Eyes Of Wakanda TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

It's not that often that we get a new animated show from Marvel Studios as they mainly do live action shows with the odd animated show sprinkled in the mixture every so often. Well now the house of ideas have released there newest animated show and instead of doing what they normally do with their shows and dropping one a week they've decided to drop the entire show and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that both Marvel themselves and Disney didn't promote until just a few days before it's premiere date with the show in question being called simply just "Eyes Of Wakanda" enjoy.

The plot of this show is The Hatut Zaraze who are Wakandan warriors carry out deadly missions to retrieve some of Wakanda's missing artifacts when someone calling himself The Lion steals a bunch of them. 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. As even tho this show is an anthology show with each episode having a different plot to the one that came before it it is still a decently well done plot that does feel fitting for a TV show but at the same time tho this is a plot that also could have been alot more better then what it already was as it does start to get a boring to watch near the end shows shockingly short four episodes as the show doesn't really do anything to add to the overall plot of the show instead just keeping things pretty self contained and while that is something that does work well enough given the shows anthology format it is something that does make the show pretty boring to watch as well as you know right where all of the episodes are going which does make them feel alot less fun to watch an while having a show centered around these group of warriors that are so secret that barely anyone in Wakanda knows about them is a good idea there still needed to be a good enough plot to fully justify them being in this show as given the shows plot they could have focused on any character in Wakanda and it would have made just as much sense in this first place with the plot of this show not really being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Winnie Harlow as Noni , Cress Williams as Nkati / The Lion and Patricia Belcher as Akeya. Also starring in this show is Larry Herron as B'Kai / Memnon , Adam Gold as Achilles , Lynn Whitfield as Older Noni , Jason Konopisos as Ferro , Kiff VandenHeuvel as Odysseus , Yerman Gur as Paris , Joanna Kalafatis as Helen Of Troy , Jacques Colimon as Basha , Jona Xiao as Jorani , Isaac Robinson-Smith as Ebo , Gary Anthony Williams as Rakim , Zeke Alton as Tafari , Steve Toussaint as Kuda , Debra Wilson as A Dora Milaje General and Disney legend Anika Noni Rose as Black Panther.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this shows actors turning in some passable performances which is something that's to be expected as alot of this shows actors aren't that well known for their voice acting skills apart from Anika Noni Rose and that's really it and as such it would have been foolish to expect good or even great performances from any of this shows actors and yet for the most part that's exactly what we got as alot of this shows actors did turn in some really good performances and while yes there are always going some bad performances in any show or movie this show is a case where the good acting far outweighs the bad acting with alot more of this shows actors turning in some good performances then there are bad ones with really the only bad actors in this show being both Zeke Alton and Winnie Harlow and that's really it and even then the shows bad acting can more be chalked up to the fact that Zeke is just a kid and therefor his acting won't be that good anyway and when it comes to both Winnie and Zeke there both not that well known as actors in the first place and heck Zeke doesn't have a Wikipedia page with the acting that's in this show not really being helped by the shows scripts as this shows scripts are so bad as they give none of this shows absolutely noting 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 animation for this show is Axis Animation and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio AKA. ow then interms of what I personally thought / felt about rh actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then 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 not that bad as this show does have some pretty nice looking animation with the main episode making great use of 3D CGI animation to capture some truly beautiful looking shots all of which do make this show feel alot more cinematic then what it actually is with the shows animation to be fair being the best part of the show as while it does keep using the same art style all throughout the show episodes all of them do at least have one standout moment where the animation produces something that can only be described as being like a work of art but in saying that tho this shows animation does also look a little flat alot of the time as well with very very of the shows backgrounds having anything about them that makes them standout even Wakanda itself doesn't look as stunning as it could do in the world of animation as now the only thing that's holding back the makers of this show isn't budget it's there own imagination and yet they somehow make Wakanda look like this visually unappealing place to live when this is the one place that they should really be selling to us the audience given that alot of the shows storylines take place there and while the characters do have some really nice looking fluid movements to them which does help the animation to truly come alive in the shows the shows more quieter moments the designs of the characters just look of putting and not something that you'd want to see in Disney animated TV show.

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

Very much like what they did with the Ironheart TV show Disney and Marvel did next to nothing to promote this show as unlike what they did with Ironheart where the dropped the trailer and posters about a month out from the actual premiere date. Here they did all of that the WEEK that the show was about to start which is the very definition of leaving to the last minuet as this now all but guarantees that the show will be a flop as not only do alot of people not even know about this show in the first place those that had followed the show would have no idea when it was coming out due to the fact that Marvel and Disney have kept quiet about the show for so long now and would most likely have forgotten all about the show even being a thing in the first place say what you will about Ironheart as a TV show but at least you knew that that show was coming out granted they didn't start pushing that show until it was quite late in the day as well but at least then you had the excuse of them putting more of a focus on The fantastic Four: First Steps where as now that's not an excuse and heck Marvel even could have had this show come out on the exact same day as the new Fantastic Four movie just to cash in on the big Marvel push but not they instead chose to wait a a couple a weeks and then drop ONE trailer on the Monday followed by six different posters all on the same days in the hopes of drawing up hype for this show when what they should have done is started promoting this show the second that they were winding down the promotion for Ironheart as at least then it would give this show a fair shot at being a hit show because as things stand it doesn't matter what else is said in this review because this show won't be a hit because of the fact that not alot of people will know about this show being a thing in the first place.

