Spider-Noir TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review


Even tho the character of Spider-Man has been in alot of live action films he's really been in two live action TV shows both of which were in the seventies. Well now we have another new show to add to that list with this show actually doing two things different the first of which being the fact that you can watch the show in both color and black and white and the second of which being the fact that it is the live action Spider-Man project not to feature Peter Parker and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that might be based watched in black and white with the show in question being called simply just "Spider-Noir" enjoy.

The plot of this show is five years after the death of his fiancée is killed at the hands of a criminal retired superhero and private investigator Ben Reilly finds himself dragged back into the hero game when he agrees to take on a case that involves a supposed cheating wife. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. The shows plot was quite frankly alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this shows plot should have been a very generic and a very by the books superhero show with a noir twist put on it and that's really it and while there are hints of that being the case. The shows plot does add in enough things to keep you invested that when it does drop certain plot lines for reason you don't really feel it with the fact that it does drop certain plot lines being something that does hold the plot of the show as for no reason the show will start another plot and then drop it a few episodes later only to then pick it up again with this being something that does make it hard to tell just what the main plot of the show was meant to be when it would have been all the more better if the show just picked one plot line for it's main plot and just ran with it and not not just randomly start a new plot line every few episodes as that is something that will confuse the audience watching this show with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is one of this shows executive producers Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly / The Spider and Lamorne Morris as Joe "Robbie" Robertson. Also starring in this show show is Li Jun Li as Felicia "Cat" Hardy , Karen Rodriguez as Janet Ruiz , Abraham Popoola as Lonnie Lincoln / Tombstone , Jack Huston as Flint Marko / Sandman , Andrew Lewis Caldwell as Dirk Leyden / Megawatt , Amanda Schull as Ruby J. Williams , Lukas Haas as Winston , Cary Christopher as Frankie , Michael Kostroff as Alfred Morris and Brendan Gleeson as Finbar "Finn" Byrne / Silvermane.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. To be frank the fact that this shows acting was as good as it is is something that is still quite surprising as while yes the show does have some really good actors in it alot of this shows actors aren't that well known and yet they do turn in some really good performances in this show and while they don't out act the likes of Nicolas Cage or Brendan Gleeson for that matter they do tun in some really good performances in there own right. With the best actor in the whole entire show being Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly / The Spider as he does carry the whole show with him giving us a really powerful performance as the character ss while the show does add in moments of humor with Ben Nicolas does pull them really well and when the show does have a dramatic moment he does really turn it up and while he doesn't have you in floods of tears during those moments you do feel the characters pain with both him and Brendan Gleeson clearly having a blast acting in scenes together and to be fair watching the two of them do a scene together is alot of fun to watch as we are watching two really good actor just knock it out of the park with there acting with Nicolas not really being afraid to go to those more wacky places with his character with this being something that does shine through in his final performance. With the acting that's in this very show really being helped by the fact that this shows scripts are all just so good that all this shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show. 


Doing the CGI for this show is Alchemy 24 and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Industrial Light & Magic. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. The thing that does make this shows CGI be so good in the first place is the fact that it does blend it really well with the show with the shows live action elements with the show really only using CGI in scenes where it would be impossible to do them for real. Like for example extending the shows sets to make them look bigger or by having The Spider swinging threw New York all of these things are things that would have been hard to do for real and therefor the only way to do them would be to do them in CGI. This isn't to say that the shows CGI is great all of the time tho as there are scene in the show where the CGI does look a little bit two much like a cartoon like whenever Megawatt uses his powers as while alot of the time the effects on them do look good there are times where it does look a little bit two fake with the thing even being true for the scenes where we can see Ben in the passenger seat of a car with the car moving as the projection for alot of those scenes does look a little bit of and while it is clear that the makers of this show wouldn't give the effects team alot of time to finish those scenes as alot of them are nothing scenes  it does lower the overall quality of the shows effects. With things like Megawatts powers being something that should have had more time given to them given the fact that he is a minor character in the show however when the show does have some good effects like Ben swinging threw New York it is something that does look really good with it being something that does show that the makers of this show did know when to use CGI and when to do things for real.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Like with alot of noir films and TV shows this one does have a femme fatal character which in this case is Cat herself. With the character being someone who is madly in love with Flint Marko so much so that she'll do anything to see him cured of his powers and yet the second that she believes him dead she gets Ben to fall in love with her this is something that is an interesting part of the show due to the fact that she and Ben were planning on running away together and yet because of the fact that she loves Flint alot more then she does Ben she turns him into a doctor that wants to use him for own ends thus leaving Ben broken hearted. The theme of love and what it can do to you is something that we see all throughout the show as we get told by Ben himself that the biggest mistake he made prior to episode 1 was falling in love with him struggling to cope with the death of Ruby so much so that he gave up being The Spider as he believed that her death was his fault and yet when we see him fall in love again this time with Cat he is not only all the more wiser but is also willing to take a chance which does make it all the more upsetting when she does betray him. When it comes to Cat it's clear that she is the type of character that has never not had a boyfriend and therefore sh does struggle with knowing what to do when she believes that she doesn't have one anymore and even tho Flint has barely been missing for a few days by the time she starts to flirt with Ben the two of them do still form this connection with each other where they are both able to tell the other things that they might not have done otherwise. The show does go to great length to show us both the up and the down sides of being madly in love with with someone as the show do0es show us Ben being really happy when he thinks that he's found true love with Cat and yet the second that she turns on him he realises that she's played him like a fiddle and the first thing that he does is get drunk and be the same depressed person that he was at the start of the show.

