Ironheart TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

This year is proving to be quite the year for Riri Williams as she is not only going to be a main character in the Iron Man And His Awesome Friends kids animated series but her very own live action series has just released it's final three episodes. Given that last week I promised that i'd review the show as a whole this week i'm going to be doing exactly that and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show the show where the second half of the show is alot more better then the first half of the show with the show in question being called simply just "Ironheart" enjoy.

The plot of this show is sometime after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Riri Williams finds herself being kicked out of MIT and so she moves back home to Chicago where she quickly falls in with a group of thief's where she must find out if she truly is a good person or not. 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 but at the same time it wasn't all that good with the plot as whole being done alot more better in the second half of the show as it felt like that there was some actual stakes in those final three episodes where as in the first three episodes of the show it kind of felt like that the characters were just doing things because the plot demanded that they do it with the main plot of the show barely getting any focus during those first three episodes which made all the more surprising when the final three episodes actually gave the plot of the show alot more focus with it being in these final three episodes where we get to see just how much promise that this shows plot had but because of the fact that the makers of this show chose not to actually focus and develop the shows plot early on this shows plot does feel rushed and undercooked alot of the time somethin which could have been fixed if the makers of this show actually cared about the plot and gave it the focus that it really did need early on in the show and not when the show was almost over with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams / Ironheart and Lyric Ross as Natalie Washington / N.A.T.A.L.I.E.. Also starring in this show is Manny Montana as John King , Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington , Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins / Hood , Anji White as Ronnie Williams , Jim Rash as Wilkes , Eric André as Stuart Clarke / Rampage , Paul Calderón as Arthur Robbins , Regan Aliyah as Zelma Stanton , Sonia Denis as Clown , Shea Couleé as Ulysses Lugman / Slug , Zoe Terakes as Jeri Blood , Shakira Barrera as Roz Blood , Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy , Harper Anthony as Landon , LaRoyce Hawkins as Gary Williams , Alyse Elna Lewis as Young Riri Williams , Tanya Christiansen as Heather and Voice Acting legend Cree Summer as Madeline Stanton.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I 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. As alot of this shows actors are some really good actors in their own right even tho quite alot of them haven't been in anything all that major there is still quite alot of talent on display here with that being something that really come through in all six of this shows episodes as all of this shows actors at some point do get a time to shone be it because there doing something dramatic or there doing something comedic they do all get the chance to show us just what they can do as an actor with that being true for the shows best actor who is Lyric Ross as she is just a joy to watch as Natalie as the character can be laugh out loud funny at times and yet then in the same scene say something that's really dramatic and all of it works because of how good of an actor that she is and while Dominique Thorne really does have the slight advantage in that she ha played Riri Williams the longest she is still trying to find her character where as with Lyric Ross it does look like that she found her character right away and was just having fun with her character with that being something that really does shine through in the final show with the acting that's in this very show really not being helped by the fact that this shows scripts are just so bad as they give none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the CGI for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Legacy Effects and Tippett Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGU that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad for the most part as while yes granted you can very easily tell that this show either had a very small effects budget or the effects teams where being rushed as the quality of the shows effects does very from episode to episode with some of the shows episodes having some pretty decent looking CGI in them and the rest having some really bad looking CGI in them however this isn't something that's just an issue for this show as it's an issue for every single live action MCU show but to be fair to this show tho when the show does have some really nice looking effects in it they do look really good with there being some effects in the final episode of the show that do look really good and there are some scenes in the shows first episode that do look so good that they could belong in a movie which does make sense as you always want to lead with your best foot forward and the effects in both episode one and episode six are just two examples of episodes that do have some really good looking CGI in them but alot of the time tho this shows effects do look fake almost as if Marvel couldn't decide what they wanted in the scene and so they had the effects do a rush job and very quickly throw something together which never looks good and it doesn't look good here either with it being made painfully obvious when this show does have a bad looking effect because of the fact that the rest of the shows effects really are pretty good.

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

The final three episodes of this show has three plot twists all of which I predicted either earlier on in episode five , the last few moments of episode six or in last weeks post about the first three episode of this show as we finally get the big reveal of Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto. With the character here kind of being like a mob boss type of character in that he's willing to give Parker everything that he desires and in this case even the tools to do with the only thing that he wants from him is his soul which is something that does make the character a little bit more interesting then what he really could have been as by all rights this could have been a huge let down for the character especially given the hype that's been built up over the past three years and yet while he doesn't get all that much to do in the shows sixth and final episode with him being more of a behind the scenes kind of character the episode does use him in the right way as they do built up some suspense about who this character is and what he can do with even Riri at first believing him to be Dormammu only for him to laugh it of and say that Dormammu isn't even fit to lick his boots which that right there is more then enough to tell us the audience that this character is one that's not to be messed and while there is more then good chance that he will get messed up as a character the more times that he appears in MCU movies and TV shows in his first appearance the character was handled pretty well with Sacha Baron Cohen even switching between using an American accent when he's trying to seduce people into letting him influence them and straight using a British accent when's mad at them which is a nice little touch and is something that does play to the strengths of Sacha Baron Cohen who can do some really good accents.

