Power Rangers Time Force "Force From The Future" Review


There are alot of seasons of Power Rangers with some of them being better then others but there is one season that nearly all the people that love Power Rangers agree is a good season of the show. With it being the first two episodes of that season that i'm going to be taking a look at today just to see if it's as good as people say that it is and so then join me as I review the two part episode that has a really expensive looking first part and a really cheap looking second part with the episode in question being called simply just "Force From The Future" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Ransik an evil villain from one thousand years in the future escapes police custody and travels back to the year 2001 it's up to a bunch of police cadets to bring him back and stop and end to his evil schemes 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 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 would make for a really good Power Rangers movie plot with this episodes plot being movie quality good as that's just how good of a plot that this episodes plot really is and given that most plots for the first episode of Power Rangers are usually more in line with what to expect from the rest of the show at that point in time it's honestly refreshing to see a plot that actually takes chances and is actually alot more mature then what it really had any right to be as we straight up see the Red Ranger die in the first episode and how that impacts one of the other rangers as well which is something that Power Rangers didn't really do all that often and yet here not only do they do it but it's also forms apart of the Pink Rangers character arc as well with this episodes plot also being really rather entertaining and a well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Jason Faunt as Alex and Wesley "Wes" Collins and Michael Copon as Lucas Kendall. Also starring in this episode is Kevin Kleinberg as Trip , Deborah Estelle Phillips as Katie Walker , Erin Cahill as Jen Scotts , Brianne Siddall as The Voice Of Circuit , Edward Albert as Mr. Collins , Vernon Wells as Ransik , Kate Sheldon as Nadira , Neil Kaplan as The Voice Of Gluto , Eddie Frierson as The Voice Of Frax , Roy Werner as Captain Logan and Douglas Fisher as Philips.

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. Which is actually quite shocking for Power Rangers as this episodes acting is damn near close to being movie quality good as while yes there are few odd line deliveries here or there the acting from all of this episodes main actors is just so good that it makes you wonder why the makers of this show don't put more effort into finding actors who can actually act because when they do do that we get some really good performances out of the actors and that is something that is really true for this episode as it really is hard to say just who the best performer is in this episode as while it's clear as day that both Kate Sheldon and Vernon Wells are having the most fun being the evil villains of this season and really are just really hamming it up and that is something that really does shine through in both of there respective performances Erin Cahill for example is really treating seriously and we get a good performance because of it with the acting that in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all thus episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really 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.


As was stated at the very start of this review this episode is not only a two part episode but the first episode actually looks to be really expensive. With it being clear as day that the makers of this show put alot of effort and thought into that first episode as not do we see some really expensive looking practical effects but we also see some unique looking vehicle designs as well and yet when we get to the shows second episode none of that is present with episode looking like every other episode of Power Rangers in that it was done on the cheap for as little money as it humanly possible and while this wouldn't be a bad thing if the first episode looked cheap as well but as the makers of the show went out of there to show us what they can do when there given a budget to work with it makes all the more obvious when in the very next episode they just go back to how they've been doing things for nine years at this point in time but credit where it's due tho that kind of method of doing things cheaply and quickly has worked out well enough for them but at the same time tho it does also create this sort of whiplash as everything in the first episode looks so good and so expensive to make barring some projection shots and yet in episode to it really does look like it was made on less of budget then what both The New Addams Family and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation had combined as that's just how cheap looking that that second episode really does look when spending just as much money on that second episode would only make the episode look better then what it already does but it would also make it look like that it takes place in the exact same world as part one.


Whilst watching part one it was hard not to compare it to the first Mad Max movie as visually they do look the exact same. Which is by no means a knock on this episode rather it's meant as a compliment as it means that episode one looks like that it belongs in a feature length film where as episode two looks like that it belongs in the TV show spin off of episode one and it makes you wonder why the team behind Power Rangers didn't put as much effort into making the rest of the Power Ranger shows look like that they belong in a movie as they quite clearly have the talent needed to do so and while it might have been a budget thing as Haim Saban was notable for being tight with his money surely by spending more money on making the product look as good as it does then it would mean that you'd get more money back because not only would kids be watching the episodes more and more on a weekly basis but more importantly at least from a Power Rangers point of view they'd also be buying the toys as well which means that if the show not only had good stories and good characters much like in that first Mad Max film but also had some really great looking visuals then you' get more people watching the show and given the fact that this season has more of an adult edge to it it's also something that would have gone a long way into proving to people that Power Rangers can be more then just a show for little kids and that if it's done right and in the right way then adults can enjoy just as much if not more so then what the little kids can do as well.

This season of the show was rather notable for it being the first season of Power Rangers to feature a Pink Ranger that is actually the leader of the team. Which was not only a bold move back then but at the same time it's also one that really hasn't been done since then as while yes granted Wild Force had the pink ranger be the leader of the team but by the time episode one had finished that role had gone to Cole the red ranger and even tho Cosmic Fury did a have a female lead the team for real she was the red ranger and not the Pink Ranger with there also being dozens of more examples and yet it's in this season and this season only that we get the Pink Ranger leading the team and not only that Jen was actually a really well written character as well with her being the kind of character who is not only a stickler for the rules and being a by the book kind of cop but when things get to dangerous or if her ego is threatened she's the first one in there fighting the good fight with her even having a personal reason to wanting to seen Ransik put back in jail as he was the one that killed her fiancée Alex in the future which does create tension with her and Alex's descendant Wes as Wes just wants to do right by her but due to what she's gone through with Ransik in the future she's not willing to open herself up to the possibility of finding someone else and it's those things that she she not only has to deal with over the course of this season but also in these first two episodes as well with it also being something that does make her a really well written character and perhaps even one of the best written characters in all of Power Rangers history as well.


