My First Impressions Of The Muppets Mayhem TV Series

 


Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem are a band that have apart of the The Muppets brand since The Muppet Show first debuted in the late sixties. Well now after almost fifty years of being the sideshow their now taking centre stage and to celebrate this fact i'll hopefully be reviewing the full show and so now then join me as I give my first impressions of the show that somewhat tries to bring the mayhem with the show in question being called simply just "The Muppets Mayhem" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is when it's discovered that the band too out an advance to make an album in the seventies a record label secretary tries to get the band to actually make an album. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the plot being the type of heartfelt plot that we'd expect from the creator of The Goldbergs but done in the stereotypical Muppet form in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is this shows co-creator  Bill Barretta as Dr. Teeth and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph as Penny Waxman. Also starring in these episodes is Dave Goelz as Zoot , Eric Jacobson as Animal , Peter Linz as Lips , David Rudman as Janice , Matt Vogel as Floyd Pepper , Anders Holm as JJ , James Hong as Chef Dan , Jennifer Irwin as Delilah Gertz , Ducktales 2017 and Sonic The Hedgehog film star Ben Schwartz as Gus D'Vore , Lilly Singh as Nora , Tahj Mowry as Moog and Saara Chaudry as Hannah.

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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the The Muppet performers doing great as their characters which is to be expected given the fact that alot of them have been playing their respective characters for decades at this point but what let's these episodes is the acting from the human cast who were just very wooden , lifeless and boring.



For a show that has the word mayhem in it's title there's oddly enough very little mayhem to be found in these first three episodes. Which for a show that has The Electric Mayhem as it's lead characters you'd think that the show would feature plenty of mayhem and yet in these first three episodes there's barely any kind of mayhem at all which makes the show feel tame which shouldn't be the case at all as The Electric Mayhem are always anarchic in all of there appearances and yet for some strange reason in these first three episodes there just not bringing the mayhem at all. 


Speaking of the band they are really good in these first three episodes and feel alot more like a family then they previously have done. With the band mostly being written very well I say mostly because something happens in episode three which I won't go into here because it's a spoiler but it feels out of character for the band to be acting they way that they do in episode three of this show which is a shame because when this show gets the band down well we get alot of really funny moments out of them but sadly tho the show really doesn't get the band down well all the time.

This show was co-created by the creator of The Goldbergs Adam F. Goldberg and you can tell because his fingerprints are all over this show. Right down to each of the first three episodes not only having an ending song but also having a deep emotional message to them the second of which got really old really fast and I hope to god that that trope doesn't continue on in the rest of the episodes because not all episodes need to have a big emotional final scene to them sometimes just ending on a joke is good enough and that should be the case for anything involving The Muppets.


I'm just going to be honesty this shows human cast of characters just aren't that interesting and the show almost sows to a crawl whenever they appear on screen. Which is a shame because they get alot of the really big emotional moments in the first three episodes and it just doesn't work because those characters aren't written all that well and are acted even worse and while they might improve over the rest of the series when you start them of on rocky foundations it doesn't matter how they end up because the foundations for them were so really bad in the first place.

Now then the first three episodes of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty nine minuets with each episode being around the twenty eight minuet mark. Which for a Muppets TV show is a bit on the long side with these first three episodes not really needing to be as long as they are as you can very cut alot a good five minuets from each episode but I will very gladly admit that each of the first three episodes do indeed have some really good pacing to them with each of the episodes really just flying by. 


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As there are some bad jokes to be found in these first three episodes but when the show tells a really good joke you really do know about it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show so far is a pretty decent show altho I don't know why Disney decided to release all of the shows ten episodes on the same day as they don't usually do that and it's not really something that works for well for this kind of show at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first three episodes in this very post and since i'm planning to review the show as a whole tomorrow i'm not going to be rating the show just yet.

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 used in this very post from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images from this show being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being very fairly high in definition.

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures TV Series Review

 


Star Wars fans the franchise has always produced content that's for teens and has never done anything that's aimed at pre-schooler's. Well that all ended as on May 4th Disney and Lucasfilm released all seven episodes of a brand new animated show that's aimed at pre-schooler's and so then join me as I review the show that dares to aim for an audience that Star Wars hasn't really made anything for or even tried to make anything for with the TV show in question being called simply just "Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures" enjoy.