The other two plot twists that I predicted would happen are the fact that Natalie "dies" at the end of the shows fifth episode and the fact that Riri agrees to let Mephisto give her some of his power so that he can bring her back at the end of the shows sixth episode. While the very idea of Riri having the power of an evil god inside of her does create some interesting possibilities moving forward with other MCU movies it's also something that does feel out of place given what the whole show was about as the whole show was about learning to come to terms with the death of loved one something that Riri herself had started to do proper oddly enough in the shows sixth episode and yet the makers of this show just undo all of that by revealing that she's now pretty much working with Mephisto because once again she couldn't face the facts that a loved one had died only now it's not the AI version of Natalie that gets brought back it's the real person and the very fact that these plot twists are ones that you can see coming a mile while it doesn't make them bad as these kinds of twists can have worked well enough before in other media it's the fact that the makers of the show sign post that there coming as in episode five they have the character of Zelma Stanton just straight up say that magic comes at a price which right there tells you that one of the characters will die and because it's Marvel you know right away that it's not going to be any of the human characters which only leaves you Natalie a character that was already dead in the first place and due to how it's shown in the sixth episode it's made pretty clear that Riri is going to be working with Mephisto before the episode actually reveals so it makes what should really have been a really cool plot twist seem predictable because of the fact that you already know that it's coming.

Due to this show only being six episodes long and the fact that the entire series was released over the span of two weeks it does mean Parker is left with being a really weak villain. As it takes us all the way until the shows final episode to find out why he's doing what he's doing with us only getting some backstory for the character in the shows fourth episode which at that point is to little to late as we're over the halfway make and by then the characters should be as fully developed as there going to get but for one reason or another the makers of this show waited until the last possible second to give what should have been a really cool and interesting villain some backstory and motive with it being revealed that he's doing all of these crimes because of the fact that he wants money and power which granted is a very generic scheme for a villain to have but given that these MCU live action TV shows are meant to be focusing more on street level heroes it's forgivable but what isn't forgivable is waiting until the show is almost over to give him this backstory and motive as since this is only a six episode show this is something that should have been doing since episode one at the earliest and episode three at the absolute latest as then it gives us the audience more of a reason to hate this character and yet because this character got all of this in the second half of the show it makes him feel like an undercooked villain that was treated more of an afterthought which makes him a character that will very quickly be forgotten about this is despite the fact that show ends with a tease of him coming back to face Riri again somewhere else down the line.

Now then this show really has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then fifty six minuets. With each episode ranging from as little as thirty nine minuets to as long as fifty six minuets which to be fair to this show is pretty much the norm for these live action MCU shows with this show really having the right amount of plot of there needed to cover that six episode count but at the same time tho it would have helped this show out quite alot if the show had more episodes as then the show would be allowed to use it's running time more wisely be devoting more screen time into developing it's plot since as thigs stand the opening three episodes is basically just the set up with these other three episodes being about the pay off and it's these final three episodes that are actually alot more better then what the first three are because of the fact that they focus alot more on the plot with it being these final three episodes where we get some small character development be it with Riri going from someone who is willing to use people to get what she wants to someone who is willing to use people sometimes to get what she wants or from Parker who thanks to the events of the third episodes takes a nose dive of the sanity board and becomes this full on insane person who is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge on those that are closest to him and yet none of this development or plot progression is presented in any of the shows first three episodes which makes those episodes feel pointless to watch as they other nothing of value where as with these final three episodes this is where you get the decent stuff in this show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as is 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 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. With the show having plenty of really done action scene in all of it's six episodes and while this shows action will never be as good as the action that's in Daredevil: Born Again but given the fact that the main character of this show is someone who has to make her own powers we do get some really fun filled action scenes all throughout this show with it being in this shows action scenes where we get to some really good looking effects as well with the best action scene in the whole show being the fight scene at the end of episode as we get to see just what Riri can do when she's not in the suit and while she's not the best hand to hand fighter there is that's something that does make alot of sense as she's only a kid and when you add in the fact that it's in that episode where we see Riri kill someone albeit in self defense it is something that does have long lasting consequences for the rest of the show as well as the person that she kills is Parker's close cousin John which is something that does make the beef between Riri and Parker personal with the fight itself being something that was really done something that is also true for the action in alot of this show as well with alot of the action in this show being very well done and alot more better then what it really had right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall whilst the first half of this show might be pretty bad the second half of the show is a little bit more better but that won't matter because of the fact that the first half pf the show was as bad as it was with this hopefully making Disney think twice about releasing whole series of a show in just two weeks as it really is a bad idea with this show being a good example of just how bad of an idea that it 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 show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this show really does earn itself a grand old score of a 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe 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 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 this very 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 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.

Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation Film Review

While the Looney Tunes brand might be going through a really tough time right now there's one piece of Looney Tunes media that doesn't get talked about all that much. That being the Tiny Toon Adventures movie as that show and movie does feature the Looney Tunes in more of a supporting role and yet both this movie and the show are only talked about be people that grew up with them and so then join me as I review the movie that sees the Tiny Toons cast have a summer vacation with the film in question being called simply just "Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation" enjoy.

