Plot
Percy takes a game of superheroes and villians too far.

This was a much better episode compare to the one that I'd reviewed yesterday but it feels a wee bit of a rehash of the episode 'Rules of the Game' from S1 and it just feels the same with Percy playing with Diesel and Kana but ending up with being broken or derailed. The only difference is Percy was emotional over being called a bad guy by his friends whereas Thomas in the former episode realised his mistakes and learns that not everyone can have the same fun as you. But it still has the usual AEG style of writing where the message is being told instead of shown because it doesn't trust its audience who would get the message during its runtime. Despite that, the episode was fine overall.