In a first for a Marvel Studios TV show they have chosen to drop all four episodes of this show at the same time. Which to be fair in this case isn't that bad of a thing to do as there's not that much to this show in the first place as the only thing that's even close to being a plot is something that they do in the LAST episode of the show where they reveal that in the entire previous episodes there was this unseen character from the future a Black Panther and future Queen of Wakanda who is using time travel to go back and time to get all of these artifacts to help Wakanda make it self known to the world and in turn stop her world from being taken over by what looks like giant alien ants which isn't that bad of an idea and would have worked for the plot of the whole if it was set up in the first episode and not the last as then you could have had this character essentially act as this shows version of The Watcher from What If where she's there to basically just set up the story and watch it play out only with her interring near it's end to grab whatever artifact that she needs to Wakanda out in her future because as things stand the anthology aspect of the show isn't one that's done all that well as despite the show having a somewhat recurring character in the from of Noni who does get mentioned once or twice and even appears in the shows first two episodes and so the makers of the show could have done something more fun with it's anthology like what Tales Of The Crypt would do were they had this other character introduce the stories whilst making bad jokes that are somehow related to the stories that there telling in that particualr episode but they don't and because of that is the fact that the anthology aspect of the show just feels like an afterthought as if anything this series would have been much more better of if it was a series of short films each one about a different aspect of Wandanan life.

This shows third episode "Lost And Found" does kind of introduce a new hero to the MCU that being Iron Fist with the mantle this time being taken up not by Danny Rand but by Jorani. With her being someone from China many decades before Danny Rand was even born with her character perhaps being in one of the most fun episodes of the show as "Lost And Found" is a really solid episode that isn't afraid to be silly when it needs to be with the character of Jorani being a perfectly serviceable character in her own right as while she doesn't get alot of developed in that episode which is understandable as this show is meant to be all about the rich history of Wakanda she still does come of as being a character with alot of potential as she's someone from China who defeated this supposed immortal dragon and therefor gained it's powers with her also being kind of cocky and kind of arrogant and whereas unlike that episodes main character Basha Jorani actually does have the martial arts skills to back up what she's saying with even both her and Basha making for a great comedic duo as she outright says that she would have been more the willing to help him out if he'd just been honest about what he was doing in China in the first place but due to Wakandan law he really couldn't tell her why he was there which granted might make her look like a weak character but it something that does add some level of humor to the show with another source of humor in that episode coming from Basha himself as at the end of the episode when he and Ebo are almost found out for what's been going on in the episode Basha right away without a moments thought just says that it will Ebo's idea as a training exercise which for some reason the general believes which whilst those jokes aren't laugh out loud funny they do show us the audience just how much fun that a show like this should have been like in the first place.

Now then each episode of this show has / had an exact grand total running of no longer then thirty minutes. Which t be fair is perfectly solid running time for this show as while the show on the whole doesn't have alot going on for it plot wise each of the shows fours episodes really do have more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time as while the fourth episode does bring together the previous three plots all of the plots of this show do work well enough on their own and don't really need a long running time in order to do there stories any kind of justice however tho in saying that none of these episodes really do use there running times wisely as all four of the plots aren't that well developed with the fourth episode "The Last Panther" being the worst for this as it just seems like all of the plot development comes out of nowhere with there being nothing to build up to it with the same thing even true for it's characters as none of this shows characters get much in the way of character development and those that do get like in the case of Basha for example it comes out of nowhere as the makers of this show are alot more focused in making the characters as bland as possible then they are in giving us good stories and well thought out characters and where as it would usually be very fix these issues with just a re-write of the script here tho it could require an extra episode or two as then you can develop the pl0t of the show a bit more and the characters can get a bit more development as well as it just seems like the whole story gets rushed once we get to episode four of the show as that's where all of the plot of the show is to be found and all of it means nothing because it wasn't developed all that well and because of the fact that the shows characters aren't that well developed either but I really will admit that this show really does have some really pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is ana 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. However tho at the same time this shows action isn't all that good as while we do get to see alot of the shows characters doing alot of really cool moves the shows action just isn't that as creative as it really could have been given the fact that this is an action show with all of the shows action being pretty much the same with one character usually the hero starting out strong before the other character again usually the villain usually outsmarts them in some lazy way and while that is great for storytelling there's only so much that you can see action like that before it starts to get boring and with this being a TV show it's something that does get old and boring pretty quickly but the one thing that this shows action does have going for it is the fact that this is where the shows animation well and truly does come alive with the animation making all of this shows action scenes look really visually impressive with the best example of this also coming from the shows best action scene as we get to see Noni fight this Wakandan renegade calling himself The Lion with the two of them fighting on a pirate ship with the shows animation really does a good job of making sure that all of the hits from both characters look like that they hurt with the show having alot of really good action scenes all throughout including a solid fight scene between Jorani and Basha the fight scene in the first episode is still the best one in the whole entire show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall why Marvel and Disney chose not to market this show until very early last week will forever remain a mystery but what won't is the fact that this show does waste it's main setting by giving us a boring show that had all of the potential in the world to be a really good show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the goo and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really dos mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review from the official Disney fandom wiki page , 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 review being the really great the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Wednesday: Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woe Review

