Cosmic Princess Kaguya Film Review

Anime films are things that when there done well they can be really good and yet when there done badly they can be bland and forgettable. With the film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being somewhere in the middle as while it is a good film it doesn't take all of the risks that films like Akira and Ghost In The Shell took with the film being a very middle in the road type of film and so then join me as I review the film that tackles the world of streaming with the film in question being called simply just "Cosmic Princess Kaguya" enjoy.

The plot of this film when an overworked teenager finds herself looking after an alien being that wants to be a streamer she has to quickly grow up. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with the plot of this film being one that can at times be fun but at the same time it also doesn't take enough risks with it's plot with it being very predictable as you can tell where this film is going right from the moment that it starts which is something that does make this films plot feel pointless but at the same time tho this films plot is one that can be seen as being really fun yet it's also not the kind of plot that you'd expect to see in a film rather it's the kind of plot that would work alot more better as the plot of a TV show as the films plot is very thin at best yet it is something that would work a whole more better as the plot of a TV show as then the plot doesn't have to be focused on all that much due to the episodic nature of a TV show and yet here whilst the plot does retain it's episodic nature it's really nothing that works all that well for a film as in a film you expect the plot to get alot more focus then what it really gets in this film with it really feeling like that this films plot is playing an afterthought to it's songs as it really feels like that the makers of the film wrote the songs first and put more effort into them then they did the films plot with the plot of the film not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Dawn M. Bennett as Iroha Sakayori , Jeannie Tirado as Kaguya and Ryan Bartley as Yachiyo Runami. Also starring in this film is A.J. Beckles as Rai Komazawa , Anairis Quiñones as Mami Isayama and Otako The Loyal Dog , Casey Mongillo as Noi Komazawa , Cassandra Morris as Fushi , Inudoge and Roka Ayatsumugi , Kieran Regan as Koto Okotteru and Max Mittelman as Akira Mikado.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty alot more better then what it really had any to be. With this films acting being alot more better then what it really should have been as nobody expects good acting in a Netflix anime film and yet that's exactly what we got in this film with it being made clear as day that the makers of this film really did cast the best possible actors for this film and yet at the same time thus films acting oddly feels like it's not as good as it perhaps could have been either as while this films actors aren't phoning in their performance by any means the actors oddly don't feel right for the parts with them all giving there characters the types of voices that you typically see in Netflix dubs which in this case does do alot more harm then good as it just reminds you that your watching a Netflix anime dub and really nothing more then that with the best actor in this film being Dawn M. Bennett as she has to get across the fact tat she's playing a confused character who is somehow emotionless all through her voice and that is something that she does do really well with her performance being a true highlight for the film with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that the films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Studio Chromato and Studio Colorido. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the films animation being really nice to look at which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of anime films do have really nice looking animation to them with the film having the kind of detail that is known in anime as it does look like that you can read all of the signs that we see in the film and yet when the film goes into this virtual world with the characters the animation and the character designs do look a little bit flat when compared to there real world counterparts as there's no imagination in those designs when given that this film does take place in the virtual world which is something that does allow for the film to go wild with it's character designs and yet they play it safe by giving us designs that they know a few people will love and while the films characters do have these really fluid movements to them the characters do look a little bit stilted when it comes to the films musical numbers which is where the films animation does start to look a little bit cheap but at the same time tho you can see that there is a lot of love and effort put into this films animation as you can see all of the sweat and tears from the films animators in each and every frame of the film.

The film does give alot of thought to the world of streaming however it oddly plays it as something that pretty much guarantees fame and makes it look easy when it is anything but. As while the film does highlight alot of the work that goes into creating just one stream what the film doesn't tell you is that if you want to get somewhat well known or even get a regular audience then you have to be streaking for several hours for alot of days of the week and then maybe just maybe if you carry on doing that then you might be able to make it big but you also have to sacrifice alot of time with your friends and family just to make your dreams come true and yet this film really doesn't highlight any of that and to be fair it really doesn't need to as alot of the people who would be watching this film in the first place would know all of that in the first place and given that this is a fantasy film it is also believable that a newby streamer would be able to reach a level of success after barely being a streamer for a long time when it would have been more realistic to show her struggle and to show her question what type of content that she wants to stream in the first place as Kaguya gets all of her fame and success pretty much right after her first stream and while that is something that wouldn't happen in real life it is something that does work for the type of film that this is as it's clear that this film is one that's not bound by what would happen in real life as that would then call into question why the characters are singing songs every five minuets but it is something that should gave been mentioned even if it's just as joke made by one of the characters just to highlight how hard it is to make it as a streamer.

