The Simpsons "The City Of New York Vs. Homer Simpson" Review

 


Fans of The Simpsons since i've been making more of an effort to make a review based on episodes of the Simpsons alot more often and alot more quickly then what I had been doing previously. I thought that now was the right time to talk about another classic episode of the show with episode being one of the very episodes of The Simpsons to get banned from syndication a little while and so join me as I review was perhaps the most controversial episode of The Simpsons with the episode itself being called simply just "The City Of New York Vs. Homer Simpson" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after his car goes missing thanks to loaning his car to a forcibly sober Barney Gumble Homer Simpson finds out that his car is parked up in New York and so with the rest of his family in toe The Simpsons go and visit New York where they only have a few short days in order to pay of the massive parking violation (thanks to one Barney Gumble) bill otherwise there car will end up in the river. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual plot of this episode was rather freaking good and was also rather freaking simple enough to follow without getting either lost or even confused in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Dan Castellaneta as Homer Simpson and Barney Gumble , Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson and Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson. Also starring in this episode is Yeardley Smith as Lisa Simpson , Hank Azaria as Moe Szyslak , Sam The Barfly , Carl Carlson , Duffman and as The Khlav Kalash Vendor and lastly we also have the great Harry Shearer as Lenny Leonard and as Larry The Barfly.

Now then as for / in terms 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 thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was up to the shows very high standard of high quality acting. This is because all of the core cast of episode gets alot to work with since the script for this episode is also really freaking good and that helps making the acting in this episode all the more better in my opinion anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this episode is Film Roman Productions and Rough Draft Korea and well I have to say that I really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very episode. This is because The Simpsons when it was in it's prime always had some really good animation even in the shows bad episodes and the same thing is of course true for this episode in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I think it's pretty freaking obvious as to why this episode got pulled from being in syndication. Since the main plot of this episode does indeed feature indeed the World Trade Centres and even now thinking back on why this episode was banned from syndication the TV networks really only had one choice but to pull this episode out of syndication but on the plus it is a good thing that this episode has now officially reentered syndication even with some apparently really bad edits made to this very / particular since this is a really freaking good episode in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then I will very fully much admit that this episode doesn't really do much with it's New York nor do they really make any jokes about being in New york just to get there car and nothing more then that. Which is a shame because you really could have had some fun with the New York setting but for whatever reason the makers of this show and of this episode chose not to have some fun with this episodes New York which is a completely missed opportunity in my freaking opinion anyways / anyways.


I will also very much admit that the very idea of Barney Gumble the town drunk being forced to stay sober for a very long period of time is indeed a very funny idea in my opinion anyways / at least and heck you very easily could have gotten an entire twenty two minuet episode of the show just based from that one idea alone. However tho having barney being the character that pretty much starts of the plot of this episode is also a very good use of the character as well in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this particular / very episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and seventeen seconds and well in all honesty I in all honesty thought / feel that this particular / very episode lasted / lasts the right amount of time. Given the story the makers of this show and of this episode had to work with and in all honesty i kind of wanted this episode to be longer since I just wanted to see what The Simpsons family would get up to in New York but that in the end would have doe more damage / harm to the episode then good in my opinion anyways / at least.  


Now then since this show is a comedy show after all and there are some actual jokes to be found in this very episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual jokes that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in my opinion anyways / at least I in all honesty think / feel that the actual jokes that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode are very hit and miss. Since even tho there some really funny jokes to be in this very episode with the above picture being just one of them there are also alot of really unfunny jokes in this episode which for The Simpsons that's in it's prime is not a good thing at all in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really good episode and it's also a really good episode of what The Simpsons was like when it was right there in it's very prime in my opinion anyways / at ;east but tho with all of that being said it's not a very good episode infact it's just a good episode and nothing more then that in my opinion anyways / at least. Now 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 that means that this episode earns itself a grand total score of exactly an 8.5 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 Simpsons fandom wiki page and lastly from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up , featured and on the official The Simpsons fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

Star Wars Visions Review

 


Anime and Star Wars fans when I did my review of the very first episode of Star Wars Visions my intention was to very quickly follow that review up with a review of the entire series of Star Wars Visions. However I got sidetracked and so I didn't really get around to reviewing the entre series as quickly as I had originally wanted to do however i'm getting around to it right now and so join me as I give you my review of the TV show that introduced anime to the world of Star Wars with the TV show in question being called simply just "Star Wars Visions" enjoy.

