High Seas Adventure was definitely the best episode in the whole series by a long shot. So many great references, and a super epic adventure. Also, I think season 2 deserves more credit. Sure, it may have cliche Cuphead tropes, but it was also Mugman’s time to shine, and it has the most boss references.
Cala Maria in the show: Has great pride in herself when it comes to being known as the greatest sea monster in the ocean. Cala Maria in the game: Gets her butt kicked so badly to the point of being reduced to a floating head by two cup guys on miniature airplanes.
It's confirmed that's not the case already. The episodes they're working on have plots that could be done in the first two seasons (at least the revealed ones).
The line from Rat’s All, Folks, “What will it be, your precious cottage, or your precious cups?” is weirdly one of the most heartwarming lines throughout the entire show in my opinion. It really shows how much Elder Kettle views the boys as his sons/grandsons, even if likely not biologically related to them. Another good line of dialogue that really got me to feel was Cuphead’s shellshocked, “M-Mugman?” at the very end of The Devil’s Pitchfork. That one word, combined with how it bleeds right into the beginning of season three with Mugman’s name being all Cuphead can bring himself to say, really shows how much he cares about Mugman. I think I just like when a goofy show like this can really show its heart. I love seeing the brothers act like brothers and not just friends. I’m probably a bit biased though since Cups and Mugs sort of remind me of my older brothers when we were kids. Even though I disagree with some of your rankings, I’m so glad that you made this video. Really fueling my Cuphead hyperfixation right now
Mugman is the best character ever, although I don't understand something. In season 2 Mugman was gradually losing his mind getting more and more unhinged as if the creators were working towards something but in Season 3, he completely cooled down only occasionally losing his temper. WHAT HAPPENED THERE?
“The I scream man” is my favorite episode of the show. Kinda sad to see it so low, but understandable. I just loved all the animation in it, especially Mugman’s absolutely delightful facial expressions. And let’s be honest we’ve all been in a situation like this, where we are trying to relax, someone is annoying us, so we get a little angry and frustrate them back. Feels horrible, but at least I wasn’t chased with an ice cream truck and a lunatic that wanted me to freeze in hell.
Its honestly interesting to see how different your and Finn's perspectives on humanizing the Devil are, and how the episodes revolving around that like Roadkill or A Very Devil Christmas make it weaker to you but stronger to Finn.
Here's the thing, I actually liked A Very Devil Christmas; to me it was great. It's not like High Sea Adventure or Roll the Dice or Dangerous Mugman (to me), but it's still great.
I have a theory as to why there isn’t a Season 4. Because the show takes place before the game. Basically Cuphead runs to the casino to gamble just like in the Season 3 Finale, and Mugman goes to to stop him. Meanwhile, Chalice is kidnapped and is put in the mausoleums, just like in the game. Meanwhile at the casino, the cups get carried away and gamble. Of course, the devil knowing how much he hates them, he purposely makes them roll snake eyes, leading them to their next adventure: the video game.
Just wanted to mention one other *awesome* aspect of King Dice that wasn't brought up, is the perfect casting choice for his voice. The fact that they got Wayne Brady, the host of the the game show "Let's Make a Deal," is both hilarious and amazing to me! **chef's kiss** 🤣🤩
The devil doesn't torture mugman when he's captured because he isn't actually able to. Mugman owes him nothing and the devil had no justification to take him for his normal devil stuff, he did it for personal reasons. All he can really do is hold him in hell, going any further than that would probably be breaking his rules since he has no right over Mugman's soul. I'm pretty sure it was stated in the episode that he was already stretching it by kidnapping him to begin with.
7:30 I disagree. You have to show that the characters have chemistry so that it is heartbreaking when Chalice has to betray the boys. That is why they have fun together at the beginning. The idea was they had the perfect day but suddenly it turned dark.
The King Dice episodes will always be my favorites. If we ever get that fourth season, I hope we get more King Dice, like his backstory or how he first met the Devil.
