I know everyone wanted to see what was going on with boo and Sully, but I think they wanted to leave that alone because it was a touching moment in the franchise.
The shows's creator Bobs Gannaway said he left Boo out of the show because he wanted Sully and Boo's relationship after the movie to be left to interpretation.
I kinda wish she would come back, but older? I think it would be interesting, she's older now, doesn't remember Sully. She has forgotten as she got older and then she accidentally rediscovers the world of the monsters and Sully. Thinking it was all just a dream and wasn't real. Or everyone thinks she's crazy, cause she knows the world exists and no one believes her.. until she finds something to prove it's real.
Well with the final episode ends with randall still escape from prison,if the TV team decide to do season 3 he might be the major antagonist to do a revenge on Boo try kidnapping her plotline.Who knows.I think the main reason is just because the story direction of season 2 is not about Mile and Sulley but Tyler and Val's work experience.Seadon 2 is what I hope season 1 would be,so I like it a lot.Deep down I do hope Boo can appear again one more time.
To me, the best scene would be the moment Tylor scared Ben. In a way, it manages to call-back to a previous moment but adds more context in the same situation. In Sully's scene, it's meant to bring sympathy. But in Tylor's scene, it's meant to bring empathy, as we start seeing how Tylor felt after scaring a kid he's bonded with. We don't see Tylor's breakdown as the viewer, but as Tylor. Moreso, Sully's moment is a sudden jumpscare in his usual work to move things along. But in Tylor's case, it's literally a conundrum of events that spiraled beyond his control, as all that rage, frustration, and stress ultimately pent up into one huge reaction that destroys his view of scaring. The roar itself isn't even a professional one. It's one from extreme anger building up until he lost it, as he roared twice and didn't stop when Ben was scared the first time. In a way similar to a father mistreating his son the same way HIS father mistreated him, realizing too late that he's continuing a cycle of pain. All made more heartbreaking when his fellow co-workers don't even TRY to realize he's not happy the slightest. It hits home real hard. If anything, it truly shows that Tylor is indeed Sully's successor.
Yeah that part made me so sad, I have just finish watching it and even when Tylor made up I can't stop thinking on how horrible Ben would have felt, just to think about what would happen when the morning would come around, he even said that he thought they were friends, and what makes it hard for me is that, Ben was happy to see Tylor and had fun talking to him
I like how this show managed to blend Inc. and University. Disney has weirdly always treated the two like they’re separate brands (if something is MU themed then it can’t reference Inc. and vice versa) so it’s nice to see them bring MU characters forward in time like this.
i think they kept them separate because of how fans were reacting to university i personally did not like that movie at all, but what can ya do, its officially canon in the whole timeline now
I was surprised at how dark it got at one point. When Tylor scared that kid he knew was so heartbreaking. And I thought for sure Roger was gonna be the predictable twist villain but was surprised.
I sort of saved my complete suspicions on Roger latter on, because I thought it seemed too obvious and early, and I figured he was being set up as red herring character. Still, it’s kind of great they had a lot of deep jeopardy and drama like you would see in a movie for this series.
One concept that after some thought we never really saw was that while monster inc was doing the whole laugh power thing, other companies were still using scream power which would have caused problems on both sides. What I mean is say one kid gets a monster from monsters inc and the next it’s fear co and it’s just this merry go round type problem where the kids are gonna be worried or scared of who is going to visit them that night. Could be a cool plot point to bring up or even show for a possible episode.
I always thought there was some type of regulatory body in the Monsters Universe that mandated no more than one copy of a kids' door could exist at one time. Or maybe the way the doors are constructed prevents an exact copy from being made?
@@kentslocum I thought that too until we saw in the second to last episode where fear co, a competitor company, had the exact same door that Tylor the main character has used for quite some time now. So with that, I think the companies share doors with each other or that no one in the monsters inc universe has thought about the matter that we are currently discussing about.
@@thefilmmaker3532 I haven't watched the second season of Monsters at Work yet, so that it a very interesting detail that might be a good plot point to explore in Season 3!
