Avatar: The Last Airbender: Warriors (2024)
Season 1, Episode 2
1/10
Deprives any characters of real development
25 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Considering that this episode is mostly based on episode four of the original show, the writers seem to have done a good job at making sure all of the story arcs from that original episode go to waste.

The writers and actors for this episode explained that they removed Sokka's sexism because it could be seen as too offensive, yet all it does is introduce Suki as nothing more than a love interest for Sokka, which if anything else is more sexist than having Sokka be a sexist character.

Additionally, Sokka's while arc in this part was to realize his errors in judgement, and see Suki as his equal, while all this episode does is remove that, and add an unnecessary love subplot in its place.

Gone are Suki's traits that showcase her as an incredible warrior, and she is now nothing more than Sokka's girlfriend, while the animated show made her so much more.

Lego Masters: Bricks & All (2023)
Season 4, Episode 10
3/10
I already saw this
8 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, I don't often get mad at reality TV competitions, and that's not even what this really is. What bothers me is that this episode is just a bunch of clips from episodes I've already watched, and that the show already got delayed by a week thanks to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

So now instead of two weeks, I have to wait three weeks to see the end of the show, which is really disappointing. It's three starts due to a couple of interesting parts (Lie detector with Christopher, racing with Jeff Gordon), but most of this episode really felt like a waste to me.

Episode nine said to wait for next week's finale. It's been not one, but three weeks since the competition actually aired.

Helluva Boss: Unhappy Campers (2023)
Season 2, Episode 5
8/10
Different than most episodes
8 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Several character arcs in this episode were quite interesting in my opinion. Firstly, an episode that revolves around an assassination has been long overdue, the last one being C. H. E. R. U. B. back in season 1, which was at least two years ago.

Additionally, the subplot surrounding Barbie Wire was quite interesting, and it was nice to see the main plot and subplot intertwine, which usually doesn't happen much in this series.

Lastly, I thought an episode focusing on Millie had been something the creators should really do at some point, and this episode (mostly) delivers on that.

However, I felt that Moxxie had failed to be an interesting character in this episode, and also very out of character. I also felt that the stage scene at the end (not the nice song one, the...other one) wasn't really funny, and killed the chance of seeing Millie resume the "Millerd" identity later on in the series, which I think would've been interesting to see.

I give this episode a solid 8/10, since while it does have its drawbacks, things still sure do happen.

Helluva Boss: Truth Seekers (2021)
Season 1, Episode 6
10/10
Greatest episode in the series, but...
25 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is a really good episode, and definitely the best. Character arcs get developed, each character has some part in the story where they do something important, and it has a nice cliffhanger at the end.

However, I feel like this really should've been the season finale instead of "Queen Bee", for those very reasons. It serves as a fitting conclusion to the first season, and more of a sequel to "Ozzie's" and "Queen Bee" than the season 2 premiere.

This episode seems to carry over certain arcs that were only developed in the two following episodes, such as Loona actually listening to Blitzø (with a silent ø), and seems like a better follow-up to the Blitzø/Stolas arc than "Seeing Stars", since in that episode, the two seem to be on perfectly fine terms, while this episode is more of an in-between.

Also, the ending of the episode is more foreshadowing than depressing or uplifting, which contrasts most of the series, which I think would further why it would be a better season finale.

Still a fantastic episode that gets a 10/10, but I think its placement is a bit off.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Plan 99 (2023)
Season 2, Episode 16
1/10
Probably the most underwhelming finale ever.
30 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Just to make things clear, I don't have the one star rating because I think the episode is one star. I just have it this low since there's no way it deserves a (as of writing this) 9.3 rating.

First off, they decided to waste all of Tech's development this season by having him die in what feels like the worlds worst Mortal Engines reference, which really sucks since he was the only character to receive any development throughout the season.

Keep in mind that this isn't even halfway in, and it's probably the most emotional scene in the episode. What better way to have the viewer reel from his death than to cram in all the action scenes they forgot to put into the rest of the season.

The rest of this episode was extremely predictable, with plot points like Cid's betrayal and Omega's capture. Probably the worst episode of the season, and that includes the two-part filler story about that thief kid. If you're gonna kill of one of the main characters, and then tease a third season, let him die in a decent way instead of drowning it out in needless action.

Also Crosshair is in this, and does absolutely nothing.

Secrets of Sulphur Springs: Check Out Time (2022)
Season 2, Episode 7
10/10
Best of season 2
25 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Is the best episode of season 2 by far. It gives so much closure to the first story arc while setting up an intense third season, which is already looking really amazing.

