S4P2. About the returning antagonist.
!Does anyone else think Cryptor's cruelty was underplayed? In Rebooted/DotD he was every kind of bigot in the book, sexist, racist to the serpentine, ableist/disablist to Borg/Mindroid the whole nine yards, he was a menace and it was fun to watch, but this season he's more a generic 'hahaha fear me', it just dousn't make him the same kind of fun to hate he was before.!<
!He should be telling Sora her parents were right to disown her, calling Arin a defective wannabe ninja who can't pick a colour scheme, Frak that he should have wiped the serpentine out the first time, It just adds something extra to the conflict when a villain gets that kind of personal.!<
!We should have seen Cryptor and Pix fight, Pixal could use the screen time, and it's just weird that that happened off screen.!<
!Also I wish his motives were explained, I guess he was just reprogramed, but I wish there was more too it.!<
None of this makes the season bad, or him a bad villain this season, he did his job fine, but it was a huge surprise when he showed up again and I'm left a little let down by it.