Now then there actually isn't a main plot for this show since every single episode of this show tells a different story with a much more different set of characters. This is in all honesty a rather interesting take to take with the Star Wars franchise since it means that we get to explore the Star Wars galaxy in a way that's never been done before and this is in all honesty a rather fun way to explore the Star Wars galaxy in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Jaden Waldman as T0-B1 and as The Child Village Chief and Kyle Chandler as Mitaka. Also starring in this show is Brian Tee as Ronin , Lucy Liu as Bandit Leader , Stephanie Sheh as Saku and as Villager B , Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jay , Bobby Moynihan as Geezer , Marc Thompson as Lan and Additional Voices , Shelby Young as K-344 and Child , Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett , Jonathan Lipow as B-2ON and Additional Voices , Neil Patrick Harris as Karre , Alison Brie as Am , Karen Fukuhara as F , Nichole Sakura as Haru , Kimiko Glenn as Lah Kara , Simu Liu as Lah Zhima , Andrew Kishino as Margrave Juro and as A Steward Droid , Masi Oka as Ethan , Jordan Fisher as Dan G'vash , David Harbour as Tajin Crosser , Anna Cathcart as Lop , Hiromi Dames as Ochō , Henry Golding as Tsubaki , Jamie Chung as Misa and rather oddly enough we also have freaking Star Trek legend George Takei as Senshu.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was shockingly really freaking good. I say shockingly because for alot of these actors this was there first time doing voice acting and so the acting that's in this show on paper shouldn't have been as good as it was in my opinion anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this show is Kamikaze Douga , Studio Colorido , Trigger , Kinema Citrus , Production IG , Science SARU and Geno Studio. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's featured / presented to us in this very show and in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this actual show is really freaking yes there are some episodes that don't have that good animation but those episodes are in the minority and are not the majority of the episodes in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


Now then this is something that I noticed quite early on in this series but from what I can tell almost every single episode of this show takes on a different sub genre of anime and Japanese media. With the very first episode of this very show being a samurai film and the second taking on what can only be descried as an idol anime show but in space and so on and so fourth / on and I have to say that I found it really interesting that the Japanese creators chose to take this approach with these episodes since it made the episodes all the more fun and entertaining trying to see and trying to work what form of anime sub genre that that particular episode was going to be based on / around in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Now then yes there are some episodes that are in this very show that are alot better then others like for example the worst episode for me at least was "The Village Bride" just because it wasn't that interesting of an episode for me personally. However tho with that being said there are alot of episodes that are in this very show which are in a word phenomenal like for example "The Duel" and "The Twins" to name but a few and so having at the very least one bad story in a sea of good stories is only a very good thing in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then what I really liked about this show is the fact that it showed that anybody can fall to the dark side of the force no matter how pure and how innocent there motive is. Which was something that I found to be rather interesting because it harkened back to Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith which showed us a very similar idea only here we get to see it done to people who aren't always jedi which makes / made that idea all the more interesting and intriguing to / for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then there are nine episodes in this series with no episode lasting longer then twenty two minuets which means that in total there should be at the very least a two hour and thirty minuet running time for all of the episodes combined but i'm not exactly sure on / about that tho so don't hold me to that. How tho I will say that this series really could have done with a few more episodes simply just because I was having a such a great time watching this show and that just goes to show you how good of a show that this very TV show actually even freaking is in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then this show is being listed as an action show up and on IMDB which means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this show and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / fell that the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very show is OK best. This isn't true for all of the episodes just the overall vast majority of this show episodes which is a shame because when this show does have a action sequence / set piece it really is something to well and truly behold in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this show was alot better then what I thought that it was going to be since everything that's Star Wars these days will nine times out of ten be pretty freaking bad but luckily tho this show was one of the very freaking few Disney Star Wars products that was actually pretty freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and that means that this show earns itself / gets a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 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 Star Wars fandom wiki page and from the official Disney fandom wiki page. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this arc being the official Star Wars fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Star Wars fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

WWF WrestleMania X-Seven Review

 


Ladies and gentlemen Wrestlemania is a pop culture phenomenon it's something that even none wrestling fans will watch if there bored it's biggest wrestling PPV of any calendar year and it's not that hard to see why. Since this event is nearly always bigger and better then all of the other wrestling PPV'S out there and well the Wrestlemania that i'm going to review for you all today is one that many myself included consider to be the greatest ever Wrestlemania ever made at least by fans and so join me as I review the greatest ever Wrestlemania with the Wrestlemania in question being called simply just "WrestleMania X-Seven" enjoy.