To be frank Ransik is pretty freaking scary and creepy looking villain for that matter with him having one side of his face covered in metal which hides a hideous looking scar. On top of that actor Vernon Wells also gives him a pretty knarly sounding voice as well as even tho he does seem to SHOUT alot of his words of dialog which granted could be seen as betting annoying really fast it is something that alot adds to the overall creepiness of the character as here is a character that demands your attention not only from how he looks but he acts as well as even tho he has a deep love for his daughter Nadira he also holds a deep and passionate hatred not only for Time Force as a whole but for human kind as well and while his hatred of human kind isn't reveled in these first two episodes it is something that does get reveled later on in the show with this character being the kind of character that is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and is willing to go to any lengths to make sure that the job gets done not only right but quickly and efficiently as well with him also willing to get his hands dirty as it's him that causes the death of Alex the original Time Force Red Ranger in the distant future something that no other main villain from any other Power Rangers season has done either before or after this season with them all mostly relying on that particualr seasons foot soldiers to do alot of the heavy lifting where as in these first two episodes it's Ransik himself that's doing alot of the heavy lifting which is something that really does make him stand apart from all of the main Power Ranger villains out there as it shows us that he really is dangerous and deadly character.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty six seconds and whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty six seconds as well. It's episode one that uses it's running time a bit more wisely as even tho both episodes really do have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time it's the fact that episode one takes a bit more time in setting up alot of the characters that are from the future and in showing us just how exactly the Power Rangers version of the future both looks and works that make it stand out as episode to doesn't really spend alot of time in setting up Wes as a character as we only get three scenes with him throughout the whole episode and yet we are somehow meant to feel something when he agrees to help the other Rangers morph for the first time and while it is perfectly understandable that this episode doesn't fully explore Wes's character just yet as there are thirty plus episodes for them to do exactly that you still need to give us something to go off of and when you compare this to what we get in episode one where all of the other main characters are set up in a way that it is believable that they would go into time just chase down this one bad guy it is something that makes Wes's lack of a character in episode to really stand out all the more because of it but I really will admit that this episode 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 gave 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 tought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. As while alot of this episodes action is rather rightfully saved for episode tow of this two parter episode the action that we got in part one whilst it was good in it's own storyline way it just wasn't as exciting as the action that got in episode two as in episode one we just got one Ranger fighting Ransik which was still cool to see but at the same time tho it didn't really look like that that episode used any fight footage from the shows Sentai counterpart Mirai Sentai Timeranger as Ransik is an original villain to Power Rangers where as with episode two because of the fact that they did get to use some of the Sentai footage we got to see all f the Rangers fighting as a team and while yes again granted the second episodes action also has it's problem like sloppy editing and pointless slow motion shots we did also get to see some really cool moves as well like Jen running on a wall just to take over several of Ransik's soldiers all by herself or with the team doing a poor impression of the bullet dodge scene from The Matrix which yes did look bad but it was still a cool move to see in this episode and while this episode did have some action in episode one it just couldn't compare to just how good the action in this shows second ever episode was as the action in this shows second ever episode is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall it's not hard to see why people love this season of the show as from both a visual point of view and a storytelling point of view it's alot more mature and grown up then what had come before it and what would come after it as well with it being something that does prove that Power Rangers is not just for little kids as it can also be for adults as well 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 episode one of this show really does earn itself a score grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from and episode two of this show really does itself a grand old score combined score of a exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me and this very episode really does earn itself a total combined 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 Power Rangers fandom wiki page , 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 the official Power Rangers 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 really 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 the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Daredevil TV Series "Cut Man" Review


We are now just a few short days away from the release of the latest live action TV series to featured the character of Daredevil and well since it's been a whopping FOUR years since I last reviewed an episode of this show. It only made sense that for this tie in review that I take a look at the shows second episode and so then join me as I review the episode that has a truly iconic fight scene in it with the episode in question being called simply just "Cut Man" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a nurse helps an injured Matt Murdock she finds herself swept up in a missing persons case. 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 with this episodes plot being shockingly violent and gory something that was all to common place with the Netflix Marvel shows with this episodes plot also doing a good of showing more of Matt's origin story which was something that does work well for this episode as at this point in the show we the audience are still trying to figure out if we like this character or not and therefor showing us just how he was growing up both before and after his accident does go along way into making us the audience care for the character and while there is a subplot with Karen and Foggy that does go nowhere as it's just there to be comedic relief and that's really it but even so because of the fact that the main plot of the episode was so interesting it felt like including this more comedic subplot was only added in because of the fact that the makers of this show felt like that they had to include those characters and not because of the fact that it's something that would benefit the episode as whole 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 Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Masked Man and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. Also starring in this episode is Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson , Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple , Peter Gerety as Sammy Silke , John Patrick Hayden as Jack Murdock , Skylar Gaertner as Young Matt Murdock , Alex Falberg as Semyon , Moisés Acevedo as Santino , Kevin Nagle as Roscoe Sweeney , Susan Varon as Josie and Dean Neistat as Officer Ray Peters.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting thats 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. Which is really nothing new as a good chunk of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors in there right and even tho this episode is still very early in the shows run they do manage to perfectly capture there characters and with the case of Rosario Dawson become a recurring character not only this show but alot of the other Marvel Netflix TV shows as well thus giving her ample opportunity to perfect her performance as her character and while her performance in this episode is still a good performance it's obviously not going to be as good as when she would play the character in later episodes of any of the Marvel Netflix TV shows as by then she would have had the chance to explore the character a little bit more with the same also being true for alot of the main actors in this episode as even tho there performances in this episode is still really good it's obviously not going to be as good as there performances in later Netflix Marvel shows but that is something that does tell you just how good this episodes actors really are as even in this episode really pretty much all of the performances are really good in there own right 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 of this episodes actors really have to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance really 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.


