Disenchantment, Netflix's new animated show from Matt Groening

I wonder exactly what kind of magic she has, better not be too OP.

It's either going to be completely overpowered or completely underpowered. There's no room for any middle ground here. We're talking either "remake the world at my whim" or "on occasion, get flowers to bloom."

Either way, Bean will find a way to use it to get alcohol.

I expect underpowered. Bean's ambitionless enough that there's more comedic potential if she has a superpower that sucks than one that rocks. Especially if she has a superpower that's super-shitty but she's 100% thrilled about it and thinks it's the best magic ever.

They also might go for the idea that she's has enormous potential, but then figures out how to use magic to turn any liquid into beer and totally stops any form of training because its hard.

That'd be funnier. She has all the potential... but just wants a cold beer.

So I finally watched it all the way through - overall I found it a little hit or miss, but with potential, and the sudden shift into an actual ongoing plot with the last few episodes effectively hooked me in to looking forward to season 2.

I do almost wonder if Elfo's really going to stay Killed Off for Real - his is the only death the series has taken entirely seriously, but on the other hand the thing with him not being fully elf still needs to be resolved and, yeah, they could just resurrect him with a full-elf's blood if they manage to get it (the elf kingdom is probably going to be even more cut off to outsiders than it was in the first place in light of this season's events).

The way his corpse was dumped in the ocean seems like it's meant to take elf blood off the table. Can't revive him without a body.

I'm leaning towards his other half being some aquatic creature. Mermaid, perhaps. And the prolonged exposure to water will somehow revive him or bring him to his people who can revive him.

I think, at this point, it's more likely that he'll miraculously be alive and with a story to tell next time we see him than it is for Bea to deliberately bring him back.

Elfo being permanently dead means even they didn't like the character,and the reaction I've seen favours Bean and her demon over him anyway

Elfo is not going to stay dead permanently, because 1) He's one of the main characters, and 2) The Elixir of Life is a convenient plot device that can easily reverse death. I'm betting that Elfo's resurrection will happen within the first few episodes of Season 2.

I still hope they expand on Derek and Oona more, because I wonder what role they will play since Dagmar was revealed to be evil.

I wonder if by the next season, they'll start putting in celebrity guest stars on this show, considering they were a prominent feature of Futurama and The Simpsons. Though of course, given that this show is set in a made-up world, they wouldn't be playing themselves, but instead they would just be voicing other characters.

Too expensive for their show in all probability

Perhaps they'll have at least a few well-known actors every season? And like I said, they would most likely just voice some minor characters, rather than shoehorn them in just because they're famous.

I wonder what fantasy tropes they're planning to parody next in Season 2 and beyond. I'm surprised that we haven't even seen any dragons yet. What else should probably appear in Disenchantment's fantasy world?

I hope the show grows more of a beard next season, because the last three episodes just seem to be pointing to something really grand.

I'm now watching this for the second time through. It's really pretty good (especially like the Hansel & Gretel episode and the last three episodes), and am looking forward to seeing what the next season has in store.

Really like Luci, also Bean seems like someone I'd like to hang out with.

I like all three of the core characters. Bean is a fun protagonist while Elfo and Luci are consistently amusing.

I'm personally betting it's something like a goblin. I always thought Elfo looked goblin-y.

So I watched this show and think it's good. Not great, but good, and the last few episodes were promising.

A lot of unanswered questions, and I understand that's intentional, but some of the unanswered questions seemed brought up in a weird way, I feel. Not really sure how to describe it yet.

And I'd also like more with Oona and Derek, them, especially the latter, basically being scenery felt very strange.

Apparently the series has been renewed until 2021 with new episodes every year.

Just finished the first season.

And hoo boy, I am thoroughly underwhelmed. Perhaps because of binge watching Rick and Morty I did right before watching this one, all the dark humor felt actually rather lukewarm. This show has nothing too funny, nothing too shocking, and all in all unmemorable for me.

Two and a half out of four stars, I might recommend this to some, but I personally won't bother with the second one as of now.

Honestly I would mind a twist where Oona ended up being a decent person.

Shrek does medieval fantasy jokes better. Not impressed.

I would like to see an actual Dragon in season 2, that would be so epic. Plus no Medieval Fantasy is complete without the standard dragon! It would be funny to see the Dragon character subvert all of the known qualities of mythological dragons (not wise, dislikes gold, doesn't sleep in a cave, breathes shards of ice)

Plus, when I first heard of Elfo being an elf, my mind immediately thought of the Tolkien styled elf and I thought that Elfo would be like that

Y'know, the fact that Elfo is only half-elf kinda justifies his weird-ass name. Most of the elves have names that embody certain traits of theirs like Shocko or Returno. But Elfo is. Well. Elfo. It's so generic.

But that's exactly the kind of name you'd give your child if you were hiding something in a comedic cartoon fashion. "What's that you have there?" "It's. Uh. An. Elf. Yes. An elf and NOTHING ELSE." "What's his name?" "Elfo. Elfo the Elf. STOP ASKING QUESTIONS."

I'm still betting that Elfo is either half goblin or half troll.
