Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! "Hassle In The Castle" Review

It's been quite a while since I last covered anything from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! which is such a shame as this sow is one that alot of us really did grow up watching. As such I thought that it was only about right that I put an end to this dry spell by reviewing the very next episode of the show with this episode being a really fun and creepy episode that really does bring the horror aspect of the show to the front and centre of the episode itself and so then join me as I review the episode that has alot of images from the shows intro in it with the episode in question being called simply just "Hassle In The Castle" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the gang find themselves stranded on a mysterious island they find themselves being haunted by a ghost and have to solve the mystery of who this ghost is before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual episode that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt tat the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as thus episodes plot while it could be seen as being rather generic for this show it also was early enough in this shows run that it does get away with it as well with this episodes plot being a bit more horror focused then the rest of the sows plots had been up until this point in time which is something that does make this episodes plot more of a must watch for fans of supernatural horror films and yet still somehow being more kid friendly then what it really had any right to be but at the same time tho this episodes plot really isn't all that good as all it does is give you the bare bones of a plot and that's really it and while that might be par the course for this show it is something that is still an issue with the plot of this episode at it makes the plot of the episode as a whole come across as being really weak when that's simply not even close to being true at all with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is voice acting legend Don Messick as Scooby-Doo , The Phantom , Bluestone The Great and The Police Officer. Also starring in this episode is Battle Of The Planets star Casey Kasem as Shaggy Rogers , voice acting royalty and legend Frank Welker as Fred Jones , Here Comes The Grump star Stefanianna Christopherson as Daphne Blake and The Trouble With Girls star Nicole Jaffe as Velma Dinkley.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's not really all that surprising as all of this episodes actors are not only some really good voice actors in their own right but are so well known for voicing these characters that for many they simply are the voice of these characters and heck out of all of them only Frank Welker is still with the franchise to this very day and is still playing Fred Jones as well as that's just how good of a voice actor that he really is with the actors acting in this episode being just as good as you'd really want it to be with it being clear as day that there all getting alot more comfortable in their roles which is something that really does shine through in the final cut of the episode with the true stand out performer in this episode being Don Messick as he has to play several characters and make them all sound unique and distinct enough that your not going to get them confused with any other character and still put in a really good performance in this episode which is something that really does do really rather well in this episode with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Hanna-Barbera Productions. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty shockingly good with there not really being any animation errors in this episode and even more shockingly for a Hanna-Barbera project there was very few if any any repeating backgrounds with this episodes animation really making the creepy looking castle look gothic and quite creepy and while yes the characters do have there usual fluid animation when it comes to there walking they also get really fluid with the animation when Daphne falls down a trap a door which whilst it does look good it does also seem an odd place to put some really good animation but at the same time tho this episode does have one error that highlights just how cheap Hanna-Barbera really was as there is a room in this episodes main setting that despite being shown to match the color scheme of the whole castle in previous scenes for one brief shot with Scooby-Doo near the end of the episode it's shown to have these really garish pink walls and grey boards both of with nothing lighting it which is something that could have been fixed if the animators took another pass at that one simple and very easy to do shot but because of the fact that Hanna-Barbera was so cheap we do end up with alot of shots like this one in alot of there shows and movies as well.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this episode does give us quite alot imagery from the shows opening intro. Be it Daphne walking away before a ghostly hand reaches out for her to the gang getting warned by The Phantom it's all in this one episode and it's all something that does make the episode worth watching if you were wondering where those scenes came from or even if you just someone who really loves Scooby-Doo as they are some great scenes and heck the the scene with gang getting a warning by The Phantom is so good that they makers of this episode chose to literally repeat the exact same scene which works for and against the episode as a whole it works for the episode as it does help to establish the fact that this character is meant to be a genuine threat to the gang but it against the episode for two reasons the first one being we just saw this exact same scene a few minuets ago and so of course we the audience are going to notice that it's really quite literally the exact same shot as before and secondly it makes Hanna-Barbera look even more cheap then what they already are as they could really could have fully animated a brand new scene to get across more of the fact that this character really is meant to be a threat to the gangs life with this having the added bonus of making the episode look better because of it and yet even really tho the fact that they repeated the scene really doesn't take away from the episode as a whole it still does add an air of cheapness to this episode as a whole as well.

There are some bad things about this episode tho like the fact that they don't really give The Phantom much in the way of personality. Heck we don't even get to find out why he's scaring people until right before the end credits start to role which again is pretty par the course for this show but the same time tho the other episodes usually have alot more supporting characters in them so you can kind of forgive them as there trying to make the mystery aspect of the episode as good as it could possibly be but here because of the fact that there are no supporting characters to make you wonder who it could be and heck we don't even get to meet who The Phantom is until he's unmasked and therefor the makers of this episode really should have put alot more effort into making The Phantom have more of a personality and while the episode does gets credit for at the vert least trying to make him creepy with the creepy looking castle and the fact that he's a ghost when you look at his costume however it doesn't make you scared of him it just makes you laugh at him as all it is is basically someone's bedding with eye holes and thats really it and while that might be great a Halloween costume for a Scooby-Doo villain where you can go and be a little bit more creepy and scary that's not enough and while granted this show is made for kids and so you can't really scare them all that much but at the same time tho kids love to be scared and therefor having a villain that looks a little bit more creepy would work really well in this episodes favor.

