If the previous episode of "Diabolical" was a true low point for the series, then this episode, whilst unmistakably better, is still a touch below what we've seen in some of the previous episodes.
Two Superheroes, Nubian Prince (Don Cheadle) and Nubia (Aisha Tyler) meet and fall in love whilst taking down fallen superhero Groundhawk (John DiMaggio). Several years later, with their marriage at the point of divorce, their daughter Maya (Somali Rose) tries to reunite the pair by convincing Groundhawk to come out of retirement, pretend to kidnap her and try to rekindle the old romance.
With a solid traditional art style and excellent vocal performances, again I'm afraid where this one fell down for me was with the story. The premise is fine but the story, particularly it's ending was a bit underwhelming. I also don't remember finding it particularly funny.
It's not a disaster but I can't imagine I'll ever chose to watch it again.
