Ted Lasso (2020)
Another showed ruined.
Season 1 of Ted Lasso was a great, funny, and wholesome experience. It stood out from other shows with its fresh ideas and a cast of unique characters. It offered a different perspective on what it means to be a real man.
However, Season 2 was a bit lackluster. It didn't bring anything particularly new to the table. The wholesomeness of the show took on a slightly Disney-like quality in its fictional portrayal, with every character suddenly adopting Ted Lasso's view of the world out of nowhere, even in characters where it didn't fit, or some other characters who greatly benefited from Ted Lasso's way, completely abandoning it. Nonetheless, my sister still enjoyed it.
As for Season 3, it was quite disappointing. It felt like a forced attempt to lecture the audience, with the writers and showrunners showing contempt for people they clearly didn't understand (especially noticeable if you're familiar with online culture). It's another example of a ruined piece of media created by elitists who believe they're superior to their audience, highlighting the ignorance of the writers. However, my sister still enjoyed the third season. So, I suppose this show might appeal to those who are disconnected from current cultural happenings or who, like the show's writers, feel contempt for others they fail to understand.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Don't let the first world haters who are obssesed with happentance of birth ruind this for you.
This was much better movie than i expected, don't let those people who demand your happenstance of birth be the same as fictional characters ruin this for you, who cares if the little mermaid is black or if Chris Pat is not Italian? Ignore the first world people who define others by their happenstance of birth, and go enjoy the UNIVERSALLY LOVED Super Mario Brothers. Has plenty for al generations of Mario gamers to enjoy. The jokes are childish but funny, (they are not marvel silly). Also glad to see the critics hating on this and the audience(who actually watch it instead of judging by actors happenstance of birth) not so much.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Not The Wheel of Time
I really wanted to like this, before it came out i was worried, but i was also hopeful, after a terrific Dune and terrific Witcher, i was really hoping this series would adapt from the source material in a good way, but this went the way of the Expanse, and a story based on the books that some hollywood type though he/she/they could improve for "modern" audiences.
The source material is excellent, my favorite fantasy series, better than GoT, but they change so much of the books, its a story based on the books but its definitely not Robert Jordan masterpiece, i can handle some required changes, GoT did as much, but this just butchers the story, i can handle the "Wokeness" i honestly couldn't care less about skin colors of the characters, heck i find those complaining about the Two river folks kind of stupid, who cares how heterogeneous they are, is fiction.
But the changes made to the books are not cool and definitely redefine everything for the worse, why would they change the main character so much? Why create a wife for Perrin that he ends up killing in the first episode? Why is Rand not the dragon reborn? Why are Matt parents so different? Why would they change Moraine sexuality?, the story is already completely different and they haven't even finish the first season, let alone the content of the first book.
Might be a good series for some people which is why i gave it 3 stars, but this is not for me. Well enjoy it, i know i cant, i hope this gets cancel and remake, but i doubt it, ill just have to live being hostile enough to people who mention this "wheel of time" adaptation to me, so that they know not to do so again in the future.
Enjoy, i know i can't.
Cowboy Bebop (2021)
A Great Japanese Anime refurbish for a modern American audience.
It was made clear to me early on by some of the cast that i was likely not the target audience for this, from the director making the comments about the casting requirements, to the casting itself chiding fans for wanting original type customs. Even if i loved the anime, they made it clear they had to follow a checklist of the modern American culture (gringo culture) but still i had hope, like i still have hope for the One Piece live Action adaptation.
But once again Netflix let me down, i had hope for a terrific unexpected adaptation like it happen with the Witcher... but it didn't happen.
If you like the original anime and movie, you probably wont like this, but if you are into scify(channel) type series, this is tailor made for you, and i hope you enjoy it, cause i can't.
Seinto Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac (2019)
The woke first world ruins something that is enjoyed outside of the woke first world with their wokeness.
"It's 2018, 5 dudes saving the world is not politically correct enough" that's the reason we were giving as to why Shun turn into a woman... instead of using a strong woman from the series, they decided to gender swap in the name of progressives. (no wonder the right became counterculture in the first world)
Japanese needs to learn not to work with Americans in any other form of entertainment until their woke-prude phase is over.
The Flash: Harry and the Harrisons (2018)
Weak Technobabble takes away from an otherwise decent episode.
I know this is a weird review, but bad technobabble can ruin good sci-fi. I don't know the technobabble it's not usually this bad, i mean i can tell that the things they say make no sense, but at least they don't sound ignorantly stupid of popular science.
Starting with the shards have "the potential energy to level a city"? well yeah, so does a fingernail going by the most famous evacuation of Physics, E = mc^2. I mean, why kind of sale point is that?
"The answer is not in science is in Placebo?" errhm... placebo is a scientific concept, discovered by scientific review, i would expect a brilliant bioengineer like Caitlin Snow to know that much.
Also can you guys not say lobotomize? "reset the frontal cortex, melt your mind"? ok i guess...
And that's ignoring the gender constructivist comnent made, (constructivism dismisses evolution, cross cultural meta analysis.) it's only accepted by certain echo chambers within the humanities and hollywood, so please stop.
