Mnx, thanks for the update.
The thing that's surprising is Tarakasura giving his sons not just the idea, but the edict to construct & live in Tripur. In the original, the 3 of them did ask not Mahadev, but Brahma for a boon about the 3 forts. In the ACK Tripura, they are shown as appealing to someone for protection after Kartikeya killed Tarakasura - I forget who. At any rate, Tarakasura had nothing to do w/ Tripur himself, unlike what they're showing. Just like he wasn't around when Sati was. Also, those 3 were not in a revenge mode, unlike other asuras who saw their relatives get killed or humbled - be it Hiranyakashyipu, Bali, Mahishi, Banasura among others.
But aside from that, they showed the Trupur conditions accurately - Maya danav did construct it, and he did bestow on it the condition that the only time it could be destroyed was if all 3 cities were in a linear path. Also, another thing - since those planets would be moving randomly, the probability of them being in a linear path would be just one in thousands of years, and that too for a split second - there was nothing there about them stopping movement. It's like when one plays one of those shoot 'em up games - if one's reaction times are quick enough, they get their target, but if they are too early or too late, they miss. That was the same challenge before Rudra when he went to destroy the 3 fortresses. Not only did Tarakasura have nothing to do w/ it, but had Rudra missed, those 3 forts would have again continued for another thousands of years.
Please let them not show Tripur being destroyed before Tarakasura is. It'll just make no sense.
The other parts - when they showed Parvati @ her maayka, couldn't they just show her happy and enjoying w/ them for a few days? Instead, having her cry all the time she was there was just stupid. And yeah, as someone else pointed out, Shiva & Parvati used to visit Himavan often - it's not like after Parvati got married, she never saw them again. Besides, even in this Triangular Films Purana, they could have shown Himavan inviting Mahadev & the Ganas over (since Swadha is gone, the Ganas should have no problems, and besides, Parvati seems to have refined them, so they could have shown their good behavior to a beaming Menavati. 😆 The separation track made no sense.
Parvati's dream seemed strange. Usually, we only dream about people or things that we've seen - how does a baby that Parvati has never had enter her dreams? 😕
Also, as is well known, Rati never cursed Parvati, but even allowing for that, when Shiva restored Kama to her, they could have shown her redacting that curse. Parvati doesn't have to be shown cursed in order to justify them showing Kartikeya & Ganesh being externally born. Just show it like it happened - no need to explain if the explanations ain't there - we'll trash it out here 😆
Also, how is now the time to show the Amarnath caves story? Didn't Mahadev give those sparks to Vayu & Agni, and they took it to Ganga, who took it to the Shravan forrest? Is that anywhere near Amarnath? B'cos if it ain't, how does Parvati surface there when the Kritikas get hold of her 6 babies?
Shruti, I was actually hoping that we'd see Parvati the peahen. But now, once Kartikeya is born, it would be ridiculous for them to show any more marriages of his parents - wouldn't he have to be there? So I think we are past any more Shiva-Parvati marriages.