In exactly one week from today the show that made The Addams Family more well known to the Tiktok crowd comes back. With there not only being a second series of the show but also a recently CONFIRMED third series as well it's safe to say that this show isn't going anywhere for a good long while and as such I thought that i'd go back and review the episode that started it all and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Wednesday basically join Hogwarts with the episode in question being called simply just "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woe" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when she is expelled from high school Wednesday is sent to the same school where her parents fell in love. 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 he actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As even tho it was hard to summarize just what the plot of this episode is that's more due to the streaming nature of this show and not due to the quality of the plot itself as here in this first episode all we get is what is the set up for this first series and that's it and well to bee fair in a streaming show that's really all you need as people can always just watch the next episode right away if the set up is good enough like it was here as while we do get alot of the series overall plot in this episode which was sprinkled all throughout the episode it didn't over power the main plot of this episode which was Wednesday just getting adjusted to this new school and meeting all of these new characters as instead the series overall plot and the episodes plot worked hand in hand together and while yes granted the episodes plot could have been alot more stronger as if anything the plot that was summarized could have been the basic premise of the episode as it's not that strong of plot and not really focused on that much but again it doesn't need to be as we have all of the other episodes right there to watch and while first impressions are everything this episode does leave a good enough first impressions that you can somewhat forgive it for not having the most strongest of plots 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 Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams and Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems. Also starring in this episode is Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair , Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott , Victor Dorobantu as Thing , Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin , Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin , Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe , Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay , Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus , Naomi J. Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka , Christina Ricci as Marilyn Thornhill , Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams , Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams , Iman Marson as Lucas Walker , Max Pemberton as Dalton , George Valentin Burcea as Lurch , James Clay as Ethan Hanson , Caroline Lawrie as Martha , Johnna Dias-Watson as Divina , Oliver Watson as Kent , Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Deputy Ritchie Santiago , Calum Ross as Rowan Laslow , Cezar Grumăzescu as Coach Vlad , Simon Furness as A Farmer , Islam Bouakkaz as Carter , Morgan Beale as Jonah , Karina Varadi as Young Wednesday Addams , Daniel Himschoot as The Hyde Monster and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams.

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 / resented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With alot of this episodes actors turning in some really good performances in this episode and really starting to make there characters really feel there own which is something that must have been hard to do for the episodes legacy characters as each member of The Addams Family have been played by several different people over the decades and yet the actors in this episode still found a way to make them feel like making the characters their own and while yes some actors don't get as much screen time as others as quite literally every single member of The Addams Family except for both Thing and of course Wednesday get around five maybe ten minuets of screen time total and then get written out of the episode which does mean that we the audience really can't get that solid of a handle on their performances but from little of them that we see the actors playing them do do a solid job of portraying these iconic characters with of course the best actor in this whole entire episode being Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams as she just steals every single scene that she's in and is quite clearly just having a blast playing this character with enough actors that's having a blast in this episode being Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair as while she doesn't quite match what Jenna is doing with Wednesday Emma does make Enid seem like a very fun character and someone who is perfect to be friends with Wednesday with both actors really bringing their best work out of each other with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as hey are written and a good performances 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 CGI for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Agog Special Effects and Rocket Science VFX. Now then interms of what u personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGU that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with the episode having alot of really decent looking effects shots in it however that the same time tho the episode does also contain alot of really goofy looking effects as while things like well Thing himself do look good with the same thing also being true for alot of the sky alterations that are in the episode what doesn't look all that good is The Hyde Monster as it does look a little two much like a cartoon character to be taken seriously in a live action setting this is despite the fact that the design for the character does look good and suitably creepy it just needed better quality effects to make it look actually scary and while the piranha fish that Wednesday uses at the start of the episode do look good in some shots in others that do look pretty bad but given that there only in that one scene and aren't seen every again it's forgivable the effects team didn't give them alot of attention as the episode does have alot of other effects that need there attention and therefor it's understandable that they would turn out to OK at best but at the same time tho when the next big effects heavy creature that we see is The Hyde Monster with him looking like a cartoon character it really does make you wonder why the effects team didn't put more time and money into making him look good as they quite clearly had the resources to do so but at the same time it very easily could have been a budget issues as they'd have to stretch out this shows effects budget across several other episodes.