@@kentslocum we may not get a season 3 with how it ended but I could be wrong. And I kind of wish I am cause I want to see Sully and Boo actually meet.
Yeah because when the scene where Tylor scares Ben, it instantly answered my question if companies have different kids they have stored, I would have loved to see some of the Jokesters or the Scarers in Fear Co and Monsters Inc to deal with kids like that
@@BenDaresAll was season 1 bad or something i love both monsters inc and university but havent watched the show yet cause ive heard mixed reviews on it so is the show actually worth watching
@MR-SINISTER76 well, season 1 had a lot of Mike Wazowski and Sully. I dunno if I liked it cuz I wanted to know more about Tylor and his predicament. I'd say s2 is much better with the plotting and s1 was just setting up the characters.
I heard in the cancelled Monsters Inc sequel, Randall was gonna have a redeeming arc. And Gigantic is another cancelled Disney movie that comes to mind.
I don't care what people said, but this season is truly special to me. The Monsters Inc franchise has been one of my favourite Disney franchise, and seeing all these characters now back and expanding the world is amazing.
I'm so glad that this wasn't so bad, so far, in the movie side of Disney, it hasn't done to well, Elemental was really boring to me, and Wish was lets just say hard to watch, I'm glad that not all of Disney so far is going down hill
I would say a weird retcon was George still lost his fur n has that cone one his head. When the end of monsters Inc he got his fur back n no longer has the cone.
A fantastic expansion to Monsters Inc. Well done. In my opinion it should have been a theatrical sequel to complete the trilogy. And have the "filler episodes" like bowling and baseball cut from the film and being put into a series.
You know the theory that the monsters’ doors go all over time? What if the monsters making laugh energy and establishing friendships with human children is what causes human adults to think that the children have Imaginary Friends?
The animation is barely relevant imo. It gets the job done of letting us know it's a Monsters Inc show; it's not stellar, but that's okay because the show's bread and butter is it's writing.
I mean they made all of Monsters Inc hate Tylor, it's reasonable for him to think Tylor would join them regardless, assuming he doesn't know that he changed his mind after scaring Ben
Yeah, that part was a little off. He just assumed Tylor wouldn’t have any objections with his schemes and lies especially learning Randall framed him straight from the horse’s mouth way.
I think they wrote themselves into a pretty big corner because as far as we can tell, Johnny has no reason not to listen to Tylor about the whole, laugh + scare = nuclear bomb especially if he is going to trust Tylor with the knowledge that they are committing multiple felonies. Honestly, the easiest fix should have been that Tylor found out by accident by knocking over a canister and realizing inside is laughter or something.
I loved season 2, but I hated what they did with Johnny at the end. If I were to rewrite the last episodes, Johnny would have genuinely changed and is just a traditionalist who refuses to change the classic ways and took in all the former scarers from MI because he hated to see their potential as scarers go to waste and has a very clashing view to the way Sully runs his company (Therefore, they remain rivals), and Randall was the only true villain who wanted to sabotage both companies and their CEOs (Because he was still spiteful after what Johnny did to him in MU, and Mike and Sully for obvious reasons), and destroy Monstropolis by combining their energies together. And both he and Sully are forced to work together to stop Randall.
Still Johnny saved Randall so he owes him. And all of the stealing was Johnny's plan because his company was weak and similar ro Waternoose,didn't want to ruin his father's legacy or business. On the other hand unlike Waternoose,he didn't hurt anyone only because they stopped the reactor before it could've been blown up. And he enjoyed Mike and Sully being arrested so in a way he is still a soft villain.
