Suicide Squad in Mystara #09 — Least Efficient Evil Overlord
August 8th, 2024
Read the list already.
Impressions:
Well, this episode took a turn right away. All the kingdom are actually part of some crazy undead cult with the grand plan of… *checks episode* mind controlling four dudes to overthrow the kingdom that she already controls. But she didn't count on the princess being a super duper Harley fan, dressing like her, and *checks episode again* hitting one of them with a bat. So, to recap. An evil wizard overthrew both kingdoms, mindcontrolled one of them to force them both to fight, constantly got pissed off about the side that she was personally controlling winning, and then, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, decided to reveal herself with her single underling and his four… four minions, and scream her grand plan from the parapets. Not sure why skeletons are vulnerable to being hit with sticks or gunfire either. …Okay. Sure. That's par for the course for this script to date.
Oh, but it gets stupider than that as all the DC baddies were also hanging out literally just off-screen to rush in to try to yell "Hey, remember me! I was an antagonist for approximately 25 seconds three episodes ago. Oh, crap. We need to wrap things up." And then then they're all defeated by a series of deus ex machinas, or in one case, simply wander away so that they can stumble on a 'cliffhanger' for Enchantress with her whole like fortyfive seconds of screen time. Which they make sure to loudly yell in hiding "This must be a super important plot point!" Subtle. I guess at least it's one of the few shows where the animation budget is holding up, even if the script is total crap.
