So did they basically just put in a filler episode of everyone bagging on the lead and saying he'll fail?

Which we already had in the first episode.

The filler isn't even really giving us any information about the characters or the world we didn't already know!

Also, it's been three episodes and the "Nun summons a fist of water to punch the MC" gag isn't any funnier than it was the first time.

How much you wanna bet Asta enjoys it when she does that?

Okay, I think, I THINK, that Asta wants to become the Wizard King and marry the nun but is having difficulty because he can't use magic?

Am I in the right neighborhood? Because they've only said it every other line of dialogue.

Give me anything about this world that you didn't give me in the first episode show! Maybe Asta likes to collect stamps or something!

Just something that's lets me know this kid is an actual human being and not the platonic ideal of shonen protagonist tropes!

Might as well tell you Asta stops talking about being the Wizard King every other sentence after this episode. Next episode is also decently entertaining because it's actually following Manga material.

OKAY, PITCH IDEA

All these "I Wanna Be The X" stories are about working your way up from nothing to becoming the best dude at a thing through sheer hard work and determination, right? Why can't we have one where the dude is like "I'm gonna be King! I'm gonna work my way into elite society and marry a noble and poltic my way into becoming the King of them all!"

Like, I'm sure we had one like that already, but it still seems like untapped potential.

maybe they had to walk because our hero isn't magic and everyone else just flies so there's no bus to take

wait no they probably didn't have a reason and I've vastly overthought this