The main story going into this particular Wrestlemania is the feud between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin which is basically Stone Cold Steve Austin won the 2001 Royal Rumble and The Rock won the WWF Championship at No Way Out 2001 and so both The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are set for a showdown at this PPV event. Now then I will say I in all honesty didn't mind that this feud didn't really have much there in terms of actual plot or story since in this case it makes the feud between The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin feel alot more personal in my opinion anyways / at least.



So now then the stage design for this show is what I thought to be really good since the actual stage for this show is basically just two columns with two video screens and a mini-titantron in the middle. This is in my opinion anyways / at least a great set because it's simple and sometimes making things as simple as possible works out alot better then making things overly complicated and complex in my opinion anyways / at least.

Heck try as I might but I cannot find one single thing that's wrong with this set and trust me I tried really freaking hard. Heck i'd go as far to say that this particular set is perhaps the most iconic Wrestlemania set that's ever been produced thus far and i'm not just saying that because of the fact that I grew up with this particular Wrestlemania stage / set i'm saying because it's something that I in all honesty believe to be true and heck I in all honesty think that more Wrestlemania's should go with a simple is more approach when it comes to the stage / set designs for that particular years Wrestlemania in my opinion anyways / at least.


To many this event signals the end of the Attitude Era and while I personally don't agree with that statement it's not hard to see where those exact same people are coming from. Since the ending to this particular event features Stone Cold Steve Austin shaking hands with the one person who was his arch nemesis during the entire Attitude Era but at the same time just because one chapter of the Attitude Era had closed didn't doesn't mean that the entire thing had ended at that particular point in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then there is only one word that can used to describe this particular WWF Wrestlemania PPV event and that exact word is iconic because every little thing that's about this show is iconic. Even down to the fact that there are iconic moments happening within this show and even tho those exact same iconic moments have been played to death by the WWE / WWF over the years they are still very awesome and very cool and very scary in a good way to look at and to see play out in this particular show / event in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then while this show is indeed very freaking good that doesn't make this show a perfect show far freaking from it. In fact this show does have some faults like for example they have some stars of WCW there and they don't play apart in the show which even tho there is a reason behind that it's still a bad reason and it makes them showing up there make no sense whatsoever and the other thing that I didn't like about this show is the fact that even tho both Steven Richards and Jacqueline have a little bit of a braw at the start of the match neither person has plays any major role in the The APA and Taz vs The Right To Censor match which is just rather and odd booking choice to make in my opinion anyways / at least.  


Now then for some strange reason this show features not one but two p**s break matches which would normally be a bad thing but in this show I don't in all honesty see it as being a bad thing. This is simply because of how iconic Wrestlemania is and so having two p**s break matches here makes alot of sense even more when you consider that the second p**s break match is a comedy Gimmick Battle Royal which is just used to show of some of the WWE then WWF legends in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this particular show has / had a grand total running time of exactly three hours and forty five minuets and twenty two seconds and well if i'm being well and truly and very freaking honest here people and boys and girls this particular event was a bit long in the tooth for my liking. However with that being said however I really cannot come up with a single match that needed to be cut since every single match that's on this card helps makes this particular Wrestlemania as great and as fun as it was / is in my opinion anyways / anyways.


Now then since this show is a wrestling show that means that there is some wrestling on this show and as such that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in / on this actual wrestling show and well in my opinion anyways / at least the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in / on this actual wrestling show to put it bluntly the wrestling that's on this show is freaking fantastic. This one of the very rare wrestling shows where every single match is a good and solid match and yes that includes both of the p**s break matches in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this show is perhaps the greatest ever Wrestlemania in my opinion anyways / at least and it's not that hard to see why alot of wrestling fans myself included love the living heck out of this show because this show is that damn good in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such this show gets a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 out 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 , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Google Images this is simply because the official Google Images actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high definition.