Oddly enough one of this episodes biggest weaknesses it's mystery aspect as they not only don't have anyone that you can say is a suspect in the episode but there's also no to build up with the gang realizing how The Phantom travels around the castle. With that part coming right at the end of the episode and it's right of nowhere almost as if it was more of an afterthought then something that the makers of this episode did intentionally while the episode does show the gang not only looking for but also finding clues they don't exactly set up for the main culprit of the episode is thus making it more of a surprise when they do the big reveal which is something that they do explain away in a way that does make some sort of sense for the episode but at the same time given the fact that a mystery does require suspects having the main villain be set up at the start of the episode outside of his Phantom disguise is something that would have made alot of sense even if he's just seen in the background somewhere and yet by not doing that there robbing us the audience of a chance to work it out for ourselves which does in turn make this mystery feel like the type of mystery that they'd put in a later Scooby-Doo movie rather then something that they would have done in an episode of the show as the movies don't typically set up who the main villain is either and yet the show would typically show of who the main villain is at the start of the episode which makes it all the more odd that they went and did it not only in this show as well but this early on in the shows run as it's something that doesn't really work not only for this show but for this franchise as a whole either.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and fifty seven seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this shoe to have and to this episodes credit this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really over that amount of running time however tho due to the fact that this episode really doesn't have any suspects to it whatsoever this episode really can't use it's running time all that wisely as not only do we not get to see more of the castle which would have been great to see as it would have made the episode feel alot more creepier and bigger then what it actually is but they also don't flesh out the mystery aspect of the episode by giving us suspects which would then allow for us the audience the chance to work out for ourselfs who did and to work why they did it as well and yet because of the fact that the episode didn't bother to do any of that it means that they have to pull something out of nothing when it would have made alot more sense for there to be more suspects and heck they could even have kept the same motivation because the police officer at the end of the episode even states that the gold that this episodes criminal was after is also really sought after by other people and so it would have made perfect sense for there to be alot more people there at the castle during this episode then what we ultimately ended up seeing but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really 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 there some really funny moments to be found in this episode alot of which oddly enough do include Scooby-Doo himself with very few of them including quite literally anybody else in the gang which is something that does make sense as afterall the show is named after Scooby-Doo and it therefor does make sense that he would get alot of the episodes jokes with the best one being the joke where Scooby pretends to be ill just to avoid being bate for The Phantom which works not only because of the fact that it was set up earlier on in the episode where he tried a very similar tactic only this time it was avoid looking around a creepy looking room but also because of the fact that it does feel like it was in character for Scooby-Doo to do something like that and it's something that movies like Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo , Scooby-Doo . Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and Scooby-Doo! And Kiss: Rock And Roll Mystery forgot to do despite alot of them being good films and having there own funny moment with Scooby-Doo in them where as here alot of his jokes felt in character for him and because of that they all came across as being really funny jokes in there own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was a decent but flawed episode as it doesn't really give the mystery part of the episode all that much attention when it's something that should have been getting more attention then what the actual comedy part of the episode was getting as people come to Scooby-Doo for the mystery and not the comedy 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 a such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself 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 o the images hat I personally used in this very review from the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV Series "Plan Six From Outer Space" Review

While there have been quite a few animated TV shows featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles it's the 1987 series that is remembered alot more. With that being due to the fact that for many myself included it was the show that not only introduced them to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but it was also the version of the characters that they grew up with and since it's really been a while since I last reviewed an episode of the show I thought that now was the right time to take another look at an episode from the classic series and sot then join me as I review as the episode that sees Raphael break the fourth wall with the episode in question being called simply just "Plan Six From Outer Space" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Shredder and Krang send Bebop and Rocksteady down to earth from Dimension X to help get them the Channel 6 news building so that they can use it's equipment to get back to earth it's up to the turtles to stop them and there robotic Splinter before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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 but at the same time tho this episodes plot wasn't all that particularly good either as all it was was basically just a set up for the "Vacations In Europe" episodes which where produced for season 4 and take place during season 4 but didn't air until season 7 with this episodes plot being something that is solid enough for this era of the show but at the same time tho given that the live action movie had just came out and had shown kid audiences what a more mature take on the turtles could look like it's weird that this show would just go straight back to sticking with what worked before it with this episode as while yes granted this episode and this season would have been produced sometime before the movie there still should have been some effort to tell a more mature story but do it in a way that works with the 1987 series with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Cam Clarke as Leonardo and Rocksteady and Barry Gordon as Donatello and Bebop. Also starring in this episode is Rob Paulsen as Raphael and The Clothing Store Owner , Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo Peter Renaday as Splinter / Pretendicon Splinter and Vernon Fenwick , Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil , Pat Fraley as Krang , Burne Thompson , The Channel 6 Security Guard and The Channel 6 Job Interviewer and James Avery as The Shredder and Punk With Knife.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very 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. Which is something that's to be expected at this point in time as all of this episodes had been playing there respective characters for the best part of four years at the point in time and there for it would make alot of sense that they really would know how best to perform there characters as well with this really being helped by the fact that all of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors in there own right and therefor would be turn in a good performance anyways with even the likes of both Rob Paulsen and Townsend Coleman being voice acting legends with this episode really being a tour de force for actors Cam Clarke and Barry Gordon with both of them really being the true standouts of the episode from an acting point of view as both actors have alot of screen time and really have to carry the whole entire episode as both Bebop and Rocksteady something that surely couldn't have been a really easy task to do from an acting perspective with this episodes really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally something which does really help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is either Hanho Heung-Up Company , Island Animation , Luk Film , Pacific Rim Production , Varga Studio and Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the 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 really good as even tho it was hard to say which animation company actually did the animation for this episode the quality of the animation was still really high a a late eighties or early nineties TV show and while the animation could have been alot more better in other places there really wasn't any of the series trademark animation errors that plagues the first few episodes of this show but at the same time this episodes animation also quite clearly wasn't the series best looking animation as alot of it just felt like that the animators where just putting only the bare minimum and really nothing more then that as there are shots in this episode where the characters either look like that there on dr*gs or are dead inside and those are issues that really could have been fixed if the artist working on them at the time did another drawing of the scene in question and by the fact that they didn't does say that the whoever was doing the animation whilst they were doing a good job in some places weren't doing a good job in other places as well.

