I like how both the angel and demon clans aren't wholly good or evil.
Both have their bastards, and both have their more reasonable members.
The real tyrants seem to be the supreme dieties, from what little we know of them. They don't actually participate in the wars, but what they did to Meliodas and Elizabeth makes them seem incredibly petty.
The fact they were fooled by a seven year old kid also doesn't make them look too smart.
