Well to be honest calling Cath just "A cat" is objectively untrue. The thing ate an elite demon sorceress back when he was in his little round guy form.
I thought it would only be fair to point out stuff I got wrong. And to list a couple more positives. Because I really don’t like being too negative. When I say Hendrickson should revive Dreyfus’s brother I forgot the corpse had to be in good condition. And he was skewered to hell. Merlin vs Grayroad is a good example of a character beating another with a higher level in a good way. She has hundreds of abilities and knows which one is grayroad’s weakness. The general problems we had were with straight up brawls. When I say Lancelot sucks I’m referring to his love triangle specifically. Otherwise his character is fine. Triston is a pretty good character. I liked his arc in the movie about feeling embarrassed/ashamed of his demon half and how only his dad could calm him down. Which only furthered his embarrassment. Him befriending lancealot and getting a friend to calm him down is actually a good upside to Lamcealot being so comedically powerful. The manga continues this in a couple neat ways. Arthur being mind controlled doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. They can maybe pull something interesting like along with the power he also got the memories of past kings and now he represents human history itself or something. Also him calling his underlings the “4 evils” might be a religious reference like the Ten Commandments or seven deadly sins. (I’m a little iffy off a quick google search but it’s possible)
Wasn't the reanimation possible only on Helbram because he was a fairy and they don't rot when they die. A human will Immediatly get brain damage even a couple minutes after death because of the lack of oxygen and of course if they rot he would just reanimate a rotten corpse which would be way weaker than a fresh fairy corpse.
For all the complaining I’ve heard of “Clearly eight year old girl who claims to be a millennium old and it excuses sexualizing her” as if it was a standard anime trope this is one of the few times I can actually pick it out as a prominent canon idea. Wild
When talking about how weird it is that Elizabeth doesn't resist the groping it made me think of how in the super early parts of Umineko that exact point gets brought up. The main character does this thing early on (like, literally in the first hour or so and then it never comes up again) where he essentially wants to take on the role of the "pervert" character in the sense that he thinks it's funny to get punched in the face while he's trying to grab someone's boobs (preferably without actually touching them), but one character that he attempts this with, Shannon, doesn't resist at all and the only reason he doesn't end up grouping her is that someone else comes in and punches him, at which point he explains the whole bit and that it's very distressing that Shannon would just accept that kind of treatment and not fight back (at which point Shannon refers to herself as "furniture").
I honestly have no problem with Meliodus being a fuck up. It’s the fact that every one else is as well. It honestly cheapens everything. That and the fact he sort just kind of gives up trying to shield her from everything after Season 1. Season 1 Mel just feels way different to any other Season