In what is a rather cool move there are actually two ways that you can watch this show the first of which is in color and the second is in black and white. Watching the show in color is alot more easier for more modern audiences to do as it is something that they are more used to do however given the fact that this is noir show and alot of those classic noir films were all done in black and white this is show does seem like it would be a much more better watch in that format as it would be more true to the classic noir genre as then you could have all of these harsh shadows hitting the characters and you could have characters walking out of the shadows alot more often and this is something that you just can't do in color. Due to the fact that we can see everything clear as day and while the characters do still have those harsh shadows hitting them alot of the time it feels like it's lacking something when its done in color but on the plus side tho it is understandable why the makers of this show did give us the audience a choice between the two formats as there will be people who will find watching the show in color alot more easier then watching it in black and white just due to the fact that they are more used to watching films and TV shows in that way and that's fair enough, much like there will be people who will want to watch this show in black and white as they'll want to get the proper noir expirence and that is something that you can't fully replicate when watching the show in color as alot of the noir films were never made to be seen in color even the word noir means black in French but the fact that they went out of there way to produce to different versions of an episode is something is to be commended as its something that alot of studios just won't do and will instead jus force us to watch the one version of something even tho watching it a different way might be the better option.


Silvermane might be the best villain that the makers of this show could have used for this season of the show. As the character isn't that well known and therefor they do have alot more room to do whatever they want with his character and to be fair he does seem like the type of character that you would want to meet in like the first film of a new series as while he yes he is threatening and he is cunning he's also someone that our hero could very easily beat in a fight if he wanted to do with it being made clear that this take on the character was done as a way for Sony to say that they had there own version of The Penguin as the two characters are very similar to each other with them even both being played by an Irish person. Yet Silvermane doesn't really have an endgame as he spends a good portion of the first half of the season trying to work out who burnt down his house and tried to kill him and spending a few episodes of the rest of the season trying and failing to get an army of superpowered people to help him take over New York this is something that does make it hard to get a good read on who he is as a character as his motivations seem to be shifting from episode to episode when giving him one clear goal in mind be it to built up his superpowered army or to find out who tried to kill him would have been more then enough to make him a truly threatening character and heck out of the two motivations its him trying to work who killed him that brings out his more evil side as there we do get to see him kill people in cold blood. This is something that we don't get to see with the rest of his evil plan and it is something that could have made his character be all the more unlikable as he does spend alot of time talking to the mayor of New York saying things like how he could have him replaced and yet when push does do come to shove we don't see him kill him and heck its not even Ben that kills him its Cat which yes does make sense for her character but for the main villain you do want him to get killed off by the main hero of the show.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then forty nine minuets with episode six having the shortest running time of forty six minuets and thirty five seconds and episode episode five having the longest running time of forty nine minuets and twenty five seconds. These are pretty solid running times for this show to have but what does let the show done is the fact that there are two few episodes in this first season as you very easily could have gotten a good ten episodes out of this first season alone which would have the advantage of letting the plot of the show breathe a little bit more and it would allow for the show to pick just the one main plot line and not just pick up and drop it's main plot line whenever it chooses to do so with the show having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of plot in the first place. Yet even with the show having eight episodes it still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the show doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot with the show being alot more focused on giving different plot lines then it i in giving us a more focused and well developed plot something which it would have been alot more able to do if the season was just a few episodes longer as then the show would have that time to explore these multiple plots whilst having the one overarching plot line. This is something that does effect the shows character development as well as understandably the only character that does get some sort of character development inn Ben as he does go from someone who is running away from his past to someone who does fully embrace it by becoming The Spider once again and while it is understandable why he does get alot of the shows character development as he is the shows main character we don't see characters like Cat , Janet or Robbie get any kind of character development with us knowing just as much about them coming out of the show then we did coming into the show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty pretty good. The fact that this show does have alot of good action in it isn't something that's all that surprising due to the fact that the makers of this show also made the highly entertaining Spider-Verse films and therefor they do know how to craft some really good action something which does come into use alot of the time in this show with us getting at the very least one action scene per-episode in this show. With the best action scene in the whole entire show being the fight scene in episode seven "Nobody's Hero" as we do get this really cool bar room fight scene where a drunk Ben dressed in his The Spider mask decides to take on a bunch of people that where making fun of him for not being as good they remember him being with the whole fight scene being done in one continuous shot which is always something that will be really impressive to see as if one person mistimes something that they have to start the whole thing over again from scratch and yet it is something that they do pull off really well in this episode with the scene itself having moments of comedy with the people getting moaning in pain alot of the time with it being that great mixture of comedy and action being something that two of the shows other executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller do really well and it is something that is used to great effect in this scene with the scene itself being just as hard hitting as it is funny to watch with the rest of the shows action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall we are starting the summer months of good with this show and here's hoping that we really can end next month just as good as we've ended this month. As Spider-Man: Brand New Day does have alot to live up to now as this show has proven that you don't need Peter Parker playing Spider-Man for it to be good as all you need is a good script and good acting and both of those are things that this show really has in spades in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Looney Tunes "Devil May Hare" Review



The Looney Tunes characters are some of the most well known characters in the world of animation yet this is something that you really wouldn't know given just how badly they've been treated by there own creators in recent years. Yet this wasn't always the case as there was a time where anything a new Looney Tunes cartoon meant that we were going to be seeing somethin good and that is very much the case with the cartoon that i'm going to be revieing for you all today and so then join me as I review the review the cartoon that introduces us to Taz with the cartoon in question being called simply just "Devil May Hare" enjoy.

