>positivesThe Kaboodle subplot was alright, there was some nice banter between him and Snappers. Speaking of which, they're the two best voices in this thing so far. (If you don't count Kaboodle's poor audio quality, which I'll get to in the negatives...) Gobbles also wasn't as annoying as I thought I'd be, though he could've used as much development as Flappers.>negativesKit's own world, as well as her personality, aren't touched upon much outside of the dreams and flashbacks she has. The show's rules so far are laid out in a basic, expository manner without consideration for pacing. Emotional beats are also inserted without much thought, making Kit's "courageous" and "uplifting" comments towards Gobbles come off as unearned. The sound mixing is also horrible, with inconsistent quality depending on whoever's doing the voices. Kaboodle got the worst of it, sounding like his mic was recorded on an Android. You'd think that was intentional, but Warrick has a more clear attempt at a robotic filter. Flappers just plain sucked.>what could be improvedGobbles obviously should've been the main focus if we're drifting from game-to-game straight away. Had episode 1 been about Gobbles' home world and episode 2 been about Flappers', Kit's comments towards Gobbles wouldn't have been nearly as jarring. Sound mixing duties should also go to someone who knows what they're doing, and isn't just a friend of the creator.
>>153932143I find it terrible that Kit's VA is the worst one in the entire cast. Why give the least skilled person the leading role? It's retarded.
>>153932282IKR? That's what happens when you have an anime dubber as part of your cast instead of someone like Grey DeLise.
To add onto my point about voices, most people don't like the Arin voices at all (totally understandable), but Fold and Crabbington also sound pretty bad. Both of them sound like they do a bad Papyrus impression.
I hate the entire premise
>>153934490The premise itself isn't bad, and the only reason I'm saying that is because ReBoot laid the perfect blueprint.
>>153934518I hate the premise because it's a house of cards meant to facilitate a really roundabout concept that doesn't feel organic at all.>If the good guys win the world explodes because we said so.Maybe it getting rejected by every network should've clued someone in that it wasn't good
>>153934540That's what happens when you only copy the surface level stuff. I mean, I guess this is better than that /tv/ continuation of ReBoot, but it's a low bar.
>>153934573I can't watch it because the dinosaur reminds me of Putt-Putt, and hating childhood nostalgia so much that you tear it down out of edgy nihilism is ironically insufferably childish
>>153932143>NegativeI dont know how to feel about Warrick. It seems like they’re doing a Lord Hater thing. Goofy but serious when he needs to be. The villain crew just seems like goofballs even though they succeeded in destroying a worldAlso the humor sucks. It is the banal most basic jokes.>characters yelling loudly>Kaboodle saying something mean and cynical >le funny voicesKit was actually useless throughout this pilot. If the entire conceit is protecting worlds from being destroyed, they sure didn’t do a good job showing why we should care about Flapper’s world. I dont know those peopleThat stinger was awful. I do not care a single iota about them>Here Kitty KittyFuck off. That line sucks.I thought the TADC pilot was mid so it could end up being a great show
>Mike the TVI'm Guardian 452, and I approve this message.
>>153935899KEK, I put him over Flappers because he was just as annoying. The only difference is that there isn't a running gag where everyone tells Flappers to shut the fuck up.
>>153936791Stop drinking onions
>PositiveIt's nicely drawn.There is potential to have an interesting mesh of characters interacting with each other.>NegativeThe choice of characters that gain focus seems really bad. Cynical robot, knock off barny and retarded dolphin are not characters that engage an audience. Cynical robot has been done to death since Bender. The only one that seemed any good was paperman.The premise seems convoluted and dumb.None of the humour landed.>CONCLUSIONIf this is a pilot to show off. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the show if this is the best they could open with. There could be potential but I dont have faith that they would do anything interesting with it. The only people I've seen positive about it are gooners posting a mid cat girl.
>>153936814Why would you drink onions?
It feels like GLITCH just wanted something that would look good and sell tons of merch, and a famous friend of a famous friend happened to have the perfect vehicle to do that
>>153937091>None of the humor landedNot even the “If you’re having trouble, shoot where they’re goimg…” joke?It wasn’t a gutbuster but it was the only inspired joke
>>153934490The premise is ok, it's just that modern writers can't do emotional stakes without it coming off as forced and/or disingenuous like Persona 5.