As alot of you well all no doubt remember this is the episode that does introduce us to the character of Claire Temple. With the character being the main linking point between all of the Marvel Netflix TV shows and it's easy to see why they used her character to fulfil that purpose as they made her a nurse which means that naturally any of the Netflix Marvel heroes could run into her just by going to the hospital where she works and seeing her kind nature in this episode with her willing to help her out Matt without knowing who he is and why he's injured just because it's the right thing to do does make her a kind person and seeing her struggle to come to terms with the fact that the person that she's helping isn't all he seems to be does oddly enough make her a real person as alot of us would also struggle to come to those same conclusions if we helped out someone only for it to turn out that there's more to them then meets the eye and seeing her struggle to come to terms with the fact that Matt is a good guy does make for an interesting character arc for her to have in this episode with it being easy to see why the show kept on brining her back as she does come across as being a really likable character and one that if given the right chance and the right script could have very easily have led a show of her own and given the fact that Disney likes to make shows with female leads it's shocking that they haven't made a superhero show with her character as the lead character.


What was really odd is the fact that they just straight up rip off Rocky's speech about how it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward from Rocky Balboa. Which was something that worked really well in that movie as the character had been through alot over the course of five movies and yet because of the fact that it's not only told in flashback but it's both Young Matt and his father Jack Murdock saying it to each other it looses all impact as while there version of it isn't all that bad as it's then just saying "It aint how you hit the mat it's how you get up" is still a really good motivational speech but Rocky's speech was done better as not only was it coming from a character that had become a cultural icon at that point in time but it was also a really well written speech about not giving up in the face of adversary with it also being a father just talking and trying to reconnect with his son where as here as both the characters still really love each other and both of them have no reason to spout such a saying just yet it's not really something that works in this context where as if this speech had happened after Matt had had his accident and not before it then there would at the very least be some sentiment behind it and heck if the makers of this show really wanted that speech to happen exactly the way that it does in the final cut of the episode then they could have brought it back in the same episode only this time have Jack saying it to young Matt as he's trying to calm him down from just having his accident as that way it would make some form of sense.

What was shocking was the fact that alot of the episode really does take place just at Claire's apartment with there really being very few other locations that we actually get to see in this episode. This is something that is kind of refreshing as it means that we get the chance to see how Claire reacts under pressure and when something new is thrown at her but at the same time tho as this show is still developing it would have been wise to show us more of New York and how the people in it react to certain as while yes we have the mainline MCU films for that as well we've never really seen from the ground level heroes and that is something that could be more interesting to see as daredevil unlike say Captain America , Thor or Iron Man for example can be beaten easily and by everyday people and yet we don't get to see alot of that world in this episode which does have the add on effect of making the episode feel alot more claustrophobic then what it actually is with it also oddly enough making the episode seem alot more cheaper then what it actually is as well and yet by showing us more locations even if it's the Karen and Foggy plot line it would then go along way to make this shows version of world building seem alot more better then what it already is because as things stand this show really doesn't have to do that much world building due to it taking place in the MCU and yet because of the fact that we haven't seen New York from the point of view of these ground level heroes it would be more interesting to see there version of New York.


Whilst it was a good idea to show part of the origin for Matt in this episode as it is something that does help to further endure him to us the audience. Given that this is Netflix and the show has a more mature rating they really could have showed us Jack getting killed instead of it happening off screen as he was a major influence on young Matt and while they approach that they take does make sense by only showing it from Matt's point of view and there putting us the audience into his shoes it also would have worked if they showed us the characters death as well as then they could really make whoever did kill him really more of a bad guy and heck they even could have had young Matt there to great his father after the fight which is something that would have made sense for that character and it would have given the older Matt more trauma as he would have witnessed his beloved father get killed thus not only starting his lust for vengeance but adding fuel to it at the exact same time but what let's the origin down is the fact they perhaps do a little two much of it which is something that does make sense given that this first season was only thirteen episodes but given that the whole show was all about Matt becoming Daredevil they could have ended the season with him having the flashback to his father getting killed in the final episode as that's where it could be argued that Daredevil was well and truly born where as having it here doesn't really make sense from a storyline perspective and yet if they did have the death flashback happen in episode thirteen then the makers of the show could have milked it for more trauma over the course of the season by showing us in flashback form just how much they each meant to each other and how good of a father that Jack was to Matt.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty two minuets and thirty eight seconds. Which was a pretty solid running time for this episode to have as this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to cover that running time but at the same time tho all of the scenes involving Foggy and Karen in this episode felt like filler scenes as they not only add anything to the plot of the episode they also add nothing to either character either with them just being there to eat up screen time that would have been better used if it was say given to Claire or Matt for example and yet because of the fact that the makers of this episode felt like that they had to use the Karen and Foggy characters we get a bunch of painfully unfunny scenes in an episode that was doing just fine without them and really didn't need any padding as all the episode would have to have done to reach that exact same running time is expand on it's main plot and that's really it and by doing that it would allow for the characters of Matt and Claire to start to form a friendship with each other and maybe who knows we could have gotten some of Claire's backstory outside of the fact that she once dated some guy called Mike and if anything she was the one that needed to have some of her backstory explored in this episode as this was her debuting episode and there for there needed to be a reason for us the audience to care about her character and while we do still get that reason due to her interactions with Matt it still means that we know less about her coming out of the episode then we did going into 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 an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action tat'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. With of course the best action in the whole entire episode also being the episodes only action scene and that being the truly epic and truly iconic hallway fight scene near the end of the episode with the thing that makes that action stand out from all of the other action scenes in other superhero shows not only being the fact that it takes place in one small location but also the fact that we see the villains openly using guns to try and fail to take down Matt and also the fact that the whole scene from beginning to end was done in long take which is something that's always going to be hard both for the director shooting it and the actors taking part in it as it means that everyone has to be on there A game and if one person just one messes up then they have to do the whole scene over again from the beginning and yet even tho there might have been one or two hidden cuts in there as they do go a random black shadow on the wall alot of the time the scene itself is well done as we get tot Matt pulling of alot of really cool moves with the scene itself being awsome and a true sign that if Marvel really does want to pull off a great looking and unique looking action scene then they really can do it as this scene right there is nothing short of proof of that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall with Daredevil: Born Again really coming out just a few short days this episode is a perfect one to watch in preparation for the new show as it shows you the character of Matt Murdock when he really was written at his best and here's hoping that the new show is good because it has some really big shoes to fill as both this show and this episode are just that good 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 hat 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 marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , 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 the official Marvel Cinematic Universe 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Wonder Woman 2009 Film Review