The plot of this show is three younglings start training to be Jedi nights at a new temple and embark on many adventures. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well 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 show was in all honesty not that bad with this shows plot being as sweet and inoffensive as you'd want from a show that's being aimed at pre-schooler's in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this show is Jamaal Avery Jr. as Kai Brightstar and Dee Bradley Baker as Nubs , Adult Pirate and an Alien Patron. Also starring in this show is Eric Bauza as EB-3 , Emma Berman as Nash Durango , Juliet Donenfeld as Lys Solay , Sarah Kramer as Pord and A Patron , Taran Killam as Hap , Jonathan Lipow as RJ-83 , Dee and Kumpa , Trey Murphy as Taborr Val Dorn , Piotr Michael as Yoda and Nasim Pedrad as Zia Zanna.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well 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 show was in all honesty not that bad. With this show mostly using child voice actors to voice alot of it's main cast and it's kid cast do do a passable job i this show and by that I mean none of them are annoying but the cast aren't really given all that much to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities are.



Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at ICON Creative Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually / featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. However the character designs are all of with alot of the characters having these really big heads which just look really weird and are very of putting as well. 


This is our first piece of Star Wars media to be set in the The High Republic era which I really didn't mind. As it's an era that hasn't been explored in either TV shows , video games or movies and so to have an entire show set within this era to me makes sense as it means that we could see alot more of what the Star Wars universe was like at that point in it's time line as apposed to seeing it in the more familiar timelines which don't get me wrong I love those timelines but it's always nice to see something new and to see a new part of Star Wars history being told to us from an era of which we know really very little about.

Incase your wondering why this is a review and not a first impressions well it's because of the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm have released the shows first seven episodes on Disney+. Which to me makes no sense as you could have gotten more kids to watch the show if you released the episodes weekly like they are doing with the shows Disney Junior release which to me makes alot more sense as the shows kid auidence can now have a better chance of connecting with this cast of characters and that means that you can sell more toys which means that you make more money from the show.


This show is as inoffensive as it gets which is to be expected from a show who's main target audience is pre-schooler's. However with that being said I feel that this show could have been so much better just because this show fails at the most basic things with their being very little to no conflict in most of the shows episodes and the characters have next to no personality which is bad enough for a show that's aimed at a much older audience but it's worse when it's in a show that's aimed at pre-schooler's because it just shows that the makers of this show are lazy and that's it.

Now then this show has seven episodes all of which are no longer then twenty four minuets and nine seconds. With sadly each episode being split up into two eleven minute segments which is fine for some episodes but the first episode really could have just been one episode as it had alot of things to set up and heck given the plot of that episode you very easily could have released that episode as a forty to forty five minute special episode and while alot of the episodes do have some good pacing sadly alot more of them don't have good pacing with the episodes just rushing from plot point to plot point because of the fact that the next segment is about to start up any minute now.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Which for a pre-schooler's show was something that I expected to be the case just because those type pf shows very rarely if ever have great or memorable action in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this isn't a bad show for very little kids as there's nothing in this show that will harm in any kind of way and it's a great show to show very little kids that are interested in watching Star Wars as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With 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 Star Wars fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of Unicorn: Warriors Eternal

 


There are so few legends when it comes to the world of TV animation with one of those legends being Genndy Tartakovsky. Has just dropped the first two episodes of his new TV series which if it's anything like his previous work then you know that it's going to be great and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that will most likely be getting alot of love with the show in question being called simply just "Unicorn: Warriors Eternal" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is when an ancient evil awakens three warriors who have thought the evil before in the past have to awoken in their current bodies. 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 / resented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad with the plot doing a very good job of setting up the heroes in a very organic way and could be possibly be setting up a somewhat interesting character arc as well which has all of the potential to be really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these very episodes is Hazel Doupe as Emma and voice acting legend Grey Griffin as Melinda and A Mysterious Woman. Also starring in these very episodes is Demari Hunte as Alfie , Alain Uy as Seng , Tom Milligan as Dmitri , Jacob Dudman as Edred , Ron Bottita as Lord Edward Fairfax , Infinity Train and American Gods star Jeremy Crutchley as Merlin and George Webster as Winston.

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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of these episodes cast members turning in some really good performances which when the script is this good isn't that hard to do as all you'd have to do is just say the words as there written and boom a good performance would come out alot more naturally.


