technically not a dog, but a creature (a jackal) that sounds dog-like dies at the end of the first episode, it rlly doesn’t look like a dog but it’s the sounds that bothered me most. there’s no place to put stuff related specifically to snarling etc. but there are dog whining sounds and snarling at the end of the first episode starting at 37:00 and increasing/worsening for the length of the remaining 4 minutes of the episode. ——— second episode immediately opens with intense animal shrieking/snarling which is jarring and intense but brief ——— another jackal shows up around 35:00 in episode two just after the purple portal is opened. it’s later shown dead on a spike, for two full shots, not super close up, but the silhouette is rather disturbing

If you count Marc or Jake as “evil counterparts” then yes since his DID is directly caused by the abuse they faced but they seem more morally gray than evil or abusive from what I recall

In the beginning of episode 2 (minor spoilers) Steven checks security footage with the security guard. The monster from episode 1 doesn’t show on the tapes, and the guard acts like he’s being crazy. The scene feels like a sort of gaslighting, even if it’s not the traditional type.

At the end of the elevator scene in episode 1, Steven turns around and suddenly sees the skull. That got me. In episode 2 there’s a sudden loud noise, which happens multiple times (a light turning on) after the man at the storage facility says “I never forget a face.” First one startled me, the others were unsettling. After Steven leaves the storage unit, there’s an unsettling scene involving the figure with the skull, involving flashing lights and him appearing and moving forward suddenly. Later when Steven’s in the car, after the other two leave and the camera goes to Steven, a ball suddenly bounces off the window.

The main character is not possessed – they have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and so far has alters: Marc, Steven and Jake. Episode 3 shows that the gods can “possess” their avatars for a few minutes to speak through them.

I would definitely say that it is a much better and more realistic portrayal of DID than a lot of other media, but it is also that. A portrayal, and a dramatized one at that.

(MAJOR SPOILERS)

In the last couple of episodes especially, the viewer, as well as the 2 main characters, are doubting what is real and what isn't. More specifically, the shots alternate between the afterlife, a psych hospital and memories from the characters lives. And it's unhinged in the way that one frantically goes from floor to floor, seeing different memories on each floor, and when said person tries to go into a room, he's all of a sudden on the road outside.
That episode (5) also tackles themes as "what if he's actually just insane and we've just been watching a mental trip for the past 4 episodes" and stuff like that.
Also throughout the whole show, a lot of stuff happens that aren't in any way logical, not even for a marvel show.

If this is a trigger for you, I'd probably stay clear of the whole thing, no matter how good it is.

There are mixed feelings about this, but I still wanted to share —

In episode 5, someone removes their kippah from their head and punches it a few times, then hugs it. This is done while crying/mourning.

Episode 5 has a great deal of blood and some pretty nasty bloodygashes on a character. Also in episode 5, there is a room full of decomposing corpses who become zombies later in the episode, but when the characters hit the zombies there is no gore - whatever body part they hit turns to sand. Earlier on in the same episode, the protagonists’ hearts are pulled out from their chests, but it’s done through magic and not gorey - the hearts aren’t realistic in color or texture
