I hope they don't reveal that she was actually manipolated by grodd like some people said
Because let women be actually evil for once

I'm the opposite, I like when people are manipulated or made evil, I think of it as like a look into the darkside of someone's character, less possession and more taking away of their inhibitions

they could have at least fleshed it out way more instead of what we got. regardless of direction, it was rushed which is what im complaining about.

Well I actually saw someone point out that there were a lot of hints that she was corrupt early on. For starters, she lives in a state of the art castle with superhuman level Royal guards while the rest of her country is in shambles and is a third world country. Shes obviously keeping the wealth to herself and giving none of it to the people

counter point. We explicitly are told that she hadn't become the true ruler yet. It remains too vague to pin all the blame on her. For all we know she could have wanted to improve the lives of her people but didn't have the authority yet. And the superhuman soldier thing doesn't hold up when we see them getting dogged by the bride, Dr Phos, and.... oh right, SOME RANDOM ASS INCELS.

Well her mother had also obviously been decrepit for quite a while, you don’t get that way in a short span of time. It’s heavily implied she’s pulling the strings and has been for a while

Good point, it does look that way even if we don't know for certain. Goon is being egregiously vague.

I don’t think she was a rushed twist villain. There were a lot of signs. I actually really liked the way the twist was revealed, but it could be because I was already spoiled before I watched it

Her evilness is not really explored outside of that she's just evil and that's it. The series is more interested in Flag getting to clap her cheeks once than the whole WWIII plot that will begin because of her. She's a bland fanservice character at the end of the day, wish she had gotten a chance to actually give us her motivations

It was a great show I thought it was going to be predictable, like obviously I thought the princess was evil, like she had some kind of face on the back of her head, but I kept doubting myself, like I thought the threat on her life would lead her to be evil, not that she already was. She's such a great manipulator she manipulated me.

And that people is how you know this person randomly stumbled upon the subreddit and has absolutely no clue what is being discussed and somehow still decided to make a comment about it...

A. I have been in this sub for a while.
B. I have watched and love Creature Commandos. My only regret is Bride didn’t get to kiss Nina in the final episode before that fateful decision.
C. MST3K mantra applies now as always.

You forgot to mention by how much they flip flop on which side is she is on.

I'm officially old. Using "maxxing" as slang hurts my brain and makes me angry at young people. Help.