When people think of the films that Wonder Woman has been the solo star of nine times out of ten there going to be thinking about the Gal Gadot as those are the most popular films. Yet not alot of people realise or even remember for that fact that there was a solo Wonder Woman movie before Gal Gadot picked up the Lasso Of Truth with it being that movie that i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I review the film that has seemingly been forgotten about by alot of people with the film in question being called simply just "Wonder Woman" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Ares escaping from his prison on Themyscira it's up Princess Diana to leave her home for the first time and with the help of a pilot named Steve Trevor stop the god of war before his plan to gain more power before it's far to late. 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 personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with this films plot doing a good job of not telling it's story but also in giving us Wonder Woman's origin story as well as here it is something that is directly tied into the main plot instead of it being something that happens just because of the fact that the makers of the film felt like that they had to do it and yet while this films plot is rather suitably epic for a film it's also something that does feel undercooked and half baked as well as there are character arcs that not only come out of nowhere but when they do happen there not elaborated on nor ever mentioned ever again thus making them feel like something that would have been better served if they weren't in the film at all with even the forced romance between Diana and Steve feeling out of place in this film as well with the plot of this film 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 film is Keri Russell as Princess Diana /  Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Nathan Fillion as Steve Trevor. Also starring in this film is Alfred Molina as Ares , Rosario Dawson as Artemis , Marg Helgenberger as Hera , Oliver Platt as Hades , Virginia Madsen as Hippolyta , Skye Arens as The Little Girl , John DiMaggio as Deimos and The Homeless Man , Julianne Grossman as Etta Candy , Vicki Lewis as Persephone , David McCallum as Zeus , Jason Miller as Thrax and The Gang Leader , Rick Overton as Slick and The President Of The United States (uncredited) , this films voice director Andrea Romano as President's Advisor , Tara Strong as Alexa and this films producer Bruce Timm as An Attacker.

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's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which is something that is both shocking and yet also not all that shocking as well as it's shocking due to the fact that alot of this films actors aren't that well known at the very least from the point of view from the mainstream audience but yet at the same time it's not all that surprising as those of us who have followed the works of say Nathan Fillion and Tara Strong and Keri Russell to name but a few will know just how good that these actors are and not only are they really good in this film which is mostly due to the fact that Andrea Romano was a great voice director but it's also because of the fact that alot of this films actors are a bunch of really good actors in there own right and while people are only just now starting to see just how good Rosario Dawson is as an actor thanks to her role on The Mandalorian here she knocks it out of the park as Artemis with the same thing also being true for pretty much all of this films actors as well with this films acting really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really 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 film.


Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Moi Animation Studio. 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's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with all of this films animation looking alot better then alot of other direct to DVD movies that are being released  today with that being due to the fact this film was made by people who are legends in the realm of animation and aren't just getting there start in the animation industry with it really being helped by the fact that all of the characters have these rather simplistic animation designs with the animation itself having a good dose of anime inspiration which was something that was also a common thing in alot of animation from 2009 and yet because of the fact that it's a movie we also get alot of really stunning scenery as well and while the animation in this film will never look like that it was meant to be a theatrically released feature length film it is something that does look a whole more better and well more thought out then what it really had any right to as by all rights this films animation should have looked really bad and yet the very fact that it doesn't and still holds up even almost twenty years later does go to show that DC put the right people in charge of creating there direct to DVD animated movie lineup. 


Not only is this film alot more gory then alot of the other direct to DVD DC animated films out there but it's also one of there more violent animated films as well. Simply due to the fact that we see not one but two characters gets there heads cut clean off during the course of the film but we also see quite alot of bleed as well and these are things that simply just wouldn't be done in this film if it was being made today as Warner Bros would either just straight up cancel the film all together or if they did release the film then it would "offend" people who don't like seeing mature things in something that is seen as being something that's for little kids and yet it's those exact things that help it stand apart from all of the other DC animated films out there as if this film did play it say and feature no blood and cut away just before we saw either Thrax or Ares get there heads cut off then it would make the film feel tame and like it's playing it to safe and yet by the very fact that this film has characters that are from a time where seeing people get there heads cut off was an every day thing and there for really wouldn't know all that better it would lose the film of everything that makes it stand out as even the fact that it's directed by a woman and starring a female superhero in the leading role are things that we can now see in other movies and TV shows and it would there for cause this film to blend in with all of the other films where as with those included it helps to make the film stand out as those things are things that you don't typically get to see in alot of animated movies or TV show for that matter either and yet here they both are in this film.