I have theory that in the devils revenge he can't tourture mugman because hes not dead and doesn't control his soul. Like the devil could kill everyone on the island but prefers to trick them. Same thing with mugman. Also screaming guy best character
I personally think that in roadkill they should’ve made elder kettle think the devils a goat instead of a cat wouldn’t safe the episode but It would at least help it a little bit.
(Warning: Opinion ahead) In my opinion,here is my rank on the episodes: *Worst* 3° - In Charm's Way - It felt (for me) like they were hitting a "Chalice uses charms to get stuff" note and it felt like those were her two traits,i mean,compared to the first episode,i understood more of Cuphead and Mugman were (More than simply "Cuphead is impulsive" and "Mugman is unlucky" traits) on a scene where they didn't talk more than i understood about Ms. Chalice,besides,who uses charm (something that for some people doesn't work) rather than flipping ghost powers!? 2° - Piano Lesson - Ok,it may be bias to Mugman,but i hated how he was used,i mean, he was being a brat (and not in the good way),but not just him,nobody was done right,the puns were dry,the plot doesn't work (in my opinion) and the only good thing i liked was they used a NPC rather than a boss 1°- HANDLE WITH CARE! - Ok,now imagine "Piano Lesson",but (somehow) worse, how? Simply: Make Cuphead the sole likeable character in the story and make him suffer, even tho he was the sole character to try to fix the problem,make Mugman a brat crying for a handle and all of the other characters make all other characters only make the problem worse (this episode was the only one to make me feel bad for Cuphead) - also the jokes were very bad and didn't work at all (including the dress joke) *Best* 3°- Dead Broke - The first (and maybe only) episode that i liked Chalice, because charm was not the whole point of the story and the story was awesome,not to mention how the villains worked 2° - The I Scream Man - This is how you make Mugman a brat - even tho he was in the wrong,it was that it was not only fun,it went gradually (yet fast) to him to hate the ice cream man,also,this shows how much potential Mugman has and how truly dangerous he is, also i loved how even the ice cream man was goofy even if Mugman was bout to try to kill him 1°- Sweater off dead - Mugman finally gets the spotlight, Cuphead was very funny and stupid, the Devil is... Come on,it's the Devil! There is no bad Devil episode (it is the laws of physics),not to mention how fun was to watch,with no unlikable characters what so ever (Once again, this is my opinion,if you hate it or disagree,then there's no problem with it)
@@mordecai8841 i felt like no matter what he did to fix the problem, Mugman was being a brat to him,even if Cuphead was trying to actually fix something that (in Mugman's view) he broke it, also it felt more like Mugman was the one who broke his handle rather than Cuphead
Funny story i weared a cuphead shirt that has cuphead with dont deal with the devil so when i went to my sisters party some kid said "Oh thats from the cupman show right my brother loves cupman" lol more people know the show then the game and he said "cupman"
Not gonna lie Special Delivery was my favorite purely because of how great the trio dynamic was. It felt like Chalice fit into the family perfectly instead of being any better or worse than the brothers, while still showing off all their personality. The trio are my favorite characters in the whole show so it catapulted into my number one choice.
Something that the series made me wonder: How did Cuphead, Mugman and Elder Kettle got out of jail in "Lost in the Woods" since they got arrested in "Say Cheese!"?
I might have to do my own list of Cuphead one day as it is SURPRISINGLY different from this one (there are only like 2 or 3 episodes I can say I didn't care about). That said... I am curious to see what a ranking of "The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse" series would be like. I don't know if Mickey Mouse has ever been covered on this channel, but both the RUclips shorts and the Disney+ episodes are a HIGH recommendation from me, ESPECIALLY if you like Cuphead (worth noting that Paul Rudish was heavily involved in both series)
As a huge fan of this show, I can confirm that Lost in The Woods is the worst episode of the show AND one of the most hated in the fanbase. I swear it felt like an episode from Spongebob Season 6.
It felt like a season 7 episode in SpongeBob which was a pal for Gary. Both episodes are annoying, stupid and unfunny. Season 6 episodes that fit would probably be the splinter, boating buddies or the card.