Star Wars: Visions "The Duel" SPOILER FREE Review

 


Star Wars the world of Star Wars has taken over pretty much every single form of entertainment and well now it can add anime to that list as well. Since there is now a Star Wars anime anthology TV series out and on Disney+ and well with me being both an anime fan and a Star Wars fan you just knew that I had to check out at the very least the first episode of this show and so join me as I review the very first episode of Star Wars: Visions with the episode in question being called simply just "The Duel" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a stranger rolls into a small village on an unknown planet and the stranger then has to defend the village when it comes under attack from a group of bandits. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the plot of this episode as simple as it was was really freaking well told in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode Brian Tee as Ronin , Lucy Liu as Bandit Leader and Jaden Waldman as Child Village Chief. Also starring in this episode is Joe Ochman as Teahouse Shopkeeper and Trooper E , Adam Sietz as Dug and Trooper C , Neil Kaplan as Gran , Michael Sinterniklaas as RA-7, Tusken Raider and Villager D , JP Karliak as Trandoshan and an Alien Guard , Greg Chun as Trooper D and Villager A , Keone Young as Trooper F , Kyle McCarley as Trooper B , Patrick Seitz as Trooper A , Eva Kaminsky as Villager C and Stephanie Sheh as Villager B.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking good. This isn't something that's hard to archive tho since the script for this film is so good and so of course all of the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in in this very episode are going to turn in some really good performances in my opinion anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this episode is Kamikaze Douga who really haven't worked on anything of note when it comes to actually producing animation for either an anime series or an anime movie in my opinion anyways / at least. Now then tho in terms what I thought about the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very episode was really freaking good with the animation looking like it was done via rotoscoping in my opinion anyways / at least.



Now then as alot of you Star Wars fans will indeed know Star Wars was at the very least very freaking partially inspired by the works of Akira Kurosawa and as such it seemed oddly fitting that this very first episode of Star Wars: Visions be presented to us. Almost like it was an Akira Kurosawa film complete with the episode being in black and white and the Ronin character being presented to us almost like he was meant to be a samurai which honestly just makes the whole connection from Akira Kurosawa to Star Wars come full freaking circle in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then I will very freaking admit that I actually forgot that this show was even coming out and when I did come out I was away on my holidays. Hence why this review is coming to you a few days after the premier of this series and I will very freaking admit that this was a very good episode to start out on because it almost doesn't feel like your watching a Star Wars product since it instead feels like your watching an old Japanese movie which is something that I personally felt worked really freaking well in this episodes favour in my opinion anyways / at least.  


Now then I will very freaking admit that this episode isn't perfect since there are some things about this episode that I didn't like for example we don't really get a good idea of what the Ronin's personality nor do we really find out why the bandits are repeatedly attacking this one village. Both of which are things that could have been explained with one or even perhaps even two lines of dialog but given how short the episodes are in this series I can kind of see why somethings had to get dropped from the respective episodes storylines tho which is a shame because two things that I mentioned could have been some really cool things tho in my opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this particular episode of Star Wars: Visions had / has a grand total running time of exactly thirteen minuets and one seconds and well if i'm being really truly very freaking honest here people this episode really could and more importantly should have been alot longer then that. Heck you could have very easily have gotten either a full length feature film are a standerd twenty two minuets or even s special forty minuet episode just from this one storyline alone but simply just due to how short this episodes running time is in my opinion anyways / at least it means that this episode does feel a bit rushed in places especially during it's third act / climax in my opinion anyways / at least.  



So now then this episode is at the very least according to IMDB at lest an action episode and so that means that this I have to actually talked about the action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty really did like the action that's featured / presented to to us in this very episode. Since this episode gave us something that we haven't really seen in Star Wars before now and that's something that I very sadly cannot say without giving away a major spoil but lets just say that this little plot twist makes the action all the more both exciting and intense as all heck at the exact same time in my opinion anyways / at least.



Overall like I said in this very review this very episode was a very good episode to start this out with for all of the reasons that I listed and then some but at the same time this episode isn't really a perfect but it's damn sight better then alot of the more recent Star Wars films and media in my opinion anyways / at least. Now 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 vey episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 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 Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this arc being the official Star Wars fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Star Wars fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly high definition.