Still, it’s a series. They couldn’t just rush it to the conclusion since the pacing is spread out than a movie. They literally had to be episodic and balance it out with the main plot and the episode plots.
honestly, i was very dissapointed the pulled a "nice guy is actually the villian" twist with Johnny. Having had him as an honestly better monster than he was before would have been a good way to show that people can grow and change. Him suddenly becoming a huge jerk in the very last episode feels out of nowhere rather than a well plotted plot point... in that case, they shoul dhave built up Randall as the villian from episode 1, or make Johnny look as if he is gonna be the villian, but then we learn it is Randall. It would have been a much more impactful twist in many ways, and it would have made Randall´s comeback much more memorable, because he feels like a an afterthought tbh, which is a shame because many people waited for his return and it was just very underwhelming
I agree completely, however it seems like the writing towards the end of the season devolved into amateur child antics. Johnny has a family and he cares about them just as much as he sees Fearco as an extension of his family. It makes sense for him to hold grudges and subtly mock Monster Inc's new laugh energy in the name of competition in a heated market, but recruiting Randall was the worst way to go about it. It severely undermines Johnny's portrayal of being a changed 'Monster'. It just shoves a horrible message that "villains never change" which encourages prejudice directly under that idea. It's almost like the writing forced itself in a position where it became a checklist of "how to return to the status quo" and it failed spectacularly. Tylor just goes back to being a jokester and all the conflict from previous episodes just disappears.
Just finished Monsters at Work season 2 today and boy, was it really good! I really enjoyed this more than the first season! Absolutely adore the characters, both old and new! Roger Rogers has to be my favorite! Very good moments, all very awesome, shocker and tear jerker ones to count. Loved that we got to officially see Fear Co and its glory! Also love how the season ended however I do hope there's a season 3 and/or a sequel movie on the making out of all of this! So, keep it up Disney/Pixar! You did a great job on this! Nice change of pace! This show monsterly rocks! I'm giving this a 9.75 out of 10!
Why doesn’t Sully ever resent Mike for having what he once had in Boo? Like, honestly, he was told that he could never see her again, and yet now even Tylor has a child that is on a first name basis with him. I would definitely believe that Mike has something similar, especially with the baby from season one, so why don’t we ever have a scene where it shows just that, that Sully was basically told no, you can’t have that, but in the same vein, so very soon after that moment, other monsters have what he just got rid of. Not to mention, Sully just lost his dream job, too. He’s stuck working at a job that he was not prepared for at all, much like Tylor himself, and his partner is just as in the dark as he is. There’s some interesting things they could do with his character, but they don’t really do anything. The timeline is just confusing, so some of what I said could very well be incorrect, but my point still stands. There could have been conflict between Mike and Sully on these issues, and there just wasn’t.
I mean sully not meeting boo makes since because this show is supposed to take place in the time gap of boo’s door being shredded and then rebuilt by Mike. My hope is in its final season mift helps Mike rebuild the door. I will say to me this show is good, yeah it’s not fantastic, but it’s not bad. You can tell they care way more than dreamworks did with megamind.
Oh you are right I forgot, to be fair I haven’t watched season 1 since it came out. Season one was to me a way to introduce the new characters and world build before they started really diving deeper. I think maybe boo might be covered later tho. Bringing back Randal first was a good idea, because having him back might be scary for sully. Also Randal was not confirmed to be back till the end of the second season which makes sense why Mike and Sally’s reaction to that was not really covered.
The real issue with the Johnny saving Randall recon is the horrible, incoherent timing with it. According to Randall's story, Johnny saved him because he was worried over how laugh energy would topple scream energy after Waternoose's arrest... before laugh energy was actually a thing, because Sully didn't have the idea to use it yet as that only happened at the very end of the first film. Even ignoring that , we're supposed to believe that Johnny learned that Randall was trapped in the human world, found out the exact door he went through, repaired that door/had another door with the exact same connection, and then saved him... all within a span of time when Randall would've still been alive and trapped in the trailer. What? Was Johnny already prepared to save Randall and, if so, why? They were from competing businesses and there was no mention of Johnny being on the Scream Extractor project. I don't buy for a second the "we were joined at the hip in college," line either, but that's a whole other topic starting with how they really flopped with Randall's progression as a villain. It just all comes across as a giant mess. I agree that the show as some decent things about it, but it seems like something that was better in concept than execution.