Doing the animation for not only these episodes but also the show as a whole is Studio La Cachette and Studio Zmei. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about 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 very episodes was in all honesty really good with this shows animation being feature film worthy as it's that damned good.


This film deals with the fact that one persons soul can carry on living in a new body which was something that I found to be really interesting. As it means that the characters can have literally hundreds of years worth of experience and yet still have to deal with things that other ordinary people would have to deal with which makes the show feel fresh and different as there's really no show out right now that has this idea as part of their show and how this show handles that idea is really comedic and could also very tragic as well.

I really did like the character of Emma / Melinda as she was a pretty fun character and I can't wait to see more of her. Altho I will admit that the first episode have constantly doing something which i'm not going to spoil as it's a key plot point of the whole entire episode which I found to be rather annoying as it's something that they didn't need to as often as they did but I get it that it's part of the characters arc but you still could have done it in away that didn't make the character come across as being rather annoying. 


There are some comedic moments in these first two episodes which I really did like as it felt like hose moments where the calm before the storm. With the shows comedy also being rather good as well with there being quite alot of really funny moments just in these first two episodes alone and that was something that I really liked as from the trailers it looks like that this show is going to get really dark really quickly and so to have these more lighthearted moments in the show just makes all the more sense.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grad total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and forty three seconds whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and fifty six seconds. With this show having the bogstanderd twenty two minuets per episode running time I really do think that that running time is the perfect time for a show like this one to have and to this shows credit just based of off the first two episodes alone it really does make the best use of that running time and both episodes really do have some good pacing to both of them.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With the action so far being really good but at the same time there really wasn't that much action in both of these first two episodes but what little action that we did get in these first two episodes was really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this show seems like it will be another fan favorite for creator Genndy Tartakovsky as it really does have have all the hallmarks of being a really great show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

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 Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page , the official Primal fandom wiki page and Google Images. With 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 Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Unicorn: Warriors Eternal fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Star Wars Visions Volume 2 Review

 


Star Wars fans i'm currently writing this review on May 4th and to celebrate this day Disney have decided to release quite a few Star Wars content ranging from animated films to full fledged animated series. With one of those series being one that I was highly looking forward to and so then join me as I review the second season of the show that ditches the anime theming of it's first season for a world wide theming with the show in question being called simply just "Star Wars Visions" enjoy.

As with the first season this season of the show doesn't have a plot with each short film having it's own plot. Now then interms of what i personally thought / felt about the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes were really good with episode two of this show having the best plot of this whole entire season in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Úrsula Corberó as Lola , Luis Tosar as The Sith Master and Eva Whittaker as Daal. Also starring in this show is Alex Connolly as Baython , Noah Rafferty as Quinn , Molly McCann as Keena , The Addams Family star Anjelica Huston as Sith Mother , Niamh Moyles as Ghost , Valentina Muhr as Koten , Julia Oviedo as Tichina , Maxine Peake as Kalina Kalfus , Charithra Chandran as Annisoukaline Kalfus , Daisy Haggard as Dorota Van Reeple , Bebe Cave as Julan Van Reeple , Denis Lawson as Wedge Antilles , Ashley Park as Ara and Young Ara , Eugene Lee Yang as Toul , Daniel Dae Kim as Bichan , Camille Cottin as Loi’e , Lambert Wilson as Jon , Kaycie Chase as Hétis , Uraj Sharma as Charuk , Sonal Kaushal as Rani , Neeraj Kabi as An Inquisitor , Lillete Dubey as Rugal , Sahil Vaid as Maghadi and A Scavenger , Daveed Diggs as Crux , Anika Noni Rose as Eureka and Mother , Jordyn Curet as Livy , Mpilo Jantjie as Aau , Tumisho Masha as Abat , Cynthia Erivo as Kratu and Faith Baloyi as Attu.

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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With all of the cast members for this season turning in some really good performances be they funny or just straight up dramatic each and every actors and actress that's starring in this season really did bring there A game acting wise.



Doing the animation for these episodes are El Guiri , Cartoon Saloon , Punkrobot , Aardman , Studio Mir , Studio La Cachette , 88 Pictures , D'Art Shtajio and Lucasfilm and Triggerfish. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these 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 episodes was in all honesty really good with all of the episodes animation that showcases why each studio was chosen and showcases alot of why and how these studios produce some really good animation in each of their outings.