One of the key ideas behind this film is the relationship that people might have with their mother be that in a positive or in a negative way. As at the the start of the film it's revealed that Iroha and her mother are estranged due to the fact that her mother would control every single aspect of her life and yet over the course of the film she finds herself both saying and and acting like her mother when she was living with her and yet she still somehow manages to be a really good mother figure to Kaguya in her own right as while she is hard on her be it for spending to much money or for not cleaning up after herself she also goes to great lengths into helping her achieve her dream of becoming a streaming star even it means putting her own dreams of going to a prestigious university on hold with it being obvious that Kaguya really does look up to Iroha as her mother which was something that does make sense as it then allowed for Iroha to show of her more softer and caring side and also to help to show Iroha herself what it means to be a mother and while she might not forgive her mother for how she acted when she was living with her it does give a new understanding on how hard it can be to be a mother with the only thing that lets this down being the fact that the we don't get a scene with Iroha and her mother as then we could see Iroha make it up to her mother as she would have been able to see her in a different light but for one reason or another the makers of this film instead chose to include a scene like that when it would have made alot of sense to include that scene given te fact that one of the key themes of the film is all about motherhood.

This film is a musical with the songs being songs produced by six Vocaloid producers with there not being any list of who wrote what song in the film. With this film feeling like an advertisement for the films soundtrack as they stop the film to have a song every five to ten minuets which is a bit much for a musical as it leaves no time for us the audience to catch out breathes and heck you could even say that the film has music videos in it due to the fact that the film does take alot of breaks just for the songs when there could have been a much more organic way of including the songs in this film with the fact that it has quite alot of sings in it being something that could be seen as being annoying as they don't advance the story or the characters as there just there for the sake of their being a song number there and while the film does try to include some of them in organic ways by having the character of Kaguya putting on a concert in the virtual world where it would make sense for them to have a song the film would nine times out of ten just start a random montage and have a song play over it even tho they've just had a musical number and while fair enough they might have had a soundtrack to sell but that doesn't mean that they have to stop the film in order to tell a song just look at any Disney animated film from the nineties as good examples of how to integrate the songs into the film have them advance the plot and characters of the film as films like The Lion King or Aladdin for example would feel incomplete without there songs and yet here in this film you can cut out alot of the montage sequences and not miss anything that's important to the films plot with none of this films songs being that good as there all just the same type of song where someone sings about being happy which is fine for one song but when there all about that it does start to get a bit boring after a while.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly two hours and twenty two minuets and three seconds. With this film being alot more longer then what it really should have been as by all rights this film should have been around one hour and thirty minuets and not over two hours long with the film not even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time as the film only has about as much plot to cover one hour and thirty minuets and that's it heck the film even lasts longer then what it should it have been as when you think that the film is wrapping up it then carries on again for another fifteen minuets with this not being helped by the fact that this film doesn't even use it's running time all that wisely as the film film doesn't even take the time to fully develop it's plot as the film spends alot more time in giving us song after song which takes up screen time that could have been better spent in fully developing it's plot as the plot does feel more like an afterthought to the films songs where as if this was a TV show then the plot would get more of a chance to be more fully developed then what it is in this film and heck the film doesn't take the time to fully develop it's characters as all of the films characters come across as being very dull and boring characters with even main characters like Iroha and Kaguya not getting the character development that they should have gotten and while this might be fine for a TV show as then you could always argue that the characters would get there character development in other episodes given that this is a film then there should have been more of focus o plot and character development and less of a focus on giving us alot of songs but I really will admit that this film 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 film 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 film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film telling some decent jokes with Kaguya alot of the time nearly all of which re funny but it's the fact that the film the uses the kind of zany animation that you'd expect to find in Looney Tunes film that oddly holds the comedy back as while yes granted there are times where the animation does enhance the comedy there are also alot of time where the animation feels like it's holding it back and stopping rom being as funny as it could have been in the first place with the best joke in the film being when Kaguya first starts spending time with Iroha and her friends as all Kaguya does is eat pancakes which she says are better then the ones that Iroha makes which is something that does cause Iroha to grab Kaguya and run out of the cafe which was a nice a little joke and given that Kaguya is quite literally from a different planet it does make sense that she would find earth foods all the more tasty to eat and with Iroha it makes sense that she run it out in what can only be described in a way that's Sonic meets Looney Tunes as she is a pretty stuck up character who does have a good heart but really can't afford all that much with Kaguya getting alot of the films best jokes as she does come across as being a really hyperactive character who can make anything in this film be really funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is a hard to film as while it's clearly not that good of a film it's also not that bad either as there is alot of love and passion put into this film but if the makers of this film were willing to take alot more risks with the film instead of playing it safe then the film might have ended up being alot more better then what it actually is 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 film in this very film in this very review and a such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 ad 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 episode that I used in this very review 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 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 are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

WWE Raw January 5th 2026 Review

There's no doubt that the biggest show on Netflix was Stranger Things and given that Netflix also airs WWE Raw it would make sense that one day the two would sort of crossover with each other. Well that's exactly what has just happened on the latest episode of Raw with this being something that to there credit the WWE really did go over board promoting as they were pushing this episode for weeks on social media and well the episode has now aired and since I still love pro wrestling you all just knew that I had to check this episode the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the show that sees things get stranger with the show in question being called simply just "Raw" enjoy.