The plot of this cartoon is when a hungry Taz escapes and goes looking to eat quite literally anything for lunch its up to ne scared and easily frightened rabbit to put a stop to him before he to becomes lunch. Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. The plot to this cartoon is one that is quite simple and to be fair that's all it needed to be as alot of the Looney Tunes shorts did have very simple plots to them with alot of them this one included just essentially having a premise and nothing more then that. This is something that does allow for the makers of this cartoon to pack in the cartoon with alot more jokes and not have to spend so little time in explaining the joke which is something that they would have to do if the plot was alot more deep and complex and to it's credit this is where the episode does shine its best with the plot of the cartoon being delightfully simple as we don't need to know why Taz is going after Bugs we just need to know that he's hungry and will and in this case does eat anything that comes before him and that's and that it is great for a cartoon like this one, this isn't to say that all cartoons should have simple plots as something like Mickey Mouse cartoon can get away with having more complex plots but for a Looney Tunes cartoon you do want a plot that is more simple and easy to follow and that's exactly what he plot of this cartoon is in all of the best ways possible with the plot of this cartoon also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Starring in this cartoon is Mel Blanc with him providing the voices for all of the cartoons characters something which he did pretty much all of the time. With it being next to impossible to tell that characters like Bugs and Taz for example are being voiced by the same actor as he does go to great lengths into giving these characters distinct enough voices that you can tell just who is talking when you close your eyes and just listen to the cartoon this is of course helped by the fact that Bugs does have one of if not the most famous cartoon voice but even with Taz when we are so used to hearing the character speaking what is essentially gibberish and yet here not only does speak full English but he's also got a more intelligent sounding voice to him as well. Of course the characters voice would change over the years before finally ending up with the more familiar sounding voice for the character but it is interesting to see not only where the characters voice would start but also what the evolution of his voice was like as we know that Bugs's voice in his official cartoon is alot more different then what it is now with him originally sounding like a just as daffy Daffy Duck before slowly morphing into his more familiar sounding voice the ore that the character was refined and the more that various other directors worked on him and it does appear to be the same case with Taz and yet even in this cartoon you can still can here a bit of the more traditional sounding voice for the character as there are times when he's spinning where he does speaking gibberish and yet it doesn't feel out of character for him even when he's speaking in full English and infact you could make the case that having him speak like this when he's the villain of the cartoon is perfect as it does make him sound more threatening of a character whereas with him speaking gibberish you do lose that.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. It's not rally all that surprising that the acting in this cartoon is as good as it is given the fact that we do have perhaps the best voice actor ever doing all of the voices for all of the characters in the cartoon and while yes it would have helped if we did have more actors in this cartoon just to give Mel someone to bounce off of it wasn't something that was needed as you can barely tell that both characters were played by the same man. It does go without saying but the best actor in this cartoon is of course Mel Blanc as he is just so good as both Bugs and Taz in this cartoon and while the voice or Taz would evolve over years it is nice to see there the voice the character started with Mel giving just as much to his performance as Taz as he would do to Bugs with it coming across as him having a deep level of love for all of the characters that he voices not only in general but in this cartoon as a whole as he does go to great lengths into giving all of the cartoons characters there own level of warmth with the same thing even being true for Taz and he is meant to be the villain of the piece this is something that does shine through in his performance with his performance in this cartoon even giving alot of the characters some of their personalities. With the acting that's in this very cartoon really being helped by the fact that this cartoons script is just so good that all this cartoons actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very cartoon. 


Doing the animation for this cartoon is Herman Cohen , Phil DeLara , Charles McKimson and Rod Scribner. Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. While alot of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons do gave these highly detailed backgrounds that show off the fact that these shorts were made to be seen on the big screen this short goes the opposite way by giving us these highly minimalistic backgrounds and this is something that does work well enough in the cartoons favor. As not all of these Looney Tunes cartoons need to have these highly detailed backgrounds for them to look good does it help yes but it's not something that's needed with the thing that helps to sell you on this cartoons animation being the fact that these backgrounds not only never repeated in the cartoon but they also never got reused and yet they still look really good. Heck the animation on the whole is of a really high quality as you can tell right from the first frame that alot of blood , sweat and tears when into this cartoons animation due to the fact that we do get alot of shots that would have been really hard to pull of in 2D like the fact that we get to see Taz hanging upside down only we are seeing it from the ground up whereas today such a shot would be done in CGI back in the day tho the makers of this cartoon just had to take a chance on it working and thank god it did as that shot does look really good with all of the cartoons animation more then holding up all of these later. 