The story arcs for Savannah, Sam and Griffin is amazing are this episode, and have a really good setup for season 3, but I can't help but feel that some characters are being handed the short end of the stick.

While Sarah and Ben don't have much going on in this episode, they definitely have something being set up for season 3, and the twins seem to have some sort of story in the works right now. As for Topher, the show has treated his character fairly poorly, if you remember that he's supposed to be as old as Griffin. However, I do have hope for his character, especially with how season 3 did a better job with him. Still the best episode of the first 2 seasons, and I can't wait to see what's next.

Far exceeded my expectations
12 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As for a Marvel show that said it would start out episodical and slowly create a centralized plot, I initially feared that this would end up being the next She-Hulk.

Fortunately, this wasn't the case. I was pleasantly surprised upon watching this. It was very similar in style to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which I enjoyed. I also found that the themes that were covered in just the first episode were very mature for what Disney markets as a kid's show, covering topics such as bankruptcy and peer pressure, while also staying relevant to the modern day, and not embarrassingly outdated.

Overall it's a great first episode that covers multiple aspects of modern culture, and does it well, while still being quite entertaining as an action show.

Lackluster follow up to a great premiere.
12 February 2023
I get why Disney would want this sort of episode, but as someone who isn't a four year old, it fails to entertain.

The first episode of Moon Girl was really good in that it had modern and mature themes about the real world that applied to both kids and adults. However, this episode feels like a Marvel rendition of Paw Patrol, with a generic, predictable, and utterly boring plot that failed to entertain me.

The message it tries to send is good, but for a show that had such a good first impression I wonder what the other episodes will be like, and if they will meet the standards that the series premiere set in place.

Little Einsteins (2005–2010)
1/10
I think my ears just bled out
29 January 2023
As someone who watched this as a kid, I accept the fact that I had no standards. The animation is horrible, and I swear that this was funded on cheap stock photos. Almost everything is poorly 3d rendered, and the characters' art style is far too contradictory to not look out of place.

Also, as a show based on music, the songs are terrible. The characters sound like they're screeching, and sound as if the voice actors were held at gunpoint as they recorded their lines.

Also, for something that's supposed to be a sort of "educational show", the actual logic is extremely inconsistent. Like, how does applying wind to a tree instantly remove the chlorophyll from its leaves? How do these kids have a government level spaceship inside their tree, yet they aren't old enough to earn a learner's permit?

Overall if your kids want to watch this and you're stuck with it, come equipped with a blindfold and some headphones, and the show mysteriously becomes bearable.

Lego Masters: Water Works (2022)
Season 3, Episode 12
9/10
A great finale to a great season
24 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I will say, this season had its ups and downs, but the finale did tie everything together from the season. While I may not free with the judging, I will say that all of the builds were amazing, so i can't be upset.

The series could benefit from some things though, like a public explanations of things like the score cards (like how Battlebots makes their score cards public), as the judging on the finale (as is every game show finale) always does seem quite off.

I also did miss the factor of the old contestants coming back, as teams like the Grandpappies would've been nice to see back, but I guess that's just personal bias.

Overall a great episode, and since old contestants are coming back for the holiday episodes I have confidence that Stephen and Stephen (Crash) will return again and win someday.

Yo, can't wait to see Phase 6 conclude when She Hulk goes to Disney Plus again to write Kang the Conqueror out of existence with the help of a self advertisement robot.

I also can't wait to see all powerful characters like Galactus, Ulysses and Knull to get rewritten by She Hulk. Truly the worst ideas in all of the MCU to this day. I'd go ahead and call Inhumans better than this piece of... (think of a PG word...) garbage (?). I'd go ahead and call it worse but IMDB (as well as 4 year olds on their moms phones) would be upset with my choices of language. This episode alone removes all tension for the MCU by allowing She Hulk to literally rewrite everything.

Watch the MCU end by having She Hulk bring back the Darkhold so she can dreamwalk into every She Hulk across every universe to combine efforts and commit regicide towards the watchers. Can't wait (someone in Marvel please kill off She Hulk, or else Phase 7 will just be She Hulk in the multiverse of She Hulks (and nobody else because we just wrote them out).

