The Powerpuff Girls (2016)
Not as bad as Teen Titans go,but it still needs a lot more direction
Okay,just to make this clear,I do not want this show to be exactly like the original,I'm not even bothered by the new actresses,in fact the fact that it tries too hard to profit of the old audience's nostalgia is my main problem.You see,they have this tendency to remake the old show's episodes,like the one where Buttercup joined a gang,and this is the problem:if it isn't broken then don't fix it,especially if you don't know how it works.You see the point of the original was to have 3 cute little girls save the day in a mean spirited adult world,here it's 3 cute little girls save the day in cute world.Also,this really seems to be an unintentional comedy reboot of an action show,what I mean is that the animation is a lot cheaper and is being made by less professional people so they have to cut out the action and replace the violence scenes with "pow" banners.And even when it tries to be its own thing it fails,it bases way too much on what's popular today.The original had modern day pop culture references too,but this one has:i-phones,memes and twearking,I'm not kidding there's twearking in this show.It's not as bad as Teen Titans Go but his show simply can't stand neither on its own,neither as a reboot.
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015)
Great french cartoon
Okay so as you probably've guessed after reading the premise,LadyBug is a homage to the superhero and magical girl genre,and it shows in its transformation scenes,to the villain who turns innocent people into his henchmen by using his mind control powers,to the whole "oh,I'm not interested in you,Cat Noir,I got a crush on Adrien,a guy who looks just like you but can't be you" cliché.However even if it might use some clichés,most of the times they come off as a homage rather than a repetition of something which has been done over and over again.It really doesn't matter if something has been done before,what it really matters is what you make out of it.My only real problem with this show is that it feels a little bit too much like Sailor Moon,yes I know it's supposed to be a homage but sometimes the tune feels a bit generic especially when it comes about the villain.He's not bad but someone like him could very well belong to any magical girl anime who had a villain with mind control powers. Anyway outside of this the show doesn't have any other real problems and the CG is awesome by TV's standards.Okay,maybe some character look better than others but Marinette,who's our protagonist has the best design and the best transformation scenes.Originally the show was gonna have a 2D anime style but I think the art style changed for the best.By not making it look like a traditional anime they made it easier for the viewer to recognize its comic book superhero themes and the action also feels more intense because of the CG.Also for a french cartoon the English dub seems to be pretty good so far,yeah some characters sound better than others and it's once again Marinette who got the best voice and for an European cartoon you don't usually expect something like this from English dubbers.Still,I recommend you to first watch it in french if you ever decide to fallow this series.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012)
Overrated movie with bad moral
Okay,so this movies is about this couple who can't have children but one day they discover that a boy grew in their garden and they decide to adopt him.At first this may sound pretty harmless,but trust me,it's not!First let me tell you the thing which bothers me the most at this movies-the parents are awful,they barely interact with Timothy,they won't appreciate him unless he comes out as a winner in the front of their families and bosses and they won't even let him have any friends!I really can't blame this on the actors,hell even the kid tried his best,but this script is so dumb and the worst part is:the parents didn't learn anything from this experience!I'm not kidding,they even tell the adoption center that they didn't really learn from their mistakes but will make new mistakes instead!And still,the adoption center gives them a kid!Seriously people,I do understand that you have a different opinion,but I really don't get what's so heartwarming about this movie,it says that bad parents should be allowed to have kids too as long as they will do different mistakes,not learn from their previous ones!
The Cramp Twins (2001)
4kids can't make cartoons just like they can't dub anime
*Attention,Spoiler Allert!!!*
Okay,so The Cramp Twins is this 2001 cartoon made by the notorious 4kids which made anime fans from all over the world,including the states hate America!So the premise of this show is about two nonidentical twins,Lucian and Wayne,the first one is a bland copy of Lisa Simpson while the other one is destructive and insane.They have two irresponsible parents,the mother is a germophobic freak who cares more about the way the house looks than she does about her kids and the father is a man child who is obsessed with Western culture.The family lives in a small town called Soap City which I think that is called like that because lots of its citizens,including the father end up working at the soap factory who is runed by you guessed,a glutton,evil idiot who treats his employers like crap and has a bitch daughter named Wendy whom he can't say no.Also,the bitch daughter goes to the same school as the twins and has a crush for Wayne for an unknown reason,I'm not kidding,Wayne is not considered to be either good looking or cool,in fact most kids avoid him so there's literally no reason why she would be attracted by him.Lucian doesn't have any friends except for this Daria rip off,Mary and I'm not kidding,a swamp boy who happens to be a midget.The plot constantly has the other characters look like they pollute the world and Lucian is the only one who cares about the swamp. Okay,it's not like this premise sounded as weird as it does today,having Eco messages in a cartoon was a thing back in the 90's and early 2000's but you gotta do them properly!This show portrays everybody who is not an ecologist as either an ass hole or a dumbass.The messages here are confusing,what are "swamp people",are they like natives who used to live in the swamp,cause that would make so much more sense,but no they are just some everyday ecologists who live in swamps,have a bad taste in fashion and lack hygienic senses.And you know what's even worse?Most of the time Wayne wins and he's one of the most unlikeable characters on television,he constantly hurts people just for the sake of it,you know like Bart Simpson...except that Bart Simpsons actually has a personality and has a drop of common sense into his brain.The rest of the characters are simply just early 2000's stereotypes,especially Wendy who is the most clichéd mean girl that I can think off.The show got really weird in the later seasons where they had Wayne being addicted to some kind of candy only to make a portrayal of drug addicts or where their teacher has to offered herself to take of the family while the mother is gone only to kick the twins out from the house and try to seduce the father while not allowing him to take any showers-yeahhh,I can understand why the fans of this show hate the later episodes,but this does not make the earlier episodes look good to me,so don't watch it.
