    This is a bit awkward because I said at the end of my Season 2 video that I'd cover episodes for Season 2, and I am here, saying that for Season 3. Well, there's no delicate way to go about it: I will cover all three seasons, but put a priority on a few episodes of season 3 due to it's relevancy.

      A Very Devil Christmas (or whatever it was called) is the best episode in this season in my opinion.

    • @evie_the_toon
      @evie_the_toon Год назад +2

      I kinda agree with you. Season 1a will always be my favourite, as I didn't know what to expect. It was cute, funny, and awesome! Just like Ed Edd n Eddy. Season 1b, at first I was mixed as Mugman's crazy moments through me off, as I saw him as the Double D of the show, but I ended up okay with it, nobody's perfect, and yeah I really didn't like "Say Cheese" either. I felt like everyone in that episode was turned into a one-dimensional gag, where there was no voice of reason. Season 1c was my least favourite, don't get me wrong, some episodes were great, and felt just like some episodes from season 1a, maybe 'cause for me, Cuphead and Mugman weren't in it as much and their dynamic is just amazing. As much as I love The Devil, there was a tad too much of him for me. The last two episodes felt like tonal whiplash for me. And I now realised thanks to you that Cuphead didn't really grow as much. Mugman honestly was the best part for me, I feel like he grows more than Cuphead even if he (Mugman) doesn't have much to grow from, just like Double D, well maybe he grew in confidence. Though that line about Cuphead would be in hell if he was dead was 1. a bit too dark, 2. a bit harsh for Mugsy to say, and 3. a bit uncalled for as Cuphead hasn't really done anything that's that evil, honestly, Eddy before Big Picture Show would fit hell a bit more than Cuphead. Great, now I wanna see Cuphead go through an Eddy arc😭 I just wanna crossover these two shows😂

    It makes sense to me that Cuphead didn't go through some major character arc where he learns not to be reckless. This is technically all one season of the show. I don't think most shows have their main character go through such a big, character changing arc in just the first season. Plus, this show is a comedy above anything else. It's always going to go for the joke rather than something profound or angsty.

      I agree. Also we can't hold high standards of what we specifically want all the time and enjoy something for what it is. The creators did great more I think alpha is blaming them to much on the fact they don't have much time season to season to tell a deeper story that is not how the show is designed. So it feels like alpha is letting his critic senses over criticise a show that is great for a show the was meant for kids.

    In my opinion, I loved "A Very Devil Christmas," even if I felt Santa at the end cheated the Devil from his train. That's all he wanted: a toy train and Santa didn't deliver on that, but Henchman did. I didn't really care for ep 11-I felt like that ep was a bit lacking, but I think it's how the season treated the Devil and Chalice that made it feel lacking.

      @Alpha Jay Show in my opinion at least, if the Devil hadn't gotten his train one way or another at the end, I would have seen that ep as the worst of season three. Look, that train is the Devil's driving force to get on Santa's nice list, and the Devil's driving force is the reason us-the viewer-can understand his reasoning for wanting to get on the nice list, and as a result, we want to see him get that choo choo train-his driving force-in the end.

In the end the devil is evil and all he wants to take souls. He's mad that the cups keep slipping away and can't collect their souls when he was planning to cheat them the devil was cheating everyone and these two boys and now chalice stopped him. Why are we mad? Also your mad at watching tribute I'm telling you it's Tom and Jerry.

Also she's so well made she is basically cup head and mug man put together and female. She started out a street scammer but meeting cup head and mug man made her a better person I see it as inuyasha he was complaining in a early season how their crew was growing and kagome says "so what?

    In all honesty, I liked the ending of Season 3's premiere. Cuphead's daring impulsiveness is still a part of him, but from what I can remember, he's shown to be less selfish and more willing to help others than in Season 2.
    As for the Devil; yeah, he took a lot of L's. But he was still shown to be a threat. It's just that the cups kept managing to find ways to stay on equal ground with him. Which I thought was cool.
    (But yeah, he got screwed over in the Christmas special. Henchman's the best.)

    All in all, The Cuphead Show has been pretty fun. Good, old-fashioned slapstick in a 1930's setting. The characters are pretty damn funny. The fan service of the games is plentiful. While it isn't quite the best slapstick toon and some episodes fumble a little, I still enjoyed myself with this series for as long as stingy Netflix execs allowed it to go on.

    The Devil practically had a catchphrase in the show, which was “ _I’m_ the Devil!” Multiple times he becomes self-aware that he was out of character with what he was supposed to do, and has to constantly remind himself about it. I think he said it more times in season 3, as he gets flung down the deep end; being constantly made out as this joke of a goofball.
    And that’s really how I felt about The Devil up until the last episode, where I had to remind myself he _is_ the Devil. When he forced Chalice to go through the process of death all over again by watching herself disintegrate until she was nothing but dust and bones. That _really_ reminded me just who the gang was dealing with. Quite a punch.

    For me, the only default of this season was they ridiculed the devil way too much, it feels unbalanced for the character. I mean, one time he's a scarring threat looming over miss Chalice, the other time he's a frinckin cat !!! I mean, you have to decide yourself! Do you want to make this character an intimidating menace or ridiculous beyond reparation??