The plot of this film is one that's quite hard to describe as the film doesn't just have one plot as it has several dozen plots ranging from Plucky joining Hampton and his family on a cross country road trip to Babs and Buster trying to get back to Acme Acres after a prank goes wrong. 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 he actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as the fact that it has so many plots running through does make it feel more like an episode of the show but at the same time tho there's nothing about this films plot that makes it feel like that it's worthy of being the plot of a film which does make it feel like the plots of this film where just unused plots for episodes of the show only edited together to very loosely form a plot which isn't a bad thing but at the same time tho there still should have been more of an effort put into this films plots as there's only a handful of them that are actually good with the rest of them just being there and not really adding anything to the film itself which makes them feel pointless where as the if they were included in an episode of the show then they would come off as being a bit more better then what they are in this film as they just feel like that they are there so that the makers of the film can include alot more of the shows characters and that's really it with the plot of this film 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 Charlie Adler as Buster Bunny and The Theater Usher and Tress MacNeille as Babs Bunny , Babs' Mother , Big Boo , Emily Duff , Roseanne Barr , Barbara Walters , Hotel Chef , Drive-thru Waitress and Horatio's Girlfriend. Also starring in this film is Gail Matthius as Shirley The Loon and Sissy Boo , Kath Soucie as Fifi La Fume , Li'l Sneezer , Little Boo and Bimbette , Don Messick as Hamton J. Pig and The Radio Announcer , Joe Alaskey as Plucky Duck , Tupelo Toad , Johnny Carson , David Letterman and Elmer Fudd , Maurice LaMarche as Dizzy Devil , Ed McMahon and Arsenio Hall , Frank Welker as Gogo , Furrball , Little Beeper , Byron Basset , Uncle Stinky and Vinnie , Rob Paulsen as Fowlmouth , Johnny Pew , Mr. Hitcher , Banjo Possum , Hotel Manager , Horatio and The Parking Lot Attendant , Cree Summer as Elmyra Duff , Mary Melody and Oprah Winfrey , Candi Milo as Sweetie Pie , Jonathan Winters as Wade Pig and Superman , Edie McClurg as Winnie Pig , Paul Julian as Road Runner and Sorrell Booke as Big Daddy Boo.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of his film actors turning some really good performances in this film which is something that really does make alot of sense as there all not only a really good bunch of voice actors in their own but are also reprising their roles from the show as well and therefor it does make sense that they would turn in some really good performances in this film as who else would best know these character then the actors that have been playing for quite some time at this point in time with it being really hard to say just who the best actor is in this film as there all so good with all of this films actors bringing something that helps to make there character feel alot like themselves when it would have been super easy for the makers of this film to loose just what it is that really made these character who they are in the first place with this being a case where all of the actors and the crew involved with the film really loving the characters so much that they wanted to do was right by those characters with that being something that really does shine through in the final film 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 will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Telecom Animation Film and Nakamura Production. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good as while the films animation quality isn't feature film worthy by any stretch of the imagination that was never going to be the case as this film was always going be a direct to VHS release and to be fair to this film it's animation was so good because of the fact that the animation for the show was just so good and with this film sharing the same production staff it does make sense that the animation in he film would be good as well and while yes it would have been nice to see this film get a theatrical release as that would mean much more higher quality animation the animation that we have in this film works really well for the film as the characters have always known that there in an animated show and therefor the animators can and do have fun with the kinds of facial expressions and the things that they have the characters do as there not bound by any real world logic which is something that does help to sell this animation and make it as looney and as a zany as it could have been with all of the characters having some really nice fluid movements to them and all of the films backgrounds looking really good with even the character designs for the films guest characters looking like they could fit in with the world of the show.

What is perhaps the films biggest issue is the fact that it does have so many plots going on all at the same time. With it feeling like the makers of this film wanted to get as many of the shows characters into this film regardless of if they needed to be in the film or not as almost all of the characters barring a very small handful either have plots in this movie or appear in speaking roles in this film with pretty much all of them at the very least making a quick cameo all throughout the film whilst this wouldn't be a bad thing if this one of the shows segmented episodes as then you could argue that there just going from one segment to the other with a movie however it nearly always works best if you focus on just a small handful of characters instead of cutting to a different character every few minuets as all that will do is just confuse your audience with this even having he add on effect of making it hard for the audience to care for any of the films plots as the makers of this film don't really give us a reason to care for any of the films plots as they have to cut to the next character to advance there plot lines and while certain fans of the show will be glad to see the character that they like getting some love in this movie that doesn't mean that they needed to be in the film itself with the best cases of this being both Shirley and Fifi as both of there plots would feel more at home in the show as in the film it just feels like that they are there to pad out the films running time this is despite the fact that both characters are some fairly popular characters but even with that mind the shows main villain Montana Max doesn't feature all that much in the film when he very easily could have been the main villain in the Babs and Buster plot line which is something that would have made perfect sense for his character.