In what was a really strange and bizarre move this episode actually sees Raphael break the fourth wall at least twice in the episode. With the first one being a little bit more subtle as after saying something about a sausage factor he then asks for no one to ask him to say that again but the second one is just straight up not subtle as it's just him having a rant about the writer of the episode not coming up with something original for the turtles to do other then look for pepperoni which just felt so out of place not only for this show but for the character as well as while they were some really funny things to have the character say in the episode neither the character nor the show had really broken the fourth wall yet and as a result of that is the fact that it was strange to see the opening episode of the fourth season of this show do exactly that and while the first one was a bit more subtle as it could be read as the character asking his brothers not to ask him say something that is a it of tongue twister but the second instance is without the shadow of a doubt the character breaking the fourth wall and it's something that really fits this character as this version of the character wouldn't do something like that as neither he nor any of the other characters in this show no that there fictional characters and while it is something that this show could do due to it's more lighthearted approach to the source material and characters from a character point of view it's not something that really makes a whole lot of sense in anyway shape or form.

As was mentioned at the start of this review this episode this episode basically serves as the start for the "Vacations In Europe" episodes from season seven. As the turtles have a few scenes spread throughout the episode where they express there desire to take a vacation somewhere in europe something that they do get to do at the end of episode and yet even tho those batch of thirteen episodes where produced for and are set during this season of the show they for some strange reason aired during the shows seventh season which makes no sense as now this season is without a hook for the rest of the season when it would have made perfect sense to have them air right after this episode and as this episode and a batch of other episodes from this season aired in syndication then the makers of this show could have had them air daily for about a month or two before then going to back to the rest of the episodes that were planned for this season instead of creating a mixed chronology of events where now certain episodes that aired during season 7 now actually took place three years prior to the rest of the season and while they could fix that by having story beats that are payed of in season 7 first get mentioned and set up during those holiday episodes that's not really something that this show had done before now and as a result of that is the fact that it wouldn't make sense for them to do for these batch of episodes either when all they had to do was just air those holiday episodes the day after this episode first aired in syndication.

While this episode does introduce the idea of the turtles having to fight of some sort of clone version of Splinter. The episode really doesn't go all they way with it by having the real Splinter not only meet his robotic self but also have a fight with him or even have the turtles discuss the idea of fighting who they believe to be there father something that would have brought them alot of pain to do and yet the second that the fake Splinter starts acting hostile towards them there ready to go into an fight with him which does seem out of character even for this version of the characters and yet if the makers of this show even took the time to have the turtles discuss if they really should be fighting Splinter first before then going to attack him then it would show that while yes they are willing to fight him there doing it because of the fact that it's right thing to do even tho it's something that could be killing them inside and even if they didn't go that route and instead went the route of having both versions of Splinter meet up either in New York City itself or even in the layer and have those two fight that is something that could be alot of fun for us the audience to watch and it would give Splinter something to do other then show up every now and then which is something that does end up happening in this episode either one would have worked because it would have been using that idea of having a robotic Splinter be used in the right way instead of having the character appear in what could be seen as being some really comedic scenes and that's really it.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty six seconds. Which is a really solid running time for this episode to have as this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this episodes running time really isn't used all that wisely as the plot of the episode really isn't as fully developed as it really could have been so much so that this episodes does feel more like an afterthought in favor of setting up a bunch of episodes that wouldn't air until three years later with the same thing also being true for the idea of having a robot clone version of Splinter as the episode really does nothing with him out of having a few comedic scenes early one and having him fight the turtles at the local zoo and that's really it and when the idea is that good and has that much potential behind it then there really should have been alot more thought and effort put into it to make seem like it's being used to fullest potential with the episode instead choosing to show us more of Bebop and Rocksteady and their comedy antics at the Channel Six news building which granted is related to the main plot but at the same time we're just getting the same scene over and over again with the two characters bumbling there way into a situation band somehow not only getting promoted but scoring high ratings as well and there's only so long that you can see that type of scene before it starts to get old and boring which is something that does happen quite fast in this very episode but I really will admit that this very episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us un 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 alot of this show action is usually pretty goofy and lighthearted with the focus more being on the comedy aspect of things then the action side of the things and while the same thing is also true here as well this episodes action just felt off somehow like it was a bit to goofy and was playing things a bit to safe which is still fine as this is a kids show after all but at the same given that this episode has two action scenes and it's oddly enough the one with the robot clone version of Splinter that's more fun to watch then the actual final fight with Bebop and Rocksteady as at least with the Splinter fight we do get see the turtles fighting in public and using a van as a weapon and we get to see the turtles be forced to think on there feet to try and get even so much as hit in on him which does make that fight scene all the more fun to watch where as with the Bebop and Rocksteady fights it's confined to this one small room with the turtles not even having to try very hard to outwit either Bebop or Rocksteady which just makes that fight comes across as feeling forced and is also a fight scene that could also be seen as also being really rushed as all heck as well as it's one that only happens in quite literally the final few minuets of the show which just makes it all the more worse out of this episode two action scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst this episode gets it's title from one of the worst films ever made this episode is actually not that bad but at the same it's quite clearly not all that good either as it just gives the same stuff that worked before in the show with nothing really new added it and that is something that does hold this episode back from being a great episode to watch for both kids and adults as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the  i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a gran old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Nin ja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki  page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Win Or Lose TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