This isn't really a spoiler but it's something that as a fan of Aardman that I really loved but in their episodes there's an easter egg relating to A Grand Day Out. Which I was not expecting but at the same time when I saw it I rewound the scene that it appears in just because it was so cool to see them reference something that alot of people might have forgotten about and it makes me wonder if there are more hidden easter eggs in their other films and TV shows as well just because it seems so out of place to include one in this short film and nothing else.

I will very much admit that unlike the first series batch of episodes the episodes in this series were for the most part very lackluster. With their being not that many strong or even memorable episodes this time around but when you compare that with the first series that had alot of memorable and strong episodes it makes me wonder why are the episodes in this series just not as good as the ideas that alot of this series shorts gives us are alot stronger then the ones in the first series but for some reason the episodes as a whole are better in the first series then they are in this series.


While alot of this seasons episodes are strikingly beautiful to look at alot of them are either a story about or involving a jedi or about or involving the sith. Which does get boring after a while as those stories all end with either that sith being defeated or that jedi recruiting someone new to join the jedi order and that's just not that interesting as to me the most interesting and the most fun stories to see in this show as a whole are the ones that dare to try and do something new and focus on people who perhaps wouldn't be given any screen time anywhere else.

Now then the longest episode of this season is episode five which has / had an grand total running time of exactly eighteen minuets and one second with the shortest episode of this season being episode four which has / had a grand total running time of exactly eleven minuets and thirty two seconds. With all of this seasons episodes not lasting over twenty minuets but I will admit that when you run into an episode that could have been longer you really do feel just like you do when you run into an episode that could have been shorter but I will admit that alot of these episode really do have some really good pacing to them tho.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really cool. With this shows action being almost on par with the action that we get in the live action Star Wars movies with episode five having the best action just due to how well built up it's action is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this isn't a bad season of the show it's quite clearly not as good as this shows first season was this is despite having alot of really good looking episodes and some interesting plots 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 show in this very review and as such that means that this very season earns itself a really grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With 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 Star Wars fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Star Wars fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Muppets Now: Sleep Mode Review

 


Muppets fans The Muppets are about a week away from launching their new show which might be the first Muppets show not to feature Kermit The Frog in it's main cast. However alot of people seem to have forgotten about the fact that there was another Muppets TV show that came out just a few short years ago and well then I thought that i'd take a look at one of those episodes right now and so then join me as I review the episode that does everything that it says on the tin with the episode in question being called simply just "Sleep Mode" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after pulling an all nighter Scooter finds that he has just thirty minuets to  upload the sketches for The Muppets new show and so enlists the help of Animal to help him to stay awake. 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 not that bad as it was really very entertaining just seeing the amount of really creative and really very funny ways that Animal would try to keep Scooter from falling asleep in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Bill Barretta as Pepe The King Prawn , The Swedish Chef and Dr. Teeth and Dave Goelz as Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Zoot and Chip. Also starring in this episode is Eric Jacobson as Animal and Miss Piggy , Peter Linz as Joe The Legal Weasel and Beepalyzer , David Rudman as Scooter , Beaker , Miss Poogy and Janice , Matt Vogel as Kermit The Frog , Uncle Deadly and Floyd Pepper , Julianne Buescher as Beverly Plume and Elena , Linda Cardellini as Herself , Taye Diggs as Himself , Giuseppe Losavio as Himself and Aubrey Plaza as Herself.

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 not that bad. With all of the Muppet performers turning in some really good performances which is to be expected as alot of them have been playing there respective characters for decades at this point and so they would now how best to perform that character in any given situation.



I really do like the idea of The Muppets doing what can only be described as The Muppet Show but if it was made for Youtube. Which really is a good idea because it's a great way of modernizing the variety show concept whilst at the same time keeping The Muppets as true to who they are as is humanly possible my only real issue with the concept is that they don't take full advantage not just in this episode but in any episode which is a shame because the idea itself opens itself up to alot of really cool ideas for both jokes and stories.


I really liked the fact that alot of the segments that each Muppet characters hosts feels true to who they are as a character like The Swedish Chief hosting a cooking show or Miss Piggy hosting a lifestyle show. My only real gripe is that alot of the segments especially is this episode have storylines in them that go nowhere like for example in the one with Dr. Bunsen and Beaker where they find there old computer who has become very depressed and yet the segment does nothing with this storyline heck they don't even end the segment with a joke and that's true for alot of the segments in this episode where they just end in a way that really does feel rather unnatural.