While it would be super easy to make Princess Diana a pretty bada*s character which is something that the film still does however they also oddly enough make her mother Queen Hippolyta just as bada*s as her daughter is. As Hippolyta not only straight up calls out Steve Trevor alot of the time which granted does come from a place of hatred towards all men but is still pretty awsome to see in alot of the films big battle scenes she's the one that's leading the charge even having a joke with Artemis as well with it even being her that cuts of the head of her own son not because of the fact that she hates him altho she most likely does but it's due to the fact that it was the only thing that she could have done to stop him from fighting and killing all of her own people with her even not only fighting Ares at the start of the film but also more then holding her own and keeping up with him as well and while she does kind of take a back seat in the films third act battle which does make alot of sense she still does manage to take a number of the undead as well all of which are things that do combine to make her a pretty bada*s of a character in this film and it's all things that were also oddly enough included in the 2017 Wonder Woman film as well which does make you wonder if the makers of that film watched this film and while her leadership does leave a little to be desired as she let her own hatred of man cloud her judgement and allow her people to cut themselves of from the world of man for many centauries when push does come to shove she is a really skilled fighter who is more then willing to what's right even if it hurts her as a person.


While alot of this film is indeed really good there are some things that do let it down like Ares for example. While granted he's done miles better in this film then he was in the 2017 film he's still not all that memorable of a villain which is something that does make sense as back in 2009 nobody in Hollywood be it Marvel or DC knew how t make a good movie villain and while that doesn't excuse the fact that he's not that memorable of a character in this film he is still done miles better in this film then in the 2017 film as he actually looks menacing in this film and while he doesn't really have a plan per se it could also be argued that that is in keeping with his character as all he wants to do is cause endless wars to feed his own power an ambition something that he does try to do in this film but at the same time tho it would have made all the more menacing if he did have an end goal in mind as that would then give us the audience a reason to want to boo him and to want to see Diana and Steve succeed out of the fact that they are are the heroes and he's the main villain and seeing him have to actually seduce people to get what he wants is an interesting aspects of his character but sadly like of things in this film it's one that's not really developed as well as it could have been and as a result of that is the fact that's something that does come across as being really underdeveloped when it is something that could have made the film alot more interesting by having him try to seduce either Steve or Diana and get either of them to join his cause.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirteen minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which is something that does both work for and against the film it works for the film in the fact that it's a really solid for this film to have and the fact that this film really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho it also works again the film in the fact that it means that alot of the films ideas become undercooked and half baked because of the fact that this film has to rush along to the next plot point more often then not doing so without feeling earned and it means that scenes like the one with Persephone telling Hippolyta that while yes she did indeed save them from evil men she also robbed them of the chance to have children and to experience happiness of there own which whilst it is a great scene would have meant more if we we saw more of a build up to it and it's like that with alot of the characters own character arc like the fact that Artemis and Alexa don't really agree on the fact that Alexa would rather read books then fight only for Artemis to suddenly chose to read a book at the end of the movie again with no pay off and it's also the films villain that does suffer as well as he comes across as being not a very memorable character and all these are things that could have been fixed if the film did have just a slightly longer running time but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in al honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films action being where this film shines the best as not only is it where the animation truly does come alive making each and every blow not only look painful but leap of the screen as well but it's also where we get to some really creative fight scenes and some really cool looking visuals as well with the best fight in the whole entire being the entire third act fight as we get to see a really small Wonder Woman take on a giant sized Ares with her just hitting him in the face and him using all of hos godly powers to beat her up in ways that he wouldn't have been able to do centauries ago and as  result of the fact that we get to see Diana have to use her smarts as well as her brute strength and Lasso Of Truth just to keep up with him with there fight also being tied into the fact that Steve has to stop a missile from blowing up Themyscira and thus giving Ares more power and it's only when Steve blow up the missile that Ares sent to blow up Themyscira in the most comic book way possible with invisible missiles that only then is Diana finally able to beat Ares and when in the fact that the rest of the surviving Amazons have come to help be fighting Ares own undead army then it is something that really does make that third act fight a really good action set piece in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst the 2017 live action solo Wonder Woman might be more well known that doesn't mean that it was the first solo film for the character and it's not even the first solo live action film for the character as there was a TV movie in 70's that starred Cathy Lee Crosby that does technically have that honor with his film being the characters first solo animated feature film and one that is still a wonderful film even all of these years later in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then iive talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film 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 sued un 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 DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page , the official DC Movies fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great the official DC Movies 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 film 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 DC Movies fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

WWF Raw April 24th 2000 Review


With the WWE having made a huge splash on Netflix and the fact that it's been a good while since I last took a look at a classic episode of the truly historic Monday Night Raw. It only seemed about right that I take a look at another episode of the show and well let's just say that i've chosen an episode that would have made fourteen year old boys VERY happy and so then join me as I review the episode of the show that would have made teenage boys and adult men happy with the show in question being called simply just "Raw" enjoy.

The main plot of this episode is the feud between Triple H , Chris Jericho , The Rock and Chris Benoit as that's the feud that gets alot of focus on in this episode. With this plot being advanced in ways that does feel natural as while they do constantly bring up the fact that Steve Austin is returning at the then upcoming PPV but at the same time tho it's not something that does play into the plot of this episode as it's something that's saved for Backlash and yet at the same time this episodes feud really doesn't need Steve Austin in it as all four men alone are more then talented enough to carry the plot alone and while both The Rock and Jericho are in feuds with at least either Benoit or Triple H in the case of Jericho he just so happens to be feuding with both men which is something that does add an interesting angle to the plot of this episode as it means that Jericho would have to be looking over his shoulder the whole night because either Benoit or Triple H could attack him at any point something that does happen after the shows first segment but also anyone who is friends with either of the dup could attack Jericho as well and it wouldn't feel out of place either and while the main advancement for this plot would indeed come at Backlash here it was a feud that was balanced rather well with all of the other segments of the 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.


