Of not even enough people to play a game of kickball.
Impressions:
Boringly dumb. Over the top in all the wrong ways. Terra-whatever-her-name-is destroys the magic gem, and literally within minutes, the entire world has declared war, including every wild monster in the world is all bearing down and only the protagonist with her protagonist powers can do anything about it. No, you can’t see it. Wait, yes, you can. Here’s a still, of about 15 random dudes. Walking down a forest path. This is the unstoppable army that spells our doom. A baseball team with ptichforks. If only we had a magic gem holding them back.
The rest of the episode was even more tedious, as it was primarily about that godawful child it was trying to hook up with a dude twice her age a couple episodes ago. She’s an unwilling traitor, and so she gets to have a parade of pretty boys visit her and announce to her the usual “As you know, your backstory is XYZ.” Which prompts flashbacks so that everybody who already knows this can relive it instead of moving on with the story. And when we do move on, it’s only so that Scarlet can wake up, punch someone, and declare that she’ll be deus ex machina-ing everything away. Next week. Because the pacing is also spiked through the skull and we won’t even be getting to see the crisis before it’s resolved via her glowing and believing in the power of friendship or whatever.