Both Disney and PIXAR are two companies that no how to turn in good products when they really want to and while both companies haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders recently. PIXAR have just finished airing there very first ever original TV show and it's one that is going to be a hidden gem on Disney+ due to the fact that Disney really haven't been talking about it at all when they really should have been pushing this show to the moon and back and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that's alot better then what it really had any right to be with the show in question being called simply just "Win Or Lose" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when there softball team which the big championship game both the players , the coach and a few other people find everything around them in their personal lives crashing down and changing. 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 really good with this shows plot being alot better then what it really had any right to be as the trailer for this show made it put like that it was going to be straight forward with one linear plot however that is not the case as the show is instead telling the same story across all eight episodes but is telling it from different points of view of each time and as a result of that is the fact it really does make the plot of this show seem fresh and different each time we see it as each and every week we are getting two very different points of view and the plot for this show really does come alive and feel different because of that really unique way of telling what really could be seen as being really bland and generic sports coming of age type of story and yet due to it's unique way of telling it's story it does make this shows plot feel really fresh and different all over again with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Rosie Foss as Laurie , Josh Thomson as Frank Brown and Milan Ray as Rochelle Kiana Rodriguez. Also starring in this show is Rosa Salazar as Vanessa Rodriguez , Dorien Watson as Ira , Izaac Wang as Yuwen Wang , Chanel Stewart as Kai , Jo Firestone as Sweaty , Erin Keif as Lena , Lil Rel Howery as James , Melissa Villaseñor as Veronica , Flula Borg as Francis , Kyliegh Curran as Taylor , Jaylin Fletcher as Chicken-Kev , Tom Law as Tom , Beck Nolan as Brian Dyson , Jenna Ann as Rinna , Orion Tran as Little Yuwen , Rhea Seehorn as Carole , Mariah Thompson as Paula , Vyvan Pham as Monica Park , Harlow Hodges as Zane , Santina Muha as Cheryl , Dylan Buccieri as Odo and Will Forte as Coach Dan.

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 really good. With all of this shows actors turning in some really good performances which is something that is both really surprising and yet at the exact same time not all that surprising either as PIXAR projects no matter how bad the project ultimately ended up being has always always had some really good acting in them and yet at the same time it was still really surprising as alot of this shows main actors are all either unknowns or kids and as such it would have been foolish to have expected good acting from them as you never really no what kind of performance that your going to be getting from any of them and yet every single actor even Lil Rel Howery who is at best at OK actor still managed to turn in a good performance in this show and alot of that does come down to the fact that who ever it was that was doing the voice direction for this show really did know how to get a good performance out of these actors with the acting that's in this show really being helped by the fact that this shows scripts are just so good that all this shows actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixar Animation Studios and Lemon Sky Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt 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 just as on par with all of the animation in the PIXAR films as it's just that good and while having quality level animation in feature films is pretty par the course for a PIXAR movie for a PIXAR TV show on the other hand it's really still a new thing as while the company have produced a handful of shows recently for Disney and even a few short form shows in the past for Disney Channel this was the first one that's not based off of a film and so the animation really does have to step up and make you take notice as there's no legacy characters to fall back on and my god does it really step up as each and every single frame of this show look fantastic and while yes there are some scenes that do look better then others that's something that could be said for any show and is not something that's unique for this show but what is unique to this show is the fact that they actually use a mixture of animation mediums in this show with some episodes having scenes that are done hand drawn 2D animation and mixing it with the 3D CGI animation really well and it something that you don' t really get to see all that much in other shows or movies and that is shocking as it is something that can be really effective.

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

It really save to say that this show will give people alot of characters that they will like with my personal favorite character being Vanessa. Just because of the fact that even tho she is a social media influencer and a single mother she is deep down down a caring mother who is willing do anything for her babies even work two jobs just to buy them the shoes that they want so badly and while yes she can be seen as being bit pushy in certain episodes in her own focus episode "Pickle" we find out that she can be deeply insecure person who is only acting like that as a coping mechanism and that is something that does make her character not only a really fun character to watch as you never really know just what it is that she's going to say or even do next but it also makes her one of the more real characters as well as we all have moments where we feel insecure and unsure of what to do next and to see someone who is a single mother who is not only living paycheck to paycheck but is also struggling to raise two children on her own does also make her one of the more sympathetic characters on the show as well and while yes granted there are other better written characters like for example Vanessa's own daughter Rochelle and a few others to name but very few of them are also fun characters with Vanessa also having the most real life issues that alot of people who are watching this show regardless of there age are going to either go through , are currently going through or have gone through at some point in there lives and that us something that does make the character of Vanessa stand out quite alot altho she could have done with out being a social media influencer as all that does is date the character horribly and to be frank is kind of cringy to see as well.

For some strange reason Disney chose not only to release two episodes of this show a week but also to barely promote the show. As they only released one teaser trailer and one full length trailer for this show and that was really it and yet for own animated projects they push those to the moon and back regardless of the quality of the product it self and yet here they have a really good show that judging by the really auidence score of ninety one percent on Rotten Tomatoes alot of the viewing audience really did love and yet because of the fact that Disney was already more focused on the next piece of product which in this case is there terrible live action remake of Snow White they chose to release two episodes a week of this show when releasing one episode a week will not only get a higher amount of social media engagement especially for episodes three and four as episode three ended on a cliffhanger you would then be able to build up hype and anticipation for the next episode something that we know for a fact that Disney wants to do is there now releasing Daredevil: Born Again one week at a time and guess what numbers for Disney+ and social media engagement is going to go up because of it now imagine if they also did that for this show as well as you would get alot more people subscribing to Disney+ as you would have that good word of mouth going around then since your releasing one episode of this show a week there going to have to come back on a week by week basis just to watch the next episode something that we are now seeing happening with Daredevil: Born Again.

