Brutally slow and plodding...it creeps along at a snail's pace...the forces of evil continuously dominate...grinding their sadistic boots on our feckless heroes necks...who, for their part behave in every way as if they'd rather be defeated...but, of course, we know, despite their every effort to fail, they will triumph in the end...and, all along the way, it's impossible to muster even the slightest bit of concern for their fates...