My Little Pony: A New Generation Film SPOILER FREE Film Review

 


Animation fans the My Little Pony franchise is one that since 2010 has taken on a life all of it's own with new fans finding out about the franchise and old fans rediscovering the franchise heck the 2010 series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was so popular among the fanbase that it not only spawned a movie but it's also spawned a sequel / spin off series called My Little Pony: Pony Life. Well now we have an official sequel to My Little Pony: Friendship Is magic and so join me as I review the film that proves that some things don't really need sequels at all with the film in question being called simply just "My Little Pony: A New Generation" enjoy.

The plot of this film years after magic has vanished from the land of Equestria and the three pony races have hated each other for generations and one day two young ponies named Sunny and Izzy decide to bring magic back to the land of Equestria but on there travels they will face many dangers that will test them and there new found friendship to it's very core. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this film in all honesty i in all honesty thought / felt that the actual plot of this film was very weak at best since there's no reason for these two ponies to go onto the adventure and so the whole just comes across as the ponies doing stuff for some unknown reasons in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Vanessa Hudgens as Sunny Starscout , Kimiko Glenn as Izzy Moonbow and James Marsden as Hitch Trailblazer. Also starring in this film is Sofia Carson as Pipp Petals , Liza Koshy as Zipp Storm , Elizabeth Perkins as Phyllis Cloverleaf , Jane Krakowski as Queen Haven , Ken Jeong as Sprout Cloverleaf , Phil LaMarr as Alphabittle , Michael McKean as Argyle Starshine and some very familiar voices as a bunch of some very familiar characters.

Now in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this film was at best passable and straight up bad at it's worst. Which is a shame because alot of the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this very film in indeed some very good actors and actresses and so it's just sad to see them phone in there performances for this very film in my opinion anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this film is Boulder Media who haven't worked on any other theatrically released feature length films about from this one. Which is a shame because even this film did indeed change animation styles from being traditional 2D hand drawn animation of the previous film to being full blown 3D CGI animation in this film the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film is rather shockingly alot better then what it really had any right to be in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


Now then one of the biggest issues that I personally had with this film and this isn't really a spoiler by the way but I really hated the fact that there were no stakes in this film. Take for example the previous film that film had alot of stakes for our main characters and so we know what the characters would stand to loose should they have failed in that movie but in this film tho there no stakes and so it doesn't really matter if the characters loose because life would return to how it already is at the start of this very / particular film which isn't even close to being a good thing at all in my opinion anyways / at least.

Not helping things is the fact that the main characters for this film aren't really given any kind of personality traits whatsoever barring Sunny and Izzy that is. This is big issue because in the very first episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is magic we got a really good idea as to what each character is like that thus made it alot easier for us the viewers to connect with each of that shows characters but here tho because of the fact that of this films main cast of characters don't have any kind of personality traits it makes / made it hard for me personally to connect with any of this films main cast of characters in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I will very fully freaking admit that there are some things that I did actually like about this film like for example the character of Izzy was a very fun and more often then not a very funny character to watch in this film the other thing that I liked in this film were a few of the songs but that's really it. Since there's not really that much to actually like about this film which is a shame because this film is literally  sequel to what many myself included consider to be the best version of the My Little Pony franchise and yet this film does nothing all that new or interesting with either it's set up , it's characters or it's settings for that matter in my opinion anyways / at least.

So now then this film has / had an exact running time of exactly one hour and thirty one minuets and twenty nine seconds so lets just round all of that up to a whopping one hour and thirty one minuets and thirty seconds and well to this films credit this film doesn't feel like it lasted that long at all. This is because in my opinion anyways / at least this film had the right amount of running time for the story that it was trying to tell and so there really was no need for this film to last any longer then what it actually does last in my opinion anyways / at least.


So now then this film is a comedy film after all and that means that I have to talk about the actual comedy that's featured / presented to us in this very film and well in my opinion anyways / at least the comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film is very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since even tho alot of this films jokes did indeed get alot of laughs out of me there are also these really cringy and out of place pop culture references be it to movies or to brand names which kids just aren't going to get and that are simply just unfunny references to things in popular culture in my opinion anyways / at least. 



Overall the 2017 theatrically released MY Little Pony: The Movie is easily the better movie out of these two films but even so there are some good things that are to be found in this very film there's just not that many of them in my opinion anyways / at least. Now 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 review and as such that means that this very and freaking film gets a grand old score of a freaking whopping 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 My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page just simply due to the fact that pretty much all of the images that are featured / resented to us on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all pretty high quality and as well as being very high definition.

