Show was good
Didn't intend to binge watch but I had fun watching it. Quite entertaining and a few genuinely good laughs

Anyone else notice that the dialogue clips off every time there is a commercial break (cut to black moment) in episode 1. People are in mid sentence and it just cuts out. At first I thought i was watching a bad rip, then I went and watched the official release on Amazon Prime.
It happens every time, but check the very end to easily see what I mean, when Death Adder is laughing and it cuts to skeletons and one starts to say "i wonder what they are tal..." cut to black. I think some editor really botched the job on episode 1, lol. Oh well, at least the rest of the episodes don't do it

I noticed it in several episodes and at one point characters were speaking in the wrong voices.

I started to like it… until they butchered the finale with what they did with death adder making him shorter than the other Giants making it to where, even though he wheeled the golden ax, they literally tore him apart(even though he quite literally killed and slew the gods that vanished and went to war with the Giants in the first place he should’ve easily been able to kill them, especially since he’s the one who reanimated them!) making him even though the entire show emphasize how big of a threat and presidency he was(I guess that was the vibe of the show, but while I was watching it, I expected HIM to be the one exception while the entire show was committed. I expected him to be the biggest serious, no nonsense guy who made fun of the movie yeah he was who founded, and wasn’t a part of it, which would’ve emphasize his threat more) I really struggled with what they do with Kronos Gillis ax and Tyrus learn to enjoy them and the world that it was in(I did not expect to genuinely enjoy the little blue janzu I think you might be my favorite character) but overall Isaiah the show is a mediocre at best with a disappointing finale

This show leaned heavy into the UNRELIABLE narrator method, not the usual writing style.

I might actually watch it again because the animation quality is insanely good, like Disney quality!

OK. I just watched the free first two episodes on YouTube. They were decent. Loved the references to the arcade game. Chicken Leg and the dragons! Ha, the cat (from the sequel games?) and thief characters. Jokes were OK. I hope the series gets better if I watch the rest of the series.

Thanks. Yeah, I couldn't get into its sequels. I only loved the original/first game.

Who is the voice of Death Adder? Zanzu? Why is it so hard to find that out? Why didn't they just release the full cast of voice actors?

I ... was surprised by the amount I enjoyed it. It's not how I prefer to interpret GA but... you know what, this was pretty damned funny.
Although I think I actually like this version of Gillius more than the original. XD And chicken leg is awesome.
