I love this gay poo poo--even if it seems like it's only an isekai because that's the fashion. Still gay, still good.

I’m gonna have to hard disagree here. The pathos of Al’s remorseful turn felt completely unearned, I was rolling my eyes during his entire pity party. The only thing that salvaged the episode for me was Euphie slapping him. I feel like maybe if we were given 2-3 more episodes to see a kinder side of the brother it might have worked?

Consider in Last Airbender how they are setting up Zuko’s turn for two entire seasons before it happens, and we learn to really love Zuko even as a villain, so it feels cathartic when he finally has his redemption. In this we have 6 straight episodes of him being an rear end in a top hat with maybe 12 total minutes of screen time. There’s just not enough time to make him more than two dimensional so a turn like this falls completely flat.

Not trying to poo poo on this show for the folks who are enjoying it but oof.


Yeah, the turn in the last bit where everyone is so sad for Al is a bit jarring. I get the family being "Why did it have to come to this?" But like...Lainie. He tried and came very loving close to murdering you. Any normal person would be scared to be NEAR HIM and you're FLIRTING. Are you into getting your heart ripped out? Is that your fetish?
