The Pandavas are so mighty, yet they make countless offers for peace. Their foe has been stubborn from the beginning, and I am not surprised that he wants to go to war. Duryodhana has never been an honorable man, and his plans to take Krishna captive while he is serving as an emissary should have been expected by the Pandavas. Unfortunately for Duryodhana, Krishna turns on god mode at the assembly and thwarts Duryodhana's plans.
I found the first part of the battle to be quite confusing. People are coming out of nowhere. This seems like a complicated way to bring about the death of Bhishma. I don't understand why Drona would listen to his enemies about the death of his son. I would think the supreme commander of an army would not let himself keep be affected by anything that comes out of his enemies mouth. Furthermore, he just gives up and sits down after they tell him his son is dead. I was very surprised by Bhima drinking the blood of Duryodhana's brother after he had killed him. Then the systematic elimination of Duryodhana's leadership continues with the death of Karna. I like how Duryodhana called out Krishna for all the deceit he used so far, but Krishna drops a karma bomb and tells him he had it coming.