You are crazy with your ranking of the I scream man. That was one of the funniest episodes of the whole show. Also Answer the door was one of my least favorite episodes.
Season 1 is probably Mugman cos of how he saved cuphead and all those souls by making the devil destroy soul ball Season 2 would be probably mugman again because he helped Captain Brineybeard make up with Cala Maria and… other stuff. Season 3 would be cuphead cos he saved mugman and all those 999,999,999 souls that the devil had taken, plus he saved him and his loved ones by winning rock paper scissors easily against the devil.
I didn’t expect a full ranking but great job man! I know this may sound dumb but what’s your verdict for the Cuphead Show and how you give out 0/10? The Cuphead show to me deserves more attention, it has a beautiful animation, great comedy, great characters and it’s not only a faithful homage to the 30s cartoons but for the game Easily one of the best modern cartoons to me 😁
@@raprips A little fun fact: the creators wanted the newer generation to see the rubberhose artstyle more often because when the brothers were younger, they used to watch the 1930s toon and silly symphonies so they were awed and they went to Studio MDHR and they accepted. I actually wanted to replicate this artstyle with any projects I made a while back because I was in awe of the style like I never saw before
Personally Handle with care! is my favorite because this is the episode where Elder Kettle Tells his childhood. Dirt Nap was also my favorite because that when Cuphead, Mugman, and Elder Kettle express thier love for each other. And lastly I love the devil's revenge because I just loved the concernedness of Elder Kettle when Cuphead was sad even though he didn't what was going on. I love those episodes because I love the grandfatherly love that Elder Kettle had for Cuphead and Mugman.
when she possessed elder kettle, it still worked so I don't think that's the case. it's more because dancing is her passion, so it gets people swayed very easily
My favorite episodes are probably the two parter of sweater of dead and sweater luck next time and why does cuphead’s voice sound so different at 26:29
Honestly, In my opinion the Lost in the Woods episode of Cuphead was primarily very normal to me. It goes on that fact in the normal game that, Cuphead is the person that ruined Mugmans life, and had to sell his soul to the devil, too. It goes about his personality (annoying and reckless sometimes). I personally don't mind when they do this. (edit) I know it's not the ENJOYABLE part of the Cuphead games, but it does play a good role in the development for him in later episodes.
I don’t know if you remember, but a while ago when you reviewed that Netflix cartoon with the trans main character, you talked about the trope with the intimidating enemy having a cutesy design (Pugsly I believe). I commented on that video about your thoughts on the trope, and after your response, I’ve been over thinking about it. I overthink about a lot of stuff you say about modern animation tropes, and it results in me getting annoyed and developing what could be close to “Stan” tendencies. I would want the people responsible to stop all of their planned work just for you to have a brighter look on modern animation. Something about your Oc and your voice just hypnotized me for some reason I can’t understand. I have been improving, and I felt that leaving a public piece of writing like this would help me better understand that. Thanks for the video.
Strongly disagree at most part of this list ngl. And I disagree at the "game-feel" part, I actually love that the show has some episodes that don't feel like the game.
Cuphead always his fair share of both bad and good episodes Also Can you Please talk about an amazing SFM called Emesis Blue One of the greatest sfms to ever exist
You seem to dislike the ones where the cups are more naughty. I don't mind I expect Cuphead to be annoying. Mugman is generally the sensible one. True but sensible people aren't sensible every second of every day. Going against a stereotype can add depth.
I honestly thought Bowl boy and ice cream man we're the same person I thought the big reveal at the end was that the ice cream person would reveal that he was bowl boy the whole time and the episode ended and I was like wait where was The Twist
Man, you just HATE the things you put in at the start of the video, I love I scream man, and also, I like sweet temptations and you should’ve talked about the thing about cuphead In don’t answer the door, when he said about “try to take our souls, turn into monsters, eat us, or shoot bullets out of there fingertips”.