Lego Masters: Brickin' Bull Ride Rodeo (2022)
Season 3, Episode 3
4/10
Some major problems here
9 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, the idea of the challenge was really cool (even though I hate it when they break the builds during the challenge but that wasn't my problem). My problem came in the way they judged the builds. Although the Grandpappies didn't exactly have a great looking character, it at least did better than the fragile pig. The main objective was to last longer on the bull, and that was where the Grandpappies won. The Canadian stereotypes (let's be real here, I've never actually been to Canada but I'm willing to bet that not everyone wears Canada merch and drinks maple syrup all the time) had a Pig that while the concept was really fun, it was executed very poorly. The design was decent but it lacked detail in almost every part of its body (except the face). If design really compensates for at least 20% of the Bull meter, they should mention that a bit more. If esthetics were really that crucial, then they should really rethink how this judging system works, and make it clear to the contestants (like how Battlebots has a score card of 5/3/3 in Damage, Control and Aggression). The builders are just told what they have to do and the hosts never made it clear enough to fairly judge a situation like this week's bottom two. Even after that I was bashing my face against a table when they added another team who just gets to skip the first two challenges entirely. Not only did they have a sketchy at best elimination, but some random team is given a spot without even doing the first two rounds? I like Lego Masters as a show, and eventually want to be a contestant at some point, but if this is how they judge the show then I'll take as much time as I need.

LEGO Nexo Knights (2015–2017)
4/10
Pretty terrible, but not the worst
27 September 2022
Too many episodes feel like filler content, and accomplish nothing but a waste of 22 minutes. Character development is basically non existent, and I don't want to compare the show to Ninjago too much, but in comparison this show is so lazy. It feels like every drop of budget went to Ninjago and this show got the leftover funds. Is a cool concept but wasn't given enough effort to be fleshed out. The fight scenes are just depressing. I almost refer bad for the monsters since most of the time they're just hopping up and down, doing literally nothing and then they're shot at. All the fights basically end up the same, with the shield power ups saving the day and the exact same animation of the knights shielding (?) up. Lance is just annoying, Clay is too boring, Axl is plain stupid, Aaron is okay, but the way he talks makes me cringe, and Macy's only trait is that she's a girl and everyone around her is sexist. If any of the characters were truly interesting (Maybe give Jestro a sadder background or give Clay emotions) then it would be cool. Nice concept but filler episodes took up the time that could've been used for character development.

Finally a good episode
10 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is definitively the best She Hulk episode so far. The shovel joke was actually funny, and the cg wasn't horrendous (yet). I think the plot was great since there weren't by any subplots like last time (Asgardian Shapeshifter) or loose threads that go nowhere (Removing Abomination from Emil). The plot was given a whole half hour to do it's job, and wasn't dependent on cameos to make it interesting. It sets up the next episode well, and the credits scene was really funny. Good to see Wong finally adjust into society, and I hope "Wongerz" and his new friend Madisynn show up again. I like that the show so far hasn't been dependent on credits scenes (same thing with Hawkeye) so I'm glad to see where that goes. However, the biggest draw is that She-Hulk (the character) just isn't that exciting or entertaining. It's just the people around her that make the episode finally good. Honestly, Wong needs his own show at this point.

Not sure how I feel about this
2 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, there were some good and bad things about this episode and I'm not sure what to think.

Pros: Abomination was an interesting character in this episode, and was quite enjoyable to see. I don't know if he'll play a bigger role now that he's out of prison (maybe a she-hulk and abomination tag battle?)

Pros: I laughed once this time. That's the most I've laughed during this whole show.

Cons: the whole shapeshifter subplot was super dumb and didn't really contribute to the episode. Felt like it was a waste of time.

Cons: the post credits scene is really disturbing. Kinda regretting that I stayed to the end, honestly.

Overall I thought the actual important story was much better than the first two episodes but I'm not sure I actually like the series right now. I have hopes though and it will probably get better as they introduce the other characters in the trailers like Frog Man (was that his name?) and Daredevil.

Story felt extremely inconsistent
19 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So this episode starts off with a fourth wall break (which is a feature of She Hulk in the comics so I won't judge). Then it goes to a flashback which is basically the entire episode, but more should've been explained like the Sakaaran ship, which Hulk just brushed over. Not a fan of how short the final fight was, literally being two punches, when the episode was already really short and they could've made it longer by having a much better fight scene. I also felt her transformation and growth into the She Hulk was really rushed and quite stupid, but other than that it was an okay episode. Knowing what will be in the next episodes, the series will hopefully get a lot better. But I'm willing to say this episode alone is worse than eternals... and...umm...

