It would have helped the film a lot to have had more motivation and characterisation for people like Ajedrez - as it is, she's just a cipher, and seems pretty random. It's difficult for an audience to engage in any way, positive or negative, with characters who only have a few brief scenes in which they recite the plot.

Fideo does seem to like killing himself in fics too, yeah XD I guess it fits, since he's killing himself the slow way in canon. I really don't envy Lorenzo the Fideo-babysitting job, can't blame El for bailing on that one....