For my understanding, Johnny saved Randall as a friend at first. I think being in the scaring industry have some connections between each other, so Johnny got insiders knowing that Randall is chasing down Boo. And the line Randall said about being friends with Johnny is understandable, since we never saw how Randall's education is after Mike and Sulley got kicked out
@ansonchow2016 The trouble there is, "what insider other than Boggs himself?" We'd only be making an assumption there, and there's still the timing of the abrupt save, which only Mike, Sully, and Randall himself would've known he needed. We'd also have to assume that Johnny had a copy of that specific door ready to do the save that quick. As for the friend issue, it's clear in the film that RORs, and specifically Johnny's, "friendship" is based on their use to each other. When Sully starts to slip in class, Johnny was ready to kick him to the curb. When Randall messed up his scare in the games, even though it very much was an accident caused by Sully, Johnny flipped out at Randall. We even see Randall flinch at Johnny's voice when he's first shown to have joined the RORs. They may be similar to each other as villains with shared ambitions, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't turn on each other. Again, assuming that the relationship moved on to a positive one, especially when another "friend" of Johnny's, Chet, came to be treated as more of a minion, seems unbelievable and without much to base it on.
Hot take but honestly despite as much a bully/bad guy Johny is. I think at the same time he's a good guy inside. He's obviously done bad things but he's done generous things at the same time. His family seems to be happy, hes only done mischievous things but but never hurt or attempted to kill someone unlike Randal and waternoose. He has much access to those doors as monster inc if he wanted to, he could have literally brought back the scream extractor but didn't. It's still a mystery how he found Randall . But the plan to decorporate monsters inc would be too soon. I think despite the fact they werent friend's he just saved Randall because hes actually caring. Obviously having pressure to maintain the company we don't know his childhood past with his father and it could explain why the way he is.
It was cool to see Randall make a return but it was lazy story writing. Johnny was disgusted with Randall after the scare games and he happens to find where Randall is and save him? A much better plot would’ve been for Randall to go rogue and destroy both Monsters Inc and Fear Co by combining their energies.
@@badpasters a bad twisted villain imo I expected better from Johnny, to just change But nah Disney said “nah fuck that let’s make him an immature man who can’t change and another clone of Mr Waternoose”
I was blown away by how respectful of the continuity this series manages to be. It borrows and builds on so many elements of the world and I personally adore the monster designs so much. Also the writing in this show in particular is very punchy and mature for a cartoon
Season 2 felt like a true sequel to the original movie and I appreciate how much they connected this season to both films! I am hopeful for a season 3 especially because this season ends with stuff left on the plate!
I never watched the trailer, but the moment Tyler was struggling to get jokes with the donuts in S2E1 with Ben I knew he was likely going to go back to scaring, liking it, but then coming back to Ben and not wanting to scare anymore. Fully bringing him around to laugh power. the series was not terrible, there have been far worse spin offs that got downgraded to home release or tv series.
The reason Sully can’t see boo is cause her door hasn’t been fixed yet. Remember how in season 1 the extra large canisters hadn’t been invented yet which were all over the place at the end of the movie?
