Bait and Switch , No Head?!

Today I watched Brazilian Game Show play footage of POE2 and noticed 2 disturbing things...
The Executioner did NOT chop off a head nor was there a pile of heads below his chopping block instead there was a NPC bound to a chopping block with a head intact and a pile of wood below him... this leads to questions like have GGG sucked their balls up inside of themselves?
Secondly I witnessed a Warrior play through and a Mercenary play through where they both just stood around and LET monsters beat on them taking very very little damage from the monsters attacks which in earlier iterations of POE2 these players would have been eviscerated.
Im very worried by these two things, are we gonna get served the watered down version of PoE2? I was buying in on the challenge, not wade through all the enemies like they are nothing. This is lookin more like speed run stuff and turn your brain off get stoned and order pizza than sweaty try hard and Im not liking what Im seeing. Watching people just stand there and get hit without hardly moving the HP bar is a giant Red Flag to me. Im hyped for PoE2 but now Im worried. I hope this version was just watered down for the BGS event.