    Well, it's a bit funny because. I really did wish there was more devil in season 2.
    The Devil was just always the favorite part of the show for me, and I wanted more of him.
    But perhaps using him sparingly in the first two seasons IS what you need. If you use him more, you have to make him loose more. Cause he can never win.
    And it feels like maybe, the writers felt like I did. Devil was their favorite part, so by the end they wrote him in more. But then out of necessity he had to loose all the time cause he's the antagonist and we run into that problem.
    That of course begs the question... What's more important to me? More Devil so I just have more of him. Or less Devil so his fewer appearances can be more effective.
    I have to admit, I just enjoy the devils antics so much that I can't dislike the more screen time, even if it come at a cost. I just find him more entertaining than Cuphead himself.
    Also Stickler honestly made me laugh out loud several times this final season... "Excuse me!" and I just go. "Pfff."
    So yeah.... I just enjoy the devil more than Cuphead himself.

    • @ching-jungyang62
      @ching-jungyang62 Год назад

      I agree with you. In the game, the Devil is a mere existence of true evil that you need to defeat to save the world. So beating the Devil is totaly a joyable moment for the players. The Cuphead Show Devil is really fun to watch, I admit it, but the more you see him the more you realize he is being treated like a punching bag for comical moments. He constantly got foiled by the cup brothers, his henchmen failed to finish his job, he is always held back by Stickler's rules of Hell, and it really baffles me when he start doing good deeds, even giving up his desired toy for Cuphead! (The Devil can do good? COME ON!) He's still a threat in the show, but how can you take him seriously as an enemy that needs to be eliminated for good?
      Do you want an example of how to handle that character well? Bill Cypher from Gravity Falls.
      Bill is the main antagonist of the show. He's a demon, he's evil, he's powerful, he's flamboyant, he also has style and a sense of humor. Although we love to see him on screen, there is always an unsettling feeling we get from this character. We know how dangerous and intimidating he can be, and are aware nothing good will happen when making deals with him. Because Bill made such a strong impression, you'd be surprised he didn't have much screentime in the entire show. When seeing Bill got defeated in the finale, it was really satisfying, you feel how relieved the protagonists are, you're happy to see everything is back in order, and even though you kinda feel empty seeing Bill gone you're still glad how the story ends this way. How should we feel about the Devil? Well, according to the game he didn't end up well. Should he still be destroyed even he has a chance of redemption? Ironically, the Devil can't and shouldn't be redeemed because the show would be over. So what's the point of making an episode telling us the Devil is starting to show he has good in him? I really think the show mistook the point on character development. Stop showing us what a lovable person the bad guy is, give us more reason why we should care about the show's heroes..

  • @FanSeitz
    @FanSeitz Год назад +16

    The final three episodes were the best in the entire series for me, but yes not taking the devil seriously especially with him having the most screen time this season and Cuphead being a static character is where the problems lie for me. The final episode of the season felt like a series finale, which would have be pretty good, if they didn't setup the Casino in the last 30 seconds.

    My favorite episode in cup head season 3 is “A Very Devil Christmas.” Because I can see the Devil softer side of himself that he wanted the choo-choo for Christmas. To earn it he has to do something he never done for millennia. But in the end Santa pretty much cheated out of him. On the long run, the Devil got his choo-choo all thanks to his lovable henchman.

  • @aaaaaaaliieee
    @aaaaaaaliieee Год назад +7

    So, to summarize the seasons we got so far:
    Season 1 is where Cuphead and Mugman go on adventures and get to know people, while Cuphead is in debt with the Devil.
    Season 2 is when jail changes Cuphead and Mugman, for worse I'd say. Cuphead being so negative/inconsiderate and Mugman turning psychotic.
    Season 3 is basically the suffering of the Devil, while he continues to entertain. He struggles in episodes 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 11. And we get to see more Stickler this season, which explains it.

    Season 3 was GREAT! It showed us more on Ms. Chalice's backstory, we saw more of Sally Stageplay as a character, The Devil appeared in more episodes this season than the other 2, and we saw King Dice make a comeback, who appeared in 2 episodes this season instead of just 1.
    Speaking of which, Netflix released a music video of the "Roll the Dice" song from the episode "Down & Out". And I gotta admit: Wayne Brady is a really good singer (as also proved by the number of episodes from Sofia the First that featured Wayne's character (Clover the Rabbit) singing).

    Hopefully the series will be about how Cuphead’s obsession with danger gradually slows down as each episode goes on to the point where he’s tired of it and wants to resort to a normal life as opposed to just stopping completely at the end. At least with that we can still have all the bosses be prevalent in the show. Either that or the plot could just point out he has an addiction to danger and he’s trying his very best to quit after like a couple of seasons, recovering from any form of addiction such as gambling, drugs, or even just the most random things isn’t a linear path in general anyway.

    Personally, I like the way they did the devil and Cuphead.
    The devil doesn't look threatening anymore, I get that, but he becomes more, weirdly, human and funny. It makes me like seeing more episodes of him and it fits because the show is a comedy (even tho you can make it serious time to time).
    And Cuphead, man, I know that people doesn't like him because he doesn't learn his lesson, but that is what I don't want to happen. Listen, I really like characters with his kinda personality, especially kids. I like how they are just doing things because it's fun and it has a lot risks and I get irritated when characters like mugman, tell them that to stop before they get hurt. It's a good dynamic between to characters because it makes feel something. I want Cuphead to get into trouble and mugman having his jaw on the floor. It's fun, satisfying, and makes me yell out," YES, IN YOUR FACE MUGMAN!". Also, it's like Cuphead says,"my not worrying it's the only reason that we have any fun around."
    Anyway, this is my opinion and I am sorry if I hurt anyone with this.