The second season is obviously better than the first: the first is in fact just a base on which to build the sequel, with many characters each used to their best advantage, an interesting concept behind it and also the return of characters absent from Monsters University or, in Randall's case, Monsters Inc. Up to episode 8, it was consistently very good, with episode 8 itself culminating in a breathtaking twist, but episode 9 and especially episode 10 simply don't work and almost regress the rest of the season. The conflict between Scarer and Jokester is won by the latter, no surprises there, but Tylor was happy to work at Fear & Co: sure, the environment was not the best, but this is the culmination of his dream. Why does he suddenly decide to return to what he is not at his best? The moral issue, especially with the numerous POVs presented throughout the season, cannot be resolved in a simple black and white, jokester is good, scarer is bad. But I think the biggest problem (and sadly one that I feel is never mentioned) is how this finale completely assassinated Johnny as a character, making him make stupid decisions or decisions contrary to his ideals just to have a plausible culprit. The idea that Johnny and Randall could realistically work together is minimal, in the last Scare Games challenge Randall humiliated the entire fraternity and, if the series really makes us believe that legality is important to him, he would never have made this alliance, and even if we suspend this fact as true, I can't believe Johnny could save Randall at the right time (and frankly I don't even feel like I can justify it). I know Johnny is not a pure character, and I don't even remotely expect you to think so, but he had moral values that made him a better character than a cartoonish caricature: Chet and Johnny have always been close, ever since university, and suddenly now Chet ditches him, Johnny has a family that he visibly loves, but which is never seen or mentioned in the finale, and even the character's intelligence is severely diminished, impossible for someone as smart as him not to have calculated the risks of mixing the 2 energies. Really, a good season, an expansion of the world never seen until now, characters that are never useless and an animation quality that, although not comparable to Pixar, is acceptable, but this finale doesn't deserve to give Johnny such a negative send off
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE MISCHARACTERIZATION/USE OF JOHNNY!! i thought i was the only one who saw more than just a one-dimensional bully/antagonist in him. (warning: Johnathan James “The Jaw” Worthington III autistic character analysis coming up ⤵️) Johnny is passionate about upholding his family legacy (and as you said, he loves said family), he cares about maintaining good grades, and respects tf out of MU and the scaring process and tradition. he intentionally humiliated OK, but also used the popularity of said humiliation to raise money for charity (yes, i believe him). he also took the “loss” against OK in the final scare game surprisingly well (he didn’t try to get back at Mike or swear revenge as Randall did to Sully, he didn’t even call BS on Mike “out-preforming” him! he didn’t look mad either, just shocked (he only looked mad when his own team couldn’t pull their own weight), but seemed to accept the loss to Oozma Kappa. he also offered Sully a spot back on ROR, so he doesn’t seem to hold grudges or be vengeful or a sore loser). his main flaw i feel, is that he can’t see the value in people right away, or at all until they can blatantly prove it to his face. he also canonically fears failure, which suits him very well considering the weight he is carrying with his family reputation, maining top scare student status, and being president of the top scare fraternity on campus (that’s a lot for anyone, holy frig). this character has passions, goals, values, beliefs, things he cares deeply about, and hardships. you just have to be looking for it ;). not to mention he gots ✨ flaws ✨ (every good character has them, lol). Johnny’s pretty well set up and deserving of a redemption arc if you ask me! in MU, Johnny was always very loud and vocal and kinda made a scene and was very obvious when he didn’t like someone or something (ex: Sully’s laziness, Mike and OK joining the Scare Games, Reggie’s slip up in the final challenge, Randall’s failure in the final challenge, Chet when he became too much at times, etc.). but he also cheered when his teammates were doing well, and did not even try to hide his flabbergasted expression when Oozma Kappa ”beat” Roar Omega Roar in the Scare Games. it was clear what he thought 100% of the time about everybody. bro was anything but fake, or as Tylor worded it, “a fraud”. Johnny was a jerk, who didn’t know he was being a jerk. that’s his main character flaw, he can’t see the worth in people (namely ones like Mike and Oozma Kappa) bc it’s not immediately visible/measurable to him. people like that don’t align with what his (and most people in their society tbh) definition of what a ‘monster’ truly is. and he feels the need to point that out to them every chance he gets bc he feels their determination is a waste of time and energy. that can always change tho. if /Hardscrabble/ was able to see it, Johnny Worthington absolutely can as well 🙌. in MAW, Johnny acts like a good guy, a “changed monster”, but apparently has been scheming behind the scenes for… the entire show’s length? 