My personal ranking: 1) A Very Devil Christmas 2) Release The Demons 3) Ghost’s Ain’t Real 4) Sweater Luck Next Time 5) A High Seas Adventure 6) The Devil And Ms Chalice 7) Sweater Off Dead 8) The I Scream Man 9) Dead Broke 10) Carn-Evil 11) Sweet Temptation 12) The Devil’s Revenge 13) Rat’s All, Folks 14) Another Brother 15) Roll The Dice 16) Jailbroken 17) The Devil’s Pitchfork 18) Holiday Tree-dition 19) Dangerous Mugman 20) Ribby & Croaks 21) Handle With Care 22) Dance With Danger 23) Baby Bottle 24) Dirt Nap 25) Down & Out 26) Don’t Answer The Door 27) Piano Lessons 28) Root Packed 29) In Charm’s Way 30) Charmed And Dangerous 31) Roadkill 32) Cupstaged 33) Special Delivery 34) Joyride 35) Say Cheese 36) Lost In The Woods
I actually quite enjoyed the I Scream Man, but I do see the point of Mugman and Cuphead working better as a duo. I think Mugman's really funny when he gets annoyed though, especially the "that's a good one" scene which makes me cackle
"The christmas special is in the bottom third" The Christmas special that takes a very creative and original take on Satan Clause and yet a genuine message is between the WORST? Like, really: when a Christmas special/movie FORCES that "It's Christmas, it's all about the meaning and not the stuff" they... are clearly reading a script: but, the fact that the DEVIL, yes number 1 on the naughty list, wants to experience Christmas the right way for once and actually learns how to ("why not use magic to have your gift?" "It's not the same thing when you recieve it" - "It's hard being good all the time" "I KNOW!") it's very convincing because it comes from a guy that shouldn't understand such things. The real only downside this episode deserves is purely in the Italian dubbing: in Italy, the Devil has a first and last name "Satanasso Pigliatutto" (Devil Take-it-all), but the guys doing the Italian dub needs to be fired cause they are TERRIBLE and missing this chance was one of the thousand of proofs. You make some reasonable points, true, but come on: you can excuse those reasons with such originality. I mean... have you SEE that cool, terrifying and badass Santa werewolf-like transformation!?
When I look at the series, I do like the Cuphead show as a whole. It is entertaining and carries the feel of the game, in particular with the bosses/villain episodes. But I've noticed that Season 2 seems to have the best episodes and the worst episodes. The best episodes are easily any episodes with the bosses, so A High Seas Adventure!, Sweet Temptation, and Rats All, Folks! for the obvious reason that the bosses are some of the absolute best characters in the series. The worst episodes are exactly what you listed, Say Cheese, Lost in the Woods, etc. I was wondering why this was, and I feel like I might know why this is the case. Most of the episodes in the season seem to have the dialogue carried or the plot started by the brothers constantly fighting. Now, I know brothers often fight, I have a younger brother myself. But I feel like it says something when out of thirteen episodes, EIGHT of the episodes have this problem. (To be clear, that list is as follows: Jailbroken, A High Seas Adventure!, Another Brother, Sweet Temptation, Piano Lesson, Dead Broke, Say Cheese, and Lost in the Woods. I could count Charmed & Dangerous as well for the first conversation between Cuphead and Mugman, but the fighting isn't THAT rampant or "necessary" to be in that episode.) Now, that's not to say those episodes aren't bad, in fact, Sweet Temptation is better because of that fight showing Cuphead CAN have self-control. I just mean that it's a bit of a problem if over half of the episodes have the simple solution of arguing between specifically the main two characters to progress the story or add dialogue, because I feel it tends to get repetitive very quickly. Same goes for Season 3 involving the Devil being more of a punching bag than a threatening villain, but I didn't notice that as much and the constant arguing in Season 2 and how it was far less in Season 3. That said, it's still a good season and show, it's just a running problem I noticed in that season in what is otherwise a great show.
cuphead went from my favorite character in season 1, because hes hilarious, my 2nd LEAST favorite character in season 2, because hes a total ahole in that season, and somewhere of a meh character in season 3. he got better in season 3, but not season 1 level good. Stickler will always be the worst character, if he didnt exist, cuphead would be the wost character in season 2.
