@crazy sad clown man The fact a lot of fools keep bitching about woke "western" entertainment as if only Commiefornia and the BBC makes movies, TV Shows, Comics, Animation and Videogames.
Another great jerk protagonist is Dan from Dan VS. He literally hates everything except his cat, but he is still a very relatable due to having to deal with problems and annoyances that many people deal with. On top of that, a lot of people around him are jerks too, so when he goes out to get revenge, you can't help but root for him when he has actually been wronged.
ProfCarson one clever trick that Dan vs used was that Dan NEVER started the fight. Destroying the super hero? It was the Hero who broke Dan’s car without apologizing. The basketball league? Broke his car window and ruined his show. Canada? Exists This makes it so that we experience his pain from his perspective, which makes him a lot more likable. Also the things he fights are always either abstract concepts (traffic), something so much out of his league that you watch for the spectacle alone (super hero) or so small and good natured that want to see how he does it simply because no one in their right mind would go against it (animal shelter)
The punching bag antagonist had been done much better in Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown. He's a Momma's boy who cries, complains and is a laughing stock in the villain community but he's an actual genius who can be an actual threat at times.
Jack Spicer was so fun. I loved the dynamic of him being both a punching bag and legit threat. You didn't always know how things would end with him which I think made it more fun. Sometimes the episodes ended where the bad guy legit won which made things super intersting imo
This show is really terrible in a way in which you can't really even watch it in a so bad it's good way. It's just meh. A bad comedy will always be worst than a bad drama. At least you can laugh at hammy acting. I don't find myself laughing at any of these jokes. Mostly because they're so predictable.
Hell, even the worse episodes of TTG have *something* to laugh about, even if it's just about the ego of the writers at making them. This? Not even THAT.
Also, can we talk about the over abundance of gross out humor. Im all for women being able to say gross things and being open about periods, pads, birth control, but can we PLEASE tone it down? Being a girl, it made me extremely uncomfortable, like the stuff I mentioned before was gross and should never be talked about despite them being natural things. Its the same problem with any show that has men constantly talking about their dicks and stuff, but even worse because people arent used to women speaking about it. Edit: Anyway, normalize periods, normalize girls and guys talking about periods, normalize proper sex education about men and women , and its okay for anyone to make gross out humor about body parts and fluids that men and women have, but dont do it in a way that further pushes sterotypes
@@eattheasslikeitsgrass5113 The problem with the gross out humor of this show is that there is no proper set up or wit to it. It's just strewn about randomly and is funny more or less based on luck.

Also jeez, how could you possibly waste Princess Tiana’s role as the red panda on such an uninspired and awful show (Anika Noni Rose is the voice actress for Nut, and she also did Princess Tiana from the Princess and the Frog). >:(
@@dfox6222 her voice acting is NOT good for this Show. Her voice sounds very refined, she should stick to Disney Princess and classy animations, not lowtier janky comedies .
I remember hearing about this show once on Twitter and the context was "finally, an adult cartoon with good animation!" I'm not sure if they were looking at the same clip they posted. I don't care about the animation quality in animation (as weird as that sound) as long as it's not like that one 3D Berserk anime (before it supposedly got fixed in the BluRay version, maybe?) but if you're going to praise a show for the quality of it's animation, it should probably have good animation. Also, writing pro-tip: If you wanna have good reference humor, don't reference it by name. If somebody who wasn't born when this cartoon was made were to watch it when they're twenty, they'd have to Google Pokemon GO or Keanu Reeves and they still won't find it funny because they had to work to get the joke. (This is basically how I feel whenever I watch old episodes of The Simpsons. Mostly with Krusty's referential humor.) But doing something like... Say one of the characters picks a ball up and holds it up like Ash Ketchum holding out a Pokeball. You don't have to get the reference to enjoy that scene. It just adds to the enjoyment if you do. (Like again with The Simpsons. They reference movies a lot by copying the scenes extremely accurately. I don't have to have watched Psycho to enjoy a Psycho reference.)
True, The simpsons reference jokes work best when you can laugh even when you don't know what they were referencing. Not to mention the show had substance to it and likeable flawed characters unlike Twitter: the cartoon.
I think there's another difference between this and MegasXLR. MegasXLR comes off as a loving ribbing of what it's parodying, someone who loves the genre and knows its flaws. This comes off as snide mockery of the genre it's parodying, someone who looks at the surface and doesn't care for it.

