the season 2 premiere hinted she would play a big part, considering how big the reveal of her not being a ghost was, and the fact that her presence wards off a cosmic god, which is never explained how or why. yeah, it's stated it's a family responsibility, but i need more than that. but she never plays a major role for the rest of the season, she doesn't become an honorary member of the family, and we don't learn much about her aside from very brief mentions of bad parents and being on the run.

I'll explain. Varian seems to display a lot of sadistic tendencies, like saturday morning cartoon sadism then a boy who is trying to bring his father. Think about it, his cringy line to cassandra “i always knew i could sweep you off your FEET” to “he’s right, DAD” (which i like infinitely more, but my point still stands). It seems like the writers want to make sure we cannot sympathize with him, despite also depicting him wanting to get his father back. What especially stands out to me is when arianna asks varian what he will do after he frees his father. Instead of pausing, or ignoring her, he says that “corona will pay”. Um, what? Would his father even approve? His actions to free his father can be argued that he was backed into a corner and is desperate, but now he’s saying he actively wants to hurt everyone even after he gets what he wants?????????? How does that make sense????  

What i also realize is that varian’s villain screentime is a lot less gripping then it used to be. When the episodes first aired, i wasn’t sure what was gonna happen to him, and i rewatched his villain moments again and again wondering how he would be redeemed, which is another can of worms itself. But now that the show has ended, i look back and see missed potential to portray more of an inner struggle. He could have been depicted as having a bipolar disorder and depression, instead of a regular disney villain. The writers also ignore the implications that a CHILD was chased out of his own home and had to “lie low”.  

Qilby and shinonome are the only truly immortal ones, but why not have the entire council be both immortal and invincible? What do you think the reason might be?

that doesn't make any sense. the pacing of these manga are very slow. while not every volume needs to be bursting with major events and should also have character progressions, there are chapters that are dedicated to the most irrelavant things. like joris and his adventure with the orphans, or spending multiple chapters on a gobbowl game.

i feel like the events of volumes 1, 2 and 3 could be condensed into 2 volumes. volume 1 should have ended with grougalorasalar demanding the eliatrope dofus and the eliasphere and volume 2 should have began with yugo and amalia visiting joris and ended with julith stealing the eliasphere.

to this day i still don't understand why nimoda and yrehn were redesigned to look like children when in the story they are supposed to be adults. the elante looks a little bit too fancy, so that's one thing i'm glad they simplified. and karn's proportions could have been modified and he could have been made to look a little older, plus his shoulder pads could have been slimmed down, but i loved the design on his eyepatch as well as the highlights in his hair. plus, yrehn and the elante were supposed to FUSE????????WHY DIDN'T WE GET THAT????????