For once this episode really doesn't have much of a plot with the episode instead feeling like a free PLE and not an episode of a weekly TV show. Now then interms of what I 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 not that bad as even tho this show doesn't really have a plot as the whole idea behind this episode is to basically be a glorified PLE which is something that could have been seen as being a bad thing yet it is something that does oddly work in this episodes favor as the whole push behind this episode isn't the stories going into it altho that is a big part of it rather it's the fact that the episode is one big crossover of sorts with Stranger Things and that's really it and to be fair that's not really something that does require a lot of plot especially when your storylines can last months which is something that WWE do with it being made clear that this episode is also there to get more fans into watching pro wrestling and having a lot of plots be further developed in this episode could be something that might put them off watching next week as it doesn't matter if you get those new fans to watch this week what happens is if they come back and watch next weeks episode and if this episode did have a plot or carried on or advanced several plots it is something that they wouldn't be able to do and while it would have been nice if this episode did have a plot as that's something that the die hard wrestling fans would love it's also something that wouldn't really work in what is just a glorified PLE and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

The set for this show is as expected just the regular set for this show with the thing that sets it apart this week being he fact that there's alot of things tied into Stranger Things planed not only where the stage is but all over the place as well. With it seeming like the WWE wanted to let you know that this episode was tieing in with Stranger Things as they have branding for that show all over the place with the coolest part of that branding being at the top of the stage where they have what is quite possibly the entrance to the Upside Down where the wrestlers make there way to ringside which was a nice little touch but at the same tie tho given that this is meant to be a special episode of the show it would have been nice if they went over board and used some of that Netflix money to give us a more unique looking set as the one that they give us in this episode is nothing more then the regular set and that's it and while that would be fine if this was just an average episode of the show the fact is this isn't just an average episode of the show as this is one that both WWE and Netflix have been promoting all of the time and therefor it should have been treated as something special and part of that does mean giving the show a unique looking set as that would help to make the show feel more special even if it's something as simple as making the main LED screen slightly bigger it's something that would have gone a long way into making this episode feel more special and yet all they do is slap the Stranger Things logo on the LED screen and have some props from that show spread all around the stage which does look nice but it's not enough to make this episode feel all the more special then what they've been making it out to be on social media.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual set 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 set that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes set just being the set that they use for the show and really nothing more then that it is still a set that looks really good butt it's hard to say that this set is one of the best Raw sets of all time as this show did have some really good looking sets in the 2000's but for modern WWE this set does look really good but again as was just mentioned it would have helped this episode out quite a lot if they did come up with an original set as they have the money to make one and heck if they wanted to save money they could have made so that the set could then be used for special episodes or things like Saturday Nights Main Event or something like that and yet all they did was just use the typical main series set which oddly enough does make this episode feel alot less special as they do the bare minimum to make it look different when in this episode they should have gone all out in making it look as good as they possibly could have done as as right now the set feels like the set that they would use for a Christmas episode of the show where they do the bare minimum but there it makes sense as alot of there staff aren't there at that time to make the set as good as it could have been where as here they working with a full staff and yet they didn't create a unique set and don't get me wrong this set does make the show stand out from all of the other episodes of this show but given that they really did push this episode for weeks before it even aired it would have been better if they went over board with making a new and unique looking set for this episode.

To be fair even tho this episode really hits you over the head with the Stranger Things iconography they do also do alot of really cool things with it as well. With the episode quite literally turning things upside down at the start of the episode which was a really cool thing and then you add in the fact that they have unique transitions which feature characters from Stranger Things which do look really good and it is something that does show that the WWE was putting alot of care into this episode which is something make alot of sense as this episode is the first episode of Raw in the new year with the crossover aspect of this show being done more subtly then what it really could have been as if this was under the Vince McMahon era you just know that he would have done something crazy and over the top just to really make it obvious that this is a tie in episode of the show and yet as this show is under the Triple H era it's done alot more subtly with all of the cool things that we got from this tie in being nothing more then things that are on video and nothing more then that heck none of the cast and crew from the show even make an appearance in the episode which granted does make this tie in pointless as they could have had the cast take part i some backstage segments and maybe do some segments in the ring as well and yet the WWE didn't do any of that with all the things that they do do being these really cool little things that you don't get to see on the average episode of Raw with the only down thing being the fact that they play the Stranger Things theme song alot of the time which is bit of over kill especially when you only need to play it the once and that's really it.

