Lampooning the kids shows of my youth most notably Land of the Lost the show is purposely unfocused and confusing but I am enjoying the effort to make it look "Good Bad".
An okay origin story but would have made more sense to do it in Season 2 when Sinister was the main focus.
Its such a sad and weird show and I almost feel like its purpose is to make people living average lives to feel like they are failures. I'm not mad at the show but it seems like the writer wants to make the mundane things in our life feel like mistakes and I mean, no I don't think they are. I'm not sure I want to do 10 episodes of this.
What is it with Stranger Things and bullying? I get they want to drive it home but it’s so over the top and seems to last forever. I get it. El is miserable and these kids are dicks. Just too much.
Also Mike is such a self-centered puke. I kind of liked his devotion to El in the first season but he’s been nothing but an annoying brat since. The way he treats Will is horrible. Like he doesn’t even exist. I kind of think the writers feel this way about Will too. They have no idea what to do with him. He just stands there and does nothing to help El. Tiring.
I'll eat my shorts if this gets a second season.
Man, this show started as kind of fun lampoon but it is getting to be a serious downer. I guess I didn't realize what I was getting into.
ok, this show is taking a turn.
That was a lot more nudity than I expected to see.
This feels like a cheaper version of the original series. The writing isn't as great and it feels like it struggles to give any time to characters other than the main four. The new Batou fangirl is extra annoying too so she ends up being subtraction by addition. Its an uneven season with some okay high points but not many of them. I'm hopeful season 2 will get a better budget and up the stakes.
It started out well and was great to see David again but the resolution felt incomplete and very reset button like. I did like David's song.
This movie reminds me of another disaster movie called "2012". The plot is full of constant climaxes to the point where none of them seem to matter. The family moments are nicely done and the effects are impressive but overall the movies just seems to go on and on until you are begging for some kind of ending.
The A plot of the show was great but the 10 other sub-plot just felt scattered and sort of like lets invent some things for all the other cast to do. I find this show works better when only focusing on two or three characters. Still this episode hit a lot of great emotional moments but overall it just felt like plot housekeeping. Keep some story threads alive but don't give them the focus they might otherwise observe.
Kind of a hopeless episode.
Well, I know they wanted to do something "different" but at the end I felt like they completely missed what Cowboy Bebop was all about. And that "teaser" for Ed at the end? WTF! The tone shift sucked.
The ending was more about Julia and Vicious then about the Bebop crew and truthfully Julia and Vicious were just pilot devices in the original. Vicious had zero personality and Julia was more like a memory for Spike then an actual person.
It just so hard to watch this show without comparing it to the original espcially when they so desperately want to be compared. And at the end they completely killed to the team off because then season 2 they can get back together? You are missing the point of the original again.
Clever finale but not good. Maybe if they’d gone with less fan service the ending wouldn’t feel so forced. At the end of the last episode I thought we’d get some real drama about dealing with her problems but instead they punted the whole plot for gags and it kind of made everything up to that point feel pointless. Oh well, at least they tried.
Definately savings something for next season this last episode felt more like filler than actually leading to something but maybe I am expecting too much from a show that wants badly to subvert all expectations.
Maybe it’s been too long since I watched the last series but the writing is meh. Blue guy is so obviously an evil trick.
They tried but this a clear lesson in how you should not try to copy and then deviate from a classic story. You can never measure up.
This is almost a one man show. Dana does almost 80% of the characters.
This episode gave off a lot of 5th Element vibes for me.
There were some good ideas in this episode but it was really rushed. It feels like they crammed a two or three episodes into one. Add to that the really poor animation and you can see why people stopped watching.
Pretty short and really not much set up. Basically saying the whole Iron Man ten rings thing? Yeah forget about that ok?
A big disappointment missing all the great moments of Carter tv series and seems to only focus on Captain America. A missed opportunity for one of marvel's best characters.
This is definitely a creative and lampoon episode with some good ideas but I have to imagine the tone change wasn’t well received.
Did they just off Kingpin like that? The tone of the episode was just all over the place. Not the best finale but the writing for the show wasn't that great.
Finally two actual movie reviews. That’s what we’ve needed all season.
Season 2 is much better. I hope we get a season 3.
This was better but this show really should be better than it is. The A and B stories have nothing in common other than a forced connection. There were some better gags this episode (I liked the scooby doo chase) but everything is kind of disjointed like the 10 writers were all working separately on this and gave it to an unpaid intern to stitch together.
Kind of disappointed in this season so far. Every episode is about the two buddy heros getting along then there is a misunderstanding, then they are afraid to talk to each other and then by the end they find out it was just a big misunderstanding. I realize they are trying to build to a big crisis coming up but these filler episodes are pretty dull.