Yeah this show is guilty of what I like to call _machinegun humor_ Basically just load up as many referential jokes as you can in one episode and just empty it all out to see what sticks. And like a machinegun, it's not very accurate and it tends to do more scratches than hit a bullseye. You might get a chuckle here and there, but the rest are guaranteed to fly way over everyone's heads.

My first impression of the show's central characters was they had terrible dialogue and came across as very unlikeable. It had the feeling of a bad webcomic where the author is up their own ass about how clever their cynical one-liners are, while forgetting to make the characters charming or interesting.
Every so often I wonder if the quality of cartoons has actually gone down or if it’s like the 90’s kids, but then I see garbage like this and realize TV is dead.
@@spacekitty8926 There’s obviously still decent shows, just the overall quality has diminished. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be an example of a good modern show. It doesn’t help all of the really good shows of the last decade like Gumball, Adventure Time, Star vs the Forces of Evil, etc. have ended without anything to fill the void

I had a Magical Girl parody idea a while ago and when i heard about this show i said "Oh no, theyre gonna beat me to all the good jokes" but haha no, i still have a chance.
What the Precure series would be if all the main characters were super unlikable... and in their 20s. Only reason I say that since the series did start off with two main characters being magical girls before it turned into a group of 3, 4, 5 or 6 girls.
Not gonna lie, when I clicked on this I expected complaining about “da SJWs” like everyone else does when it comes to this show, so it was a nice surprise that the video was full of actually good criticism. I agree, the unlikeable characters and bad pop culture and internet jokes completely ruin an interesting premise (adults who have to juggle real world and magical girl problems).
Apparently Syfy had an anime block which actually was the first place to air the English dub of Gurren Lagann. You know, at least it isn’t trying to ape Family Guy and South Park, but then again we already have shows like Primal, Castlevania, Bojack Horseman, Moral Orel, Boondocks, Black Dynamite, Tuca and Bertie, Camp Camp, Red vs Blue, Seis Manos, Harley Quinn, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Major Lazer. Also I’d be down for an action show that looks like Family Guy or Brickleberry but does over the top action to compensate with the character design.
Yeah Syfy used to air anime Monday nights around 11pm-1am on a block called Animonday. It also aired Gundam 00, Rave Master, Monster, and occasionally movies. It was the only reason to watch syfy when they weren't showing repeats of shows or low budget monster flicks in lates 2000s.
Oi question sense you listed it. I heard everyone saying tuca and Bertie was pretty good so I decided to give it a watch and honestly I don’t get it it’s not bad but eh. What do you like about it.
One thing that should have been mentioned is that Megas XLR is clearly made by persons who love and understand mecha anime, and Japanese anime in general. Hell, they had Steve Blum and Wendee Lee voice allies when the two usually voice opponents. Also, I was honestly expecting an image of Netflix She-Ra to show up, not The Last Jedi.
How I felt seeing the trailer: Poor parody clearly not aimed at me, at least it's not borrowing a pre-established IP, I won't watch nor will I condemn. Watches video: Glad I'm not the only one who agreed to an extent.
Okay, I'll admit that 'Rise of the TMNT' clip was friggin' awesome. Was initially put off by how drastically they changed the titular characters and April (who should *always* be a redhead).
I find Kung Fu Hustle more entertaining then magical girl friendship Squad. Before anybody criticizes my comment, yes I know Kung Fu Hustle is not an animated movie "but" that doesn't mean it couldn't be one.
I could probably writer a better magical girl story than them, I even have some ideas but it’s not enough to make a pilot chapter as I lack many crucial points such as themes and some of the characters and the plot is vague at best but if I was given 5 years I could probably make something better than this!
@Atelier God I tend to use a sort of magical girl format for the stories I tell my younger sister. The characters are all loosely based on people I know in real life (plus some of our favourite games and shows, Miraculous Ladybug and the Persona series being two of the greatest influences). Would you like to hear more about them?
End of the f***ing world: a heartwarming story about a psychopathic teen who falls in love with the girl who he was planning on killing Doom Patrol: has flesh eating killer butts I choose Doom Patrol
Love the NSR references, I've fallen in love with that game recently. Is the portrait of Joker at the end a partial reference as well? Because Zuke's Japanese voice also voices Joker.
Estelle.. What..? Great, she went from magical gem lesbian girl superheroine Garnet to Tumblr using Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsunko ripoff. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ And not the girl who voiced of Princess Tiana
Another good example of a protag not fitting the role of a hero would be Travis Touchdown. Eventually, Travis grows from a person who kills for kicks into a person realizing that what he does has no purpose and needs to rise up in a world where there are "No More Heroes."