This film is a musical which is something that's to be expected from this franchise with the films song being written by one of the films composers Bruce Broughton. While there aren't that many actual songs that are sung by the main cast in this film infact there's only two the two songs that the main characters do actually sing are actually pretty good with the best one being "Waiting For The Clock" which is just all of the shows main characters just begging for the school to strike three o'clock so that they can go home and start summer vacation with the song itself even weaving in a new rendition of the Tiny Toons theme song something which does oddly play a few more times throughout the film as well which given that the maker of this film do like to use different versions of the shows classic theme song in it's episodes and specials does make sense that they would do the same thing here as it makes the kid audience feel like that there watching the characters that they know and love from the show only in a longer format the issue is tho is that there aren't enough songs in this film as that's just how good that the films two songs by the films main characters are and even then the second song is just another version of the shows main theme song which makes you wonder why the makers of this film even bothered to make it a musical as they don't go all out with that aspect of it something that they could have done given the fact that this is a feature length film as then the makers of the film could have had some more catchy songs in this film something that the Animaniacs film "Wakko's Wish" would actually take full advantage off doing.

In what could be seen as being a really good move the maker of this film do have the character of Plucky Duck feature quite alot in this film. Which is something that does work both for and against the film it works for the film in two ways the first of which being outside of Buster and Babs Plucky was one of the shows more popular characters so much so that he did technically get his own spin off show with The Plucky Duck Show which only aired one new episode and just featured repeats of Plucky centric episodes from Tiny Toon Adventures and the second one being that Plucky and Hampton are always going to be comedy gold and having Plucky in a plot with Hampton and his family was always gong to guarantee some really big laughs but here's where it works against the film because Plucky just isn't that interesting of a character inside of the show as all of his is a smaller version of Daffy Duck and that's really it so he can't have that much of personality due to the fact that he's just a smaller version of a more popular cartoon character which makes it weird that the makers of this film would essentially make him one of the leading characters in this film especially since Babs and Buster who are more interesting and funny characters but are also the leads of the show alot of the time as well and are also the characters that people think about the most when they think of this show but to be fair tho this film does give Plucky some really funny scenes in this film which does justify him basically being the co-lead character of this film and while having him take on a bigger role doesn't really hurt the film it is weird considering the fact that he doesn't have much in the way of a personality outside of the fact that he's essentially just a smaller version of Daffy Duck.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nineteen minuets and forty seven seconds. Which is a pretty solid running time for this film with the film having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time but even so this film really doesn't use that running time all that wisely as it has several dozen plots to fit in and tell and it just can't do that and develop all of them in that short of a running time with this being another case for less equals more as by having lets just say one or two plots lines say for example it's just the Plucky and Hampton plot line as the side plot and for the main plot it's the Babs and Buster plot just by having those two plots alone would more then enough to support an entire movie as you don't need to have as many characters from the show in the movie as all that does is just make them feel like background characters but by just having the two plot lines then it would make that the makers of this film could have developed both plots really well which in turn would help to make this film all the more better then what it already s in the first place with the other thing that this film doesn't do thanks to it's running time is develop it's characters which isn't that big of an issue in this film as we have several dozen episodes of the show for the characters to become fully developed characters but the film doesn't even give it's newer characters much development either with alot of them just being either flat out bad guy or flat out good guy with there being no middle ground but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / featured to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film being genuinely quite laugh out loud funny at times which does make alot of sense as alot of the writers from the show did work on this film with the film having alot of the best writers from the show working on it therefor it does make sense that this film would be painfully funny with nearly all of this films jokes working be it from Babs saying to Superman that this isn't his film to anything with either Plucky or Fifi in it bottom line there's going to be alot of jokes in this film with it being quite hard to say just what the best joke is as there all that funny and they all fit in with the character telling it as well but if push comes to shove i've say that the best joke is anything to do Elmya as her plot line of just wanting a cat and doing anything to get it even sneaking out at the zoo is something that her character would do and seeing her just be herself around all of these animals all of which will do quite literally anything to get away from her will always be funny and to be fair the makers of this film do milk all of the scenes in which that plot plays out for all their worth joke wise that being the same thing that's also being true for alot of the side plots as there just there to tell a few jokes and that's it and while they don't really need to be in the film in the first place the fact that the makers knew when to stop them just show that the makers of this film knew when to cut them off with this allowing for the film to tell alot more jokes with nearly all of this films jokes not only working but working really well as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst Wakko's Wish is easily the better made of the two films this one feels more true to the show that it's being spun off from and is alot more funnier then what Wakko's Wish was but in saying that tho this film really does have quite alot of flaws in it which do hold it back from being as good as it really could have been 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 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 Animaniacs fandom wiki page the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page 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 Ironheart TV Series

It's fairly safe to say that it this point in time Marvel Studios has seemingly forgotten how to make actually good pieces of media. With the show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today actually being a first for the MCU as it's the first show that will have it's entire run all done up with by next Wednesday and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED first impressions of the show that sees us say goodbye to Phase Five of the MCU with the show in question being called simply just "Ironheart" enjoy.

