I suppose my biggest misgiving is the potential lack of any provocative characters. Zamasu and Black helped breathe some much needed life into a story that was otherwise devolving into a stale state of affairs with adynamic characters frozen in time with no meaningful or engaging developments brought forth to shake things up. Where can they go from here that doesn't feel repetitive or retrogressive in the personalities and set-up of the conflict?

Zamasu and Black helped breathe some much needed life into a story that had become stale and repetitive, with 2-dimensional characters who never changed, and were never going to develop. Where can they go from here that will not either recycle a previous storyline, or undo any character development our heroes have already had?
