I'll be watching it this weekend with the friend that I always watch overlord with.

Anyone had a chance to sit down and see it yet?

Wasn't worth going to movie theater for it.
Not movie quality, even worse than previous seasons i'd say.

Oh no...

I saw it in theaters. It feels... mean. I know we're well into the "evil" arc of Overlord so its well into "evil Overlord conquers the world" kinda thing.

There is still a lot of good Overlord humor and laughs though. So the occasional "comic relief" to the rather heavy tragedies that Ains is now inflicting upon this country. But as the acts get "more evil", its harder to laugh at the comedy IMO.

Ultimately, it feels like a sidequest. I can see why this was cut out of the season and into its own movie. It feels like an OVA. Yes, they finally "called in" that Jaldabaoth card that's been sitting around since S2. So its good to see how that particular story is finally completed and how Ains (or really Demiurge) decides to use that card. But its a new country not covered before and doesn't seem like anything they were building towards in the great scheme of things.

I felt this movie should have been the b-plot in a season arc. I think the last season would have been the better movie.

Just watched it. Good amount of 'oh damn that's fucked up'.

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

‘oh damn that’s fucked up'

Now brought to you by RUNE MAGIC (tm). Get your RUNE MAGIC here. Don't just get fucked up, fuck up others with RUNES.

I keep trying to get into it and bouncing off the fact that it's a game world.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I much prefer a Freiren stype fantasy world, but there is some interesting lore regarding the main characters guild mates and it does play into the plot.

I do enjoy the idea that a max level diablo guild was transported to a low level final fantasy world.

Overlord is late stage storytelling. The author is calling in hooks and writing the actual ending... Which is always a difficult task.

Most stories / shows get dramatically less interesting as hooks and plot points diminish. But it's how you reach an ending. It's rare for endings to feel satisfying in any media especially if it's taken years or decades+ to build up.

Frieren is still early. I'm not personally very impressed by its lore yet.