The plot of this how is sometime after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Riri Williams finds herself being kicked out of school and so she decides to move back home where she then joins up with a gang of thief's in order to get the money that she needs to build her own Iron Man suit but discovers something far more sinister going on with the gangs leader. 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 in all honesty not that bad but that's also the problem as the shows plot at least in these first three episodes doesn't seem to be all that good either as it just seems like that it's trying to hard to be a Marvel Netflix without actually understanding what it was that made the plots of those shows work so well in the first place as it tries to be mature and gritty just by having the characters swearing alot of the time and that's it where as the plots of the Netflix Marvel shows dealt with some very mature themes and that was what made them feel grown up and mature with the plot from these first three episodes whilst it can be good as you can see alot of the effort put into creating a decently thought out plot it' still something that does feel like that it's missing that extra special something now this is something that could all change when Disney drops the final three episodes next week but for now this shows plot just isn't as good as it perhaps could have been with the plot of these episodes 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 Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams and Lyric Ross as Natalie Washington / N.A.T.A.L.I.E.. Also starring in these episodes is Manny Montana as John King , Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington , Anji White as Ronnie Williams , Jim Rash as Professor Wilkes , Eric André as Stuart Clarke / Rampage , Cree Summer as Madeline Stanton , Sonia Denis as Clown , Shea Couleé as Ulysses Lugman / Slug , Zoe Terakes as Jeri Blood , Shakira Barrera as Roz Blood , Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins / Hood , Harper Anthony as Landon , LaRoyce Hawkins as Gary Williams , Tanya Freeman as Dean Choi , Chaim Jeraffi as Junkyard Jim , James J.A. Houle as The Voice Of TRVOR , Tristone Dye as Caden , John Anthony Torres as Aiden , Brianna Abruzzo as Braden , Sahara Ale as Harini , Paul Calderón as Arthur Robbins , Alyse Elna Lewis as Young Riri Williams , Kent Churchill as Young Natalie Washington , Zhaleh as Sheila Zarate , David Vaughn as Hunter Mason and Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy.

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. As all of this shows actors do indeed turn in some really good performances in all three of these episodes which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of this shows actors are some really good actors in there own right with a few of them being some decently known names as well and even those that aren't that well known like for example Lyric Ross who really hasn't been in anything of note still does hold her own when it comes to acting against her more well known co-stars with even the shows lead Dominique Thorne being alot better then what she really had any right to be which is something that does make alot of sense as she is of course reprising her role from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with these first three episodes being a good example of showing us the audience just what she can do as an actor and while she's not perfect in these three episodes she will get better the more films and TV shows that she does with the best actor in all three of these episodes being Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins / Hood as he is just such a charismatic person that makes you want to join his little gang of thiefs even tho you know deep down that what your doing is wrong and alot of that does come from the fact that Anthony Ramos is a very charismatic person in his own right with the acting that's in these episodes really being helped by the fact that this show scripts are 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 naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in these very episodes.

Doing the CGI for these episodes is Legacy Effects and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Tippett Studio. 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 and while yes granted the effects for any of these live action MCU shows will never be as good as the effects that they have in any of the movies the effects that are in these first three episodes were still really good as they looked alot more better then what they had any right to be and while the Iron Man suits have always been CGI since possibly Iron Man 3 maybe Iron Man 2 here the suit that Riri wears does look really good but at the same time tho you can quite clearly tell that the show doesn't have that big of an effects budget as there times in these first three episodes where her suit looks a little bit to fake which is something that does take you out of the episode as it reminds you that your just watching a TV show with the same thing being true for alot of the set extensions as well as they make it quite clear that alot of the set that your seeing either wasn't there on the say or was altered with in the post production process and it makes the whole thing just look cheap and while granted not every single effect in every single movie or TV show is going to look good but there still should have been something in place that masks alot of the bad effects as it just lowers the overall quality of the effects for these first three episodes.

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

For those of you that are wondering actor Alden Ehrenreich isn't just playing a character called Joe McGillicuddy as his actual characters name is Ezekiel "Zeke" Stane. With the character of course being the son of the main villain from the first Iron Man film this however doesn't mean that you have to watch that movie in order to understand a thing about this show as both he and Riri pretty much go over that entire films third act in the third episode of this show with the character not wanting to be anything like his father as he saw just how mad his father became with Robotics and he even asks Riri if the heist that she and the gang are prepping who goes sideways that the one thing that she borrows from him be traceable back to him with this one aspect of the character being something that stood out as his father would have done anything to get a little bit more fame and a little bit more fortune and yet here we have his son pretty much just saying that the only thing that he wants is a nice quiet life away from that world even tho he has a silo full to the brim with illegal tech something that does make you wonder if the character is going to help out Riri by the time we get to the shows final episode next week as it would make sense for his character to do something like that as he does seem like the kind of character that might be willing to do the right thing and to standup for his friends but given how we see him act in episode two we also know that he's prone to bouts of petty revenge something that could lead him down the path to becoming a supervillain much like his father was which would be a nice bit of irony as he has spent his entire life to be the complete opposite of his father and yet he still very well could end up being exactly like him in the end.