We may be old but we had some good cartoons growing up.
@@whathanul5798 oh most definitely. Like Samurai Jack, the 2003 Clone Wars series, the Spectacular Spider-Man, etc
That’s a nostalgia trip right there
So do I.
I feel like Bee and Puppycat does a better job of the Millennial Magical Girl show, especially since both of the protags have been selfish at times
Agreed. Bee is a far better protagonist.
They're millenials written by boomers.
Boomers after a day of tumblr and reddit browsing.
Actually chances are good that they're written by actual millennials.
I Am surprised to see you here Skull, but yeah you are right :v
nah more like Millenials written Gen X
billy...these are millenials... (poorly) doing self referencial humor.
like, shit on baby boomers all you want but, if the simpsons and alike prove something is that at least baby boomers can mock themselves AND be funny a the same time
this series comes as desperate and pathetic... like the embodiment of a socially-conscicious t

I love your Persona 5 aesthetic in your videos I got hooked on your CVIT does not understand P5 and very shortly you have become my favorite commentary channel on the site
@@Mangakamen
Same here, dude! You are actually nuanced in your takes and opinions. And the edits make me actually anticipate your videos.
Great video, if you do take video suggestions, would you do a Persona comparison between P3, P4, and P5 and their virtues and vices? Oh, and would there be a RWBY Volume 8 review in the future?
I would rather have a new bad thing instead of a bad show from a pre existing show
I find myself agreeing with you
The blue-haired woman looks exactly like how an anti-feminist would draw a feminist strawman; except the glasses are no shaped like cat's eyes.
The blue haired woman looks like that fourth Powerpuff Girl Bliss.
@@princesstt9778 nah it looks for like an attempt to not make a ‘woke’ artwork if you know what I mean
Yeah, Daisy (Red)’s design isn’t bad but the blue haired girl’s design is a tragedy. It looks like she has wad of blue gum for hair, at least add some detail in the hair!
@@pearldab7781 Oddly enough, I actually dislike Red's design more. I'm all for an androgynous girl or a skinny boy, but don't draw boob lines on a male character design and then tell me it's now a girl.
But that’s how Tumblr/Twitter draws their characters except she doesn’t look like a genderless blob.
This looks like a tumblirite's humor comic wetdream come to life. But hey, it's not sucking off the life essence of another IP.

Is this his favourite?

Nah mate, send some good ol' fashion cap morgan
@@jeremyhearne eh. Captain Morgan is fine, but it doesn't beat Kraken rum by a long shot
My first impression of the show's central characters was they had terrible dialogue and came across as very unlikeable. It had the feeling of a bad webcomic where the author is up their own ass about how clever their cynical one-liners are, while forgetting to make the characters charming or interesting.
The villain looks like he stepped out of Milk Chan forever. What a shame the character has to be in this show.
It’s not a Kamen video without Yusuke’s: “that was truly cringe-whorthy”

Every so often I wonder if the quality of cartoons has actually gone down or if it’s like the 90’s kids, but then I see garbage like this and realize TV is dead.
If you really think that, then I tecommend kipo, I dunno about adult cartoons tho...
@@spacekitty8926 There’s obviously still decent shows, just the overall quality has diminished. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be an example of a good modern show. It doesn’t help all of the really good shows of the last decade like Gumball, Adventure Time, Star vs the Forces of Evil, etc. have ended without anything to fill the void
@@Le-cp9tr It may depend on how you see it, but I know where you're getting at.

