My Little Pony: A New Generation (2021)
Force Awakens+Zootopia!(And no one can convince me otherwise.)
I tried to like this movie, but my age induced cynicism combined with the increasing feeling of watching a product just stopped any chance of such happening. It keeps going on about how good the past is while forgetting to do or say anything of substance or importance of it's own beside surface level callback for brownie points, wich gives off the impression the creators know the material but doesn't care for it. On the other side it's political massaging might've hold more weight in the 10th century(wich is true of any identity politics honestly) but unfortunately NO MORE! So the massaging comes off more as the corporate executives using jedi mind tricks on the audience saying:-"SEE HOW PROGRESSIVE,UNDERSTANDING AND POLITICALLY CORRECT WE ARE? GIVE US YOU'RE MONEY"! And I'm saddened on that This, is what the entertainment industry become-:a factory where corporate ghouls push out disposable content based on focus group testing and statistics rather than passionate artists and the people working together to make something enjoyable and memorable that makes you:laugh,cry fear,mad(in a good way),learn,feel suspense maybe learn a thing or two anything in between, but it seems like the further we go the more we devolve and it seems like"a long time ago in a galaxy fare fare away, Search you're feelings, for you know it to be True"!
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Splinter/Slide Whistle Stooges (2008)
Not bad, and extremely over hated.
Whenever I see American critics(🇭🇺!) discuss gross out humor in children's programming it's made out to be a hellish sin(when reviewing-T. A. W. O. G.'s:"the box"internet critic:"cr martin"grinds to a halt for discussion) I won't argue it can't be done wrong, but to compare it to squidward's toenail removal is woefully disengenuous and petty for three reasons:-1:it's EXAGGERATED. 2:it's not lingered on!(toenail:NEVERENDING CLOSE UP!😡) 3:the characters REACT APPROPRIATELY!😡 Again compared to the toenail where only squidward reacts it's fare more respectful. I need to reiterate I'm not defending gross out humor, but like any aspect of writing it needs to be judged on a"case by case"basis, because if we demonize an entire subjectmatter simply for instances of bad execution we limit the type of stories that can be told, ie:"captain planet is a bad enviromentalist cartoon so All enviromentalist cartoons are bad"!
The Secret Saturdays (2008)
An underrated Gem!
The best way to describe this show in a stylistic and story angle is if:"Guillermo Del Torro decided to mix he's trademark creature fascination with- elements from James bond and Indiana Jones with seasoning ranging from sci-fi and fantasy into the mix". The animation is the righ ballence of syplistic/detailed.(although more blurry backgrounds been more beneficial in the long run"ala DC animated universe") and the voice acting is neither too realistic to be unremarkable(like chi clone wars specifically Matt lanter's anakin) or so overdone you can't take it seriously(like ttg) riddled with memorable characters on both good and bad sides, surprising writing and good comedy and we have a cartoon that wouldn't be out of place in cn's golden age!
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: One Bad Apple (2012)
One good apple is More like it!🍎👌
The episode has a good song an interesting guest character and an actually good argument four why you shouldn't stoop down to a bully's level in order to deal with them. And out of everything i most appreciate that it does so Visually!(whenever babs picked on the c.m.c. It happened with only them and Diamond Triara and Silver Spoon around, while the c.m.c. We're planning to humiliate baby in front of a Huge Crowd!) if people wanna talk about a good anti bullying massage, This is it right here!, How did those boneheads miss it? >:(
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Sounds of Silence (2018)
Mediocre at best, boring,stupid,infuriating,cliché at worst.
The episode's basic plot sounds more like clockwork orange, likewise the solution the kirin devise for their dilemma, the new named character is(Yet) another pinkie pie clone, fluttershy(who talked down a dragon)'s reasoning for continued silence is asinine and completely out of character, it's like the new writer wasn't told anything about he players of this episode or watched older ones. I don't recommend this to anyone!
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Perfect Pear (2017)
A pear shaped disaster!
In my opinion a love story needs two things to function:-two equally developed interesting characters and a good story. This episode lacks both and the reasons why is obvious! The love story in question isn't forbidden just frowned upon, out of the two romantic leads there's only one is a fleshed out Person, and unlike other stories where the couple impacted the world around them here it's a meaningless event that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things! Zero stars from me.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Honest Apple (2017)
Honest apple? Sour grapes!🤢👎
From a sloppily delivered massage to the comedy/characters being unbearable to watch, the biggest deal breaker for me is the story not managing the basic fundamental equirements of any good story:"Consistency". Instead taking the captain marvel approach of doing a 180 towards the finish line in in universe delivery but outside perspective clearly shows AppleJack is Still in the right!>:( If you wanna watch an episode of this show that turns a principle player into a jerk for the majority of the runtime and with a More justified reason watch:"Putting your hoof Down"and avoid this at like covid.