What does seem to be somewhat interesting is the fact that the show does seem to showing Riri coming to terms with not only the loss of her stepfather but also the loss of her best friend as well. With that seemingly coming through in the themes of show which is a good idea but at the same time it's also one that being done to death recently with the way that this show seems to be handling it being somewhat interesting as they have Natalie the best friend character come back as Riri's new AI calling herself N.A.T.A.L.I.E. with her frequently interacting with Riri and her mother Ronnie but at the same time tho none of this shows three episodes take the time needed to explore this theme as the closest we get is in episode 3 where we see Riri start to have a full blown panic attack when she enters her step father garage and starts to relive the night that both he and Natalie got shot and killed and that's really it and that's not enough for a theme that's this complex as everyone goes through grief and it would have been more interesting to see how Riri is processing her grief instead of just having her refuse to talk to her mum about it as that's just sugar coating it whereas if we see how much both of them meant to her and see what her life was like not just the night off but sometime before they got shot and killed then maybe we could get an idea as to how different Riri was back then and see how there death has effected her character either for the better or for the worse but seeing N.A.T.A.L.I.E. freeze up when she sees a gun was interesting as it makes it look like that the AI version of her is carrying alot more trauma from that night then what we're bold told and shown at the exact same time.

Where these episodes do start to somewhat fall apart is in the shows main villain of Parker Robbins as while the character and the actor playing him is indeed very charismatic. The villain himself isn't that well written with there being nothing interesting about him outside of the fact that he has a hood that can make seemingly invisible and that's really it and even then if you follow the clues that they give in these first three episodes it's pretty obvious who the main villain of the show as a whole is going to be as it's obviously going to be Mephisto as even tho we only see him from the back at the end of episode 3 it does look enough like him for that it's obviously going to be him with Parker having struck some sort of deal with him to give him this cape and all of this power but as we don't even get to find out what his scheme is and what his big villain plan is with him basically robbing these big companies just to secure more money for his crew and that's really it and that's not enough to make us the audience hate him as it doesn't tell us anything about him as a character and while we do get to see him kill a few people in episodes two and three that's all we get of him that shows us that he's a bad guy and that's really it and that's something that's very sadly a trend with all of these live action MCU shows where they really just give us the bare minimum of a villainous character and that's it as not one of the main villains apart from Agatha Harkness has been all that memorable as there all just being treated as an afterthought and it's the same thing here and with this show releasing it's final three episodes next week then the show really won't have the time needed to fix his character as we are now officially in the endgame for this show.

Now then these three episodes has / had an exact grad total running time of no longer than fifty three minuets. With episode one being forty minuets and fifty eight seconds and episode two being forty seven minuets and thirty seconds with the third episode being the longest at fifty three minuets and nineteen seconds which to be fair to this show is a perfectly solid set of running times for this show to have with these three episodes really having the right amount of plot there to really cover there respective running times and while it is of course far two early to say if the show does develop it's characters or not what can be said however is that the show doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as it doesn't really develop it's plot all that well with the first three episodes being alot more focused on either mentioning or just straight up insulting Tony Stark then it is in telling an actually good story with the episodes not really explaining things all that well like why does this gang need Riri when they could get quite literally anyone who knows Robotics to work for them as surely that would help with Parker's evil scheme whatever it maybe and why does Riri steal an Iron Man suit from her school when she knows full well that they'll just shut it down which is exactly what happens with all three episodes having moments like this all throughout them and while the episodes aren't as badly done as the trailers made them out to be there not all that well thought out because of the fact that the plot to show isn't being that well developed either but I really will admit that all three episodes have some really pacing to them.

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 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. Which is something that's also true for pretty much all of these live action MCU shows regardless of the actual quality of the show itself with the same thing also being true for these first three episodes as well as pretty much all three episodes have one action scene in them and to be fair to this show nearly all of them work be it when your seeing The Blood Twins beating people up in episode one or if your seeing Riri doing her thing in the suit and taking out a load of people either way there's something that's in these first three episodes that will please alot of people from an action standpoint with it being quite hard to say just what the best action scene is in all three of these episodes because of the fact that alot of the action that we get in all three episodes are really short and thus when they just get going and start getting good they come to and end which is something that does make it hard to buy into them but if push did come to shove i'd say the best fight scene in these episode is the fight between a suit less Riri Williams and John King as we get to see just how brutal that he is and how much that Riri would have to rely on her street smarts when she's out of the suit as she's so used to fighting in it that she has no idea what to do when that's taken away from her with the rest of this shows action being mostly pretty good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall it's stupid of Disney dropping all six episodes of this show in just two weeks as it makes it look like that Disney is just desperate to get rid of this show and forget about it forever ad given that this show finished filming in 2022 with a few bits of additional filming happening in 2024 that might very well be the case as they've had alot of this show finished and in the can for up to three years now with these three episodes being some pretty decent episodes in their own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in 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 given then unique release schedule for this show I WILL be doing a full blown review of the show as a whole when the rest of the episodes drop next week.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in these very episodes well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in these very episodes from the official marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from 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.

Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical Stage Show Review

It's really safe to say that Frozen is perhaps one of if not Disney's biggest animated franchise and the fact that it's only got two films to it does show that Disney is more then willing to take there time to get the next film right. However the franchise does have a stage show with the company just releasing a filmed version of the London West End version of the show and well you all just knew that yours truly had to check out this filmed version of the show the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the stage show that proves that even with nothing more then just two theatrically released movies and a handful of specials Frozen really is here to stay with the stage show in question being called simply just "Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical" enjoy.

The plot of this stage show is when her sisters powers accidentally put there home town of Arendelle in the middle of a deadly snowstorm it's up to Anna and her new friends Kristoff , Sven and Olaf to try and convince her sister to set things right 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 stage 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 stage show was in all honesty really good which is something that does make alot of sense as it's literally just the first films plot only now it's being told in the form of a stage show and not a film with the plot translating surprisingly well from screen to stage with there not really being any changes to the plot of the show which is something that could make seeing this stage show seem pointless as afterall why would you want to see the same story when you can just see the original story told in the way that you know it to be which would be a fair point but at the same time tho this plot is one that does hold up really well with the stage show not only containing all of the key themes that made the plot of the film work but adding just enough to them that it makes those themes seem fresh and new all other again something that Disney did try to do in there live action remakes but failed because they did them so bad there but here what they do add to those themes oddly work well enough in the shows for with the plot of this stage show also being really rather entertaining and as swell as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this stage show is Samantha Barks as Elsa , Laura Dawkes as Anna and Craig Gallivan as Olaf. Also starring in this stage show is Jammy Kasongo as Kristoff , Oliver Ormson as Hans , Richard Frame as The Duke Of Weselton , Ashley Birchall as Sven , Mikayla Jade as Sven , Martha Bailey Vine as Young Anna , Elizabeth Lyons as Young Elsa , Tabitha Storton as The Hidden Folk Child , Ben Irish as Pabbie and The Ensemble , Lizzy-Rose Esin-Kelly as Bulda and The Ensemble , Jak Skelly as Oaken , Bishop and The Ensemble , Jacqui Sanchez as Queen Iduna and The Ensemble and Ashley J. Daniels as King Agnarr and The Ensemble.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very stage show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very stage show was in all honesty really good. With this shows acting being alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this shows acting should have been really bad but for one reason or another this shows actors really just hit it out of the park with all of them giving us some really top notch acting with the same thing also being true for the shows kid actors as well as they come across as bein quite natural when they very easily could have been seen as being quite annoying with that especially being true for Martha Bailey Vine who is quite honestly one of the more entertaining actors in this show as even tho she only plays the young version of Anna she manages to get lots of big laughs every single time that she's on stage with the shows best actor being Samantha Barks as Elsa if you've seen either the stage version of the 2012 film version of Les Misérables then you'll know just how good of an actor that Samantha Barks can be and she really knocks it out of the park in this show from both an acting point of view and a singing point of view with the acting that's really in this very show really being helped by the fact that this shows script is just so good that all this shows shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

To be frank there are times when during this stage show it does look cinematic which is something that does work to the shows advantage. As it does show that the creative team behind the show did put in alot of effort into making this world come to life and the fact that they don't quite give away just how it was that they managed to pull off alot of the effect for Elsa's powers outside the use of LED screens only helps to make the show look more cinematic as does the fact that they manage to get some shots that would have been quite hard to do with a live audience there which is something that does work against the show as this show was meant to have been filmed live and yet they are getting shots that make this look like a feature length film which is great if your trying to make a film but here what they should have been doing is trying to put across the experience of what watching this show live is like and not going out of there way to make it look like a film and heck they even have a scene transition effect for when Elsa's dress is revealed at the end of "Let It Go" which don't get me wrong does look good but at the same time tho it would have been nice to see just how they would have pulled that off as that is something that they could have done for real just by having the actor ware the dress underneath another one of Elsa's costumes which you can then just her very easily snap that dress off to reveal her dress which is something that wouldn't work for a film but it's something that would have felt right at home in a stage show which makes you wonder why they chose to add in a scene transition effect there as it is something that's kind of distracting and while it doesn't take away from the experience it is odd that they added it in there tho.

Whilst this particualr version of the show is billed as a version of the broadway show it's actually a filmed version of the West End show. Which is way all of the shows actors are from that show and it's something that makes you wonder why Disney would market it as being a a filmed version of the broadway show when there alot more people that not only know that London exists but also know of London West End as well but at the same time tho they might just be borrowing the tagline of the original broadway show which I guess does make sense but at the same time given that this version was made because of the fact that the West End version was closing up shop three years after it first premiered wouldn't it make more sense just to called this filmed version Frozen: The Musical but with that little nit pick aside this show does sadly not have that many main sets when compared to even the original film which granted didn't have that many main sets either but they still somehow managed to make the world of Arendelle both look and feel alot more bigger then what it really was and here with this show it has the opposite effect as it makes this world feel alot more smaller and compact now to be fair tho this could be for a practical reason as the show does have a rather small stage and so to hit on alot of sets plus all of the actors would have been a huge ask but given that the show was already using some LED screens around the edges of the set of Elsa's powers anyway they usually could have done the same thing and have some new sets just to help the world of Arendelle feel alot more bigger then what it already is in the first place.