Enid in this episode was a nice addition to the episode as she's everything that Wednesday just isn't which is what makes her a fun character. As there two characters that deep down do need each other as Wednesday wants friends and Enid just needs someone anyone outside of her family to care for her and while that doesn't mean that there infact couple as there not a couple it is something that does make them good friends even if they don't know it with the one thing that makes Enid a really annoying character it's the fact that she's a character that is so obviously meant to be the character that todays Tiktok loving generation can get behind as she talks and acts exactly like them and when you add in the fact that the episode doesn't really give her any character flaws it is something that could potentially make her a badly written character with really the only thing about her character that does seem interesting in this episode is we are told that she's a wolf that can't wolf out and while this is something that does obviously set up her character arc for this season with it even ending exactly how you think it would do it is something that could make her an interesting character as now we the audience have a character outside of Wednesday that we want to see achieve their goal no matter how small the goal is interms of the bigger picture with the only thing that could have been changed about her character from this episode being the fact that she's basically just there for the Tiktok crowd and therefor does feel out of place when she's in a scene with quite literally any member of The Addams Family as while even tho The Addams Family have always thought that being normal was to them weird it would therefor seem out of character for someone like Wednesday to talk to let alone befriend someone who in our eyes is normal when Wednesday would infact be more interested in someone who is in to the things that she's in to.

One of the thins that the episode gets wrong is the fact that it treats Wednesday as being the bad guy at the start of the episode. As while yes granted setting loose two bags full of piranha on the school swim team is a bad thing she only did that because of the act that they picked on her brother so all she was doing was standing up for Pugsley something that is in her character to do as The Addams Family is a very close knit family and so of course she would stand up for him she even says as much in the scene where she sets the piranha loose and yet for some odd Morticia and Gomez still kind of treat her like she was in the wrong for doing something that kept her brother safe from further harm and while OK granted The Addams Family never directly hurt anyone and would never directly cause harm to anyone they would still sick for of their own and they would still defend one of their own as well and while Wednesday could have found another way to get her revenge for her brother to do literally anything else would feel out of character as after all she outright caused a riot at the camp in Addams Family Values just because of the fact that she , her brother and all of the over people that the camp owners and some of the campers deemed to be weird and out of place and yet she still did it because that's in her character and yet her parents didn't punish her for that they applauded her for it and yet here while she's doing the exact same thing by defending her brother they punish her for it which makes no sense and it seems like an excuse for the makers of the shoe to get her into this school when they didn't need one as they could have started the episode with her being driven there and that's it.

For some odd reason the maker of this episode chose to have the school Nevermore Academy look pretty much how The Addams Family Mansion looked in the 1991 film. So much so that it would be forgivable if people thought that this show took place in the house as from the outside they do look the exact same and while that's not a bad thing as the house did look pretty good in that movie all it does is remind you that you could have been watching the 1991 movie and it makes you wonder if what your seeing was actually the families house or not from that movie but just reused as the school for this show and speaking of the school the idea of having a school for all of these supernatural people is a good idea as it does make sense that all of these types of characters would eventually need a school like this it just reminds of you Hogwarts as the school in the Harry Potter films and the school in this show fill the exact purpose and even have a main outside area that does look kind of similar with the only difference being in this school people have all sort of magical powers and aren't just either witches or wizards and that's it with even the school itself having alot of character to it that does make it look like a charming place almost as if it's a character in it's own right with the very idea of tieing this newly created to the Addams legacy in this case in being where Morticia and Gomez not only met but also feel madly in love with each other was a good idea as it's a good way to tie into the legacy of these characters and while the design of the school does look like the house from the 1991 movie it does also feel like something that Charles Addams himself would design as it does have this dark and almost gothic look to it that makes it perfect for the world of The Addams Family.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty nine minuets and twenty seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grad total running time for all of this show as alot of this shows episodes also had a very similar running time to it as well with it being helped by the fact that this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time as even tho this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely it's also an episode that does really need to be that long due to how much plot for the season as a whole that it needs to set up including why Wednesday is even at this school in the first place and while this does come at the expense of giving the episode an actually strong plot as for a whole it does seem like Wednesday is just doing things purely for the sake of doing them and not because of the fact that it's to forward what little plot that this episode has going for it in the first place with same thing even being true for the episodes characters as well as while Wednesday Morticia and Gomez come across as being decently well done with of Wednesday being the better of the three characters none of this episodes new characters get alot of screen time to get across what there personality is alot of the time thus making them come across as being very one dimensional this is something that is only an issue because of the fact that the episode introduces so many characters all of whom will play a part in the first season of the show and yet doesn't bother in this episode to give us a reason as to why we should like them or even what there personality is in the first place with the only exception to that being of course Enid and that's really it but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is 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 episode well the 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 really good. With Wednesday and even Morticia having alot of really funny one liners in this episode episode all of which are really funny and while alot of them are basically just "the thing that the normal people like is weird to us" kind of jokes they are done so well in this episode with the episode even having alot of laugh out loud moments in it and while granted not alot of this episodes jokes are that memorable that doesn't stop them from being good with one of the episodes best jokes being when Wednesday is just hurling insults at Morticia and while she does take it on the chin Wednesday says something about not having a heart to which Morticia simply says "finally a kind word for your mother" which is such a good joke as it feels like something that the two of them would say and while Wednesday herself does get alot of dark jokes all of which are aimed at Enid the best one has to be when the statue is falling down towards her and all she's doing is thinking about how happy she'd be if she died which is a joke that her character would say and because of that alot of her jokes do oddly enough work as they all feel like something that she'd say with this episode having alot of jokes just like those two in it with nearly all of them working really well as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while we only have to wait a week to find out if the first half of the shows second season will be any good what can be said for sure is that not only this first season of the show but also this first episode set the bar really high as this is a really good first episode that really does sets the tone for the rest of this first season as it's just that good of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at lest. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does ern itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Addams Family 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 The Addams Family 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 The Addams Family fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

