Maomao was badass in this episode. She does stand up for what is right, and thanks to this she saves Lihua's life.
What an exceptional episode!
From the connection of all the elements of the previous season and its OVA to Rudeus' false reunion with his childhood friend. And once again, not only did Rudeus not recognize Sylphiette (Fitz), he mistook her for a man again!
I invite you to watch and listen to the ending (even if it, unfortunately, contains a small spoiler), the nostalgic love this ending tells brought a tear to my eyes!
I guess I'm the target audience for this movie because I think it was an absolute masterclass in producing an enjoyable action movie. Cinematography was great, the story was paced extremely well, and the casting of ALL roles was absolutely perfect.
Cruise, Pegg and Rhames were awesome as always, Whigham and Davis were great additions, but the power quartet of Ferguson, Atwell, Klementieff and Kirby, really went above and beyond in making this movie perfect. Not to mention the chilling confidence of Morales as Gabriel, who practically oozed tangible danger.
From the pre-opening credits scene to the final act, you will be on the edge of your seat - especially during any fight scene that involves Ferguson or Klementieff - and whilst there are moments that the tempo slows down to advance the story, it is always completely captivating.
The single, solitary, disappointment comes as the credits roll, and you remember you're going to have to wait until next year to see how it ends.