What really does make this show feel alot more mature then what it really had any right to be is how it deals with the fact that all of it's main characters all go through various different forms of crisis. With each episode really exploring just how a character thinks and feels during times when they are perhaps feeling stressed out or in love or any of these deep and complex feelings that you would expect to covered in any of the Inside Out films but in a TV show that's not something that you'd expect with all of this shows characters having something unique to them that expresses how they are really feeling like in episode one Laurie develops kind of slug like creature that spits out one liners and says how she's truly feeling because of the fact that Laurie herself isn't that confident and in episode eight Laurie's own father coach Dan gets fatter and fatter as he's holding in just how stressed out that he's feeling which does lead to a rather action packed third act in that episode as we get to see all of the characters storylines come together in one third act scene where all of the characters come together to help Laurie's dad deal with the stress that's been built up and that is something that does teach us the audience that it's not good to keep things bottled up inside and nor is it good to experience all the kinds of stress and grown up situations that these characters experience as those are things that can and in some cases do harm to you and to see this tackle them in a mature ay is somethin that does make this show both look and feel all the more mature then what it actually is.

Now then the last two episodes of this show has / had an exact grad total running time of exactly eighteen minuets and twenty nine seconds and episode eight of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty eight minuets and seventeen seconds. With each episode of this show being around twenty two minuets long with all of this shows episode really having the exact right amount of running time that they all needed as they all have the right amount of plot there to cover there respective running time with the show really making the best use of it's running times that it really could have done as all of it's characters become really fleshed out characters not only in there own focus episode but in the show as a whole as well and while it would have been nice to have seen more of other characters and less of others like Yuwen for example who despite there being a focus episode on him that explains why he is this annoying show off type pf character he is still a really annoying character with the only real character who could have done with bit more screen time is oddly enough Kai herself who despite getting alot of focus on screen time in other people's focus episodes and her own focus episode does come across as being more of an afterthought in the show when there is so much that could have been done to flesh out her character even if they didn't want to go down the route that they was going to go down with her character but at the same time tho this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show 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 show was in all honesty really good. With this show really being alot more funnier then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this show really shouldn't have been as funny as it was and yet there's at the very least one laugh out loud moment in each and every episode with all of this episodes best jokes not coming from what the characters say or do but rather it comes from the characters just being themselves be it Kai just being goofy with Laurie or Vanessa using her biting baby Zane to defend Frank from a bunch of angry sports fan there are alot of really funny moments to be found in this show and they all feel like jokes that these characters would say or make as all of this shows jokes do feel character driven and that makes the fact that Disney are just sitting on this show all the more worse as it means that people who would normally like a show like this one aren't getting the chance to see it and that means that they could be missing out on not only some really jokes and episodes but also in some of the funniest characters that PIXAR have come u with for some time as all of this shows jokes and characters are just that funny with the show really being worth watching just for the jokes alone as that's just how good the jokes are in this very show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall if you haven't seen or even heard of this show yet go onto Disney+ and watch it as it's just that good of a show and with both Disney Animation and PIXAR now moving away from long form animated TV shows this could be the last time that we see original stories like this one get the longer running times that they really need to tell there respective stories with this show just being a really good show to watch not only for kids but adults as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 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 tat I personally used in this very review from the official PIXAR fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great this official Disney fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this show with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Disney fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Superman: Doomsday Film Review

Believe it or not it's been almost twenty years since DC Comics started putting out direct to DVD animated movies on a yearly basis. As while yes they have put out "movie" length episodes of animated TV shows onto DVD they very rarely did full length films as a direct to DVD animated movie and yet the film that i'm about to be talking to you all today about really is the movie that kicked started it all and so then join me as I review the film that really kick started the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line up of films with the film in question being called simply just "Superman: Doomsday" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when an unstoppable killing machine is accidently released by Lexcorp it's up to Superman to try and defeat the beat once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film 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 film was in all honesty not that bad as it was a plot that could only be told in a movie length format and not in an episode of say Superman: The Animated Series for example as it would get butchered to death and while yes granted this movie does also condense the story the story of the book that this film is based off of by cutting down alot of the extra comic books that made up the whole story and while that would usually be bad thing here given the fact that this is DC's first proper direct to DVD animated movie it does make sense as not only are they starting of this line of movies by adapting the storyline that sees Superman get killed off but this is also there first direct to DVD animated film and so of course they have to cut it down in order to make it appeal to a much wider audience with the original story gaining a more faithful adaptation in a two part animated direct to DVD film release in 2018 with the plot of the book not really being effected in the transition to this film adaptation of the story as that's just how good the plot of this film really is with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Adam Baldwin as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman , Anne Heche as Lois Lane and James Marsters as Lex Luthor. Also starring in this film is John DiMaggio as The Toyman , Tom Kenny as The Robot , Swoosie Kurtz as Martha Kent , Cree Summer as Mercy Graves , Ray Wise as Perry White , Adam Wylie as Jimmy Olsen , Kevin Smith as A Grumpy Man , Kimberly Brooks as Murphy , Townsend Coleman as A Drill Operator , Chris Cox as Damon Swank , Hettie Lynn Hurtes as A Newscaster and James Arnold Taylor as Officer Tucker.