The Muppet Show "Roger Moore" Review

It's been well over a year now since anything to do with the classic The Muppet Show has been covered and well I thought that now was the right time to delve back into the world of The Muppets. As i'm also a huge mega James Bond fan it really only made sense that the episode that I review also feature the actor who has been in the most James Bond films with this review even being one that's proven to be very difficult to get off the ground as well and so then join me as I review the episode that sees James Bond team up with Kermit The Frog with the episode in question being called simply just "Roger Moore" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is with this episodes guest star being Sir Roger Moore himself Kermit The Frog wants to make sure that this episode goes off without a hitch which includes hiring hiring real spies for the episodes final sketch. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as this episodes plot was a simple plot which is something that really does work for this show as thew main attraction of this show is never the plots it's always either The Muppets themselves or the sketches and having a deep thought provoking plot would get in the way of the characters just being there wonderfully chaotic themselves and the sketches as well as now they would have to fit in a deep plot which is something that you really don't need for The Muppet Show as while yes it is great that some of this shows do have plots in them there usually just something related to what's going on backstage and that's really it and that's all they need to be as here the plot of Kermit getting real spies for the episode is wonderfully absurd and as something that could only work in an episode of the show and while it would have been better if this episode did have more of an plot as the whole getting real spies was one of the more entertaining aspects of the episode it's not rally something that was needed as this episode was also pretty entertaining in it's own right with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and a swell as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring I'm this episode is Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Rowlf , Villager , Waldorf , Link Hogthrob , The Newsman and The Swedish Chef and Frank Oz as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear and Boo Mortmorkinson. Also starring in this episode is Jerry Nelson as Pops , Lew Zealand , Louis Kazagger , Purple Spy , Viking Pigs,  Quongo and Gnu , Richard Hunt as Scooter , Janice , Statler , Bruno , Otter, and Viking Pig , Dave Goelz as Beauregard , Pink Spy , Mackerel , Baskerville , Viking Pig , Handcuff Salesman and Figurehead , Steve Whitmire as Viking Pig , Rizzo The Rat , Green Spy , Deer and Rabbit , Louise Gold as Annie Sue Pig and Villager , Kathy Mullen as Gaffer and Villager , Betsy Baytos as Singing Fish and Cow and Sir Roger Moore as Himself.

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. As while of course Sir Roger Moore is really good in this episode with him playing a more debonair version of himself it's the shows regular actors that really god turn in the best performances in this episode as all of them have alot of moments that make you remember why these characters are so well beloved in the first place be it either Miss Piggy trying to flirt with Sir Roger or Scooter and Beauregard confusing Kermit's request for spies with pies there are alot of great acting to be seen in this episode which makes it all the more shocking that people just don't straight up recognize the actors in this episode as actors as they have to go through all the things that regular actors go through only these actors not only have to to invent the character but they also have to all the emotions for the character through either their voices or their own hand movements all of which comes into great effect in this episode with it being painfully hard to tell just who the best actor is in this episode as they could all make that claim but if push does indeed come to shove then it would have be either Jim Henson , Frank Oz or Sir Roger Moore as while playing a character is easy work playing a version of yourself is always going to be harder work to do and in the case of both Jim and Frank they are both just so good in this episode with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written that all this episodes have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of the naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode. 

Speaking of Sir Roger Moore he really was a joy to watch in this episode as while it does come across as him playing up to The Muppets. He is still quite clearly enjoying himself in this episode with even this more fictional version of him just as much char and charisma as Sir Roger himself is known to have with the only thing that let down this take on the man himself being the fact that they don't play up to the fact that he's also kind of a goofball as he was known on various James Bond film sets for pulling harmless practical jokes something which would have fit in right at home with the more chaotic nature of The Muppets and while he does make for a very natural guest star for this show to have as he is quite possibly the biggest if not one of the biggest names to ever appear on this show in the first place he's not really used all that well in the episode as while he does rather rightfully get alot of screen time alot of it is just spent mugging for the camera which is something that does feel out of place with even Sir Roger himself looking very awkward in those moments and while Brain Henson did describe him as being very debonair something which was true for him even in his real life as well he was also someone who wasn't afraid to standup to what he believed in which was why he got involved in charity work in his later career something which the makers of this episode might have been able to use for material depending on when he first started to do his charity work with really the only aspect of the real Sir Roger Moore that was translated over to this more fictional version of him being the fact that he was kind of a ladies man something which we see in his opening sketch. 