When this tie in was first announced and first being promoted I and i'm sure many others immediately wished that this episode was alot more better then the Army Of The Dead tie in that the WWE did at Wrestlemania Backlash 2021. As on that PLE they straight up had two wrestlers compete in a match while surrounded by zombies and then had a further two zombies get eaten by those zombies where as here the tie in aspect was done in much more subtle with the focus being more on the wrestling side of things then in the tie in side of things which is a great to do something like as that is something that the wrestling fans will love this however doesn't make this tie in that good as outside of the set and graphics there's nothing to say that this is a tie in with Stranger Things which is were having things like the cast and crew appear on the show would have helped things out as it would been a really subtle thing to do and it wouldn't take away from the wrestling aspect of the show either and yet for one reason or another the makers of this episode instead chose not to that which again makes it pointless for this episode to be a tie in episode and while it's easily better then the Army Of The Dead tie in was that's not really saying all that much as it would have been fun to see some wrestlers interacting with the cast of the Stranger Things heck they could have had R-Truth confuse the actors from the show with there characters and treat them as there characters which sis something that would been true to his character and it would have been really fun to see in this episode but in all fairness not having the cast and crew of the show appear in this episode does also work for this episode as it keeps the focus on what it should have been that being the wrestling.

This episode is pretty much here just to provide Netflix with some synergy between two of it's shows and that's really it/ Which is fine but at the same time you have to wonder why the WWE why not have it be with something like Wednesday or one of there animated shows as there really isn't much crossover interms of fan support between both of the shows whereas alot of people that would love Stranger Things would also love something like Wednesday as those two shows are very similar in style and tone whereas having it be with WWE a brand that changes it's tone with every segment and has nothing to do with horror it makes no sense for them to team up for this episode but as this episode could serve as a great way for Stranger Things fans to see what the WWE is all about then you really can't go wrong as this episode does give you some good stuff but at the same tm this isn't the company at there best either with this episode just straight up dropping nearly all of the Stranger Things heavy talk after the first few segments and then they only mention the show by name once or twice and that's really it but to this episodes credit for a show like Stranger Things it really would be hard to do a proper tie in that appease fans of both shows and would get people from either show to watch the other with the makers of this show doing the best with what they had to work with and to be fair they do make the most of it even tho alot of the stuff that they give us would have been better served if it was on a PLE and not just a regular episode of the show and if this episode does get some fans of Stranger Things to watch Raw then great as they can very easily watch alot of the past episodes on Netflix and hopefully that will then make them fans of this show.

There was one thing that was really annoying to watch that being the fact that alot of the time the show does cut to black. With this happening very early on in the episode where it happens seemingly every few minuets which is just pointless as there doing it just for no reason whatsoever now if this show was still airing on regular TV and not on Netflix you could then make the case that this is were the show was cutting to a commercial break but it doesn't air on TV anymore it airs on Netflix which makes those fades to black pointless and annoying with the other thing that was kind of annoying was that for a wrestling show there was very little wrestling on the show itself as there was only four matches on the entire show and while that is close to the norm for the Triple H era as he has put more of focus on quality rather then quantity you still need to have alot more wrestling happen on your wrestling show and yet here the episode was filled up more with interviews and backstage segments then it was in actual wrestling which would be fine if this was a PLE as by then all of the build up for that event would have been and the event it self would just be the pay off to alot of the stories being told but here it's just another episode of the show and yet it's being treated like it was a PLE which is great for match quality but we still want to see more wrestling matches happen on this show heck there's alot of wrestlers who could have done something literally anything on this show that weren't featured as the makers of the episode were alot more focused on letting us know that this is a special crossover episode with Stranger Things then they were in giving us a good episode in it's own right.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running tome of exactly two hours and twenty seven minuets and twenty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have and while this show doesn't really have a plot to cover that amount of running time in the first place alot of the shows matches are really well paced with none of the shows matches lasting longer then what they really need to with the only match going near the thirty minuet mark being the shows main event and that's really it as alot of the shows matches are all under twenty minuets long which is a perfect amount of time for them to last which again makes you wonder why there wasn't one more match added to this card with the episodes running time actually being shorter then some of the shows other episodes where they usually run alot more closer to three hours in length and yet this episode really doesn't feel all that long with this being due to the fact that the episode does have a good balance of match time and interview time which is something that very easily could have skewed more in favor of either one which would have thrown of the episodes pacing as the episode does need to balance the amount of times that they mention Stranger Things , the amount of matches that they have and the some of the shows interviews and backstage segments as well as the one the in the ring segment with this being something that the show does really well with even the shows Stranger Things aspect being alot more fun then what it really could have been as well as that is something that very easily could have been seen as being to campy and on for to long and yet here those aspects of the show run for just the right amount of time 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 wrestling show that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual wrestling 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 wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having some really good wrestling in it be it from the opening women's tag team title match between The Kabuki Warriors and Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky or even the match between a returning Liv Morgan and Lyra Valkyria bottom line there is a lot of really good matches to be found in this episode altho given that only one match features the men and the rest of the women it does make this episode feel like a version of WWE Evolution and not an episode of Raw with the best wrestling match on the whole show being the amin even match between CM Punk and Bron Breakker as even the the ending was overbooked with there being far to many things happening just ti set up the end of the match the match it self was really well done with there being some really good looking moves done by both people with the match itself being very hard hitting with part of makes this match so good being the fact that the match had the time that it really needed to be this fun and crazy match and while the opening tag match also had that it's ending really did feel a bit rushed with it feeling like that they were just rushing to get to the end this match really was just hard hitting action that alot of wrestling fans might like in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall interms of tie ins go this one is easily better then Wrestlemania Backlash 2021 was as this episode whilst it didn't take the tie in aspect as far it really could have done it took it just far enough for the episode to be enjoyable but this is an episode that won't be remembered and will be forgotten about by the larger wrestling fan base by at best next month as it's just that forgettable of an episode 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 means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued 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 episode that I used in this very review 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.

Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 SPOILER FILLED Review

To say that Wednesday has been a huge hit for Netflix would be like saying that The Lion King 1994 was a great movie. As this show has proven that there is still life to be found in the The Addams Family brand with this shoe being so successful that a third season of the show was announced not long before this second season started airing and well part two of season 2 has just dropped and you all knew that I had to check out these remaining four episodes out the first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the batch of the episodes that has something in it that was spoiled in the trailer for this batch of the episodes with the in question being called simply just "Wednesday" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is with Enid's upcoming death coming closer and closer Wednesday must find a way to prevent it from happening once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the plot of these episodes being at best pretty decent but in saying that tho the plot to the first four episodes was more better as it while it did lean in heavily on the friendship between Enid and Wednesday it also had a genuinely compelling story to tell where as here with this batch of episodes it was missing having a really compelling story that makes it worth sitting through these four episodes with it feeling as if the makers of the show only had enough plot for about five episodes and somehow had to find a way to stretch that plot out to eight episodes as there are alot of things in this batch of episodes that could have been left out and nothing that's actually important to the plot of these episodes would have been missed as alot of what we get in these four episodes being nothing more then filler episodes as they add nothing to the overall plot of the season which was a really good plot it's just that it could have used a bit more focus in these final four episodes however tho in saying that the plot for these four episodes was one that was still really good as it does still work as a plot it's just that the plot to the previous four episodes was the more stronger of the two plots with the plot of these episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's not really all that surprising as as every single episode of this show has had some really good acting in it and therefor it does make sense that all of the acting in these four episodes be just as good as alot of the actors that are in these four episodes are either A reprising their roles from other episodes of the show or B just some really good actors in there own right either way it does mean that we are always going to be getting some really good acting in this show from all involved with the best actor in these batch episodes both a tie between Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers for no other reason then what they do in episode six of this season as without giving anything away about that episode both of those actors do something that would have been really hard for even the best actors to pull off and yet they somehow manage to it and do it well with there acting together in these episodes being really good as you get to see the struggle that each of them goes through in these batch of episodes and it is something that really does shine through in the actors performances with the acting that's in these vert episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes are so good that all this shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are a written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

Doing the CGI for these episodes is Alter Ego , CoSA VFX , Folks VFX , Herne Hill Media , Incessant Rain Studios , Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies , PowerHouse VFX , Rocket Science VFX , Rodeo FX , Scanline VFX , Take 5 VFX , VFX Legion and WeFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these episodes was in all honesty really good as while the effects of The Hyde creature still don't look that good as the creature does have a very cartoonish looking design to him here in these episodes he mostly kept in the dark which is something that does help out alot even more o when you take into account that creature's design is more laughable then it is scary and given the fact that this season put alot more focus on horror it does make sense that The Hyde would be featured alot more in shadows and darkness with alot of the other effects in these episodes being really good as all they are are simply background replacements and set extensions alot of which you won't really notice unless your actually looking for it with the show in general putting alot of focus on doing effects for real instead of in an computer which is something that's to be applauded as practical effects will always trump CGI effects any day of the week as CGI effects even when there done really well will always date really quickly where as when practical effects are done just as well can be timeless and the fact that the makers of this show are only using CGI when it's needed and not when they want to does say that they have a passion for doing things practically.

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

There was one thing that really should have been kept hidden in the trailer for these episodes and that's the fact that we get the return of Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems. With her now being Wednesday's new spirit guide which is something that would have been a really cool reveal were it not in quite literally the opening shot of the trailer for these episodes and even then it could have been argued that it was in there because they might be faking us out and maybe it's someone else that's her new spirit but nope they don't do any of that which now means that people who did see the trailer for Part 2 would have gotten a huge plot twist spoiled for them as yes people would have been watching the trailer just due to the fact that this show does have quite the fanbase they even could have hid who it was by filming new footage with another actor just to be in the trailer so why they chose to reveal what admittedly isn't that big of a spoiler in the trailer is so weird but thankfully they didn't spoil the fact that we get a pretty cool cameo from Casper Van Dien where he plays someone who helped to con Bianca's mom years earlier and is back working with Principal Barry to con Grandmama out of her money only for him to get turned into ash when Dort turns on him because he wanted a fair share of the money with these episodes having plenty of scenes in them that thankfully didn't get spoiled by the trailer for these episodes but it still weird that the makers of this show would openly choose to spoil something that's a small twist in the plot in the trailers for these episodes but then not do anything new or even interesting with that twist.