As for how they managed to do some of the films animals and Olaf this is wear they kind of get creative as Sven is literally just to people in a reindeer suit and the rock people are now just people which is great as there's no way that you could do those characters on a stage show budget. However it's how they do Olaf that's the most interesting as they take the same approach that was perfected in The Lion King musical where the character is basically a puppet here designed to look like his animated counterpart with a live actor behind him both controlling the character and voicing him which does look really good as it does allow for Olaf to have those really wide range of emotions on his face be it joy to even sadness of confusion and those are things that would have been lost if you did the character in any other way as the only way that you can do this character in a stage show format is to keep him in his snowman form as that's what the audience would expect him to look like and so you can't really do what they did with the live action Spongebob musical and have all of the characters be humans as that just wouldn't work for Olaf given the fact that he's meant to be a snowman and to be fair tho the actors in the show do have alot of fun with it with them even having the actor who plays Anna control the head of Olaf for one brief scene during the shows second act with even the actor playing him Craig Gallivan quite clearly having a blast playing him with the only thing that lets down this way of doing the character being the fact that we don't get to see Elsa making him during the "Let It Go" song sequence which is a small thing but it's also something that does show that she can create life with her powers even if she doesn't quite realise it yet.

As is to be expected this show is a musical with songs of course written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez with their being one new song written for the show being written by Christophe Beck and Frode Fjellheim. With the show featuring all of the songs from the original film alot of which are done really well but at the same time they are out of order in what they appear in the original film so like now example "Let It Go" happens after "In Summer" rather then it bein the other way around and while it would be super easy to say that "Let It Go" is the best song in the whole just due to how fantastic that Samantha Barks sings it the best song in the show is actually one of the newer songs that being "Colder By The Minute" just because of the fact that it's an excellent ensemble song that brings together alot of the characters and ties them all together rather beautifully but that song was very closely followed by "Dangerous To Dream" as that song just hit home the sisterly bond that both Anna and Elsa had for each other and that Elsa still carries for Anna even tho she can't really say it due to her own fears of loosing control of her powers with alot of this shows newer songs not only complimenting the films original songs really well but also being able to stand out on their own and while it was quite hard to say what the best song of the show is because there's so many that could take claim to that honor there's only one that's the worst song of the show and that's "Hygge" as it's just a pointless comedy song that's only there to given Oaken something to do and that's really it and even as a comedy song it still doesn't work as we've literally just had one in "In Summer" so it was really pointless to have "Hygge" in this show.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifty one minuets and forty two seconds. Which to be fair is a pretty solid running time for this show to have as the show does have the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time and while this show really doesn't cover that running time all that widely as it doesn't develop it's plot or characters all that well it very well could be argued that it really doesn't need to develop either the plot of the characters due to both of them being so well known anyway or in the case of the plot quite literally just being the first films plot only now it's told on a theater stage and not on the big screen but at the same time tho if your going to go to the trouble to not only include new scenes with the parents and Young Elsa and Young Anna and include a bunch of new songs then you might as well go the extra mile and take the time that you needed to take to further develop your plot as while yes the plot of the show was covered really well in the film here you have the chance to include things that didn't make it into the film and to show us new plot beats that we perhaps hadn't quite considered yet with the same thing also being true for the shows characters and while they don't come across as being one dimensional characters with them all being as well written as they were in the movie given the fact that the show does have extra songs in there then the makers of the show could have taken the time to add new things to the characters like for example they show us that Anna is a bit quirky and that Elsa is very stand-offish but they both still love each other but that's all we get to find out about there characters and even then those came more from the film then they do the stage show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is 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 the actor that played Young Anna getting alot of laughs every single time that she was on the stage as she was just that funny and while Olaf could be seen as being annoying alot of the time in the film here he's around just long enough to get in a few decent jokes and while his big "Some People Are Worth Melting For" scene doesn't have that big of an impact in this show just because of the fact that they can't actually show him starting to melt the character still does get a few decent laughs every now and then with it actually being quite hard to say just what the best joke in the show is as both Young Ann and Anna herself do get some decent jokes in this show with really the only two characters that don't manage to get some good laughs or Kristoff and Elsa and that's really it with alot of what makes Anna funny in this show being what always made her funny in the film and that's the fact that she's this quirky character who hasn't been around people for years and so she has now idea on how to act around them but if push did come to shove i'd say that the best joke in the whole entire show is the very fact that Anna only recognizes Olaf from the fact that she gave him a big backside which whilst it is a dumb joke it one that works really well because of the fact that the set up with Young Anna was also really well done as well with all of this films jokes being just straight up really good and really funny in there special and unique way as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show was a shockingly fun time and this is coming from someone who actively avoided the original film when it first came out but has since seen both it and it's sequel and all of the specials as well with this show being sure to not only set people over until Frozen III in 2027 but also please them 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 review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review rom the official Disney fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official 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 very episode with really alot of them being really better quality then what you'd really think of and really 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.