No then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of these actors being perfectly cast for this film which does make sense as the great Andrea Romano did the voice direction for this film and as perusal was able to get a good performance out of all of this films actors so much so that after a while it was easy to stop hearing the actor and to start hearing the character something that alot of modern animated films direct to DVD or not sometimes fail to do with it really being helped by the fact that alot of this films actors actually recorded there lines together which means that we do get a strong sense of the chemistry between the characters and actors as well something that is alot harder to do when the actors aren't bein recorded together with all of this films actors turning in performances that is perfect for there respective characters with none of this films actors turning in performances that would make there character feel somewhat out of character as even the more robotic voice that Adam Baldwin gives the clone Superman does feel right for that character as that version of Superman doesn't know everything about Clark Kent but does know pretty much everything about Superman and as a result of that is the fact that he would of course sound robotic at times as he's just reciting what he knows about Superman and that's really it with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them alot more naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Lotto Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then un all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty but at the same time tho this films animation really isn't all that good either as why yes granted this films animation is leagues better then we got in say Ultimate Avengers for example for one reason or another this films animation just isn't as good as the animation in other direct to DVD animated films and part of that might be because of the fact that this is there first direct to DVD animated film and so they just went with the cheapest animation studio that they could find but at the same time tho alot of it might just because of the fact that Lotto Animation aren't really that well known for doing animated movies as there more known for doing animated TV shows with the occasional foray into feature length films and while they would turn in better in animation in Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated here in this film there animation just isn't as good as we know the animation would get in not only the later DC animated films both theatrical and not but also in Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm as well with this films animation looking a lit dated in some areas and OK looking at best in others where as even as early as the 2009 Wonder Woman the animation would get extremely better looking as well.

Incase some of you don't know this film is the first adaptation of the classic Superman comic book story line The Death Of Superman. With this film giving us a more condensed version of the story and heck even Doomsday himself only appears in a very small handful of scenes and he's the one that does what Lex Luthor and so many others have tried and failed to do and that's actually kill Superman with Doomsday being this supposedly unstoppable killing machine that even has the Man Of Steel himself pausing to catch his breath something which Doomsday doesn't let him and this is something that does set doomsday apart from all of the other one of Superman foes as while he doesn't have the brains of Lex Luthor what he does have the speed and the muscle needed to defeat Superman something that does help him make a memorable first impression on us the audience so much so that it's easy to believe that he could defeat this truly iconic superhero with this also being helped by the fact that his design for this film is just knarly and out there that you can't help but to feel somewhat intimated by him and while comic book purists might have preferred it if they just kept the sack like design that they had in comic book for a movie you want something that's alot more cinematic and that's exactly what we got with his design in this movie and while that's not a knock on the comic book design for the character by any means it's just that Doomsday is a character that punch's first and asks question second and this current design for his character does reflect that part of his character.

In one of the issues of making this film a single part film is the fact that all of the films more emotional moments aren't given the time that they really did need to set in and sit with us the audience. With this being a big issues when it comes to the scene when Lois goes to visit Martha right after Superman has died and been buried and she starts crying because of the fact that she know what Martha knows and that's the fact that Clark Kent is Superman and she was his girlfriend in this movie and that's not something that she can say because it would be giving away who Superman was as well and yet the film just brushes over it like it was nothing when that is something that should have been given alot more focus on as it's a key part of her character arc for this film and yet the film does nothing with it with the same thing also being true for alot of the films over emotional moments as well with this actually being something that was actually very vastly improved upon in the 2018 The Death Of Superman two part film as they took the time to not only develop the characters alot more further then what they could have done in this film but they also added more emotional value to the storyline as well something that this film for one reason or another just couldn't do and while this film should get alot of credit for being the first direct to DVD DC animated movie it should be noted that out of the two versions of this story it's oddly the 2018 film that did it better because of the fact that it let it's more emotional moments sit with us the audience thus making them all the more impactful and slightly more memorable in the process.