If you all saw the last Wednesday review I did you'd know that I had a theory about who a certain character was and well I was wrong. As the person that I thought that Wednesday saved at the end of episode four would turn out to be Ophelia Frump it turns out that the person that she rescued was Francoise Galpin who is Tyler's mom which is a bit of weak reveal even more so when the show does nothing with it as she openly says to Morticia that Wednesday is her angel for rescuing her when she gave up all hope on ever seeing her son again and yet she spends the vast majority of these remaining four episodes trying to kill her all because her recent discovered brother Isaac Night who prior to getting his own name back was Pugsley's pet zombie Slurp wants her dead which does make it seem like the makers of this show really had no idea what to do with her character as there is alot of flip flopping around when it comes to her character as one episode she openly wants to kill of the entire Addams Family even tho Wednesday saved her life just a few episodes prior and then the next she's not willing to hurt anyone with her being more then happy to help out her brother and son from the sidelines while they risk their lives to get her to this machine that will remove her own Hyde like powers from her and thus save her life in the process and while we do get a glimpse of Ophelia at the end of episode eight it's literally just a cameo to set up the fact that she might be appearing in the next season of the show when it would have made more sense for her to be the one that got rescued by Wednesday in this season given the fact that they kept on mentioning her all the time and while showing us Tyler's mom was a solid plot twist the writing for the character really did let her down even down to the fact that she and her brother act really creepy when there around each other as well which is something that does put you off of both characters.

Speaking of the villain in these four episodes Isaac Night is actually alot more better of a villain then what Judi was earlier on in the season. As Isaac does at the very least act like a threatening villain who really does believe that he's doing the right thing by trying to kill of first Gomez and then Pugsley and finally the entire family with his end goal even being one that is quite noble as the only thing that he wants to do is to make his sister better and prevent her from dying and that's really it which is a noble goal it's only how he goes about it that makes him evil with him even showing that he does somewhat care for Tyler as in the final episode at his sister request he does use his powers put Tyler on the table that he was going to put his sister on and starts to use the machine of him to strip Tyler of his yde like powers as his mom does now just how deadly that these powers could be when they don't have a master to control and while Wednesday does eventually rescue Pugsley it is something that does course Tyler's mom to use her Hyde powers and thus Wednesday has to free Tyler and so that he can now use his powers to engage his mother in a chase something which does end up with her dying with Isaac even holding his own secret as well as it's revealed that his body is the one that Thing once came from which was a really unique twist as it does give a character that gets very little backstory now getting some lore added to him with it even playing into the episodes third act as it's Thing not Wednesday that defeats Isaac which was something that does make alot of sense as Things whole thing this season has been all about trying to work out wear he belongs an therefor him working with the family that truly loves him instead of the person that was quite literally using him to strangle Wednesday is something that does work well for his character.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then one hour and nine minuets. Which to be fair to these episodes is pretty much the exact grand total running tome for alot of the episode of the show as all of this shows episodes re usually around about the the hour mark with all of these episodes really having the right amount of the plot there to cover there respective episodes the issue is tho that there really should have been at least one more episode this season as the show goes from a plot driven episode in episode five to a filler episode episode to then suddenly having to wrap up all of the seasons storylines in episodes seven and eight which just isn't enough time to do all of that and when you add in the fact that the season starts of another plot with Enid being revealed as a possible Alpha wolf which means that if she transforms just once more under a full moon then she could remain that way forever something which she is forced to do when Isaac puts Wednesday is his own grave and both Agnes and Enid have to dig her out before it's to late only for it to only be possible for them to have Wednesday if Enid does transform and use her claws to dig her with this plot line feeling like nothing more then set up for season three as it adds nothing to the overall plot of this season with even the shows characters not really getting much development this season with the closest character to get much development being Pugsley and that's really it as the makers of the show seemed to be more focused on letting us know that this is a more horror focused season then in actually giving it's characters some well earned character development but I really will admit that these very episodes really do have some really good pacing to them 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 these very episodes and well hen in all honesty i in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With there being alot of painfully moments in these batch of episodes alot of which do work really well as they feel true to the characters ad true to the world that this show takes place in with Wednesday having alot of funny one liners alot of which are really funny with Wednesday herself getting the episodes best joke as in episode six both she and Enid have a Freaky Friday moment where they both end up in each others body and when Wednesday as Enid does something that the actual Enid doesn't like as it effects her personal life Enid as Wednesday gets back at her by having her dress in all of these bight and colorful clothes and by going around acting happy and hugging everyone that she meets all the while getting remembered that Wednesday really is allergic to color as she starts itching all over herself all of which is being filmed by some of the students which is just such a funny joke and it makes what is basically a pointless filler episode seem all the more worthwhile as you get see both Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega switch bodies and try to act as the others characters whilst still being there own character with that scene being the funniest scene in all four of these episodes this is despite the fact that all four of these episodes have some really funny moments in them as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall out of the two halves part one was definitely the stronger of the two halves as there was a more interesting plot going on in those episodes where as here whilst there is a more weaker plot the pay off to the plots in part one and the set up for season three was really good in it's own 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 these very episodes in this very review and that does mean that these episodes really do earn themselves a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 and the season as whole earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now the as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys an girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official The Addams Family 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 these very episodes with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Wednesday: If These Woes Could Talk SPOILER FILLED Review

