Ming fools the Eternals into thinking they were attacked by the Defenders. Now three giant robots are trying to kill them.
Kshin is doing some sort of training in the battle simulator room. But turns out it was a real training because the robot certainly is real. Also, Kshin kind of cheating since Zuffy was inside the robot. But the other young Defenders laugh about it. Not sure if this is for fun or a real training exercise. I guess if it was real, the adults would be present and Kshin would hopefully get lectured.
Flash tells them the space station is under attack which is weird. Attacks happened before and Dynak always sounded an alarm. This time, however, Flash had to come to the training room and get them personally. He doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.
Of course they took Kshin and Zuffy with them… :/
Rick complains that they’re being left out of the action. Jedda says Flash knows what he is doing and explains it further. Classic Kit Walker/Jedda Gordon moment right there.
Flash defeated one robot but Ming’s one step ahead. Reminds me of earlier episodes. By destroying one, the other robots get stronger.
We learn about the history of the Eternals.
Mandrake, Lothar and the Phantom are at the Magic Palace.
Apparently Mandrake is a club member here and they’re watching a show. Mandrake is quite arrogant and rude, yawning and saying he should teach his fellow club members new tricks.
I wish they had the Phantom wear a suit as well. He could still wear the mask and cover his head.
Is Kshin even wearing a seatbelt?
I mean, they do crash later on.
LJ makes it through ok but the robot takes everything with him. Hopefully, nobody was in there but there are lights in some windows!
After 9/11, this kinda feels… wrong. And afterwards, they all leave. They don’t take care of LJs crashed ship, nor of the people in that building. Let’s hope they went back later on once all robots were defeated.
That’s not helping at all. The Phantom didn’t even try to call for the power of ten tigers. But Mandrake really stands out in this episode, facing the robot head on, dishing out illusion after illusion while the others are quite helpless. In the end, Mandrake gives the illusion of freezing cold, so the robots adapts to the “weather” and overheats itself.
Two down, one to go. Unfortunately the other robot is now too strong!
The robot’s main target is to pick up a call from the Eternals and find them, so they trick him to go into the black hole were he can’t return from.
It’s quite cute to see Kshin holding Mandrake’s hand.Mandrake even says to the others, that if that doesn’t work, it was nice working together with them. (or something amongst those lines)
I don’t get why they took the risk though. If they weren’t sure if it would work or not, at least send the kids away and then distract the robot, not back yourself into a corner. I highly doubt the robot would want anything with Kshin, so at least he would be safe. We saw at the beginning to the episode that primarily, the adults were the target. But, of course it did all work out and Ming lost.
I did enjoy the episode, it was fast paced, had some nice moments and some action and everyone was involved. Mandrake stands out in particular, for everyone was like “Mandrake, get away from there” and he was like “no, that’s how we do it” and he did it and defeated the robot while the others were trying to push the giant thing around (The Phantom not even trying to summon his powers). If was a good plan of Ming’s but thankfully, it did not work. Kshin was in the episode, and the entire scene with him refeating robot added nothing and could have been cut, but other than being scared now and then he didn’t do much, so it was ok.
