The Kingdoms of Ruin #03 — Poking the Demon Core
October 20th, 2023
Why do you not at least have 2FA for your doomsday device?
Impressions:
Right now, I'm enjoying this pretty much only because it's complete nonsense, but it's charging straight ahead with complete reckless abandon anyway. From the cackling lunatic protagonist swearing genocide to the big ol' superweapon victrola that gives everybody super-cancer, starting with the comic relief character who wants to screw her brother that they gave an oversized soldier costume to so she can pretend to be important. They put this super weapon that kills literally everybody not even behind lock and key. A log-in from a mid-rank imbecile and then a button, and everybody in the building immediately starts bleeding from every oriface. It's amazing they didn't have a demon core setup with nothing but a screwdriver keeping an atomic bomb from going off, but maybe that's too recent a meme.
Oh, and then the protagonist gets beheaded and it suddenly switches to that one girl who was a throwaway character to look shocked at the carnage last week being bullied for being scared and traumatized by her boyfriend being splattered in front of her. I don't even know what people expected from her. But now she's apparently the next damsel in distress since the whole beheading thing was a fakeout. Or maybe she'll just get unceremoniously jellified like the blushing girl. The possibilities here truly are limitless.

I have to admit I’m liking this show just for going so balls to the wall. Looking forward to all of the fake outs and bad decision making from the characters.
