My First Impressions Of Aquaman: King Of Atlantis

 

So then Aquaman is a character that the vast majority of the characters existence has been treated as a joke by die hard comic book ad casual fans alike. Well that all changed when in 2018 the character git his big budgeted live action movie and suddenly everybody Aquaman but a joke and well after years of Aquaman fans telling us none Aquaman fans that Aquaman isn't a joke there is now an animated TV event miniseries which reverts Aquaman back to being and well you just know that I have to check this series out the first chance that I got and well the first evert episode of this TV event mini series dropped yesterday and so here are my first impressions of the TV show / TV series that looks exactly like Thundercats Roar with the TV show / TV series in question being called simply just "Aquaman: King Of Atlantis" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Aquaman and Mera go to find out what happened to a missing outpost that has been missing / offline for seven years. Now then in terms of what I thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this episode was at best OK at best since this episodes plotline was just s freaking generic that it could have been applied to the plot of any episode since there's nothing that's in the plot of this episode that makes it perfect for an Aquaman story in my opinion anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Cooper Andrews as Arthur Curry / Aquaman , Gillian Jacobs as Mera and Thomas Lennon as Vulko. Also starring in this episode is Dana Snyder as Ocean Master and as Robot Hands , Andrew Morgado as Mortikov , Flula Bory as Mantis , Chris Jai Alex as Toby , Kimberly Brooks as Hammer , Robbie Daymond as Finhead , Kevin Michael Richardson as Ring Announcer and as an Orca and Kaitlyn Robrock as Gillian / Merdussa.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking episode was actually fairly OK at best. I say this because the actors that are appearing in / starring in this very freaking episode are clearly trying to make this script work but even they cannot make this script and that hinders the overall quality of this episodes performances in my opinion anyways / at least.

Doing the animation for this episode and i'm assuming the rest of this three episode TV series event mini series is is Studio Lam or Studio 1am since I have to get the name of whoever is doing the animation for this show of off the shows closing credits and so I can't quit tell if it reads as Studio Lam or as Studio 1am but I know that it's either one of those two tho. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in a word trash and that is me being very freaking kind about this episodes animation because the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very episode is that freaking bad in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now so then when the trailer for this show was first released there were alot of comments online all of which said basically the exact same thing which is that this show looks exactly like Thundercats Roar and yeah it does. Which makes since considering that the guy who created Thundercats Roar is working on this show as is pretty much all of the creative team that worked on Thundercats Roar and well considering that Thundercats Roar got cancelled after one season means that things don't really bode all that well for his particular / very / exact show in my opinion anyways / at least.

Not really helping things is the fact that all of this shows main characters seems to have just two personality traits. With Arthur Curry / Aquaman being the dumb but reasonable one , Mera being the tough but dumb one , Vulko being the nerdy but dumb one and Mantis being the over aggressive but dumb one. So you see all of this shows main cast of characters are all he something and dumb one which for any kind of show is not a good thing whatever in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then you may be wondering why i'm being so hard on this show and that's because this show is a kids and kids deserve better then this piece of freaking trash. Since yeah that's what this show and this episode it's trash granted it's fairly well made trash but something that's trash is still just that it's trash and when this is the only kind of entertainment that kids have these days and then that's all there going to accept when there older and that's not a good thing in the longer and longest run in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this episode like the other two episodes in this miniseries has / had a grand total running time of forty five minuets and forty nine seconds. Which drags out an already thinly drawn out story and makes in even thinner in my opinion anyways / at least since this story only has enough plot for eleven minuets at the most and as such this episode at least should have at the very least eleven minuets long / in length in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then even tho this show is indeed an action this show also is a comedy show that's done in the vain of Thundercats roar because that's apparently that's what we all want from our superhero animated TV shows now. However tho in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual action that's actually featured in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was average at best which for the very first episode a debuting action show is not a good thing at all in my opinion / anyways / at least.

Overall just based of this one episode alone I feel that it's safe to say that this show makes the early seasons of Teen titans Go look like a complete and total masterpiece just by comparison alone in my freaking honest opinion 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 post which means that with this post being a first impressions post I will not be giving you a rating for this episode simply because these are my first impressions of the show itself and not an actual review of the actual show itself / in question.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official HBO Max fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from the actual film its self being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this film all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

Looney Tunes Cartoons First Batch Of Episodes Review

Looney Tunes fans the Looney Tunes brand has seen it's highs and it's lows over recent years and well the Bugs and the gang are back with a new series of shorts. Which like the rest of you I was really looking forward to seeing I watched alot of the previews that were released on line in the days leading up the series release and since there's a lot of episodes being released i'm doing this review in huge batches and so here is my review of the first batch of episode for "Looney Tunes Cartoon" enjoy.

