>SUDDENLY i'll recruit you into my team EVENTHOUGH we are at war and you are the enemy, as a """"Prisoner"""" and give you 3000 troops to lead for your own "reasons". Recall that the Laird has significant freedoms (in this show, unlike in real life, this even seems to extend to "starting wars with other Lairds under the same King"). Cat-tats isn't at war with sex-hair or his fiefdom, she's defending herself from sex-hair's kingdom. He's only there because (like all the other Lairds) he got mustered by the king.
Cat-tats doesn't work for him for REASONS, she works for him because in exchange he's going to give her his whole entire fiefdom. That's huge. Like absolutely massive. It's not something she could just swan in and take it, because:
- she's not the king, and she can't command an army, only her garrison
- if she invaded the neighbouring kingdom with her garrison, she'd be facing her neighbours' entire army
This all makes sense if you already know about Feudalism (and especially historical-fiction Feudalism, like on Game of Thrones), but Vanadis just assumes you already know and doesn't mention any of this.
> and there's these "suddenly" bullshit moments where the hero just goes OP for no reason, it's like SUDDENLY his bow can talk and blast the shit out of the escaping enemy, SUDDENLY this sword can slay dragons "Long Ranged" with magicTo be fair to it, it's made pretty clear in the first episode that magical weapons exist, and seem to be in the control of the noble classes, so it seemed pretty obvious to me that the big ornate daedric bow that was handed down from his father (the previous Laird) and came with dire warnings not to use frivolously would probably turn out to be one too.
