I could not make it through episode 1
This is following on the footsteps of Star Wars Visions and Ani Matrix with short independent animations with unique styles and story lines based on the source material.
Unfortunately, this falls way short. Most are not really that entertaining and rely on shock and gore. While admittedly over the top in the series it moved the story forward, here it's gratuitous for no reason.
Episode 1 is a throw back to 40's Loony Toons style comics. Justin Roiland's episode definitely had a bit of R&M in it. Episodes 3 & 8 are tied into the series so I'll assume fans will like those.
It isn't the worst but it just isn't really good. I'm not sure why Seth Rogan, Aisha Taylor, Andy Samburg, and Akwafina are getting their stories produced. They're not especially talented. Luckily the episodes are only 15m each so not a huge investment.
Bottom Line: It's mostly forgettable and unsatisfying.
The last episode is the best one, the rest range from shitty (literally, episode 5) to ok.
The whole series was a disappointment bar the last two episodes
Level "Entertaining" • 6 :heart: • You may or may not enjoy this.
The episodes are very unequal.
I highly recommend episode8⃣that gives a great insight on Homelander and is a real good addition to the main show.
Episode3⃣could also be a fun side story of the main show. Doesn't bring anything, but fits right in.
Episodes 2⃣and 7⃣are a nice addition for background world development, showing that not all people who take the V end up with superhero like powers. Some are just totally useless or uncontrollable.
Episode 4⃣story is kinda ok, but could be easily translated outside of the show's world, so not much interest.
1⃣is just for the gore. 5⃣for the stupid. 6⃣is useless.
A couple of great episodes but the rest are mainly filler.
This is not a movie

NOTE FOR MYSELF SO I REMEMBER SOMEDAY, ONLY REPRESENTS MY OPINION/THOUGHTS FOR MYSELF NOT A “REAL REVIEW“, SO YOU PROBABLY WONT AGREE WITH IT
(also its not my 1st language)
very weird and not the good kind
I didn’t excepted it to be like the boys, but something like it or a few stories/insights about the characters but this was SO random wtf. The only two episodes I kinda enjoyed were 4 & 8 , the rest is bullshit imo :’)
(Also, why didn’t they use the actor voices for the characters?? some were correct and some were different, which was confusing, but Samberg’s cameo had me fangirling even when it was super short, so that was nice)
I know theres a word for stuff like this show but unfortunately I don’t know it so I have to lable it as random, stupid & weird, even tho I love weird and dont want to sound too harsh on it, Im sure there a people who like that stuff but it aint me :’D Maybe flat comes close to it but yeah, you can skip that show, or watch it, since its only 15 mins episodes you won’t waste too much of your time but, and I hate to say it bc I was excited for it and wanted to like it, this was disappointing.