Now as you'll all no doubt know this show doesn't have a plot line since its a series of shorts and as such each short will have a different plot so for example one short see's Porky and Daffy as firefighters while another would see Bugs Bunny trying to watch a baseball game. I'll admit that the set ups for each cartoon can indeed be funny but more often then not the shorts don't go all the way with the ideas behind the setups which is a shame.

Starring in the series is Eric Bauza as Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck,  Tweety , Pepé Le Pew and Marvin The Martian and Bob Bergen as Porky Pig. Also starring in the series is Jeff Bergman as Sylvester , Elmer Fudd , Foghorn Leghorn and Ralph Wolf , Fred Tatasciore as Yosemite Sam , Taz , Sam Sheepdog and Gossamer , Candi Milo as Granny and via archive audio the late Paul Julian as Road Runner.

For me the voices in this series are a very mixed bag because while alot of the voices are indeed good there are others that just don't work as well. Take for example Eric Bauza as Bugs Bunny while his performance in the show is indeed good the voice just doesn't work for me since it doesn't sound like Bugs and the same goes for Candi Milo as Granny she puts in a good performance the voice just isn't there yet and there are plenty of others that are like that which is a shame because performance wise the acting is spot on in my opinion.

Now what makes this show stand out is that there's a bunch of different animation studios working on each short film. Which for me is a good thing because it allows each studio to leave there mark on the franchise as well as show us what they can do as a studio , that being said the animation in the shorts is honestly really good heck i'd dare say that it's feature film quality that's how good the animation is in my opinion.

The animation in these shorts also gives the shorts some of that classic Looney Tunes feel in my opinion. Which while it won't be noticeable in the character animation you can defiantly notice it in the backgrounds and indeed in some of the character designs , I honestly feel that this is a good thing because it helps recapture the spirit of the original shorts something which alot of recent Looney Tunes products haven't done.

As alot of you will know this show is airing on HBO Max which is a new streaming service from Warner Bros. From what I can gather there taking the same approach that Boomerang took when they aired Wabbit / New Looney Tunes where they release a whole bunch of episodes at once which for a show that's meant to have eighty episodes makes a lot of sense instead of releasing it either all at once or in weekly instalments which would just not work for this show.

Each episode is around eleven minuets long and is made up of usually three shorts with the middle short being around thirty seconds at most and the other two being around for or six minuets each. I honestly think is the right think to do for this show since the stories that they tell but at the same time I do wish that some of the shorts where a bit longer just due to how much fun I was having watching them.

Now even tho i'm a bit of a Bugs Bunny fan I have to admit that there are far to many shorts featuring the character in this first batch of released episodes. Over half of the shorts feature Bugs and that for me is far to many since it doesn't give enough time to show us the other Looney Tunes characters , I get why there showing us a lot of Bugs Bunny cartoons because he is the mascot for the Looney Tunes franchise but there's only so many times you can see him up against Elmer Fudd before you get bored watching it.

Another thing that I didn't like is that they had screwy Daffy in almost all of his shorts and to me at least that version of Daffy just isn't that funny. I personally find the Daffy that we see when ever he goes up against Bugs to be more funny but for some reason Warner Bros really like screwy Daffy since this is the version of the character that got in Wabbit / New Looney Tunes as well so weather or not they find this version of the character easier to market to young kids I don't know but that's just what I think.

Another thing that I didn't quite like that much is the fact that for alot of his shorts they had Daffy paired up with Porky Pig for some reason which I wouldn't mind that much except those are the only shorts in which Porky appears as well. Hell in this first batch of episodes there's only one short in which Daffy appears with someone else and that's in the short "Plumber's Quack" where he appears with Elmer Fudd and once again is his screwy self and there's one where Daffy appears on his own called "Bubble Dum" which rather rightfully uses his screwy persona.

As you guys will now this is a comedy series and that means that we have to talk about the comedy in this first batch of episodes. For me the comedy was very hit and miss which isn't necessarily a bad thing since all comedy is subjective , however I will say that when a joke does indeed work it works really freaking well it's just a shame that all of the comedy is slapstick and none of the classic Looney Tunes wordplay is anywhere to be found in this batch of episodes which is a shame in my own humble opinion.

  

Overall this was a solid first batch of episodes they did a really good job of trying to capture the magic of the original shorts which while the animation succeeded in doing so the humour and the writing didn't So yeah it's a very mixed bad I can say for sure that it's better then Wabbit / New Looney Tunes ever was and when this show is good it's really freaking good as such this batch of episodes gets a 7 out of 10 from me and yes I will be reviewing each batch of episodes whenever they release on HBO Max.