As much as I really enjoyed the scenes with Scooter and Animal I really do think that those scenes could have been done better. Just by expanding upon them which would in turn allows us to find out why Scooter has been awake for thirty six hours straight but at the same time given that this show and this episode is meant to be a long Youtube video by expanding upon the wraparound scenes it would mean taking time away from the segments which would in turn only serve to hurt the episode as a whole.


As with alot of new Muppets shows we get a new Muppet in the case of this show it was Joe The Legal Weasel. Who I just loved and the fact that he was in this episode only made the episode even better for as he was genuinely entertaining and I hope that he shows up in future Muppets projects just because there are alot of jokes that you could get out of this one character and he really did make what was a rather dull episode seem all the more brighter just because of how entertaining this characters really was.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty seven seconds. Which while that is the bog standard running time for this show to have it's still a bit of long running as this show is just basically repeating itself and there's only so many times that you can see the same joke with the same characters happen over and over again before it starts to get boring which in the case of this episode was really quick and as such this whole show would have been served if it's segments where instead a series of Youtube videos but I will admit that this episode had some decent pacing to it tho.


So now then this is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As this episode did have some pretty funny moments in it like anything with The Swedish Chief for example but for every good joke that this episode tells it very quickly follows it up with two or perhaps even three really bad ones in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall I can see why alot of people have forgotten about Muppets Now and I will admit that this was a decent episode of what was otherwise a pretty forgettable show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally 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 Disney fandom wiki page and the official The Muppets fandom wiki page. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being very fairly high in definition.

Star Wars Visions: The Twins Review

 


Star Wars fans we are now just a few very short days away from Lucasfilm debuting the latest of season of the show that really did take alot of people by surprise. It's just a shame that the second season of this show isn't going to be anime focused but this gave me the chance to revisit one of the episodes from the shows first season and so then join me as I review the episode that doesn't have that many characters in it with the episode in question being called simply just "The Twins" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when he discovers that his sister will die soon sith Karre sets out on a mission to stop his fellow sith sister from being killed. 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 not that bad with this episodes plot being really very engaging and as well as being really quite very entertaining as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is How I Met Your Mother , Starship Troopers , The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent , The Matrix Resurrections and Doogie Howser, M.D. star Neil Patrick Harris as Karre and Scream 4 , The Lego Movie , The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part , Community and GLOW star Alison Brie as Am. Also starring in this episode is Jonathan Lipow as B-2ON , T-Imperial Crew and T-Stormtroopers and Marc Thompson as T-Stormtrooper.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the 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 not that bad. I sat this because while the acting that we got in this episode was very serviceable I also felt that this episodes cast were very miscast with Neil Patrick Harris being a prime example of this as even tho he's a great actor he's just not right for this kind of action hero type of role and the same thing goes for Alison Brie as well.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio Trigger. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as it was really good but at the same time it felt like Trigger was really holding back on what they can do.


For me the highlight of this episode was seeing the relationship between Karre and AM which to me was really interesting. As in all of Star Wars media I don;t think that we've seen twins that are born as Sith before now and so seeing there relationship play out knowing that the sister is basically pure evil was really fascinating and it's just a shame that the episode really doesn't take the time to delve into their relationship as you could have gotten some very interesting between the two characters which would have added to the episodes overall quality.

This episode as with maybe "The Duel" is a short film that I would have liked to have seen turned into a full anime series. Just because there's so much potential their with the story to give us something that we haven't seen done in Star Wars before now and given just how this episode ends it very much felt like that they could do more adventures with these characters and the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm really haven't done anything with these characters yet they give The Duel both a novel and a comic book just doesn't make sense to me as this is the story that has alot more potential to be a great anime series.


What I really didn't like about this episode is the fact that none of the lead characters felt that fully formed. As we don't get to really find out anything about either main character which is kind of understandable as this is an anthology series but at the same time this is the only chance that we're getting to see these characters and yet they come across as boring one dimensional characters which does make it hard to route for them which is a shame because these characters have the potential to be some really good characters.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly sixteen minuets and fifty seconds. Which was a bit on the short side for me just because I felt that you very easily could have stretched this story out to thirty minuets which by doing so would then allow the makers of this episode to fully develop it's characters alot more and would also the makers of this episode to fully flesh out it's story as well but I will however that while this episode does have bad pacing in some parts it does have some decent pacing in other parts of this episode.