The Raw set from this era of the show is perhaps one of the most really iconic sets that the show ever had. As it's the big titantron in the middle with the two smaller trons either side all of which do serve to make this set look like a truly chaotic but stunning set as well as it's one that doesn't really have any wasted space to it as every single inch of this shows set is used up and isn't really creating any dead space and it's something that really does make you wonder why this set hasn't been used in any of the the recent WWE 2K video games as when you think of the attitude era chances are this is the Raw set that you think of as it's something that really is just that iconic and while yes Raw has had some better sets both before and after this one it's this one that alot of people will be thinking off when they think back on the sets of Raw from the attitude era and it's also a set that would look good in video game format as well and yet it's a set that keeps on getting overlooked for some strange reason for some strange reason with this shows set being perfect for the where the company was at this point in time with this show as Raw was beating Nitro in the ratings week in and week out and the WWF was on the verge of winning the Monday Night Wars and this is a set that does represent just how confident that the WWF was feeling at this point in time and as well as being true to the show by being chaotic as Raw was a place where anything can and did happen as well.

If there's anything that this set gets wrong it's the fact that it's not all that interesting to look at alot of the time. Where as even if you compare this set to the set used for Smackdown the Smackdown set is alot more interesting to look at as while yes that set does have alot of dead space due to the caps inbetween the circles it's the fact that it's circular that makes it interesting where as with this set it looks like alot of the PPV sets only with nothing added to it and at the very least with the PPV sets they at least have things on the stage that make each set stand out out and feel unique where as with this set there's none of that because of the fact that it's weekly TV show and a not a PPV set but at the same time tho the WWF really could have done something to make this shows set feel unique in it's own right as this is the show that they were using to compete against WCW and as a result of the fact that they should have put some effort into making sure that there set both look and feel different from anything that WCW was using at this same point in time as this is a set that does look like alot of the sets that they were using and straight up copying WCW when they were on there way out is not something that looks good on anyone even more so for the WWF as alot of the show from this same time period shows that they can and have created sets and shows that are ten times better then anything that WCW was doing at this same point in time even on there best day and yet here the WWF is just straight up copying a WCW set.


If there's one thing that this episode gets wrong it's it's story telling as given by the fact that Triple H was straight about injure Shane's mother last week on Raw. It makes no sense for Shane to then apologize to him this week as by all rights the two of them should be ready to hurt each other and yet for one reason or another they just straight up forgive each other which is something that does scream like the fact that this storyline was changed at the last minuet as that aspect of the storyline just doesn't make sense and it's something that would have made alot more sense if Shane was only acting like he was going to hurt Hunter instead of straight forgive him as at least then you could have the reveal at the end of the episode that Shane and Hunter are actually on the same page by having Shane act like he's going to hit Hunter only for him to to turn around and hit either The Rock or Jericho something that would have made alot more sense and it would have resulted in both Hunter and Shane getting alot of heel heat in the process but because of the fact that they don't do that it then makes this storyline come across as feeling like something that was changed at the last minuet when this is something that should have been locked down as it's the biggest storyline that's currently going on in the company at this point in time as well and by not locking it all down and possibly making changes to it's storyline it makes it feel like that Vince was making last minuet changes to the episodes script when that's not something that needed to happen with this episode in particular.


Alot more recently the WWE have been trying to get the fans to bring signs to there live shows and TV tapings. Which is a good thing as it's in those signs that we get to the see the fand passion for certain superstars be it for who they hate or who they love and yet by not doing that it makes the fans feel like that they don't don't have any passion for the show that they've come out to watch and yet if you watch shows from around this time period every single fan that you see in attendance has a a homemade sign and it's something tat does add to the overall experience as while it doesn't make the show any better what it does do is make it look like the fans are genuinely having a good time watching this show and when you see what the card is for this show that's not hard to see a reason as o why the fans would be excited and yet despite the fact that the match card of today's WWE show is still really good in it's right and despite the fact that the fans do still have there chants which they use to great effect your not going to beat seeing a crown with a bunch of homemade signs as it just adds that extra special something that alot of shows today are missing as for some really strange reason the fans just aren't bringing in there homemade signs when that's a good way to show just how creative you are as a wrestling fan which makes today's fan just seem like a boring crowd of wrestling fans when if you look at the fans of the product from the attitude era you'll see that it's the opposite that's true as they got to make some really creative and fun to see signs.

If you have just watched one of the latest videos from the Youtuber WrestlingBios then you'll know full well why alot of fourteen year old boys and older men would like this particular episode of the show. As since it would impossible for me to post quite literally any pictures from any of the segments featuring this particular person from this episode let's just say that they involve Trish Stratus and tables in quite literally all of her segments which is something that do explain and it is something that does make sense when you take into account that this is during her T and A days and it involve Bubba Ray Dudley and while those segments where great back then they have aged like milk and really wouldn't be something that the company would even dream of airing today and thankfully so as women's wrestling has come along way since the year 2000 and having segments with Trish wearing next to something spread out on a table just wouldn't sit right with quite literally anyone let alone making multiple segments with the same set up and having them all air in the one episode as while they do help to tell one story with those characters it's also something that the company really could have found a way of telling from a different point of view but given where not only we as a society where at the time and what the companies target demographic was at this point in time it does make sense that they would have her wearing next to nothing whilst being spread out on a table.