😭 and has been covering up his tracks so no one suspects he’s up to something?? i HATE this. it implies that Johnny now KNOWS what he is doing is wrong, and that he just doesn’t care. that he’s just doing bad things for the sake of doing bad things bc…? he wants to stay in power? he wants to rule over monstropolis with Fear Co’s energy (stolen MI laugh energy)? that is not Johnny Worthington. at least not who i saw in MU Johnny Worthington. he was selfish in MU yeah sure, but never to /this/ extent. what happened to the care and passion he used to have for the art of scaring? or the love of continuing his family business? or the goal to make Fear Co be the best it could be (i say this would be a genuine ‘goal’ of his despite it not being taken seriously in MAW, bc Johnny always wanted ROR to be the best they could be, and i thinkkkk the same would carry over to the family business he inherited)? new Johnny hurts people, frames people, sabotages companies and people he formerly respected, is reckless, careless, genuinely stupid, and just doesn’t care about anyone or anything anymore? ok pop off MAW, pop off you really outdone yourselves with this one 😐. i will give MAW credit, i do believe it is in Johnny’s character to not like change. especially when said change is trying to overhaul every scare business around (cough ✨ Fear Co ✨ cough ✨ his family business ✨ cough), which Johnny would perceive as a threat and/or more likely mock laugh energy and try to compete with it VERY OPENLY MIGHT I ADD THIS CHARACTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT. but being buddy buddy w Randall all a sudden, stealing from MI, being a complete idiot by not properly researching scream/laugh energy’s compatibility (bc it fu**ing explodes every time 💀), and even more of an idiot by sharing his “nefarious scheme” with Tylor after working with him for a day..? yikes 😬. either smth happened to him off screen to cause this awful shift in character, orrr the writers butchered him and tried to cover up the gaping head wound that is now his flanderized cardboard cutout shadow of a character, with a band aid that says, “if you can’t change who you are, just embrace it”. JOHNNY WOULD NOT EMBRACE BEING A CRIMINAL I AM NOT SORRY ✋😭. i know nobody cares about Johnny from MU, but he’s actually my favorite character from the entire franchise (rare/hot take, i know 😅). i was super excited when i found out there was a series on Disney+ where he returns! you can imagine my disappointment. my favorite characters always seem to get butchered lol. guess i need to get new taste 🙃 edit: TLDR: my excessively long analysis of Johnny’s character throughout the franchise. Johnny was surprisingly a decently fleshed out character in MU, and was reduced to a shallow, generic villainous entity in MAW. (character flanderization/wasted potential essay.) also Johnny is my favorite character ^^
@@madnessmar I wasn't planning on writing a long commentary on Johnny's character, but you more or less managed to sum up my thoughts very well. I love Johnny too (he's my favourite character ever) and I really felt that this ending didn't do the character or the season itself any justice at all, which makes me think that the ending is clearly rushed and deserved more dedication. But we can pretend that these last 2 episodes are off canon and move on!
@@supermarios0573 FELLOW JOHNNY FAN YAY HELLO!! guy was peacefully existing the entire season just being a chill more mature version of himself (more charismatic now instead of smarmy, respectful to Mike/Sully even when Mike didn’t reciprocate, seeing Tylor’s potential and offering him a generous job opportunity/position/company car etc.). i like to imagine Johnny running FearCo staying one of the few companies that doesn’t switch to laugh energy in the end. they preserve tradition and offer an alternative to being a “Jokester”. it brings me peace of mind and a satisfying conclusion for Johnny, and honestly the whole Monsters universe (things shouldn’t have to be so black and white). and yeah, the “lazy” writing i attribute to the writers wanting a big bad villain for the heroes to defeat bc MAW is a “kids show” and they didn’t want to make it “too complex”. (kids deserve good content too tho daamnit!)
Tylor made a better successor than any classic sequel film next generation character. For starters, he's not a Gary Stu. He has flaws, and he isn't handed anything on a gold plate. He actually works for it unlike a certain orphan women from the Star Wars Universe.
But it 1999 in the world I know monster inc came out in 2001 However in the film; there papers work showing it 1999 This is only a couple of week/months after so at a push it’s 2000
@@lucifersdevilishdetails. well if the world shows us anything it takes WAY more then 20 years to get off a rapidly depleating resource that is slowly killing us all.....
I found it interesting that the pixar name was missing from this show. So that explains some of why the quality dropped while cars on the road looked almost as good as the movies since pixar had a hand in it.
