It’s not the end of the world, but the Nolan reintroduction feels disappointingly quick. It’s been a while since I read the comic, but in it the fight happens in issue 12 and Thraxa in issue 25. I understand that things have been shifted around, but it really would have felt more rewarding to go a whole season without him.
I think it happens at the right time, like u said traxa happens issue 25 I think we will be at issue 50 by the end of the season, they also can fit a lot into 5 episodes. If feels kinda weird but there was also a 3 month junp between episode 2 and 3.