My First Impressions Of The He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe 2021 TV Series

 


He-Man fans we are now living in an age where we have not one but two He-Man cartoons running together at the exact same time and airing on the exact same streaming service being produced by the exact same production companies. Since just a few months after Kevin Smith unleashed his "sequel" series Masters Of The Universe: Revelation Netflix and Mattel are back with yet another He-Man series with this one being a complete and total revamp of the franchise and so join me as I give you my first impression of the He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe 2021 TV series enjoy.

The plot of this episode is a thief called Teela steels the sword of power from the much hated King Randor and is tasked with finding a true champion to wield the sword of power and so she starts her quest by going to a tribe that's full to the brim with cats and other humans where she meets Adam who may or may not be willing to help her defeat a threat that has been tracking Teela since she stole the sword of power. Now then in terms of what I thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this episode was alot better then it really had any right to be since this show is being aimed at little little kids I thought that the plot for this episode was kind of dumb and pretty weak but nope the plot was honestly really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Yuri Lowenthal as Prince Adam / He-Man , David Kaye as Cringer / Battle Cat and Kimberly Brooks as Teela and The Sorceress. Also starring in this episode is Judy Alice Lee as Krass / Ram Ma'am , Tom Kenny as RK Units , Benjamin Diskin as Keldor /  Skeletor , the great Grey Griffin as Evelyn / Evil-Lyn , Roger Craig Smith as General Dolos , Antony Del Rio as Duncan / Man-At-Arms , Max Mitchel as Kitty and the great Fred Tatasciore as King Randor and Baddrah.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very episode was alot better then what it really had any right to be. Since nobody goes into a kids TV show expecting good acting and so I was in all honesty surprised to see that the acting that's in this episode was really freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.



So then doing the animation for not only this episode but for this show as a whole is CGCG and House of Cool Studios and well as you can see this show is the first ever Masters Of The Universe product that's 3D CGI animated instead of being 2D traditional hand drawn animated. In terms of what I thought about the animation that's in this episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the animation that's in this episode was really good altho I do have to admit that I found it weird that everything else was in CGI and yet the clouds and smoke seem to cell shaded which just looked a little bit and a little weird for me personally in my opinion anyways / at least.



Now then as you can all no doubt work out this TV series / TV show is a reimagining of the 1983 animated TV series / TV show He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe. Why Netflix and Mattel chose to produce two He-Man TV shows at the exact same time is beyond me since when marketing this show people would mistake this show for Masters Of The Universe: Revelation and as such I do feel that one of these two shows should have came out at the very least next year if not the year after just to give us a little bit of a breathing room between the He-Man shows in my opinion anyways / at least.

Not helping things is the fact that both this show and the 1983 original show both have the exact same name. Which now means people have to clarify which show they are now talking about which is bit of an annoying thing and plus it just goes to show that the makers of this new show have very little creativity when it comes to titles heck you could have just called this show either He-Man or simply just Masters Of The Universe and people would have known what brand name that this show is being associated with in my opinion anyways / at least.


I will very much admit that the marketing for this show didn't / doesn't this show any kind of justice whatsoever since the trailer for this show makes this show out to be like it's just for little little kids. When infact it's more for the whole family with this episode being very intense for little little kids but at the same time there are some scenes in this episode that little little kids will find to be rather freaking enjoyable in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and five seconds and well if i'm being very freaking honest here people this episode could and more importantly should have been alot freaking longer then that. Since there's more then enough there in terms of story to cover at the very least one hour and thirty minuets and on top of all of that your introducing a bunch of new characters and new world and so there's so much that you need to set up and that sadly isn't done in this very first episode and as such this very first episode of this show does indeed suffer for it in my opinion anyways / at least. 


Now then according to IMDB this show is being listed as an action show and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in my opinion anyways / at least the action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode is very passable at best. Which for a show where the main target audience is either very little kids or the whole family is something to be expected in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this honestly wasn't as bad of a first episode as I actually thought that it was going to be but tho with all of that being said this episode does indeed fail it doing alot of things that all good or even decent first episodes should do like setting up the central conflict of the show but for a more family friendly / family orientated version of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe this is honestly as good as you'd think that it is. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very post now then tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the show in question.

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