Given that his episode has perhaps one of the most well known classic James Bond actors in it and the fact that they mention spies quite alot during the episode you'd think that they'd do a James Bond spoof at least once during the episode. However they oddly don't which might be because of the fact that the creature of The Muppet Jim Henson hated violence but given just how well known the character of James Bond was back then it would have made sense for them to give the character a Muppets twist and while it could be argued that films like Ocotopussy and A View To A Kill help to make the Sir Roger Moore version of the character a parody anyway it would have made sense for The Muppets to do there own take on James Bond lest we forget they also spoofed Star Wars when that film was out even down to using some of that films original actors and yet here here they don't do it now granted there's not really much of a way that you could spoof it outside of doing a very badly done sketch with someone like Link Hogthrob playing a version of Blofeld and Miss Piggy playing a Bond Girl but that's really it and even then there's no way that you could have a Bond Girl in the sketch due to the fact that they usually have very innuendo laden names but even so it still would have been nice to see what the world of James Bond would like through the world of The Muppets as that's a take on the character that really hasn't been seen before and given the franchise already did have a parody film released in the sixties it wouldn't have been out of the realm of possibility either as it would have been quite fun to see Sir Roger Moore spoof the role that arguably made him even more well known then what he already was at the time.

At the start of the episode it's stated by Brian Henson himself that the "In The Navy" sketch is one of the best things that The Muppets have ever done with this coming down to the fact that it took a day to film. Which might not seem like much but when you take into account that the average episode of the show usually took three days to film it now seems like quite alot of time to spend on a sketch that whilst it is yes ambitious it's also not that funny or crazy it's just sort of there and heck even the opening skit with Pops being revealed as a spy is more funny as that's something that you don't really see coming where as with this episodes opening sketch it's just not that funny to watch with what could have made that sketch even funnier was if they had The Swedish Chef come im to try and convince the audience that The Vikings weren't all that bad which is something that they do set up as a possibility when he outright attacks Kermit at the Sketch when he says all of these horrid things about them and therefor having him come in to interrupt the sketch just to try and defend there actions during the sketch would add an extra layer of chaos to the sketch and while the idea of them using the Pigs for that sketch was a good idea it would have been funny if they had a rather disinterested Miss Piggy be one of the characters in that sketch like there all just singing the song and she's doing anything that they she can do to either move the sketch along and make it alot more faster then what it already is or just to get out of the sketch itself as she deems to be beneath her just anything would have made it funnier then what it already is as right now whilst it is a good idea for a sketch it's also one that does feel like it's rather undercooked as well.

To give this episode some credit it really does know how to use it's more established characters as even tho characters like Gonzo and Fozzie don't really make an appearance outside of appearing in the shows opening. All of the other more established Muppets characters do work really well and while they could have done with them being in more of the backstage skits as these are usually where The Muppets shine there brightest the fact that we do still get all of the things that made us love these characters in the first place and that still makes kids today love these character in the first place does show that the makers of this episode really did know how to use there characters as it would have been very easy for them to appear just with Sir Roger Moore and that's really it and it would have sense for them to do that as well as the very idea of seeing James Bond appearing in a scene with Kermit The Frog would be more then enough to get people to want to watch this episode but what gets them to watch the next episode is seeing how these characters interact with each other and seeing Kermit get a little bit frustrated with both Scooter and Beauregard over a simple case of mixing up his orders for the final sketch is something that does work as it then leads to a scene that carries on the traditional Muppet chaos something that would have been lost if we didn't have the traditional Muppet characters being there lovable selfs but at the same time there is quite a clear love for Miss Piggy in this episode as she's the one that appears in the most sketches which is fine as she's a funny character but at the same time it would have been funny to see Sir Roger trading bad jokes with Fozzie or even talking about stunt work with Gonzo.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and twenty nine seconds. Which is a perfectly solid running tie for this episode to have as it's pretty much the bogstandard running time for this as while this episode really doesn't have the right amount of plot there to cover that running time in this case that isn't really a bad thing as you don't really come to the Muppet Show for it's plot you come for it's sketches and therefor not having a plot that justifies being in an episode that's this long in the first place isn't really an issue as is the fact that the episode doesn't really use it's running time all that wisely in the first place as it doesn't matter if the plot is that well developed due to the fact that it doesn't need to be that good in the first place it just needs to be passable enough to get to the next sketch and that's really it and the episodes characters don't really need to be that well developed as all of the more established characters have the several dozen episodes and movies to get there character development and therefor they don't need it in every single episode of the show and it could even be argued the fact that there characters don't really get any character in the show let alone this episode is something that adds to there charm as they are meant to be these characters who are just trying their best to put on the best show possible with the thing that makes the show as a whole work being the chaos that goes on around them and that is something that doesn't really require character development as all it does is require the character to be fun and charming and that's what they are both in the show as a whole and in this episode as well 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 does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well the 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 really good. With this show having some really moments in it all of which feel true to who The Muppets are as characters with even alot of this episodes jokes doing a good job of showing of just how fun and goofy that Sir Roger Moore was as even he's blantly playing up to The Muppets it is something that does make his scenes all the more fun to watch as it would have been very easy to have his scenes be flat and boring and have no jokes but the fact that the makers of this episode when the extra mile by having be this kind of goofball type of character does show that the makers of this episode really did know how to make him a funny person with the best joke in this episode being the fact that when Kermit is introducing the first sketch of the episode he says that the vikings where these horrible people which causes The Swedish Chef to come out and argue with Kermit which ends with hi hitting Kermit across the back of the head with his pans which causes Kermit to suddenly say that the vikings where nice and forgiving people which is just a really good joke with the episode being filled to the brim with really good jokes as well like the fact that Miss Piggy not only can't speak French but also gets stood up by Sir Roger Moore but also the fact that the person he's standing her up for also looks exactly like her which is just a really good joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst this episode might not be the best episode it is one that is still pretty funny as it shows us just how funny not only The Muppets can be but also how funny that Sir Roger Moore was as well and while the episode could have been alot more better it also could have been alot more worse as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets 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 The Muppets 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 The Muppets fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "Eternal Youth" Review