Why does this show exist? I'd rather watch Fred and Ugandan Knuckles host a Talk Show
Special guest featuring the annoying orange from the old youtube series the annoying orange
@@HandheldGamer1991 *Seto Kaiba scream*
They tried to be original. This is the sad result. Kudos to them but... I take back the kudos.
Ugandan Knuckles had its moments. Perfect Cell comedy bits or Moonshine Animations bits utilizing idea of it were actually pretty darn fun. Even VR chat was somehow chucklesome at times.
aaaand.... I have no idea who Fred is @_@
Check European and Russian animation like the works of the french René Laloux, Soviet Era animation and Eastern European animation like the works of the Czech director Jirí Barta like *"Toys in the Attic"*
This show feels like it was something made to be pitched to adult swim, but adult swim didn't even want this garbage.
I had a Magical Girl parody idea a while ago and when i heard about this show i said "Oh no, theyre gonna beat me to all the good jokes" but haha no, i still have a chance.
You still working on that novel?
I have an idea for that too
What the Precure series would be if all the main characters were super unlikable... and in their 20s.
Only reason I say that since the series did start off with two main characters being magical girls before it turned into a group of 3, 4, 5 or 6 girls.
Thank you for the Rise of the TMNT clip.
I love that show because both nostalgia and it’s a good show.

Not gonna lie, when I clicked on this I expected complaining about “da SJWs” like everyone else does when it comes to this show, so it was a nice surprise that the video was full of actually good criticism. I agree, the unlikeable characters and bad pop culture and internet jokes completely ruin an interesting premise (adults who have to juggle real world and magical girl problems).
Apparently Syfy had an anime block which actually was the first place to air the English dub of Gurren Lagann.
You know, at least it isn’t trying to ape Family Guy and South Park, but then again we already have shows like Primal, Castlevania, Bojack Horseman, Moral Orel, Boondocks, Black Dynamite, Tuca and Bertie, Camp Camp, Red vs Blue, Seis Manos, Harley Quinn, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Major Lazer.
Also I’d be down for an action show that looks like Family Guy or Brickleberry but does over the top action to compensate with the character design.
Yeah Syfy used to air anime Monday nights around 11pm-1am on a block called Animonday. It also aired Gundam 00, Rave Master, Monster, and occasionally movies. It was the only reason to watch syfy when they weren't showing repeats of shows or low budget monster flicks in lates 2000s.
Oi question sense you listed it. I heard everyone saying tuca and Bertie was pretty good so I decided to give it a watch and honestly I don’t get it it’s not bad but eh. What do you like about it.
@@theblackoutexplorer2658 From what I have seen, it does work better if you're female
I hear that No Straight Road’s music in the background 😶
I like the fact that you’re using music from No Straight Roads. That game deserves more attention.
Watch Panty and Stocking instead guys. It’s a similar kind of show, but much *better.*
Not related but was rewatching a Western Magical Girl show that was pretty good and would reccomend-W.I.T.C.H.
I sorta just realized how smart Saitama was when he used his tie as a way to grab onto the lobster’s eye.
One thing that should have been mentioned is that Megas XLR is clearly made by persons who love and understand mecha anime, and Japanese anime in general. Hell, they had Steve Blum and Wendee Lee voice allies when the two usually voice opponents. Also, I was honestly expecting an image of Netflix She-Ra to show up, not The Last Jedi.
oh wow i didn't know High Guardian Spice had a twin abortion
Who knew that Netflix was on crack
Do you know who else I'm PRETTY SURE is a crackhead these days? MrEnter (No offense if you still like the guy I've just lost all respect for him)
What happened to Mr. Enter?
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin He came out as an anti masker.
@@GatorRay so? If he's not wearing a mask and other people are wearing ones around him, I'd say he's fine.
Comparing Megas Xlr to Magical Girl Friendship Squad
is like comparing Mona Lisa to a trash can
Not even thirty seconds in and I hear the quote "I hate the moon". Subbed
The thumbnail: 10 minutes into syfy and chill and she gives you this look
It took me way too long to realize that the NSR OST playing was coming from your video and not my Spotify playlist.
How I felt seeing the trailer: Poor parody clearly not aimed at me, at least it's not borrowing a pre-established IP, I won't watch nor will I condemn.
Watches video: Glad I'm not the only one who agreed to an extent.
Mega XLR my forgotten yet great childhood. I'm happy to see it again in present day!
Legit no one in my friend group talked about it.
This show looks like Word Girl a little bit.
IKR??
Wordgirl was fun.
I hate how accurate this comparison is. Thing is, Word Girl was parodying campy superhero shows and did it really well.
You win just for that Mooninite clip. XD Seriously, I'm laughing so hard I can't continue. It made me go back and read those messages in his voice.
The art of this show makes me think of word girl
Magical Girl FriendShip Is BEING BANNED
No I love it ❤ don't ban it
“WELL F*CK!!”
The greatest opener in RUclips history…
Okay, I'll admit that 'Rise of the TMNT' clip was friggin' awesome. Was initially put off by how drastically they changed the titular characters and April (who should *always* be a redhead).
Yo I fuck with the no straight road music in the background
EYO NSR GANG
Hmmm that background music is dj subatomic supernova's theme.
I find Kung Fu Hustle more entertaining then magical girl friendship Squad.
Before anybody criticizes my comment, yes I know Kung Fu Hustle is not an animated movie "but" that doesn't mean it couldn't be one.
Imagine taking Panty and Stocking and making it not a good parody, that’s this show
I recognize the background music as of a special DJ out from the galaxy.
God, I wanna cleanse my palette with Pretty Cure
Don't think I don't hear that NSR Soundtrack. Nice touch.
John wick 3 came out last year
Also, their references were about the first movie
Topic aside, is that "vs. DJ Subatomic Supernova" on the background? Nice!
I could probably writer a better magical girl story than them, I even have some ideas but it’s not enough to make a pilot chapter as I lack many crucial points such as themes and some of the characters and the plot is vague at best but if I was given 5 years I could probably make something better than this!
@brandon roberts heck I’m writing up the ideas I have right now
@Atelier God I tend to use a sort of magical girl format for the stories I tell my younger sister.
The characters are all loosely based on people I know in real life (plus some of our favourite games and shows, Miraculous Ladybug and the Persona series being two of the greatest influences).
Would you like to hear more about them?
@@AtelierGod Looking forward to it, also cute pfp, who's the character and artist? 🙂
@@autobotstarscream765 the character is Black harpy from Monster girl encyclopedia and the artist is most likely Kenkou Cross.
@@CammyFrostbite14 sure I would like to hear it if nothing else to fuel my intellectual curiosity.
Well to be fair, as a New Yorker I can confirm we do not give a shit
I have honestly, never even heard of this show before now.
Me neither tbh, and for good reason.
I watched Syfy since I was young but I have to admit, the contents there are insane
End of the f***ing world: a heartwarming story about a psychopathic teen who falls in love with the girl who he was planning on killing
Doom Patrol: has flesh eating killer butts
I choose Doom Patrol
the trick to making a good character isn't trying to make it unique, the trick is making a good character
Thank you for making me realize... I grew up into Coop... flannel shirt and all. Though I'm not that selfish.... I'd hope.
You bring up Megas XLR and I'm sold. You have done me a great service
Won't lie, I liked the Nsr music in the back ground. Weird match for the show you're talking about, but the music itself is nice.
Yes this is the worst show ever and it’s funny that the same company who made cuties is the same company who made this is kind of funny
Say sike
I don't think Netflix made either of these,i think they just have it on their platform.
@@zack-ronald259 It was some random French studio that made Cuties
I know nothing of this show though.
They were made by two different studio.
@@zack-ronald259
Well thank god for that. Thought Netflix made that shit

