Rick and Morty (2013)
It fell off...
The show was amazing in the first 2 seasons. Honestly, at the time, I think it was one of, if not the, best programs on TV. Mainly because of the fantastic writing, unique plots, trippy Lo-fi feeling animation, and it was funny. Genuinely, I think it was a creative juggernaut.
But now, the show has lost sight of its characters, the jokes feel like they're rehashing ideas, and the whole atmosphere of the show has shifted. It doesn't feel like a show made out of love anymore, it feels like a corporate product, leaning heavily into what they think made it popular while completely misunderstanding what made it popular. The show doesn't take risks anymore, it just repeats the same boring idea again and again with no creativity in it.
I think the show lost the magic it was born with, and now it's just a husk of what it once was. The emotional aspects fall flat, the drama feels forced, the comedy is tried and tired.
I recommend the first two seasons, anything afterwards is completely up to you, I didn't like it at all and I'm not going to watch season 7 whenever it comes out. I'm dropping this show for good.
Solar Opposites on the other hand...
Crank (2006)
Bloody Lovely
Masterpiece bro. One of the greatest action movies I've ever seen. I know it probably seems like I'm Overhyping this movie, I swear to one of the gods that it truly has a special place in my heart. My heart that feasts on adrenaline to keep itself alive, get it? Cause of the plot-get it?
Anyway, the movie has fast action that sucks you into this foul, crazy world. I feel like a total degenerate watching the movie, but it still feels amazing. This is the movie equivalent to cocaine.
I like it a lot. I think that it's similar in style and ethos to postal 2. Postal 2 is a game built for the scummy part of your heart that likes to give the occasional golden shower to a corpse. It's psychotic and feels amazing, the same goes for this movie. It's not as demented, but it makes up for that with the great action scenes.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
Gimmicky
Some of the gore/torture scenes were genuinely creative, and it did disturb me a little. But overall the movie relied just on the "Hey, look it's a character you know and love being evil, weird huh?" way too much. There wasn't a single point where I was scared or invested in the story at all. The movie could've leaned into the weird premise so heavily that it could've been good. But it was just a cookie cutter slasher with Winnie the Pooh frosting on top. So nah it wasn't good.
The atmosphere is paper thin. The style was bland and dull, not to mention the terrible writing that just plain sucks.
Yeah, the film isn't creative, and it doesn't have any fun with the idea. It's just disappointing.
I dont recommend it.