I BELIEVE you should rank all the episodes of... ONE PIECE. And then you have to update the ranking when the show finishes in 6.5 years (the Managa is supposed to finish in 4 and the show is 2.5 behind)
16:42 *sees the text fading in* Surprised you didn't go with... urm... the 'other' outcome some people on the Internet would come to for scenarios like this. I hope I don't need to say it. It would be humiliating and shameful of me.
I do have some questions coming from "Handle With Care" Guys, doesn't it hurt... Isn't that like breaking a bone... What does the handle even do anyway, I see it mostly used AGAINST them, why is breaking it off a problem, now nobody can grab you by the handle when your trying not to die

Given how Season 3 ended, if we get more seasons, I like to imagine we could get an adaptation of the game proper.
It's confirmed that's not the case already. The episodes they're working on have plots that could be done in the first two seasons (at least the revealed ones).
The line from Rat’s All, Folks, “What will it be, your precious cottage, or your precious cups?” is weirdly one of the most heartwarming lines throughout the entire show in my opinion.

I absolutely agree
maybe being in jail at the start of season 2 corrupted mugman like he said it would?
and cuphead saving him from the devil got his patience back?
Mugman just got so mad he went numb, don't worry he's fine, that rage is probably still there. Deep down. Refusing to be accepted. (Joke)
Season 3 could have happened before season 2 maybe?
Edit: TIMELINES ARE SO D@MN CONFUSING TO ME ;-;

I know this may sound dumb but what’s your verdict for the Cuphead Show and how you give out 0/10?
The Cuphead show to me deserves more attention, it has a beautiful animation, great comedy, great characters and it’s not only a faithful homage to the 30s cartoons but for the game
Easily one of the best modern cartoons to me 😁
@@raprips A little fun fact: the creators wanted the newer generation to see the rubberhose artstyle more often because when the brothers were younger, they used to watch the 1930s toon and silly symphonies so they were awed and they went to Studio MDHR and they accepted.
I actually wanted to replicate this artstyle with any projects I made a while back because I was in awe of the style like I never saw before
@ really? Huh, shows their passion for the medium. Neat stuff :)
@raprips Yeah, most kids back in the 80s would watch tv series that's popular but the brother would watch reruns on tapes
Personally Handle with care! is my favorite because this is the episode where Elder Kettle Tells his childhood. Dirt Nap was also my favorite because that when Cuphead, Mugman, and Elder Kettle express thier love for each other. And lastly I love the devil's revenge because I just loved the concernedness of Elder Kettle when Cuphead was sad even though he didn't what was going on. I love those episodes because I love the grandfatherly love that Elder Kettle had for Cuphead and Mugman.
My favorite episode is: “Down and out” because king dice sings so well-
I mean he is voiced by Wayne Brady soooo…
Sad how low the I scream man placed
Personally my favorite episode of the show, Mugman and the Ice cream man were just hilarious
I enjoyed the Baroness, but I agree her motivations were a bit too convoluted.
28:10 Chalice's dancing works because she is a cute girl. She uses her adorableness to manipulate people.
when she possessed elder kettle, it still worked so I don't think that's the case. it's more because dancing is her passion, so it gets people swayed very easily
My favorite episodes are probably the two parter of sweater of dead and sweater luck next time and why does cuphead’s voice sound so different at 26:29
Honestly, In my opinion the Lost in the Woods episode of Cuphead was primarily very normal to me.
It goes on that fact in the normal game that, Cuphead is the person that ruined Mugmans life, and had to sell his soul to the devil, too. It goes about his personality (annoying and reckless sometimes). I personally don't mind when they do this. (edit) I know it's not the ENJOYABLE part of the Cuphead games, but it does play a good role in the development for him in later episodes.