"And for that let's talk about Megas XLR'
And like that I instantly am paying attention.
Love the NSR references, I've fallen in love with that game recently. Is the portrait of Joker at the end a partial reference as well? Because Zuke's Japanese voice also voices Joker.
1:04 My god, is that the voice of Amaryllis from High Guardian Spice?!
Oh, I wish it was. It's actually Anna Akana, the voice of Sasha Waybright from Amphibia.
@@BaysideParkAnd Gloria Sato of Big City Greens.
Also, odd fact: this show had the Origins pilots that somehow had actors such as Anika Noni Noise and even ESTELLE involved.
Estelle, why? Why did you betray us for this crap? Was the paycheck you got even worth it?
Estelle.. What..? Great, she went from magical gem lesbian girl superheroine Garnet to Tumblr using Sailor Moon/Usagi Tsunko ripoff. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ And not the girl who voiced of Princess Tiana
@@powerpuffmoonlight Goddammit, why must some of the better voice actors do this?
Your background music sounds like from no straight roads game
Another good example of a protag not fitting the role of a hero would be Travis Touchdown. Eventually, Travis grows from a person who kills for kicks into a person realizing that what he does has no purpose and needs to rise up in a world where there are "No More Heroes."
“Coop has more seasons under his massive belt”

4:04, Let's not forget the original line was improvised when a taxi drove into camera interrupting a scene in "Midnight Cowboy".
