An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents

Very cute episode about superheroes with useless powers who take revenge on their parents who abandoned them. Very funny episode even if with a banal storyline.

Excellent episode about some unwanted kids with disappointing super powers that parents brought back to Vaught.

Hilarious, fast-paced, crazy and dark.

The animations might not be high quality, but it's a very entertaining episode.

Recommended.

This second episode of "Diabolical" was about as poor as the first one, with its middlin' story/plot of supe misfits and over-the-top cartoon violence. But Justin Roiland ("Morty") voiced a character so it wasn't a total waste.

It was a mediocre episode and really scraped the barrel with some jokes.

It also re-used alot of models from Rick And Morty.

It was a fun concept but didn't really stand out.

And i don't agree with having three good jokes makes this a 7.

You can't spoiler an episode with the payoff in the title. The journey is the point here. Whether you enjoy it is entirely down to your tolerance for graphic animated torture porn.

But given the oeuvre, why else would you be watching?

Let's be clear that this is essentially a very offbeat Rick and Morty episode in terms of writing, tone, animation, and voicing by Justin Roiland. There's more to it though, with a great supporting vocal cast, including Christian Slater who gives a better performance here than in the pedestrian Inside Job. The weak point is perhaps Asjha Cooper who is competent but not truly compelling. Another sad result of identity casting.

It's not complicated, it's not even hugely clever or inventive beyond the mostly useless teen supes, but it rocks along at a great pace and delivers on the premise.
