with complete sincerity the battle scene in episode 6 still gets my blood pumping on a second watch. it's hectic, exciting, and i genuinely enjoy how it subverted my expectations re: how kai would be in her first battle (i.e. i assumed based on her previous comments she would become sadistic and cruel but instead she got frightened and overwhelmed).
i am remembering how i watched the special features (which are cool as hell by the way) and saw so many comments about how excited everyone was to introduce, uh... atriox? like okay look i'm not trying to be some kind of halo boomer or a purist or anything but... atriox? really? that feels like making a batman movie and getting really excited about how you get to introduce fuckinnnnn... idk, lock-up or something.