What this film does really well is make Lex Luthor out to be even more psychotic then what he has ever been before. As due to the fact that he wasn't the one to give the killing blow to Superman he clones him just so that he can control him and on a nightly basis beat him up in a Kryptonite room with Kryptonite laced robotic hands all because of the fact that the real Superman is now dead and that right there is some messed up thing to do and yet it's also something that does feel in character for Lex Luthor in his own sick and twisted way as he like the rest of the characters in this film are mourning the death of Superman in there own special ways but with Lex he takes it to whole other level just because he can do and that is something that does make him a real threat to Superman as Lex can go to those extremes due to the fact that he's really rich and powerful where as Superman isn't and Lex has no moral code to stand by something that we see play out in this film as he openly kills his own assistant Marcy Graves in cold blook all for no reason whatsoever and killing someone is something that Superman would never do but what let's Lex's plan of cloning the dead Superman down is the fact that all of the things that he programmes into the clones are things that are public knowledge about Superman as nobody knows that Clark Kent is Superman and therefor they wouldn't know small things like what his favorite TV show is or more important things like who his girlfriend is and that's little piece of missing information that clues in Lois to the fact that the person that she thought was the realm Superman is infact a clone version of him.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and seventeen minuets and forty one seconds. Which to be fair is more then enough running time for this film to tell this version of the story as this film really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time and while the film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as none of the characters are given much development as all of them just have the same personalities as the main stream audience would know them to have but to be fair tho the film didn't really need to fully develop them as they are that well known characters would it have been nice if they were fully developed of course it would but alot of the people that coming into this film aren't coming to it to see some really well thought out characters there coming to see one of if not the world's most famous superhero get killed off and that's really it and again to be fair that is where this film shines it's brightest as the film does dedicate alot of time not only to the main fight between Superman and Doomsday but to also the after effects of such a massive battle as well with the film even showing us the audience how several well known characters where deeply effected by the death of this one person which was a really effective use of it's running time but at the same time tho this film would have been alot more better if the film did use it's running time alot more wisely by not only developing it's characters to the point where you actually feel sorry for Lois when Superman does die but to also allow more of a build up for his eventual return near the end of the film as well but I really will admit that this film really does have some really pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is ana action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very fil 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 film was in all honesty not that bad. As due to this film having a more mature rating then alot of the other DC animated projects with this film getting an American rating of PG-13 which is the equivalent of 12 rating over here in the UK the film does get away with being alot more violent then what they could have gotten away with on either Superman: The Animated Series or either Justice League cartoon with them even going as far as to showing Superman bleed something that really hasn't been done since this film with the best fight in the whole entire film going to Superman Vs Doomsday as it was just so cool seeing these two alien beings just go at it and yet at the same time it did have those emotional gut punches as not only does Lois come to realise but us the audience also come to realise that Superman is literally giving up his life to defeat this one monster something that we hadn't seen before now because f the fact that no other monster had challenged him so much and yet here it works not only on just cool to see but also on a storytelling level as well with both characters even getting in lots of painful looking hits as well and that's not to say that the Superman Vs Clone Superman fight is a bad fight because it's not it just that this one was alot more better and alot more impactful as well just due to how good of a fight that it was and that's something that they couldn't replicate in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while The Death Of Superman film really might be the better adaptation of the story as a whole then this film interms of telling a really more condensed version of the story then this film is still a really good adaptation so much so that it made ten million American dollars in home media sales when this film was first released all the back in 2007 as that's just how good that this version of this truly iconic story really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all pf 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 DC Movies fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FILLED First Impressions Of The Daredevil: Born Again TV Series

Just when you think Marvel has pretty much been destroyed thanks to the release of several failed projects including the more recently released Captain America: Brave New World they then go a head and release the first two episodes of this awsome show. With the new Daredevil show having just dropped on Disney+ you all just knew that I had to check out the first two episodes of this show just to see if it's any good and so then join me as I give my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that may leave fans of a certain character feeling really upset with the show in question being called simply just "Daredevil: Born Again" enjoy.

The plot of these first two episodes is after a major incident forces Matt to reconsider everything an old foe emerges from the shadows and runs for mayor of New York. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two 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 first two episodes was in all honesty really good with the plots being more in line with the Netflix show then anything that Disney+ has been putting out which is quite frankly really quite refreshing as it would have been seen as an insult not only to the character but to the fan of Daredevil as a whole if they gave this character a more lighter in tone plot as that's just not who that character is and yet they don't do that infact they o the opposite way and give him a more darker and more mature plot then anything that your going to be finding on the main Disney+ section which was in all honesty something that Marvel Studios really didn't have to do as they could have gone with the version of the character that showed up in the failed She-Hulk: Attorney At Law show and called it day but the fact that they went with a plot that's not only alot more serious but also alot more grounded in reality then alot of there other projects does show that they really do have alot of respect for this character with both of these episodes plots also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these episodes is Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin. Also starring in these episodes is Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn , Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page , Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson , Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter / Bullseye , Kamar De Los Reyes as Hector Ayala / White Tiger , Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera , Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie , Genneya Walton as BB Urich , Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman , Clark Johnson as Cherry , Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake , Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk , Cillian O'Sullivan as Devlin , Victor Verhaeghe as Carlo , Gino Anthony Pesi as Viktor , Patrick Murney as Luca , Ruibo Qian as Detective Angie Kim , Susan Varon as Josie , Becky London as Judge Maribeth Hillson , Katherine Renee Cortez as Diana Montoya , Jeffrey Grover as Roger Cressna , John Benjamin Hickey as District Attorney Benjamin Hochberg , Andrew Polk as Judge Jerry Cooper , Nick Jordan as Nicky Torres , Johhny M. Wu as Forrest Tam , Michael Gaston as Commissioner Gallo and Ashley Marie Ortiz as Soledad Ayala.

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. Which is something that's not really all that surprising as alot of the actors that are in the first episode are reprising there roles from the Netflix Daredevil TV show but it's also something that does indeed carry on over in the this shows second episode as well with the shows newer actors more then holding their own when it comes to acting against the actors who have played these characters before now and are so well beloved by fans and even then alot of those actors haven't really played these characters full time since the Netflix Daredevil TV show ended after it's third season and they all just step back into character as if they had never stopped when it comes to filming this new version of the show as that's just how good the acting in these episodes is both from the returning actors and from the shows newer actors as well with the acting that's in these very episodes also really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these very episodes is just so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them more naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these first two episodes.

Doing the CGI for these first two episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at RISE Visual Effects Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it wasn't something that's all that good either as the original show mainly stayed away from using CGI with them more often then not using practical effects which helped to make the shows version of Hell's Kitchen feel more real and grounded where as here the shows uses alot of CGI and because of that the world that this show takes place in doesn't feel real as instead t feels like something that was made in a computer and while yes there are some really good CGI effects in these first two episodes no one is going to ever question that but when your doing a show that is basically a sequel to a show that that firstly alot of people really loved and that secondly had it's own unique style and look to it and really didn't use that much CGI in it's episodes then you owe it to that show and the fans of that show to try and match what they did on that show and part of that does yes include not having that CGI and if you are going to use alot of CGI then you better make sure that it's all really good looking CGI because if not the fans will notice and they will pick it apart because of it.