Just to be frank Edge & Christian where totally awsome in this episode as they straight up said that not only where they going to do a run in on the Road Dogg in this episode which they did but they also said when they were going to do it. Both of which was extremely funny as it felt like they were tipping there hats to wrestling terminology without being outright forward with it like they were in WCW which made all the more funnier as the WWF at this point in time had moved fully away from breaking the fourth wall and yet to see one there top tag teams pretty much do exactly that felt not only right but also well within either of there characters to do exactly that and because of it we got a truly entertaining sequence with the two of them just saying what they were planning on doing and when it was going to happen and not only that they also pulled double duty by having a match up against The Dudley Boys later on in the episode which if you know those two teams was also going to be good with both teams brining there A game when they really didn't have to as nobody would have blamed them for not putting on that good of a match for a weekly TV show and while yes there match up wasn't PPV quality as given the shot match time that was never going to happen we still got to see two of the all time greatest tag teams work together and really show us the audience why they both still the one of the best tag teams in not only WWE history but pro wrestling history as well.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty three minuets and forty two seconds. With this pretty much being the exact running time for this show for many years and to e this episode really does have the right amount of the plot there to fully cover that amount of running and while the episode doesn't really use it's running time all that wisely as we don't really get any plot advancements in any meaningful way this is something that really does make sense as not only are there other episodes of this show where those advancements could have happen but due to the WWF having multiple shows all going at the exact same time then it does make sense that alot of those advancements could have happened on one of those shows something which we do see happen as it's straight up mentioned on this episode that Steve Blackman turned on his partner Al Snow on an episode of Sunday Night Heat this is despite the fact that the two are pretty much mainstays of Monday Night Raw at this point in time and yet even with that in mind and the fact that this show was the go home show for Backlash 2000  it still would have been nice if we did get some meaningful plot advancement even if it's from a minor feud as that would still be something and it would have given much of the companies mid card at the time something to do rather then just sit at home doing nothing for a week but I really will admit that this episode 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 fesatured / presenten 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. Which is something that's not really all that new for the company at this point as they were very easily outclassing WCW when it comes to there wrestling with almost every match up on this episodes card being really good and solid matches that whilst they wouldn't have made good PPV matches given the match time that they have in this episode they still make for some decently entertaining match up with the best match on the entire card being Chris Jericho and The Rock Vs Triple H and Chris Benoit as all you have to do is look at the talent of all four men to see why this was a good match as all four men even for a TV show match up still manage to bring there A game and make there match look good which is something that does make alot of sense as there match was the main event of the show and thats the slot where you want to best match to be and that's exactly what this match up was and while The Dudley Boys Vs Edge & Christian was a really good match up as is to be expected from either team it was to short and felt secondary due to the antics of Trish and T And A which is something that stopped it from being a really good match up in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while the show might be doing better on Netflix the one thing that the show has lost is the one thing that the show had and that's a smaller running time and the ability to still tell of the stories that they need to to tell within that running time and that is something that episode gets across really well and while this might not be the best episode of the show it's one that alot of fourteen year old boys and adult men well surely remember in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about al of the good and as well as all of the bad thigs that are n 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 f 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 Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images. ith my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of Win Or Lose


Even tho they've spent alot of there time turning out hit film after hit film PIXAR has now suddenly started to try there hand at making TV shows. With the only other TV shows that they themselves made being Card Toons , Cars On The Road , Monsters At Work and Dream Productions as while yes they did have a hand in making Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command that wasn't fully made by them and they have just debuted the first two episodes of there first show not to be based off of a feature film and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that really is alot more mature then what it really had any right to be with the show in question being called simply just "Win Or Lose" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is Laurie is a struggling softball player for her dads team and struggles to cope with the pressure when it comes to just hitting the ball and the teams umpire struggles to get over his ex-girlfriend. 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 as both of these first two episodes do have plots that are alot better then what they really had any right to be as they both deal with themes that you don't typically get to see in alot of Disney shows and they do them in ways that are not only unique to each character that the plot of the episode is focusing on but also in really creative and unique ways as well but if push came to shove then the best plot had to be the one in the first episode just because of the fact it felt like that episode actually had a plot and story to tell where as episode twos plot just felt weak with the episode just feeling like that random stuff was happening just for the sake of it and not because of the fact that the episode had a really good story in it's own right to tell as the plot for episode two whilst it was a good plot it just wasn't focused on that much and as such it felt like that the attention of the episode was everywhere except what was meant to be the episodes plot where as it's the opposite that's true for episode ones plot with the plots of both episodes also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is Rossie Foss as Laurie , Will Forte as Coach Dan , Chanel Stewart as Kai and Tom Law as Tom. Also starring in these episodes is Izaac Wang as Yuwen , Lil Rel Howery as James , Rosa Salazar as Vanessa , Dorien Watson as Ira , Jo Firestone as Sweaty , Milian Ray as Rochelle , Rhea Seehorn as Carole , Josh Thomson as Frank Brown , Kyliegh Curran as Taylor , Erin Keif as Kerin , Flula Borg as Francis and Santina Muha as Cheryl.

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 thought / felt that the actual 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 knew for a PIXAR project as all of there films and now TV shows even the bad ones have had some really good acting in them and have be really well cast as well and that is something that does seem to be the case for this show and for these episodes as well as all of the characters that are in these first two episodes have been really well cast as even tho the show does sadly continue the trend of using celebrity voices over actual voice actors to play there characters you actually can't tell who is voicing who with all of this shows actors changing there voices just enough so that it feels right for the character and as a result of that is the fact that you stop hearing the actors saying these lines and you start to hear the character saying them with the acting that's in these first two episodes really being helped by the fact that these episodes acting is really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these first two episodes are so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's these first two episodes.