>>153935656Feel free to tell us what good humor should be any time you're ready, mister Rogan.
>>153932143>The show's rules so far are laid out in a basic, expository manner without consideration for pacing.>We get a quick sum up of kit completing her game by beating the main boss.>Gobble’s confusion about Farcade’s mission allows for this to be properly explained after the moment is overYou gotten two scenes to cover this. Farcade’s strategy is literally about pushing towards this outcome that was shown off and explained. Without us already knowing the stakes in play.> Kit's own world, as well as her personality, aren't touched upon much outside of the dreams and flashbacks she has. There isn’t a point. It would take a lot away from Flappers and his world when he is actually the hero of the episode. > Emotional beats are also inserted without much thought, making Kit's "courageous" and "uplifting" comments towards Gobbles come off as unearned.It appeared shortly Gobbles had to deal with Syntax, them pretty much easing up to blowing up the world at a rapid pace, and the whole game world system going up to eradicate them.
>>153938534>It would take a lot away from FlappersAlmost like that's because they speedran any meaningful development for Kit in order to shove in like two episodes of content.
>>153938729> Almost like that's because they speedran any meaningful development for Kit in order to shove in like two episodes of content.That is such a massive stretch. Uncle Ben’s death was much faster than this.
>>153938431If most of your laugh lines consist of a character shouting it, its probably not funny and you’re using loudness as a crutch. You probably can’t even remember a joke that didn’t end in yelling
>>153939091There it is. Those who can't do, critique.
>>153939091> If most of your laugh lines consist of a character shouting it, it’s probably not funny and you’re using loudness as a crutch.Whodaresentermyliar
>>153939148To be fair, the joke was that Snappers kept saying his catchphrase at the wrong time.
>>153939041Different landscape. In Spider-Man the setting is real life-ish so there's less to explain. In GO they make the same kind of assumption>well people know what a video game is and what a generic journey entails so there's no reason to show itbut this is supposed to be a more fantastical setting so they're kind of just making anything potentially interesting boring.
>>153939183> Different landscape. In Spider-Man the setting is real life-ish so there's less to explain.What is this bizarre bullshit?
>>153939148That’s fair. It was a decent joke although predictable. 5/10>>153939121If your humor hasn’t evolved past 2010s YouTube, that’s your problem
>>153939216People know what a city is, they know what wrasslin is, they know what spiders are, they know what rent is, etc.
>>153939247> That’s fair. It was a decent joke although predictable. 5/10No it wasn’t. No one knew what he was saying because it was so fast.
>>153939315Delulu
>>153932143I think Flappers worked in the 2009 short series, but I think he's going to be absolutely insufferable to put up with in this series. I can't imagine 9-10 episodes with him in it.I think Kit's development is fine because they could always do a full flashback episode, or a Farcade episode that details what she does on an off-day. But maybe I'm just rubbed the wrong way because the first episode was dedicated to Flappers over any other main character but I find him super annoying.
>>153940797>full flashbackPointless because they put in all the parts that would have mattered
>>153932143First episode should have been all about Gobbles and getting him past the spergy panicky behavior instead of having him suddenly "learn" how to give a platitudinous peptalk because Kit was having her realistic panic attack. Literally nothing he saw, said, heard, or did throughout the entire episode, nor anything implied to have happened before the episode starts, implies that he was learning about working together and pushing through panic and axienty. Not to mention the panic attack was about something that was ham-fistedly established to have happened ages ago and also seeing worlds destroyed by protags beating their game being a common problem for Kit in the first place.The rules of the Gameoverse are also insultingly stupid and the fact that they spent more time on Flappers acting like Gir, only dumber, which was incredibly unfunny, than explaining the fucking setting or fully establishing the characters.
>>153941686Gobbles is a learnosaurus. It's what he does.
>>153941779Who the fuck taught him any of that, though? I get that's his gimmick. In an episode where he did something besides panic and scream animal noises at a tablet I'd understand how he could learn some lessons about emotional support... But he didn't fucking learn anything. He didn't DO anything until that exact moment when he suddenly declared that he learned how to be supportive right then.
>>153942296He doesn't just learn from direct examples but also from situations he's presented with. She was sad so he learned to cheer her up. How do I know this? I made it up, which is more than what the writers did to justify it.