For those of you that perhaps didn't know this cartoon marks the official debut for Taz with him in this cartoon just looking for some lunch. Which in this case does involve eating Bugs Bunny and while the character would get more refined as the years went on here in this early version of the character he is still pretty much as fully formed as he is ever likely to be with the only major difference being that much like Wile E. Coyote did in either his first or one of his first cartoons Taz speaks almost in full sentences with him still maintaining his more animalistic nature where as in later years especially during The Looney Tunes Show he would be played up more as being a wild animal and would barely speak in English. This version of the character even tho it's a rough draft of a character still does work and the fact that even all of these years later there's really only been one major change to his character does show you that the makers of this cartoon really did nail him on his first attempt and the fact that the character was only brought back for more cartoons after alot of fans demanded that the character be brought back does show out that he is one of the most underrated characters in Looney Tunes history. As yeah this character was originally meant to be a one and done character but due to how the fans responded to him as a character Warner Bros had no choice but t bring him back to start in more cartoons with him being a core Looney Tunes character ever since then and to be fair it's not that hard to see why he ended up being as popular as he did as even in this cartoon he is a highly entertaining character who can at times be goofy and be looney and while that might take away from other Looney Tunes villains here it is something that does help him feel more well rounded and while he is going up against the powerhouse that is Bugs Bunny he does come out being just as fun to watch as Bugs himself is.

Whilst there are alot of really good things to be found in this cartoon there some downsides to this cartoon as well like for example the fact that the cartoons plot might be a bit to simple for it's own good as while yes it is good that it did have a simple plot there are times where it is hard to work out just what the main plot of the cartoon is due to how simple the cartoons plot is with the other thing being the fact that despite Taz being the villain of the cartoon you do still end up liking him as a character whereas if the makers of this cartoon wanted t us to truly hate this character then they should have gone as far as they could have done into making Taz be this evil character. Like for example they could have had him come close to eating Bugs a couple of times are actually show Bugs being scared of him both of these are very simple things to do but there also really effective as they get across the fact that Taz is someone that should be feared with this having the added impact of making all the times that Bugs does get his payback on Taz be all the more fun to watch as now we the audience want to see all of these things happen to him and yet as the makers of this cartoon went almost out of there way to not make him as evil as they could have done by making him be this more aloof type of character then alot of the times that Bugs does get back at him whilst they are still funny there not really earned with it feeling like that the cartoon is just going through the motions during those parts of the cartoon. However to be fair tho whilst these shorts were made more with families in mind and not just kids it does somewhat make sense that they wouldn't make Taz out to be this truly evil character as they are trying to appease the whole family but it still would have been nice to see what a fully evil Taz would have looked like as there is the potential there for him to be this really evil but still looney character.


Just to talk about Bugs for a second he is just as fun to watch in this cartoon as he is in alot of his other cartoons. This is something that does make sense as the character had been around for alot longer then Taz at that point in time and therefor the makers of this cartoon would have gotten his personality down perfectly with this being something that would have helped to make it easier to come up with stories for him and to be pairing this new character with Bugs Bunny is something that does make sense as Bugs was and still is the bigger star of the two and therefor putting him in a Bugs Bunny cartoon is guaranteed to give the cartoon alot more eyes on it just due to the fact that Bugs was in alot more cartoons. However this is something that could be seen as being a bad thing as we all know that Bugs is never going to loose at the end of the cartoon outside of a few Elmer Fudd cartoons and therefor there's not really alot of tension in the cartoon with the tension instead coming from the fact that we are now left trying to work out how Bugs will get himself out of this one now whereas if Taz was paired up with someone like Daffy or Porky who yes are still very well known characters in there own right you would then have that tension right away as both of those characters very rarely if ever "won" there cartoons and therefor we would be more tense when we see Taz chasing after either of them, yet at the same time tho Bugs and Taz do make for a good combo with it making you wonder why the makers of this cartoon didn't pair these two up more often as you could have gotten alot of laughs out of Bugs using his street smarts to outwit the hungry nature of Taz or heck when they pair Taz up with Bugs they could have given him a slightly different personality like what they did with Daffy when he teamed up with Bugs as Taz and Bugs do have the potential to be a really funny combo and they could have been exactly that if they were paired up together more often.

Now then this cartoon has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly six minuets and fifty five seconds. With this pretty much being the exact grand total running time for alot of the Looney Tunes cartoons and to be fair to this cartoon whilst it really doesn't need to be that long as you very easily could have told this cartoons plot in well under five minuets it does have to fully set up a new character and get across what he is like and still a good story and there is a good chance that the cartoon wouldn't have been able to do that if it was under five minuets with the cartoon even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount on running time in the first place. While this cartoon doesn't really use it's running time all that wisely as the cartoon doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot this is something that really isn't a bad thing in this case as given the fact that the Looney Tunes cartoons always more gag driven then they are plot driven it dos make sense that the plot wouldn't be as well developed as that would mean taking up screen time away from the cartoons jokes and when the plot of the cartoon is as simple as it is then this cartoons plot really didn't need to be as well developed and while yes it would have been nice if the plot of this cartoon was alot more well developed it wasn't something that the makers of this cartoon needed to do as it would be the jokes that determined if this cartoon is good or not. The same thing is also true for the cartoons lack of character development with the added thing in this case being the fact that you could make the argument that Bugs has all of his other characters to get some character development and while it would have been nice if Taz did get some character development in this cartoon as there was guarantee that he would be getting more cartoons in the future it wasn't something that was needed as he is meant to be the villain of the piece but I really will admit that this cartoon really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean tat I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. This cartoon does have alot of good jokes in it all of which do feel true to who both Taz and Bugs are as characters be it from Taz cutting down mountains whilst chasing Bugs to Bugs burying Taz in the ground in an early attempt to get away from him bottom line being here is that there are alot of good jokes in this cartoon with it being made clear that the makers of this cartoon did put alot of thought and effort into this cartoons jokes. With the best joke in this cartoon being a tie between when Bugs gets Taz to swallow an inflatable raft and then pulling string this making Taz himself turn into a raft is a funny visual and when Bugs is on the phone ordering an advertisement for a female Taz to come and marry Taz only for him to get cut off by the operator when Bugs turns and talks to the audience which again is a funny joke with the thing that makes the raft Taz joke even more funny being the animation as we get to see him turn into a Taz shaped raft which was something that the makers of this cartoon didn't have to do and the thing that makes the joke about Bugs being cut of by the phone operator work as well as it does being the fact that it is a slightly clever joke as it is something that you wouldn't expect to find in a Looney Tunes cartoon and yet that is why both of these jokes work so well as there jokes that you don't see coming with them being able to work so well because of it with the rest of the cartoons jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Overall this was a solid cartoon as it does show you just how good that the Looney Tunes could be when they have a good director making there cartoons and while Warner Bros might be content with destroying there own legacy this is cartoon is a good reminder of why these characters are so well beloved in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very cartoon in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very cartoon really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very revie well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Looney Tunes Wiki . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very cartoon that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very cartoon with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition and there's really only one way to end this review T-T-T-T-THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

