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
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.
There is a scene in a flashback where a child is implied to have been beaten with a belt. The belt and the abuser are shown but the scene is cut off before anything is directly shown.
Episode 5 - **SPOILERS** Marc’s mother blames him for the death of his brother and not emotionally becomes distant and cold but we find out she would beat him with a belt
episode 4 : immediately after the "Marvel Studios" logo intro, a scarab is briefly shown in the desert, then it flies away. also a fly lands on Marc's hand about 42 minutes into the episode, only shown in medium shot, not close-up.
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.
episode 4 is technically safe but (SPOILERS!) when the monster is taking out someone’s organs, layla and steven make noises similar to gagging. when steven opens the coffin, he makes the same noises
Episode 4 you can hear the audio of blood/guts with complete silence in the background. I recommend to mute once you see a scary figure appear, since the noise happens afterwards. Hope this helps!
The main character has Dissociative Identity Disorder and was previously hired as a mercenary. They are currently fighting villains, and protecting people.
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.
SPOILER in episode 5, we see Marc meeting Khonshu for the first time. He holds a gun up to his chin and is going to pull the trigger when Khonshu stops him.
Steven is in a near constant state of distress. In episode two he explicitly says he’s having a panic attack. Episode 5 has both Steven and Marc very distressed through out the whole episode; no explicit panic attacks, but lots of heavy breathing and worrying