Last thing: I know people keep complaining about how she hulk is better at all very thing but there's a simple solution to that:

She hulk was made of the smart hulk dna which was already stabilized, and as such she didn't have the whole cenile phase. At least that's probably what happened.

Really good plot and characters
30 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, it was so heartbreaking to see young Blitzo with his family. The series is really full of ambiguity, so getting to see the context of how Blitzo started using the Grimoir was nice. It was great to see Stolas finally fight for himself, too. 10/10, nothing can change that.

Definitely one of the best episodes of season 1
26 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Sonic Jen I found the episodes on cable recently, I recorded as many as I could. It had been years and I forgot most of the stories. When I saw this one I relived my childhood entirely. Leatherhead is one of the most emotional characters in the show, and I truly feel bad for the torture he went through. I'm glad he wasn't a one-off character. It's also nice to see Mikey not treated like garbage by everyone around him. A heartfelt episode that I feel is easily one of the best of maybe even the whole series. Leatherhead is truly relatable to people who have PTSD, and while I personally don't, it makes the anthropomorphic reptile all the more human. In short, I love this episode and nothing other than a rebooted emo Leatherhead can change that.

Huge waste of money
26 July 2022
I feel that the homeowners should maybe decide if they want to live or post the house before David and Hillary spend 200,000 dollars, knowing that half of that money is going to be wasted, because whoever gets the unchosen house is going to put work into redoing it again.

My god, it was such a sucker punch to see Harumi again. There was the hint she gave Lloyd that most viewers who don't binge it every day probably didn't get but as a hardcore Ninjago fan I dropped dead. The song. The song was always creepy, but what a way to end the episode. Can't wait for the second wave of episodes.

Mixels: Fang Gang Log Toss (2014)
Season 1, Episode 18
3/10
Probably the weakest of the original Mixels shorts.
11 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
First off, (no offense to the voice actor) but I can't stand Chomly's voice. It's really high pitched and scratchy, but that's not why I truly hate this episode. All the characters feel really out of character. The Mixels are supposed to be friendly to each other, and I'm not sure it was even close to their personality to break the log. The ending also feels really stretched out, and hearing Chomsky going to 20 is probably the most pain my ears have gone through since the Dragon Tales theme song. Again, no offense to the voice actor (who also voices Tentro, probably my favorite mixel of all time), but this episode really doesn't mix with the rest of the show that well (Bad Mixels pun. Sorry I'll stop now)

11 July 2022
The series pretends to be a reality show, but things like this don't actually happen the way they do. The old seasons were good in that it felt real, but this season feels like a desperate attempt to make it interesting to other audiences, and ends up feeling like Smosh: The movie.

Previously unlikeable antagonists, this episode gives the Nixels personality and a good story to go along with it. Definitely one of the better Mixels episode, and one of the best ones about the Nixels.

Mixels: Every Knight Has Its Day (2016)
Season 2, Episode 3
5/10
Feels like a rip off Disney Channel movie
4 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Disney Channel movies are never really good. Add Lego and you get whatever this is. I'm not sure how I feel about background Mixels becoming characters, or the lazy aspect of only showing the arm of Camelot's dad. I didn't know this episode existed until after the series ended, and you can imagine my disappointment of the last new Mixels episode I'll get to see turning out to be really bad. Mixadel was really annoying and felt like a Disney Channel Original Movie's villain, with almost no motives and a forced redemption arc. Also, the Mixamels would've been cool sets to see, as well as Booger. Maybe a non-polybag set would've worked great. Still better than the actual finale in my opinion, but lacked what made Mixels so good. Also, that one slideshow the teacher showed made Mixing seem so boring. And where a whole city of Mixels come from? There were only nine of them a year ago...

Mixels: A Quest for the Lost Mixamajig (2015)
Season 2, Episode 2
8/10
Would've made a better finale than the actual finale
4 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I really loved seeing all of the Mixels, and the episode felt really nice. The animation was lower quality, but it didn't affect the plot or characters so that was fine. It was great to see all of the Mixels again, and even though it was about a year, I still missed seeing them. This felt lien the Avengers Endgame of Mixels, where every Mixel so far comes to fight King Nixel, and it was honestly great. Not my favorite episode, but I wished Mixels ended on this episode because this episode was good. The other episodes didn't really compare after the plot of Mixels was basically over after this, and those last two just felt like Lego milking the last drops of money they could get from Mixels. This episode is great, but deserves to be the finale instead of just another episode.