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

To be more then  frank when I first started watching episode one of this show I went into it with the idea of making this one a spoiler free post but that then very quickly changed when they killed of Foggy Nelson. Which was quite honestly such a shocking move to make as you don't expect them to kill a main member of the supporting characters and yet not only do they do exactly that but they also give him a big role in the first episode and make his death the key factor in Matt Murdock choosing to give up his life as Daredevil which was such a shocking move and while this is something that could very easily split the fanbase as there bound to be people who love Elden's take on the character from the Netflix show killing him off inn this episode was a great to say that this version of daredevil is going to go places that you never thought off and is going to do things that the previous show just didn't do and part of that does involve killing off Matt's best friend and while it is something that would have been much more better served if it happened at the end of the episode as it does make for a great cliffhanger ending having happen within the first twenty minuets of the show and having the rest of of that first episode be just about the fall out of this characters death and seeing how Foggy's death effects his friends does go to show you that the makers of this show knew how to defy your expectations and do something that nobody had every thought that they would do and because of that his death is really something that does work in the context of this episode.

What not alot of people would have realized is that the first episode of the show that was released wasn't infact the original first episode. As while yes Foggy's death was always intended to be in the first episode the show had a different director and different creative team on board but then for one reason or another that creative team got fired even tho a good chunk of this first season was shot and was pretty much ready to be released and a new team was brought on to overhaul the show and part of that overhaul involved creating the episode that we now see as being the first episode of the show however after doing some digging in turns out that this shows second episode is not only written by the original creative team of Matt Corman & Chris Ord but it's also directed by the original director Michael Cuesta now while it is impossible to tell if episode two of this show was the original first episode only with a few minor edits to it it is weird that Marvel would keep one of there original episodes if the plan was to do an overhaul of the series as a whole but on the other hand given that Michael Cuesta is also due to direct at the very least one more episode this season it could have been that this was just there original second episode and since it didn't really need changing they just chose to keep it and air it as is and have Michael Cuesta direct the next episode as way to show that there's no hard feelings between all of the original creative team either way it does make this show stand out as not alot of shows replace there entire creative team whilst the shows first few episodes are still in production let alone have those episodes come out as good as they are.

In again what could be seen as being a shocking move this show actually references the fact that Kingpin actually played a role in the Echo TV show. With it being a slightly big part of this shows second episode as it's reveled that after he got in shot in the head in that show he spent months in a hospital bed before waking up out of his coma and going somewhere unknown for several months which has now caused a rift between him and his wife and while this isn't focused on that much in episode two as that episode is more focused on reestablishing the Kingpin as someone who could be a threat if he so wanted to be one then it is in dealing with his problems with his wife but given the fact that the show even mentioned that has was having problems with his wife and that he genuinely doesn't know who hired Bullseye to take out Foggy Nelson in the first place it is possible that his wife did it just so she could show all of the other crime families that she's not to be messed but on the other hand given just how good Vincent D'Onofrio as this character and how he has us the audience hanging on his every word it is perfectly possible that he was laying to Matt when he said that he had nothing to do with Foggy's death both options to seem to be rather fitting for either the show or the character as the show from this first two episodes is all about defying your expectations and the Wilson Fisk character is all about thinking three movies ahead before even taking a single step so it is possible that he had Foggy killed of in episode one to get revenge on Matt for something that happen in the Netflix TV show.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and thirty three seconds while episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and fifty five seconds. While episode one does have the better running time as that episode does have more stuff to set up it's episode two that makes the most of it's running time as while both episodes do have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover there respective running times it's episode to that makes the best use of it's running time and uses it wisely as it shows just what a New York without Daredevil truly looks like which to be fair given the fact that Spider-Man also lives in New York isn't that much of a big deal but seeing New York without one of it's many protectors is an interesting angle to the episode as it means that whoever this shows main villain is can pretty much do whatever he or she wants to do as realistically there's no one to stop them and tell them not to it and while episode one does have some good things going for it from a running time point of view it doesn't make the best use of it's running time which is kind of understandable given just how much it had to do it is an episode that could have done with being just around ten minuets longer as then it could have given both Foggy and Karen a proper send off instead of just having Karen choose to leave the city off screen and it doesn't really allow for New York itself to be a character in it's own right something that the second episode does take steps to do but I really will admit that both of these episode really do have some really good pacing to them tho.

So now then as this as an action show that really does mean 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 / resented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As even tho the action in the Netflix show was more better and more gritty then the action is in these first two episodes the action in these episodes worked just as well as this is meant to be a more experienced Daredevil and so of course he's not going to be all of the things of that he did in the Netflix show because he knows better he's had time to perfect his craft now where is in the Netflix he was basically in his year as Daredevil and not to mention the fact that in the Netflix show he was very rarely if every angry during a fight scene and so we never got to see just how that effected him as a hero and yet that's the first thing that we do see in this shows first action scene and while the second episode does have a pretty cool looking fight scene between White Tiger and a few corrupted Policemen it's the fight scene in episode one that's the better scene because of the story that it told and because of the fact that like the hallway way scene in episode two of the original show it was all done in one shot only with a few hidden cuts thrown in and it is something that still looked really good and while yes the Netflix show really will always have the better action because of it's more grounded take on the characters for this version of that same show the action from these first two episodes really was alot better then what they both really had any right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall if you loved the Netflix show then chances are that your going to really love these first two episodes as it's all of the characters that you know and love all back and all played by there original actors with this show also being way more mature for any Disney+ show both of which combine to make a show that could be a hit show for Disney but either way it's a show that's really worth watching 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 two episodes in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys an 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