The Wombles: Orinoco And The Big Black Umbrella


There are some shows that will always be timeless no matter what decade that they air in and where in the world they are watched as there's just something about them that will always make them feel relevant. The same thing is true for The Wombles as this little known British kids TV show about things that clean up after us is something that is still relevant to this very day and well as you all seem to like the Paddington revies so much and this show was made by the same team it only made sense that I check out the first episode of this show and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced us to a whole new race of beings with the episode in question being called simply "Orinoco And The Big Black Umbrella" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Orinoco the laziest Womble is tasked with finding the latest edition of The Times on a particularly windy day. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The thing that makes this episodes plot be as good as it was is the fact that it is a simple story as all it is is just a creature trying to find the latest edition of a newspaper for the head of this section of The Wombles and that's it. With the fact that this episodes plot being as simple as it is is also something that does add an extra layer of charm to the episode as while yes it would have been very nice if the makers of this episode did have a more stronger plot that better showed of alot of the main characters like you would get in todays animated shows by not doing that and only really focusing on just the one character it does allow for the episode to come across as being alot more relaxing as there's no big plot and there's no characters running around trying to get alot of things done it's just this one character doing this ne thing and even then he doesn't do it on purpose, however there are advantages to having a more stronger plot as well like for example the fact that we would get to better know the shows characters and location something which we don't really get to see alot of in this episode and while that would be great for other shows for this episode taking more slow and steady approach does work as it allows the characters to be there usual charming selfs and it allows for us the audience to be oddly engrossed in the episodes plot with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Bernard Cribbins and much like alot of kids shows from around this time period he is doing all of the voices for all of the characters. However unlike alot of those same shows he does make an effort to give all of The Wombles slight differences in their voices with thus being something that does allow for us the audience to make out alot more easier just which character is speaking at any given moment. With it being helped by the fact that he is his usual charming self in this show with him giving the characters these really charming voices that do help to highlight there personalities which is something that he really didn't need to do and is something that people like Sir Ringo Starr and Sir Michael Hordern could have done for there respective shows and yet it was something that was not only done in this episode but works in this episode as well as this is a show that does demand that all of the characters do have these unique voices just due to the fat that there are alot of main characters in the show and while the same thing is also true for something like Paddington there they can get away with just having one voice for alot of the characters due to the fact that the stories are more well known whereas here the stories for The Wombles aren't as well known and therefor Bernard did have to come up with these rather distinctive sounding voices to help to give life to these characters and it is something that does work as he does give them life when on paper they could have been seen as being very one dimensional and boring to listen to at best and to be fair to the episode it does also give the episode alot more charm as you never really know just what it is that the characters are going to be saying next.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Out of all of the people that they could have gotten to do voice work for this show Bernard Cribbins really was the best choice as he is just such a likable person anyway this is something that Doctor Who fans young and old know full well and yet it is something that does also come across in his acting for this episode with him even adding little tings that help to make the characters feel more thought out like for example he makes Great Uncle Bulgaria who is the leader of this part of The Wombles be a little bit more aloof and be a bit more commanding then what he might have been in the books. With the best actor in this episode for obvious reasons also being Bernard Cribbins as the man is just simply a joy to listen to in this episode as you can tell right from the start of the episode to right at the very end of the episode and that joy is something that does make his performance all the more fun to watch in the episode, with him even coming across as someone who read the books as his performance in the episode does come across as someone who was a fan of the books and therefore turned in a good performance because of the fact that he wanted to do right not only by the characters but also by the books themselves. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that this episodes animation is of as high a quality is something that's not really all that surprising as FilmFair did have Ivor Wood not only directing the show but also doing all of the animation for the show and it is something that really does show through in the final episode. As the episode does have the same Ivor Wood look and feel to it that alot of this shows be it The Herbs or Paddington have to them and to be fair to this episode it is something that does work for the episode with both the show and the episode having a rather unique look to them as all of the things like trees and the backs of people's houses all seems to be done in paper cut out with The Wombles themselves being done in stopmotion with this being the kind of style that was used a little bit for The Herbs and yet here in this episode it does feel like that it was pushed as far as they could take it as we do get alot of shots in this episode that do make you wonder how they managed to film it with the best example of this being when Orinoco gets swept up in the Umbrella and it carries him home with the camera showing us him taking of from his point of view this is shot that today would have been very easy to do as you could it in CGI but back in the seventies there was no way that you could get a shot like this and yet here it is in this episode and it's a shot does look really good. The rest of the episodes animation does look about as good as you could expect from nineteen seventies stopmotion and yet the episode oddly enough doesn't feel like it's being held back by this rather it fully embraces its limiations and works around them.


