Wolf King is the worst show I’ve seen in a long time. It clearly wants to be like Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it starts off terrible, predictable, and shoddy, and doesn’t rise all that far from that. Like even on a premise level, the show racks up issues. It’s an alternative world where some… Read More »

Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about. Source
To Watch Centaurworld Is To Stare Into Pure Chaos I don’t understand Centaurworld. It defies comprehension to such a degree I want to investigate creator interviews or production notes. Somehow, such a show was allowed to be made and then given this extreme level of care and budget. Let me start with the good, so… Read More »
The Show Is Very Predictable And Fantastic For It For better and not for the worst, The Ghost and Molly McGee is basically what you’d expect it to be. The first episode—which is all I’ve seen of it—is in the standard style of episodic comedy. But that’s not a complaint. There’s something appealing about this sort of show being… Read More »
Amphibia Is A Show With Several Distinct Themes Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about. A more continuous plot starts later, but for the first few episodes, the show is content with slice-of-life fun. Like, the initial worldbuilding… Read More »

It wears those influences on its sleeve—so much so your enjoyment might depend on how willing you are to play along with the show’s specific inspirations. Foremost,… Read More »

This is because I’ve not seen either Soul or the newest Toy Story—and I did not want spoilers. So, instead, I focused on some Incredibles shorts, the Coco short, and the Dory one.… Read More »
[embedded content] This Sub-Genre Seems To Be Working Out Well Between Kipo and The Last Kids on Earth, the child-friendly apocalypse has become a subgenre. But that’s not a bad thing, especially when both shows have been stellar. But there’s a major difference between these series. Kipo has childish aspects to it, sure, but it… Read More »
She-Ra Is Much More And Better Than It Appears She-Ra and the Princesses of Power admittedly was off my radar. Considering its parentage and implied target viewership, I never properly approached it. But now I’ve watched the first three episodes and am overwhelmingly and positively surprised. She-Ra is not only a good show, but perhaps… Read More »