It really is safe to say that Wednesday is one of the best shows on Netflix right now with the show even being confirmed for a third season before it's second season had even started airing. Speaking of the second season we are now just a week away before the release date of the final four episodes of this season as such it was only about right that I review the mid season finale for the show and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that might have a more obscure cameo from a member of the Addams Family in it with the episode in question being called simply just "If These Woes Could Talk" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Fester and other members of the Addams Family find themselves helping out Wednesday in he investigation but something happens that will shake Wednesday to her very core. Now then interms of that 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 with this episodes plot being the kind of plot that you could see working as a plot to an Addams Family movie as the plot of this episode is that big and is that epic but at the same time tho it is a plot that does work well enough for a mid season finale as well as while it does solve one mystery it doesn't resolve the other mystery either which is great as that then gives us more reasons to watch the second half of season 2 with this episodes plot also being an oddly fun episode as well with the only real downside plot wise being the fact that it feels more like the plot of a Fester spin-off show then it does an episode of this show as this episode is a little bit more weird and out there with it's plot where as with the typical Wednesday plot it's usually alot more mysterious with things being drip fed to us the audience and while having a plot that's kind of out there does work for this character as all of the members of the Addams Family are very out there characters it also feels like that it's going against the style of plots from the rest of this show as well 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 this shows executive producer Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort. Also starring in this episode is Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair , Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin , Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay , Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger , Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus , Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams , Owen Painter as Slurp , Billie Piper as Isadora Capri , Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago , Victor Dorobantu as Thing , Noah Taylor as Bruno Yuson , Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille , Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn , Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff , Joonas Suotamo as Lurch , Heather Matarazzo as Judi , Frances O'Connor as Francoise Galpin , Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill , Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams.

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. With all of this episodes actors turning in some really good performances which is something that really does make alot of sense as alot of this episodes actors are reprising their roles from the previous season and therefor do have a better grip on how best to portray there respective characters but even those that joined the show in this season are still really good with alot of them being more then capable of holding their own acting wise when it comes to acting against the more established series stars and while it would be very tempting to say that Jenna Ortega is the best actor in this episode the fact is that that's not even close to being true as that honor goes to Fred Armisen who does make for a really good Uncle Fester with him more then capturing the characters more eccentric nature whilst also showing us that much like his niece he to does use people alot of the time and while Fred won't ever be able to top what Christopher Lloyd did with the characters in the nineties movies he does take the character and make him his own in this episode which is something that does make the character feel fresh and new all over again with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that the scrips for this episode is just so good that all this episodes 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 episode. 

Doing the CGI for this episode is Alter Ego , CoSA VFX , Folks VFX , Herne Hill Media , Incessant Rain Studios , Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies , PowerHouse VFX , Rocket Science VFX , Rodeo FX , Scanline VFX , Take 5 VFX , VFX Legion and WeFX. 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 not that bad as this episodes CGI was for a streaming TV show really impressive but at the same time tho The Hyde creature whilst it does look better in this episode still looks a little bit like a cartoon with the only reason that it looks so good in this episode being due to the fact that the camera doesn't really focus on it much and when it does the episode quickly cuts away from it which does help things but at the same time tho the creature still looks pretty bad and if this is something that's not going to be fixed then the makers of this show will have to consider not using The Hyde as a character as the fans of this show have been saying since season 1 that it doesn't look that good and whilst it does look a little bit better this season it's still a bad looking creature with the rest of the episodes CGI mainly being background replacements and set enhancements all of which do look pretty good as those are the only reason as to why CGI should even be used in the first place as all your doing is changing things that couldn't be done on the day as there shouldn't be bad CGI doubles of characters as all those do is age the effects more quickly.

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

While there is one major name that I didn't mention in this review that of course being the fact that we have Dame Joanna Lumley as Grandmama she really doesn't do all that much in this episode and so it really wasn't worth mentioning her. However the character that does get to do quite alot in this episode is Uncle Fester so much so that at times this does feel like a test episode of a possible Uncle Fester spinoff show as while the episode does still tie into the main plot of this season and feature alot of the main actors there's alot more focus given to Uncle Fester then what there was last season where he only appeared in a guest role in one episode where as here he takes centre stage with Wednesday enlisting his help in finding out just who or what Lois is and what she or it has to do with Willow Hill Hospital which he does by willingly getting himself committed there which in all fairness to the episode does seem like something that he would do as is the fact that to him a mental hospital is more like a holiday which only serves to make all of his scenes in the hospital all the more fun to watch but at the same time tho we come to a show called Wednesday expecting to see her be the main character of the episode and yet here she felt more like the side character which again in all fairness to the episode might have been because of the fact that they might have been filming other episodes of the show and so it just worked out easier to have only be in a few key scenes in this episode but again they could have had play a more active role in the plot of episode instead of just sitting around alot of the time until the third act of the episode.

