A bit too goofy for my tastes, but there were some funny moments.

But wait....all-powerful Palutena can't defeat some carrots?

Nope, this honestly kinda bothered me. I get it's for comedy but I didn't find it particularly funny so this didn't help. Also, Carrotastophe was a thing said in this special & probably the funniest line. So punny, even more corny. That said, I didn't *hate* this, I still like Palutena (might even become my next avatar in her Smash carnation; it's either going to be her, Fox, Falco or Falcon) & Pit and I got some enjoyment seeing them interact. Probably would've liked this better if I played Uprising.

Medusa's Revenge was my favorite though out of these.

*Edit*
The individual specials would get . . .
Thanatos Rising ~ 5/10
Medusa's Revenge ~ 7/10
Palutena's Revolting Dinner (good pun, by the way) ~ 6/10

*Edit 2*
Having now played the first ten chapters of Uprising rather than just seeing/reading random clips from it like before, I don't feel like I appreciate these any more. I do prefer the humor in the game much more, though it's of similar variety (least compared to Thanatos Rising).