It's been quite a while since anything from the classic Batman: The Animated Series was reviewed by yours truly. With the series spawning many great episodes alot of which went on to impact the Batman franchise as we know it to be today it was only a matter of time before we got to an episode that's not that great with the episode episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being one such an episode and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Alfred get in on the action with the episode in question called simply just "Eternal Youth" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Alfred and a lady friend go to a spa hotel and the insistence of Bruce Wayne they come back and can't wait to go again and so it's up to Batman to find out what's actually going on at this spa and stop it 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 that's also the problem as it's not all that good either with the episodes plot being one that's just average at best as no matter how you try describe it you can't make it sound interesting with the only interesting aspect of the episodes plot being the fact that Alfred gets involved in it and that's really it as the whole subplot about the missing millionaires feels wasted as it's not that well developed and while the plot is an interesting enough idea that it could make for a decent enough episode of the show it still needed a skilled hand to make a good plot and that's sadly what we didn't get here as almost everything about this episodes plot just doesn't work as it does feel like a weak plot with the whole plot of the episode really hinging on Alfred going to this spa with his lady friend which don't get me wrong is a great idea as having Alfred involved does add stakes to the episode but at the same time tho the episode doesn't do all that much with that idea with this episodes plot feeling like that there was a good plot in there trying to get out but for whatever reason it just couldn't 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 Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Bob Hastings as Commissioner Gordon. Also starring in this episode is Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred Pennyworth , Animaniacs , Wakko's Wish and Plump Fiction star Julie Brown as Lily , The Little Mermaid star Paddi Edwards as Maggie Page , Diane Pershing as Poison Ivy , Lynne Marie Stewart as Violet and Sister Act star Carmen Zapata as Judge Vargas.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With the actors that you expect to give us a truly good performance from giving us exactly that the issues comes however from the fact that alot of this episodes guest cast feel lost and unsure of themselves at best and just straight up miscast at worst with the best example of this being Julie Brown who's character Lily is a henchwoman in this episode and yet she's given this very soft spoken very Californian type of voice that makes her sound more like a comic relief to the main hero then she does a sidekick to the main villain with the same thing also bein true Violet played by Lynne Marie Stewart which does make them feel like they were miscast in this episode and while Paddi Edwards can and has turned some really good performances in the here it feels like that she's struggling a little bit to turn in a good performance with it being clear as day that the here best actors in the whole entire episode are of course Kevin Conroy who is as always pitch perfect as both Bruce Wayne and Batman , Efrem Zimbalist Jr. who is just a joy to listen to in this episode and Diane Pershing who is wonderfully menacing as she always is as Poison Ivy with the acting that's in this episode no really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episode actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that currently over at Sunrise Inc.. 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 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 the best part of this episode as that's just how good that this episodes animation was with the episode being filled to the brim with these really dark and borderline gothic looking backgrounds that really do suit this version of Batman and while the rest of the episode was really weak at best the one thing that did stand out because of how good that it was was the animation as you can tell right from the first frame that the makers of this episode but alot more thought and effort into making the episode look really good and giving us some really high quality looking animation which is something that really does shine through in the final cut of the episode and even tho the characters movements do look a little bit stilted and wooded at times when the movements look fluid they work really well with even the episodes animation going above and beyond in trying to hide the fact that the villain is so obviously Poison Ivy by having her front covered entirely in shadow leaving just enough for us the audience to work out who it is which is something that the makers of this episodes really didn't have to do as it's pretty obvious who the main villain of the episode is but at the same it does give us a really cool looking shot that works really well because of how well done that the animation in this episode really is.

Speaking of Poison Ivy whilst she does get a pretty cool looking opening shot she isn't really all that well used in this episode. With her scheme in this episode being the fact that she wants to get revenge on all of the millionaires that have done something wrong to the environment which really makes her seem more look the good guy then a straight up villain as while yes her motives are just it's how she goes about it that makes it evil as she first invites them to this spa under the promise of looking younger forever and then when they come back a second time she basically turns them into trees which does lead to some pretty creepy looking visuals and while the episode at the start does look like it's going to make it a big mystery who the main villain of the episode is going to be you can tell right away who it is and by the time we see the character in her disguise for the episode that whole mystery aspect of the episode is all but dropped which is something that does make alot of sense as this version of Poison Ivy does have a very recognizable look to her and so you'd be able to work out who it is the second that she appears on screen anyway and while the character does get alot of screen time in this episode it just feels like the makers of this episode are just going through the motions with her character as there's nothing really there to her character in this episode and while granted this episode an this show do treat the character alot more better then both the Harley Quinn animated series and Batman & Robin it feels like that they could have done something more interesting with her character in this episode as to be frank it kind of felt like that she was only added into the episode because the makers of this episode forgot to include an actual villain and so they just threw her into the episode late into the scriptwriting stage.

