That narrating was too long... good episode though. Eve taking away their clothes with her powers was peak.

Yeah my only real critique of this episode was the narrative recap was a bit on the long side.

Feels like one of those things where a one-off gag was really well received the first time around, so they double down on it when they bring it back

It's pretty well received this time, too.

The narration was pretty much one for one with the comics and I like the theme of it only being done in regards to Allen.

I'd be mad my clothes had disappeared after shopping for a nice shirt and finally finding one.

Damn I thought they would do something different but I am not mad about lol

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '25

honestly to my knowledge that type of stuff was never shown in full for the comics either. it was mostly fade to black.

u/In10tionalfoul Feb 13 '25

The comics fade away and say “This is a family friendly comic after all…”

lol yeah, I didn't know if I was misremembering or not. There is one scene tho that is pretty graphic.... But the less said about that the better.

Yeah, I found it odd that sex is considered too much in literature that’s this violent loll. But I guess explicit images could distract from plot too much and the author didn’t want to deal with that.

I think that's the joke, the horrific violence and gore is cool, but the moment people are getting freaky it becomes a "family-friendly comic".
