Delicious in Dungeon - Snacks/Sorbet

“Snacks/Sorbet” offers a different setup starting with an entirely different group of adventurers who get taking out by the very treasure they sought. Our party comes across their corpses and, after battling the living treasure, decides to make a meal out of the it which, while that sound painful to eat, apparently, like all of Senshi‘s (SungWon Cho) dishes, tastes delicious. Later, Senshi and Laios (Damien C. Haas) use home-made holy water, made in part from the treasure, to drive off ghosts attacking the party. The ghosts passing through the concoction has the odd effect to turn it into sorbet offering a pleasant dessert.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Prophecy Comes True

Percy Jackson and the Olympians concludes with an episode that offer short confrontations between Percy (Walker Scobell) and Ares (Adam Copeland) on Earth and Percy and Zeus (Lance Reddick) in Olympus before winding down the adventure with a whimper. We also get moments of Percy with his father and his resurrected mother. While his arc does gain him recognition in the magical community, and allow him to put skills to the test, things overall don’t change with the gods still meddling in the lives of mortals to their own ends and Percy leaving Camp Half-Blood and returning home until called upon for his next adventure. It’s an underwhelming finale for an underwhelming season. At least the show is consistent.

Delicious in Dungeon - Stewed Cabbage/Orcs

“Stewed Cabbage/Orcs” offers an explanation to where Senshi (SungWon Cho) acquires the vegetables he uses for so many of his recipes in an episode that also offers a nice teaching moment about living harmoniously in the natural world (even if that world is in a dungeon full of monsters). After harvesting his latest supply, the party runs into some of Senshi’s clients: a group of orcs on hard times. In this episode as well, we get a lesson about working together (even with people you might not immeadiately like) in order to produce positive results such as the feast even Marcille (Emily Rudd) can’t complain about.

Hazbin Hotel - Overture

What started out as an independent webcomic has now become a full-blown Amazon series. I had a very mixed reaction to the opening episode of the series that centers around Lucifer’s daughter Charlie (Erika Henningsen) and her plan to create a hotel within Hell to redeem sinners allowing them to eventually reach Heaven. I enjoy Charlie, and the look of the episode. The musical numbers were a bit more hit-and-miss for me (although the idea of singing about how glorious Hell is from a certain point of view is humorous).
