- I really like this method of learning the story. Having something to watch while hearing the story makes it a really fun experience
Episode 1:
- Slightly confused as to whether the couple was Kamsa's cousins and his sister intervened to stop him from killing them or if his sister was the one getting married.
- Kamsa definetely could have found a less cruel way to kill his cousins children than smashing them against the wall.
- The symbolism of the eighth child being the eighth reincarnation of Vishnu is interesting. I'm curious if eight is a symbolic number like 7 or 3 in Western traditions.
Episode 2:
- The scene where they escape because some supernatural force has cause the guard to fall asleep is slightly remniscent of a passage in the bible where an angel causes the guards to fall asleep.
- Vasudev strait up kidnapped a child to sacrifice to his brother/cousin? in law
Episode 3:
- Well I am glad that the little girl turned out to be a super powerful goddess but doesn't change the fact that Vasudev was totally willing for the random little girl to die.
Episode 4:
- Kamsa slaughtering a lot of children in a effort to stop his rival from growing up is also similar to biblical stories.
- Putana has possibly the worst murder plan ever. Even as a baby Krishna is a more effective killer.
- Also how did the mother or father not realize that their girl had been replaced with a boy.
Episode 5:
- I like that Krishna was a big prankster from the time that he was really little. He had all these holy men coming to see him when he was a baby and then decides to become a little punk and steal butter.
Episode 6:
- I think the emphasis on his adopted mother's role in Krishna's life is really interesting.
- Also I think the twist of having Yashoda see the universe when Krishna opened his mouth was really cool. I'm curious if that always happens or just sometimes.
Episode 7:
- I like the throwaway line about Krishna's attempt to learn music being more like a attempt to remember a long unused skill.
- I also think its interesting how chill the village people are with their potentially supernatural children.
Episode 8:
- Krishna remains a little punk. I like that even his mom is like "why does everyone put up with him?"
Episode 9:
- So was Krishna purposefully making Indra mad so he could show off? Or was it a coincidence?
- I think it is interesting that so far Krishna has failed at nothing. I'm curious whether he will mess up later in the story.
Episode 10:
- This love story is very strange but somehow very sweet.