I liked the season. Thought bringing back Johnny was a nice addition and I liked the aspect of Fear Co. I would have liked Tylor to meet Uzma Cappa though. I think it would have helped him with trying to figure out who he really is. Not sure I liked Randall coming back especially with how he was brought back but I guess they needed someone else to be the right hand guy to Johnny
In the intro you kinda say that scream energy is renewable as well as laugh energy but thats not reslly the case lol. In the beginning of monsters inc they actually establish that scream energy is quickly becoming less and less renewable because scarier and more violent media becoming more mainstream (2001 movie moment i guess) is toughening kids up and leaving them less scared
The job offer thing was technically not true, because he got a job offer early on (around episodes 2 or 3, whenever Tyler went to that fancy restaurant), but my gripe was he was being wishy washy about it that he doesn’t actually go until episode 8, due to semi heavy spoilers lol
He did get a job offer to Fearco in Episode 3. Next episode he was being told by Val to say no because of a pinkie promise, and that's the biggest issue with this season's writing. What I think Dazz was saying that it was frustrating to watch Tylor only work at Fearco for only 2 episode - ish, like the whole thing dragged on too long, and I can agree. Here's how I would've fixed it Tylor learns that his family is struggling earlier, and takes the offer. Episode 5 is where he works at Fearco. Though he has betrayed Monster Inc, MIFT, which leads to understandable feelings that we saw in the finale. Starting from Episode 5 would actually fix the pacing problem of Tylor learning about Johnny's plans instead of the shtshow we got.
My biggest disappointment is that they did end up making a villian that did cause every issue. It's such a lame "twist". I'd prefer if he was just a character who did stick with scare energy. Having him be a villian feels so forced
I found a lot of what this season showed us really interesting. I especially liked how Johnny felt like a FAR more compelling character than in MU. He's matured now and is just a traditionalist who believes in doing heat he knows best but is civil to his competitors..... SPOILERS! UNTIL THE LAST 2 EPISODES WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE MIDDLE FINGER ON THAT!
Bro why do you actually sound like one of the characters from this show, you sound literally almost exactly like Roger Rogers (aka Henry J Waternoose the third) just without all the pep in his voice
i feel like they should've saved this idea of a sequel for another movie, and that monsters at work should've been a prequel about what goes on at the factory during frightening frank mccay's era
Honestly I’m glad they’re at least trying I like how they brought together the characters from the 1st and prequel Honestly it could use a darker or deeper turn like how the 1st movie showed the dark sides of the corporation, or Sully’s relationship with humans
I’ve got some ideas for season 3: 1. It isn’t clear if FearCo was completely shut down at the end of season 2, if they haven’t: they should make another Epsiode where they play softball but this time monsters Inc wins. This would be a great moment in the series as it would mark their very first victory in the softball games, which would be a very uplifting moment after loosing for 40 years straight. Continuing with the idea that FearCo hasn’t shut down, they would have to rebrand because of people wanting laugh power (most likely changing their name to LaughCo), they could have it so their new CEO makes a more gradual change to laugh power, as a contrast to Sulley ‘all in’ approach. 1 a) They could make it so that which ever team wins gets two tickets to Harry Hausens. This would mean that if Monsters Inc finally won: the episode would end in a very heartwarming moment with Mike and Ceelia finally being able to enjoy a meal together at Harry Hausens. Also the Epsiode could be a two partner with Mike trying to train the team to victory in the first part: similar to how he trained Oozma Kappa in MU. The second part would be the victory: they could even have Waternoose and Johnny Worthington spectating the game as they are allowed a day outside of prison and have Johnny making a smug/gloating remark about how FearCo have won all 40 of the past games and how Monsters Inc are so useless that they’re going to loose this one again marking their 41st conservative victory: only to then witness his company loose for the first time. 2. In Season 2 Epsiode 8, Mike claims he’s making a play called ‘New Canisters’ to hide the fact that the canisters were leaking (or so he believed at the time). It would be really funny if they made an episode where they tried to make a play called ‘New Canisters’ with Sully to direct and Mike to do his ‘New Canister Dance’. This would be a call back to ‘Put that kid back where it came from or so help me!’. As for the play itself: it could be about how the monsters adapted to the change from scream to laugh, and could also potentially be used to make meta commentary: in a similar vein to the Ember Island Players Epsiode from ATLA. 3. They could have some scenes with Waternoose and Johnny Worthington III, maybe see their perspective change whilst their sharing a cell in prison. 4. It would be interesting so see how Johnny’s family are coping as a result of his arrest. They will likely be dealing with the emotional fallout from discovering that their dad who they loved was actually a crook and will likely have to live with the stigma of being associated with him, in fact Roger Roger’s will have had to have dealt with that when his father (Waternoose) was discovered to be making a scream extractor: so they could potentially bond over that shared experience. 5. In season 2: it’s implied that the members of Oozma Kappa were able to become successful scarers, which means they will have to adapt now that laugh power is becoming a thing: Mike could train them up to be jokesters the same way he did to be scarers in MU. 6. Randall should come back as a villain. 7. They could show how Sully’s family (who were initially established to have a strong legacy of being great scarers) are reacting to the change from scare power to laugh power. 8. They could have an Epsiode where Mike finally does his paperwork on time but because of some unexpected circumstances: he looses all his paper work and has to scramble around trying to fix everything only for the episode to end with Roz calmly telling him that once again, he’s late, with her usual dry humor. 9. Mike could propose to Ceelia and or Tylor could propose to Val or both.
