What If...?: What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger? (2021)
Amazing animation, but story wise it had a few flaws
Tbh, I was not looking forward to this episode. While the what if show has always been my most anticipated D+ marvel show, the plot for this particular episode never interested me, however I went in with an open mind.
Pros:
Animation was flawless. One of the most beautiful episodes of TV I've ever seen, worth watching for the animation alone
It totally sold me on captain Carter, I like her and I am excited to see her more going forward.
It showed the sexism of the 1940s and how some would actually react to the creation/deployment of her
Cons:
Holy smokes, Sebastian stan cannot voice act to save his life. It felt like he came in, banged through all of his lines in 10 mins, and went home. Extremely distracting.
Felt completely rushed, but that's to be expected of a 2 hour movie chopped down to 33 mins. If it was an hour then I would've liked this episode a lot more
This episode felt tonally inconsistent to me. I like how dark it gets with people actually dying (only nazis tho, but I don't mind that) and cursing. But then it'll go from that, to getting kicked in the balls jokes and silly jokes that don't work with the tone
All in all, a rocky start to a hopefully great series.
Infinity Train: The Toad Car (2020)
This is the most I've ever been impacted by a show
This episode, man this episode. It hit me in the feels more than any other thing I've ever watched. This show was already brilliant before, but the way they developed Jesse over this season, is perfect. I've never connected with a character more and his flaws are things that I've faced with in life. After feeling the same way about his swimming story in the last episode, I was already shedding a tear or 2, but after that scene with his phone, I broke down. Never before have I been impacted so much. Seeing my own problems reflected (haha get it?) so perfectly in a character on screen hit differently. Thank you so much infinity train. This is already an amazing show, but this episode alone puts you as my favorite animated show of all time. Thank you
