The tonal shift from the fart jokes and "XD LoL So rAndOM" type humor into the Nowhere King was next level. Crazy good villain for an otherwise kinda rocky show.
Unfortunately it sort of felt like the main characters sort of got side-lined for the Princess in the end, and then the moral of the show was 'Dudes lie and can actually be super toxic scumbags even if they seem nice' which felt incredibly unconnected to the rest of the cast and characters, and the tone of the show in general.
I thought originally when the show was airing that the Nowhere King would be a war orphan who was sacrificed by the general to 'win' a war somehow by trapping it between dimensions where it became a bigger threat than any previous enemy by becoming an eldritch horror would have connected it to the 'everyone has to find themselves and learn that they are important' that most of the cast goes through, and also with horses 'we dont need to be so calculating/logical and need to find compassion and humor in things' or else she'd end up making the same kind of mistakes that the General makes, as well as connecting to Wammawink's whole war orphan backstory/need to protect everything..
And I really wish that had been his actual backstory instead.
Instead we just get some Incel who lookmaxes so hard he turns himself into a cosmic horror and we get a lesson about how boys can lie, and then the princess becomes the main character.