For alot of you that don't really know this show is based off of a series books by author Elisabeth Beresford. With there being a total of six books released between 1968 and 1976 this is something that might explain why the storis aren't as well known to today's child audience as they would have been back in the day with it not really being helped by the fact that while the books are still in print there not the easiest the books to find as you can only find a few of them on Amazon's UK page and that's really it but what would be interesting to find out is if they took the same approach to telling the stories in this show that they did in Paddington where they only adapted the more humorous moments in the books and not really nothing else. As this episode does seem to rather gag driven as they don't set up anything about the characters or how they came to be here with the episode just cracking on with the story and heck it's hard to say if this episode was adapted from any of the books or not as there's no way of finding out any of that stuff but if it was then great as this was a really well written episode with there being some really cute characters moments with Orinoco and Great Uncle Bulgaria that do add to the episode and yet at the same time it would have been nice to see more of the other Wombles just so we can find out something about. Again to compare this episode to that of Paddington or even The Herbs for that matter in both shows in the first episode alone as find out alot about both the main character and the side characters whereas here in this episode we don't get to find out all that much about the characters outside of Orinoco who we find out is the lazy one of the group and that's it and while that might work for a storytelling method in the book as you have as many pages as you need to tell your story in a book for an animated show like this one the approach did need to be tweaked to fit this different format but it is still something that worked as well as it could have done tho.

It is easy to see why all of these characters really did take of back in the seventies as they are a bunch of really likable characters. This is something that you do see quite alot of the time just in this first episode alone and it is something that does make not only this episode but alot of the kids shows from around this time period like for example The Magic Roundabout and The Clangers as there is alot of thought and effort put into giving us these fun and charming characters and because of that all of them do come across as being really likable with this being one of the many reasons why shows like this one have stood the test of the time. With another reason being the fact that the episode itself is really cute and charming as while yes we all know that nothing bad is going to happen to the characters and we all know that at the end of the day there all going to make it back home safe and sound but what makes it charming to watch is despite all of that they do still show us just what a day in there lives are and that is something that does help to make the episode be alot more charming as this episode is one that could have been seen as being a very weak episode to start the show as a whole out on and that would be fair enough but at the same time tho the episode itself didn't need to be that strong in the first place it just needed to show you characters doing what they do best and if the makers of this show had done there job properly then we the audience would still be in love with the characters and want to see more of them and this is something that this episode does do quite well as while Orinoco does take the lead in the episode we still want to see more of the other Wombles those being Tonks , Wellington and Bungo that start out the episode even if it's just spend more time in this quite essentially British world.


In truth there's not really all that much with the episode itself and while that is a really goof thing it is something that could be seen as being a bad thing., As it does mean that the episode for the large part could be seen as being forgettable as while not alot actually does happen in the episode the episode also does nothing all that memorable either whereas if you look at the first episodes from British kids shows shows from around this same time they all do mostly have something that does make them standout a bit more be it the action from Thunderbirds or the more calming and relaxing nature of Bagpuss either way you do remember those episodes. Yet here with this episode outside of its high quality animation there's nothing that makes the episode be all the more memorable and while is something that could work to the episodes advantage as this show amongst many others are meant to be very slice of life there still did need to be something memorable about the episode and whilst one could argue that the shows opening theme song is the things that helps to make this episode more memorable that is not something that's exclusive to this episode. Not being all that memorable tho is is something that could be seen as being an advantage for the show as the show is meant to be all about how we humans never see The Wombles cleaning u after us therefor the show itself should represent the fact that we just never notice them and that does include not having memorable episodes and while the film "Wombling Free" would have us humans finally notice The Wombles that film isn't all memorable either, heck it could also be argued that the the thing that makes this episode be all the more memorable is the fact that it doesn't have alot of characters in it as there are only five characters in this whole episode and yet the episode still manages to tell a really good story.

Now then his episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and fifty one seconds. Which for today's kids might not seem like much but for people of a certain age that is the bogstandard running time for a lot of classic kids shows as alot of them were all under five minuets in length and while this episode could have benefitted from having really a slightly longer running time just to introduce all of the shows main characters it really didn't need to do any of that as the episode does have more then enough thee interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho with this is mind the episode still doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot as we never get to find out why Great Uncle Bulgaria wants a copy of The Times and while the film does explain why The Wombles are always cleaning up after humans that's something that isn't touched upon in this episode and fair enough it really didn't need to as that might have been a bit to heavy for little kids to digest at the time but it is still something that is important to the plot of this episode. This is something that does also effect the episodes character development as while yes none of these shows are great at giving there characters development and to be fair they don't really need to either it still would have helped this episode alot if we did see Orinoco learn that sometimes being lazy can be a bad thing as that would be an important lesson to teach kids but at the same time tho there is also a chance that the episode characters might get there character development in later of episodes of the show which would be fair enough as this is only the first episode of the show but there still needs to be some groundwork laid for that development and while this episode isn't hurt by not giving it's characters any kind of character development it's also not helped by it either but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Wit the episode having alot of really cute funny moments in it that not only highlight just how funny that Bernard Cribbins was as an actor but also highlight just how funny that alot of this show characters can be as all of the characters in this episode do get a moment to just be funny. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when Orinoco does finally get a copy of The Times and is quite literally flown back home in the Umbrella Great Uncle Bulgaria does take it off him and says that he can have double helpings of tea tonight for getting his work done quickly only for Orinoco just to lie down there on the grass and start to fall back to sleep, Which while that's not a laugh out loud funny joke it is perfectly in keeping with his character as the one things that he's been trying to do for all of the episode is try and get back sleep and therefor it does make sense that at the end of the work day he would again try and do exactly that as that's more true to his character altho the episode did a miss a trick by not having Great Uncle Bulgaria say that he's not a copy of the recent Times and that the copy he's brought him was yesterdays times as that is something that would have made sense given the fact that the episode takes place of a windy day and the fact that the characters have only just started there work of cleaning after us when it's found with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst alot of people in other arts of the world might not know or even care about The Wombles if your off a certain age in Britain then odds are this was a show that you grew up with and to be fair this episode does do a really good job of making you want to watch the next episode with the episode more then holding up over fifty years later in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 1: The Mandalorian Review