So now then since this is an action show that means that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As this episode really does give us a unique setting for an action sequence that being the out of a Star Destroyer which was something that I really did like even tho it really had me wondering how in the heck these two characters are actually breathing in outer space but it was still a really cool setting tho for an action scene in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really good episode that got me excited for season 2 of this show even if it because I get to see some new Aardman Animations and Cartoon Saloon work and this still a really 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 means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page and Google Images. With 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Extreme Ghostbusters "Darkness At Noon Parts One And Two" Review


The Ghostbusters franchise is one that's seeing a bit of resurgence in popularity in more recent years with the hit film Ghostbusters: Afterlife spawning a currently filming sequel. However that wasn't always the case tho as in the mid to late nineties the franchise was as good as dead but there was one TV show that dared to bring the franchise back from the dead and so then join me as I review the first two episodes of the show that joined in every nineties crazy by being labelled extreme with the both of the episodes in question both being called simply just "Darkness At Noon" enjoy.

The plot of these episodes is years after the Ghostbusters went out of business due to their being no ghost Egon suddenly discovers a new ghost is haunting New York and so a new team is needed to bust this ghost once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these 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 but at the same time it was a little bit on the thin side tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in these episodes is Susan Tyrrell as Achira , Jason Marsden as Garrett Miller and Voice acting legend Tara Strong as Kylie Griffin. Also starring in these episodes is Rino Romano as Eduardo Rivera , The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air star Alfonso Ribeiro as Roland Jackson , Voice acting legend Maurice LaMarche as Egon Spengler , Pat Musick as Janine Melnitz and Voice acting legend Billy West as Slimer.

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 acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the cast members from this show turning in some good performances which really shouldn't be all that much of a surprise as this show's cast is mostly made up up voice acting legends.



Doing the animation for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Koko Enterprise Company, Ltd. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about 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 very episodes was in all honesty bot that bad as the characters do have some nice movement to them and the backgrounds where nice but for some strange reason episode two is mostly colored either all blue , brown or purple which was very distracting and really annoying.


For that one person that loved Ghostbusters 2016 this show is a good example of how to write an actually good female character. As the character of Kylie is written as a character who is not only respectful of Ghostbusters past but she actually has flaws and it's those flaws that get her into live threatening danger in these first two episodes and seeing her overcome these flaws makes her more of a relatable character and is quite easily one of the best new characters that this franchise has introduced it's really just a shame then that she's largely been forgotten about over time.

For those of you that don't know this show s a sequel to The Real Ghostbusters and the first episode of this show does a decent job of telling us where three of that shows main characters are in their lives. However I would have liked it if we got to see the original Ghostbusters just because that's who the fans of this franchise are coming to see and while we do get to them later on in the show you very easily could have had them appear in the cold open for episode one of this show with the cold open being a flashback just to show that Egon still thinks about his old friends. 


To me there was a lost opportunity to have a long running story arc as you very easily could have a season long story arc with Egon trying to recover from his ghost illness. Heck you very easily could have stretched it out to the whole of New York City with the city not really trusting the Ghostbusters as they'd have no real reason to until we get to the finale where the city eventually trusts this new Ghostbusters team and Egon and the rest of the city recover from their disease this also would have given Kylie some more character development as it was she that attacked several people while she was possessed and it would have given the team a chance to see what it like when the city that your trying to protect doesn't fully trust you.

Now then these episodes has / had a combined grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and nine seconds. With this story being two episodes which I believe was longer then what was originally planned as this was originally meant to be one episode but episode one ran longer then they thought and so they made it into a two part episode but this episode should have been three episodes just because of how much it has to set up and because of this short running time it means that alot of stuff like most of the characters personalities get's left on the cutting room floor but I will however admit that these episodes really did have some really good pacing to them.


So now then since that is a comedy and there is some comedy in these very episodes that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Altho I will admit that these episodes have alot more bad jokes in them then they do good jokes in them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall as sad as it is to say I can see why this show has become forgotten about as this show and these first two episodes are very forgettable episodes which is a shame because they are some really good episodes 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 these very episodes in this very review and as such that means that these very episodes earn themselves a grand total combined score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Ghostbusters fandom wiki page and Google Images. With 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 Ghostbusters fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Ghostbusters fandom wiki page  are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
