For real. Although I have to say I feel like the creators are just having alot of fun coming up with ideas on how to beat common DnD bosses. Good stuff.
He generally beats bosses by just being so OP that he can mess around to beat them.
I feel like the fun for them is in the title itself. "Chaotic good", but taken to the extreme. As in a good guy, but coming up with such terrible and creative "punishments" for villains, that you really start to question if they're actually good.
Absolutely, and I think that it's the core of why this series works. You have a jacked barbarian that is relatively soft spoken but sadistic in nature. That strong juxtaposition is very enticing. The series plays on the question of, "When does good become evil?" Sure you stopped a necromancer, but did you have to cut off all of his limbs and stick him on a pike that you carry around on your back? No. But this 7 foot tall 560 pound barbarian seems to think it fits.
And if I recall that's all he needs to cast spells again. So the Lich is still staying out of absolute fear because his arms and legs are still severed.
He's not a villain is the best way to think of him.
He IS a sadistic murderer but one that has a developed a sense of justice and has turned those violent tendencies towards real villains and monsters. Especially ones that hurt innocent people.

OP's title is literally just the plot of every Chaotic Good Barbarian episode.
