Slower Episode, He's Back
30 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Bit of a slower episode this one, and was a poorer in quality tbh. There is a heist that is in fact fun and not too serious. That's about it, the heist, stag hunt, flirty eyes with General Shadow. They could have given some answers among all this.

Is there a war between people going on? (with who?) How big is the country? If they are so needing soldiers (why, and for what) how can they just send randos off to search for magic deer.

Poor Directing: This kinda breaks a scenes: BF and Co. Are trudging slowly in a blizzard, one complains he thinks he lost a toe. Cover up your damn ears then, put your hoods on, bundle up. Fight scene, gun doesn't shoot, he drops it and runs up barehanded? (Use it as a club, maybe pull that knife out that you do later...)

Poor Acting / Writing: Big Ear-Dirty Face-Whiney Boy is back! I don't know if its his internal dialogue or just the way he's portrayed, but man I hate the boyfriend. Ever notice how the other soldiers are like 3x cleaner than he is? Man got his friends killed fake-chasing after a woman who is frankly better off without him. Actor mumbles his lines wike wis. "Itsda wun thwiing I can still give you" FFS man, everyone else is coherent. Besides the fact they look nothing alike, the child version of this character is acted out much better.
