It never ceases to seem curious to me that after three seasons a series that few bet on continues to be so high. Mythic Quest Not only does it continue to offer us the most acidic and realistic face of the video game industry, but it has taken the pulse of knowing how to recognize and mock everything we love and hate about it.
With a third season that knows how to maintain the level, the series of Apple y Ubisoft Created by Ashley Burch, it shows that, despite the little noise it continues to make, it is one of the best productions of this style currently on our screens. The perfect dose of humor and brilliant moments related to the world of video games that we had always wanted.
Approaching the drama of Mythic Quest
Although it is true that other series like Big Bang Theory
The story of Poppy, Ian and David has long ceased to be that of a leading trio destined to transfer the world of video game production, programming and design in a comedy key. In this season, more and more, it is a choral series in which the secondary ones have more and more weight to influence the rest of the departments of a development studio.
It is surreal that problems like those dotted with Ubisoft Based on the lack of focus on its developments, the approach to the absurd fever of NFTs, the lack of hand when it comes to bringing the games closer to Hollywood, and those related to the inclusion of minorities within their studies, serve here as excuse to make fun of how the industry has turned against them time and time again.
With the perfect dose of irony and denunciation, Mythic Quest It continues to develop characters that, without finishing turning the story that has brought us to this point, is twisted enough to take them one step further.
I didn’t expect to end any of the chapters with a bad body and, nevertheless, there is a moment towards the end capable of showing that Ian and Poppy, Rob McElhenney and Charlotte Nicdao, are there for more than just making us smile from time to time.
Mythic Quest is still an essential series
With the sudden disappearance of one of its main secondary characters, the third season Mythic Quest take the opportunity to lift up other secondary players such as Carol, Brad and Jo, without a doubt the best that the plot has given us. The last one, with Jessie Ennis reprising the role of her endearing villain, is again by far the best of a series that continues to get the most out of each of her personalities.
It may be David, the producer of the MMO Mythic Questthe one that lags the furthest behind of all, but it is still interesting to see how he continues to crash against the reality of being completely useless trying to reflect that he is in control of something that, as almost always in real life, could well continue to function without an egotistical boss at the helm.
Retaking the tradition of offering us a special chapter intended to tell us a parallel story from another era, this time it takes the childhood of Ian and Poppy to show us how they came to be who they are with another fantastic episode of origins.
She still hasn’t reinvented the wheel and feels comfortable in that role, but aware of the extent to which she appealed to a very specific niche of the public, and knowing up close what keys she should play to show that she knows what she’s talking about, Mythic Quest closes its third season by reminding us that it is a series that any fan of the world of videogames and development should have on their radar.