Believe it or not we are now officially about five days away from finally getting Star Wars back where it belongs on the big screen. With the lates movie being a film version of The Mandalorian as such there really was no better tie in review to do then then the very first episode of the show as that's the episode that really did introduce these characters to the world and so then join me as I review the episode that gave the world Baby Yoda with the episode in question being called simply just "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he tasked with finding and killing a mysterious target a long Mandalorian finds his faith shaken when he finds out the target is a baby. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The plot for this episode was one that was kind of refreshing as instead of it hinging on a character deciding to join a war it instead focused on this character who for alot of the episode is portrayed very much as the bad guy choosing to do the right thing. With the plot of the episode using the stranger comes into town and ends up doing something life changing method of telling it's story and to be fair it is something that does work well in this plot as for a large portion of the episodes plot we do have to question if we can trust this unnamed Mandalorian and while yes the plot of this episode could have been better in some respects as the episode does take a good while to really get going with its plot but when it does get its plot moving that's when we get to see just how special that this was in it's early years as this show had to prove that Star Wars could make for a good TV show and what better way to help prove that then by giving us a plot that does make us want to watch not only the next episode but the rest of the first season as well with this episodes plot also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.   


Starring in this episode is Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian , Carl Weathers as Greef Karga and Werner Herzog as The Client. Also starring in this episode is Omid Abtahi as Doctor Pershing , Nick Nolte as the voice of Kuiil , Taika Waititi as the voice of IG-11 , John Beasley as The Bartender , Horatio Sanz as Mythrol , Tait Fletcher as Alpha Trawler , Ryan Watson as Beta Trawler , Dmitrious Bistrevsky as Quarren Trawler , Christopher Bartlett as The Ferryman , Brian Posehn as The Speeder Pilot and Emily Swallow as The Armorer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes acting was quite frankly alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this episodes acting should have been really bad due to the fact that we have a main character that not only doesn't speak for a vast majority of the episode but also never shows his face with the episode having to rely on its other actors alot of whom aren't that well known to carry the episode from an acting point of view. Yet even so the best actor in this episode is quite easily Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian as even tho he doesn't say alot of in this episode and he doesn't take his helmet of both of which things that could have been seen as holding an actor back it now means that Pedro has to rely solely on body language alone alot of the time and this is something where he does shine as you can tell from scene to scene if he's feeling angry , sad , happy or confused just by how he is standing with that being something that s hard for any actor to pull off as alot of the time live action actors use there faces to give us those emotions and yet it's when those tools are stripped away from them that we see how good of an actor that they really are with Pedro really getting his character right from the second that he walks on screen as just gives us this mysterious stranger type of vibe that does blend well with the character with it being something that does help to sell you on his performance as the character as well. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's n this very episode.


Doing the CGI for this episode is Important Looking Pirates ,  the legends and the greats that are currently over at Legacy Effects and Virtuos. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Even for a TV show this episodes CGI was of a really high quality with this being something that wasn't totally unexpected as not only do more modern day TV shows have some really good VFX in them but if you look at who was doing the VFX for this episode that it does make alot of sense as to why this episode did have some really good looking VFX in it. The thing that did help the VFX work as well as they do is the fact that this whole show was filmed on a large volume screen with the makers of this episode being to see the effects in real time and won't have to wait months to see them which does mean that the lighting for the effects can now match what was filmed on the day alot more better and while where will always be an argument for filming on location and not on a volume stage when the results are this is good it is something that that does make a strong case for shows being filmed on a volume stage. While the episodes effects do look good they don't look as good as they perhaps could have done with a few of the effects in the episode looking like they came right out of a video game and while it is understandable that not every effect can look good for the first episode especially there should have been more of an effort into making the episodes effects look as good as they possibly could have done.


