... I can't wait. I'm in. I'm fully in. I'm committed. I'm committed. Yeah, I'm committed. Done.
