Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata, Part B

I am contininuing on with my bullet-point format, as it is very helpful in organizing my thoughts. These are the notes for Part B.

I really like the magic that is in this part.
This is unrelated to the actual story, but I like the music that they put in the video. It really helped add to the overall mystery and theme of the story.
I thought it was interesting how Kunti blindfolded her son because she couldn't see.
The gods are very present in this section, and I feel like they come into the story with the humans a lot more than the gods in other stories.
It was so sad whenever Kunti had to get rid of her son, as a mother's love is so very special.
I like how Surya directly gave Kunti the son.
Pandu's curse was very strange to me and I'm not sure if I really liked that part of the story, but I liked that she told him she was able to call upon the Gods for children. I did feel like she took advantage of this, but it was interesting that this was like Percy Jackson, where all of the children are from the gods.
I thought it was kind of gross how Gandhari just gave birth to a lump of flesh, and they just turned into 100 sons, but at least they became happy.
I thought the storyline with Bheem was very interesting, and I felt bad that they just pushed him into the river. After that, they showed the serpent kingdom. I think a different kingdom like this would be interesting to incorporate into future stories.
I really enjoyed the character Drona. I feel like all the stories need a character that is sort of like the moral compass.
