天下制覇

  

Let’s hold up our swords and grunt. That’s what we do when we serve no purpose in the narrative anymore.

Impressions:

Pretty much the same song and dance as the last couple weeks. They blew their load way too early with revealing that the master plan was to unleash a really big monster (apparently the last few really big monsters weren’t really big enough), so the last boss is going to be either that or the big castle in the sky, except now it’s stuck trying to up the ante by having the protagonists struggle against… a frail old man and his one-legged sidekick. They weren’t exactly A-list bosses to begin with, and have only gotten more pathetic as things get dragged out. Meanwhile, German supposedly died off screen and is now part of the giant tetris sword shoved through the ‘ultimate’ demon’s chest, and is already pulling Obi Wan Kenobis while his woman is running around for him. Yeah, that’s convincing.

And of course, by struggle, I mean often just standing there and glowering, because Leon wasn’t exactly in a hurry to do much of anything. Well, nobody was really, lest we forget how Blondie doubled over in agony just from the reveal that the attendant was evil or how they all stood around watching said attendant masturbate in between declaring how much of a threat she apparently is. You’re not convincing anybody, guys. Which all makes the continued increased effort in animation and direction all the stranger. Where was this when they were fighting Guy Strapped to Wheel, Immobile Caterpillar, or Some Bear? Wait, I think I answered my own question.

More speeches about believing in yourself, no doubt.
