Delicious in Dungeon – Kelpie/Porridge/Broiled with Sauce

Alan Rapp / February 26, 2024 / Television Reviews

Title: Delicious in Dungeon – Kelpie/Porridge/Broiled with Sauce
wiki: link

As the adventurers travel down another level in the dungeon we get an episode that brings back the other party seen in a previous episode, who they come across as dead again. Events here seemingly set up a misunderstanding and likely eventual confrontation between the two groups at some point later in the series. The episode also brings back Senshi‘s (SungWon Cho) distrust of magic which he will overcome and a slight change to his concept of the balanced ecosystem within the dungeon.

Spider-Man – Return of the Spider Slayer

Title: Spider-Man – Return of the Spider Slayer
wiki: link

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s. The show wastes no time in bringing back the Spider Slayers. In an obvious attempt to create (pretty crappy) toys to sell, “Return of the Spider-Slayers” gives us not one, not two, but three different Spider Slayers with the new ones apparently designed off the shittiest run of Transformers ever (they even combine together to… well, do nothing really except make them infinitely easier to beat when stacked on top of each other – even though the bomb’s explosion doesn’t appear to touch the bottom Slayer). In every way, the Slayers are even less impressive a second time around.