Even tho the show is named after him and he is the main character of the show Batman in this episode felt more like a side character. With him being relegated to what was basically the side plot of the episode with the episodes main character for it's first and second act being none other then Alfred himself which did make for a refreshing change of pace as you just know that if Bruce Wayne was the one going to this spa then he very quickly would have worked out that Poison Ivy was the one behind everything and plus making Alfred the main character foes add some stakes to the episode as now Bruce isn't just fighting to stop Ivy he's also fighting to keep his butler and friend alive and well with the only downside to this being the fact that the episode doesn't really take the time to develop Alfred or even Maggie Alfred's friend all that much as characters and while that's fine for Alfred as there are several other episodes with him in it it's not something that works for Maggie as while the episode still does keep it's high stakes regardless of if both characters get developed or not it does make it hard to tell just what there relationship is even meant to be as she treats him like he's her boyfriend and he treats her like there just good friends and really nothing more then that and that is something that could have been more defined if the makers of this episode spent the time that they really needed to in developing her as a character as that would then make us the audience be all the more shocked when they both get attacked and sprayed by Ivy's poison and start t turn into trees and while the shock of that happening is still it's more due to the fact that Alfred is a minor character in the show rather then both of them being that well developed in this episode.

To give this episode some credit it really does have some really creepy looking visuals to it as the image of Alfred being turned into a tree could be from a kids horror film as it's just that creepy. With it's imagery being one of a few things that the episode does have going for it with the other being the fact that the two plots do tie together in a way that whilst yes it is predictable thanks to the opening prolog it is still creative and filled to the brim with tension but at the same time tho this episode does make both Alfred and Bruce out to be pretty dumb as Bruce receives the tape for the spa at his house at random and doesn't even question it when that right there is a major warning sign and Alfred even tho he most likely has seen pictures of Poison Ivy before either on that Batcomputer or the TV or even in the newspaper doesn't put together that this strange doctor who's telling him that these thins that will apparently make him younger is all around the building and in all of the drinks and food at this hotel which again is a major warning sign and yet both characters shrug it off when in other and better episodes they'd be on high alert from that point on and which does make it feel like that this episodes writer Beth Bornstein really doesn't know how these characters would act in this same situation but in saying that showing Bruce Wayne run from the Batcave in full Batman suit to Alfred's room n broad daylight just because he thinks that his friend is in trouble does feel like something that the character would do so there is some resemblance of good characters in here you just need to sit through alot of bad stuff to get to it.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty one seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is a perfectly solid running time to have with it being perfectly in line with the running times of all of the other episodes of this show as well and while this episode does just about have the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as it's main plot isn't that well developed with the episode instead being more focused on showing us the relationship between Maggie and Alfred then it is in telling us a well thought out story and while seeing those together does make the episode more fun to watch it gets to the point where seeing them together actively takes away from the main plot of the episode as the episode isn't giving it's plot the time that it really does need to be well developed and thought out with it seeming like that the characters are just doing things at random alot of the time as very little of what the characters do actually ties into the main plot of the episode with as was mentioned the episodes characters not being that well developed either as all of the new characters are either very one note like Maggie or just forgettable like Lily and Violet and both of those things are issues that could have been solved with just one rewrite of the episodes script as then you could allow for the plot to be well more developed and you could also alo0ow for the characters to be more well developed and more memorable as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad, As even tho the episode only really has the one action scene in the whole entire episode it was one that was really well done with this being due to the fact that if Batman doesn't defeat Ivy this time around then Alfred will permanently be turned into a tree which yes is a little bit out there but given that this is a comic book show it is something that does work for the episode as it does make the stakes of the action in this episode all the more higher as it's not just Batman's life on the line now it's now also the life of someone that he's close to with the episodes best action of course being the only action scene in the episode and that's the third act fight better Ivy and her sidekicks as they take on Batman which works as now Batman has to try and find away of defeating three women at once all the while trying not to get sprayed by Ivy and turned into a tree himself which is something that does add an extra bit of tension to the episode as well but at the same time tho this episode could have used with a few more fight scenes just to better make the episode a bit more entertaining to watch as this episodes action scene while it is good doesn't really have all that much going on in it where as if you had a small and quick action scene with Alfred in it then it would have been pretty entertaining to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall inn a show that's filled to the brim with good and sometimes even great there was bound to be one or two episodes that just aren't that good with sadly this episode being that one episode as this is an episode that is better left forgotten and left to history as it's just that average of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all o the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as or 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 Batman: The Animated Series 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 Batman: The Animated Series 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 Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