I don’t know if you remember, but a while ago when you reviewed that Netflix cartoon with the trans main character, you talked about the trope with the intimidating enemy having a cutesy design (Pugsly I believe). I commented on that video about your thoughts on the trope, and after your response, I’ve been over thinking about it. I overthink about a lot of stuff you say about modern animation tropes, and it results in me getting annoyed and developing what could be close to “Stan” tendencies. I would want the people responsible to stop all of their planned work just for you to have a brighter look on modern animation. Something about your Oc and your voice just hypnotized me for some reason I can’t understand. I have been improving, and I felt that leaving a public piece of writing like this would help me better understand that. Thanks for the video.
Strongly disagree at most part of this list ngl.
And I disagree at the "game-feel" part, I actually love that the show has some episodes that don't feel like the game.
The I scream man deserves to be higher it’s my favorite S2 episode
Lost in the Woods is also the worst episode of The Cuphead Show according to IMDB. It’s also my least favorite out of the whole three seasons.
Cuphead always his fair share of both bad and good episodes
Also
Can you Please talk about an amazing SFM called Emesis Blue
One of the greatest sfms to ever exist
Your top three episodes are MY favorite episodes too, Mr. Alpha Jay! And I totally agree with your explanations on them!
No idea why this show wanted to turn the Devil into Squidward.
That Patreon segment literally gave me a heartattack...Great video Jay!
Overall the cuphead show:
*Really Flawed but Very Good and Fun !👍*
You seem to dislike the ones where the cups are more naughty. I don't mind I expect Cuphead to be annoying. Mugman is generally the sensible one. True but sensible people aren't sensible every second of every day. Going against a stereotype can add depth.
I honestly thought Bowl boy and ice cream man we're the same person I thought the big reveal at the end was that the ice cream person would reveal that he was bowl boy the whole time and the episode ended and I was like wait where was The Twist
Man, you just HATE the things you put in at the start of the video, I love I scream man, and also, I like sweet temptations and you should’ve talked about the thing about cuphead In don’t answer the door, when he said about “try to take our souls, turn into monsters, eat us, or shoot bullets out of there fingertips”.
In “ghosts ain’t real” during the chase scene the ghost from the first phase of the fantom express is there

I actually quite enjoyed the I Scream Man, but I do see the point of Mugman and Cuphead working better as a duo. I think Mugman's really funny when he gets annoyed though, especially the "that's a good one" scene which makes me cackle
I'm so glad high seas adventure is number one it's my favorite by a landslide
We will watch The Cuphead Show with great interest
High Seas Adventure is definitely my favorite episode of the show. My least favorite is Dirt Nap.
i just noticed that when the devil gets hit by Kettle’s car he does the exact same pose as the “knocked out peter meme”
Funny how in lost in the woods everytime a firework would blow, cuphead would cover his NON EXISTENT EARS
I was waiting for someone to rank every one off these and you were the first one to do so
Roadkill should’ve been more near the bottom considering how boring and bare bones the plot is.
"The christmas special is in the bottom third"
The Christmas special that takes a very creative and original take on Satan Clause and yet a genuine message is between the WORST? Like, really: when a Christmas special/movie FORCES that "It's Christmas, it's all about the meaning and not the stuff" they... are clearly reading a script: but, the fact that the DEVIL, yes number 1 on the naughty list, wants to experience Christmas the right way for once and actually learns how to ("why not use magic to have your gift?" "It's not the same thing when you recieve it" - "It's hard being good all the time" "I KNOW!") it's very convincing because it comes from a guy that shouldn't understand such things. The real only downside this episode deserves is purely in the Italian dubbing: in Italy, the Devil has a first and last name "Satanasso Pigliatutto" (Devil Take-it-all), but the guys doing the Italian dub needs to be fired cause they are TERRIBLE and missing this chance was one of the thousand of proofs.
You make some reasonable points, true, but come on: you can excuse those reasons with such originality. I mean... have you SEE that cool, terrifying and badass Santa werewolf-like transformation!?
I watched the cuphead show when I had the flu/fever and stayed home from school I bInged it start to finish that day
This shows that even the WORST of cuphead isn’t bad
I agree
When I look at the series, I do like the Cuphead show as a whole. It is entertaining and carries the feel of the game, in particular with the bosses/villain episodes. But I've noticed that Season 2 seems to have the best episodes and the worst episodes.
