Trying to be Spongebob, but based on a game
20 February 2022
Weird casting, but I'm not surprised, because this is Netflix. I've never played Cuphead, but as far as I'm aware, the animation and music are spot-on, very fluid, rubbery movements like in early cartoons, with orchestral music that follows the events on-screen. Good stuff.

It feels even more for-small-children than Spongebob is, though, and that's weird, considering who the game was aimed at. It's a bit of a wrong move to aim this show at that young of an audience, but again, this is Netflix making the big choices after all, and as usual, they're wrong.

I'm rating higher than I should because someone worked hard on those visuals and music. The writers also probably did their best with what they're allowed.

But yeah, not exactly riveting content, just Cuphead-y enough to make the fans watch it, I'm sure, and that'll be enough of a reason for this show to become popular.