Doing the animation for these first two episodes is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at PIXAR Animation Studios and Lemon Sky Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty about as good as you'd expect from PIXAR. AS the animation just from these first two episodes alone is more then up there with some of the stuff that they've been putting in there more recent feature films as it's just that good and it's something that also consistent as even in there bad films like Lightyear for example as they always manage to out do themselves with each and every project that they do and they've done it once again as the animation in these first two episodes was simply nothing more then gorgeous to look at and it something that does go to show that you can put in decent feature film quality animation in a TV show if you have the right studio to do it and while the animation in episode one is alot more better then the animation in episode two that doesn't mean that episode two has bad animation in it because it really doesn't it just means that episode one has better animation in it with even the more out there scenes in episode two also looking really good as well as that's just how good the animation really is in both of these episodes.


In what was a unexpected move this show is telling eight interlocking stories with them all seemingly ending up at this big championship game. Which is something that you don't really expect from either Disney or PIXAR for that matter as both companies are more used to tell one completed story over the course of either a film or a TV show and yet here we are getting eight different points of view which is something that does help to make this show stand out alot more then what it already does as it would have been super easy just to have the entire show take place in the lead up to the game but the fact that we are getting eight different stories all of which do indeed connect to one another and all of which do combine during this championship game does say that the makers of this show really did have a unique vision and in an industry where we are getting nothing more then either sequels , prequels or remakes having something new also do something new and do it well as well is something that really does make this show stand out and it's something that this show should get alot of praise as while it rather understandably doesn't end the whole story set up in these two episodes as that's what the final episode is for it does so in a way that not only makes you want to check out the next episode so that you can see more of these characters and this world but also in a way that does feel natural and un-forced as it would have been very easy just to have these stories just stop with rhyme or reason.

Again in what could be seen as being a really shocking move is the fact that both of these episodes are alot more mature then what it had any right to be. As in episode one we see Laurie dealing with the crippling weight of her own expectations of herself and as we see how her own self doubt does overwhelm her and get to her at times which is something that no PIXAR project including either Inside Out films have touched and we see in episode 2 that Frank dumped his girlfriend only for him to realise that he's not over her and that by the end of the episode when he does realise this after spending a good chunk of the episode trying to move on he then finds out that his ex girlfriend is now engaged to be marries thus proving that the main characters don't always get the girl at the end which is again something that other Disney or PIXAR films and shows really havn't had the courage to show us and yet because of the fact that these first two episodes does show us these things and we get to see just how each character deals with them it makes the show and these come across as being alot more mature then what anybody would have thought that they would have been and when you add in the fact that Frank was also starting to open up a bit by the end just by talking to this girl online only for him to still have feeling for his ex does go to show you that sometimes people just can't get over loosing those that they love so easily.


For some strange reason Disney really likes releasing the first two episodes of all of their shows as that's something that they've not only done here but are releasing this shows episodes two a week. Which is something that makes no sense for two reasons the first of which being it makes the very idea of releasing the first two episodes seem less special as there doing quite literally all of the time and in the case of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place they released that shows first TEN episodes on Disney+ whilst only the first one or two were aired on Disney Channel and second of all it means that Disney+ is going to be getting alot less viewing numbers for the show then what they would have gotten if the show released one episode a week as then you can have good word of mouth with people saying just how good that this show is and that can then translate into Disney+ getting more subscribers and while yes releasing the first two episodes is a great way to generate hype that is something that only works if it's done sparring but once you do it all the time and you then release multiple episodes week as despite even starting a month ago Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has just wrapped up it first ten episode season you then lose any and all hope that you might have of getting new long term subscribers to Disney+ and it's shows like this one that will suffer because of that release strategy as within a month this show will be forgotten about an buried in Disney+ all because of the fact that Disney wanted to get it out there quickly when instead taking your time and releasing your episodes one a week would ultimately help you out longer in the long term of things.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and fifty seconds whilst episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and twenty two seconds. With both of these first two episodes having some really good running times for them as both both episodes really do have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover there respective running times and while episode one has the better plot oddly enough it's episode two that uses it's running time alot more wisely as while episode one had alot more characters to introduce including the main characters of this episode it's this episode that really does focus in on Frank and let's us the audience really get to know him as a characters where as episode one despite telling the better story with the heavier theme doesn't really give us the chance to really get to know Laurie as a main character with both of the episodes spending alot of time in setting up this world and letting us now how it works as this shows world is basically just our world but animated however despite all of that praise it's episode that comes out the better episode because of the fact that it's central theme of expectation was handled alot more better then the theme of episode two was this despite the fact that episodes twos theme of love and what it means to lose someone love was handled really well in it's own right as well but I really will admit that both of these episode have some really good pacing to them tho.


So now then as this is a comedy show that really means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in al honesty really good. With both of these episodes having some genuinely laugh out loud moments in them be it from Sweaty just being an annoying person to Laurie or Venessa describing how she used her car horn for a really long time on the way to her girls school there are alot of really funny moments in both of these episodes that bog kids and adults will enjoy with this show being geared at more towards a family audience and even with that in mind the jokes that are in both of these episodes don't feel that adult as all they are alot of the time are the characters doing things that we as people do in our everyday lives only now it's kicked up to eleven because of the fact that it's animated and that is something that does make alot of the scenes in these first two episodes really funny and while episode two does have some really funny jokes in it like Frank just straight up acting like an umpire at his job as a school teacher is a funny idea but the funniest episode is easily episode one because of the fact that Sweaty is just a funny character in that episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this is a show that is going to fly under the radar despite the fact that it's a really good show and the reason that it's going to fly under the radar is the fact Disney didn't really promote the show in the lea up to it's release but given just how good that these first two episodes were maybe the show will get some love from the fans as this really is just that good of a show thus far 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 thar are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

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 post from the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official PIXAR 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 post being the really great the official PIXAR 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'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official PIXAR fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