The best episodes are easily any episodes with the bosses, so A High Seas Adventure!, Sweet Temptation, and Rats All, Folks! for the obvious reason that the bosses are some of the absolute best characters in the series.
The worst episodes are exactly what you listed, Say Cheese, Lost in the Woods, etc. I was wondering why this was, and I feel like I might know why this is the case. Most of the episodes in the season seem to have the dialogue carried or the plot started by the brothers constantly fighting. Now, I know brothers often fight, I have a younger brother myself. But I feel like it says something when out of thirteen episodes, EIGHT of the episodes have this problem. (To be clear, that list is as follows: Jailbroken, A High Seas Adventure!, Another Brother, Sweet Temptation, Piano Lesson, Dead Broke, Say Cheese, and Lost in the Woods. I could count Charmed & Dangerous as well for the first conversation between Cuphead and Mugman, but the fighting isn't THAT rampant or "necessary" to be in that episode.) Now, that's not to say those episodes aren't bad, in fact, Sweet Temptation is better because of that fight showing Cuphead CAN have self-control. I just mean that it's a bit of a problem if over half of the episodes have the simple solution of arguing between specifically the main two characters to progress the story or add dialogue, because I feel it tends to get repetitive very quickly. Same goes for Season 3 involving the Devil being more of a punching bag than a threatening villain, but I didn't notice that as much and the constant arguing in Season 2 and how it was far less in Season 3. That said, it's still a good season and show, it's just a running problem I noticed in that season in what is otherwise a great show.
"Good job, STICKLER."
"I will not apologize for doing my jobbbbmmmmm..."
why is it so drug out??? 🤣
What would’ve been amazing for that final episode is that it the Devil took Chalice’s soul to tie it into the game.
cuphead went from my favorite character in season 1, because hes hilarious, my 2nd LEAST favorite character in season 2, because hes a total ahole in that season, and somewhere of a meh character in season 3. he got better in season 3, but not season 1 level good. Stickler will always be the worst character, if he didnt exist, cuphead would be the wost character in season 2.
You are beyond correct
A VERY DEVIL CHRISTMAS DESERVES MORE
12:44 To be fair they shouldn't. Cuphead doesn't owe the devil his soul anymore.
I disagree about the devil not being a threat. He can't actually hurt anyone unless they have a soul debt. His bark is bigger than his bite.
alpha jay show what are the 126 ways at 20:20 ??? cause i don't see em
that mask does look comfortable
The only problem I have with the dirt nap episode "the concept has been used a thousand times in multiple other cartoons"
What I got out of this: King Dice is amazing.
Cala Maria for the win! 🤩
I won't be satisfied until every game character appears, and cala gives mugboi a kiss
I BELIEVE you should rank all the episodes of...
ONE PIECE. And then you have to update the ranking when the show finishes in 6.5 years (the Managa is supposed to finish in 4 and the show is 2.5 behind)
Yeah Joyride had a lot of wasted potential. I was expecting some sort of twist or consequences for Chalice's actions but it never came
16:42 *sees the text fading in*
Surprised you didn't go with... urm... the 'other' outcome some people on the Internet would come to for scenarios like this.
I hope I don't need to say it.
It would be humiliating and shameful of me.
I think the only good part of the I scream man is the part, where Mugman tackles and beats up the Ice cream man
Who’s in August and still watch/talk Cuphead other than me 😅
I absolutely LOVED this show
Me too
I do have some questions coming from "Handle With Care"
Guys, doesn't it hurt... Isn't that like breaking a bone... What does the handle even do anyway, I see it mostly used AGAINST them, why is breaking it off a problem, now nobody can grab you by the handle when your trying not to die
Most of the episodes are filler with Elder Kettle.
Fun fact that yall already know already: bowl boy shares a voice actor with reaper from overwatch (Keith Ferguson)
No episode of Cuphead is bad