This episode did of course introduce the world to Baby Yoda with him basically carrying the show for alot of it's run due to the fact that he is so cute. With this being something that the makers of this episode must have realized pretty straight away as in alot of the episodes when things are getting to tense an episode will just cut to him doing something cute just to get the audience to go "Awwwwww" which is fair enough as he is an adorable character but constantly doing that and not letting the tension of the episodes scenes just stay with us does take away from any of the episodes that it's in as while having more comedic moments is still great those moments won't be able to hit as hard when there just undercutting the tension of the scene. Thankfully due to he fact that the character barely appears in this episode we don't get any such scene in this episode and guess what the episode is all the more better because of it as now we the audience are left with an episode where we have to question if this Mandalorian is a good guy or not with us really only finding out that he is somewhat of a good guy at the end of the episode when he sees Grogu and doesn't kill as he was instructed to do so which yes granted is a small moment but its one that works due to the fact that the episode didn't cut away from the more tension filled scenes to a scene where Grogu is acting cute and while yes there is a more comedic scene in the episode that happens when there isn't anything going on in the episode and therefore it has to no scene to undercut the tension from in the first place. To be fair tho the idea of having this supposedly deadly target that this person must kill is a good idea as it makes us wonder what is so powerful about this creature in the first place and it also gives the character of The Mandalorian the chance to reveal the fact that he is somewhat of a good guy by not killing him.

Something that does make this show standout from other pieces of Star Wars media is the fact that this episode is essentially a western. With The Mandalorian acting as the lone character with a dark and shady past as he wonders in to this small town and has his life changed for the better with this being something that is all but confirmed when you take into account that you can here Spurs on the characters boots and the fact that the score for the episode does have more of a Western vibe to it then it does a science fiction action show and yet the episode never really looses the fact that it's set in the world of Star Wars as rather it embraces both the cliches that Westerns and Star Wars media do run into alot of the time. This is something that does make this episode stand out as it would have been very easy for this episode to just be a straight forward science fiction as that is something that you would expect from anything in Star Wars but the fact that the makers went out of there to make this episode feel more like a Western then anything else does show you that they are more then willing to take a chance and show us something that we didn't know we wanted to see in this world with them giving us all of the thigs that one expects to see in a Western but now there given a more Star Wars twist to them which is something that does make those idea and thoughts seem and fresh again. The only thing that does let this episode down quite alot is the fact that for a large portion of the episode it is hard to work out just what the main plot of the episode is meant to be as the episode does spend a large amount of time in showing us The Mandalorian getting ready for this mission and the steps that he takes to even get this mission which is just pointless as they add nothing to the episode as a whole. 


As was mentioned earlier on in this review this episode does have a more comedic scene with The Mandalorian training to use some creatures essentially as a horse. With him falling off every single time this is a cute joke as it does show that this character isn't perfect at everything and given the fact that it is really the only scene like this in the whole entire episode it was also something that was needed as it does give us the audience permission to laugh before things get really serious nearer the end of the episode and with the scene not really undercutting any other scene it also doesn't take away from the episode either. Would the episode have worked just as well if this scene wasn't included yes as it is essentially a nothing scene as nothing about The Mandalorian himself is revealed in that scene but at the same time given the fact that he original trilogy had lots of cute moments where the characters were allowed to be silly and tell a joke and be the but of a joke it is also something that us oddly fitting for this episode. To be frank if this scene was dine differently like maybe we do get to find out something about The Mandalorian then maybe this scene would have worked even more better as then we'd be able to laugh with the character and we'd learn something about him in the process as it is it is a scene that works just as well as this is the calm before the storm in matter of speaking as right after this scene he does go out and finds Grogu after killing several people and droid and while that moment is dark as it can be it works all the more due to the fact that we've just had this moment if light comedy with the character and while the show would go overboard with it's comedy in future seasons here the comedy worked as it was just one scene that didn't undercut the tension of any other scene.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty eight minuets and forty six seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show as alot of this shows episodes are around that same time and yet at the same time this episode really could have been longer as it does have alot of plot to set and is just so good that having a longer running time would have made the episode be all the more better as we would get to see more scenes with characters that we really like with this episode having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho the episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely in one regard as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot which is something that is fair enough as this is the first episode but at the same time tho the episode really doesn't add anything to its plot to make it feel fully formed and well though and while yes granted we could get lot more information in regards to this episodes plot in other episodes they are things that should have been added into this episode as you do always want to start with our best foot forward and part of that does include having a fully developed and more well thought out plot. Luckily the episode does take the time to fully develop its main characters as while alot of the shows other main characters either don't appear in this episode or if they do they get very minimal screen time The Mandalorian does go from someone who is the straight up bad guy to going to someone who could be the good guy something which is done rather subtly in the episode by having him kill someone who was about to kill Grogu bug I really will admit that this episode really does gave some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This episode does have some really good action in it with it being made clear as day that the makers of this episode really did put just as much thought and effort into this episodes action then they did everything else in the episode as much like with the films this episodes action was really good and creative with the episode doing a good job of making this character look all the more cool just in it's action scenes alone. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the attack on the homestead that is housing Grogu as we get to see not only just how good of show that The Mandalorian is in the first place something which we do get to see brief glimpses of at the start of the episode but we also get to see alot of cool moments like for example IG-11 taking alot of fire just so The Mandalorian can take out someone with a really big and more powerful gun that's right in front of them with the whole thing just being so cool to watch and while that whole sequence doesn't really last all that long when you think about it it would have been great if that scene had lasted alot more longer just so us the audience could really feel the danger that the characters are as this is basically a life or death situation and while it is a really good action scene just having the characters take there time to to really make the bigger moments be all the more impactful would have made it better with the rest of the episode action scenes being just as well in  my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst this was a really good episode only time well tell if The Mandalorian And Grogu will catch on as don't forget alot of the mainstream audiences wouldn't have watched this show in the first place and therefor won't know who these characters are in the first place, with this first episode being a really good debut episode for what was a really good first season of this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me and RIP Tom Kane.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com  and the official Star Wars fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great the official Star Wars fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
