the saga of shishupala and dantavakra is unintentionally funny to me. imagine being a colossal pain in the neck for your prabhu for two whole lifetimes only to have an anticlimactic end to your cameo appearance in the last one. you are not the main villains like you used to be in the previous yugas. you are not even the main villain's sidekicks. you are just two walking nuisances waiting for krishna to get mad and pack you off to vaikunth asap. you don't even wait for the actual shenanigans to begin before making your exit. subconciously, jaya and vijaya were probably like "nope we are not staying a minute longer. these cousins can kill each other or do kumbaya but it's none of our business. just give us our old job back. we've had our fair share of drama and action for three lifetimes."
