I'm going to start this off with a question, why does everyone dislike this season so much? I found it so enjoyable to watch and I actually liked it just as much as Season 1.
Yeah this season lacked the flare that season 1 had but that doesn't make it bad in the slightest. Its story was decent and was fun to follow. I love how they're slowly showing the early stages of the war that's begun between the New Gods and the Old Gods. Personally I feel like the New Gods are going to win this but who knows? Maybe Shadow Moon has something up his sleeve that'll bring the win for the Old Gods?
One of the moments that completely shocked me was when the New Gods decided to fight back and shot up the store and in doing so killed Zorya. That was such an upsetting death, seeing the pain in Mr. Wednesday's eyes whilst he watched her die was heartbreaking. The scene when Czernobog laid his curse was so powerful though, i had so many goosebumps whilst watching it. 10/10 for the emotion there.
A strong character in this season was Mad Sweeney. He was incredible in season 1 and he hit the ball out the park yet again in season 2. Every scene with him in it was absolutely brilliance. How someone can act so well is beyond me. It was so painful to watch him die by Shadow Moon though. It was understandable though, seeing as he no longer owed Mr. Wednesday a single thing and he wanted payback, its just a shame such a brilliant character had to die like that. What I do wonder though is if Gods can come back, can Mad Sweeney? Hopefully Season 3 answers that question. And hopefully if its a new actor he'll be able to be just as good as Pablo Schreiber was.
One of my favourite episodes has to be "House on the Rock". The scene where the Gods had their meeting together and you got to see all of them in their "true" forms was great. It wasn't too major of a scene but the character design and the effects then were incredible. I also really enjoyed how not everyone is siding with Mr. Wednesday and how Shadow Moon admitted he believes in Mr. Wednesday, it was such a powerful moment.
I don't have as much to write for this season due to it feeling much quicker than the first. It was extremely enjoyable to watch but there wasn't as many plot elements that I personally picked up on to write about. I'm extremely excited for Season 3, can't wait to see how they'll play out the war that's brewing, how Czernobog will act after the death of Zorya and whether or not someone will return as Mad Sweeney. Definitely glad I watched this.