At the start of the review I mentioned that this episode might possibly feature a cameo from an obscure member of the Addams Family as if you recall when Fester and Wednesday are looking at the Lois inmates where there at Willow Hill. There's one character that doesn't get name checked in the episode and it's also the only one that Wednesday willingly helps at the end of the episode as well as I do very strongly believe that that character is Ophelia Addams as it does seem weird that they would shout out the names of alot of the other inmates but not her and given the fact that the character was said to be at that hospital it does sort of make sense that that unnamed character would be her with the episode even ending on a cliffhanger with Tyler in fully on Hyde mode throwing Wednesday out of a top floor window in the hospital and leaving her severely injured and while we know that she won't die as the show had already been renewed for a third season it was still weird that the trailer for part 2 of season 2 would straight up reveal that not only does she survive this incident but also that Larissa Weems is her new spirit guide something which would have been more of a surprise if we didn't know it was coming as then you could have the shock value of seeing Gwendoline Christie again in the show and we could also be left wondering if and how Wednesday did survive the fall at the end of this episode but now none of that is possible because of the fact that the first seconds of the trailer tells us not only is Wednesday alive and well but also just who her new spirit guide is in the first place as all that does is ruin what could have been some really cool surprises when the makers of this show wouldn't have had to have done that much promote season 2 part 2 as alot of people would have been watching it in the first place due to how popular that this show is in the first place.

Whilst this show has always had horror elements to it even dating back to it's first ever episode the show especially in the first season always found that perfect mixture between horror and comedy. This is something that was kind of lost in this half of season 2 with there being more of a focus on the horror aspect of the show then the comedy aspect of it with the worst example of this being in this episode where we get to see several characters including Marilyn Thornhill who quite literally gets stabbed in the back by The Hyde with other characters getting their brains eaten by Slurp and while it does make sense for them to have a heavier focus on horror in this episode in particular due to the fact it is the mid season finale and they do need to give us a hook for the rest of the season by focusing more on the one aspect not enough on the other it makes the comedy aspect of the episode seem alot more weaker in comparison when even the makers of this show have proven in season one that they can balance the two of them out really well by having these really dark jokes happen either just before or just after someone is killed off and yet here they got rid of all of that just to focus more on the horror aspect of the show and while yes there is still some jokes in this episode it kind of felt like that they were taking a backseat when compared to the shows horror elements and while yes The Addams Family has always been a horror brand they all knew when to tell a joke and when to be creepy and cooky as well with even the recent animated movies still having that fine balance between horror and comedy as you have to have that fine balance in order to be a horror comedy.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nineteen seconds. Which to be fair to this episode that is a perfectly solid running time for this episode with this episode having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while this episode doesn't really use it's running time by fully developing it's plot or it's characters it could be argued that both the plot of this episode and it's characters get developed in the previous episodes of the show which would be a fair argument as they do get alot of development in the other episodes and therefor they don't really need developing in this episode as there's nothing that the makers of this episode could have done without repeating themselves and with this episode being the mid-season finale they don't really need to develop any of it's plot or characters but what they could have done is give more screen time to characters that we're going to get to know about in part 2 like Grandmama for example who only appears in a few scenes before not being mentioned again in the episode and Barry Dort who again only gets a few scenes all of which just hit home the point that he's got something to do with the seasons big mystery and that's really it it still would have been nice if we got more scenes with either character as that could then make us the audience think either there evil or there good guys but because of the fact that the episode doesn't do that we get to find out very little about Grandmama and nothing new about Barry Dort is revealed in the episode 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 is 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 not that bad. As while the episode doesn't have that great of a focus on it's comedy we still get alot of really decent jokes in this episode with Fester getting alot of this episodes jokes which is something that does make alot of sense as the character does allow for there to be alot of weird jokes due to his own eccentric personality but at the same time tho it would have worked more in the episodes favor if the episode did have a fifty fifty balance between its horror aspect and its comedy aspect with even Wednesday getting a few decent one liners in tis episode but they don't top anything that Fester says or does in this episode as he does have alot of really funny jokes in this episode with the best joke in the whole episode being when Fester zaps Agnes DeMille just because of the fact that he can hear her lurking but then what really sells the joke is the fact that he then gives her advice on how to lurk in silence something which she happily takes on board which is a really solid joke and one that feels true to both characters and while the hotel bathroom scene with Fester is also really funny just due to how well done that that joke is it's also one that you know is an act because of the fact that he's openly trying to get himself committed where as the one with Agnes is one that you don't really see coming and therefor it catches you of guard due to how good of a joke that it is in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall if the ending of this episode is anything to go by then we are in for hell of ride next week when part 2 of this current season drops as this episode despite it feeling more like an episode for a Fester spinoff show then a Wednesday show is still a really good episode in it's own right 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 7.5 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 the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official The Addams Family 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 being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