It was a total retcon. Season 2 of this series, just finally tied back to the original film. I feel it was well paced. It filled most of the plot holes that separated it from the film. Yeah, Randall being saved is a bit of stretch as humans were still seen as toxic. On top of that, the door was destroyed. But all done to continue their story.
okay with the door being destroyed yeah but it was from monster incorporated sides the person that saved Randel had his own company meaning he did have his own doors
@@andrewmcloughlin330 Oh yeah. This series established that, on top of competing energy companies. But, that also destroys some of the meaning behind rebuilding Boo's door, when they could have just acquired it elsewhere. Then again, Boo only had one monster assigned, given that she only drew one, being Randall. I guess the assigning of one monster per child, was also retconned with the establishment of multiple Scare Energy companies.
@@Honeneko. with that i think that can be made easier sure theres the possibility that there is multiple doors in other companies but i think with the amount of kids in the world at the time monsters inc was around they were able to have a lot of doors in multiple companies and its possible that with waternoose and randalls idea they found a young enough child whos screams they could extract they could have personally commissioned for said door
@@andrewmcloughlin330 It could be. Waternoose did shady stuff. And with the new canon of the world, you can say that he gained or bought sole rights to the door for that purpose. But then that would open up the world to exclusivity, which Fear Co. showed there isn't; Tylor encountering the same child he did at both companies. Maybe remembering wrong, but I remember monsters being custom tailored to the child in relative to their fears. But that could have been Monsters Inc. protocol.
Another contradiction of the show that messed up the prequel movie connection. They mention Tyler beat many records of Sully when he was at monsters university? Sully was a lazy barely passing by student. Maybe! Silly did good on the test simulators that as Professor Nitely put it, easy bedwetter mode. Which way they established settings in MU that is not impressive whatsoever. He was there less than a full school year to even establish a record plus during the scare games he was good but not great especially compared to scare that Johnny Worthington had done in the endgame. So if anything it would had been best to say he beat Johnny’s established records at M.U.
I really liked this show, I was just watching it to kill some time. And yeah while the first few episodes could get a bit birding but the climax with the last few episodes were really fun and overall I liked what they were doing. Excited for season 3
[Spoilers] I was a fan since season 1 and I really liked the second one. It was better, for sure, because I like that they addressed that change can be hard and that the change from scream to laugh power was not as simple, which it shouldn't be. I mean, that's the way their world has been running. It was fine all these years ago, why change that. I love that they brought back Johnny, didn't think he'd be cheating, that's not what he did in MU, he bullied, but he didn't cheat. I did hope over the season, that Johnny had changed, but he didn't, but I actually still can't say I'm disappointed, because they had Chet change, after being fed up with being treated so badly by Johnny and Randall. I also like that they didn't make Johnny as someone he hasn't been in order for him to be the villain, it all felt pretty in character for him. The season is good, I'm just scared that, even though there is a good chance for season 3, there is something that happened in the last episode, that might have ended the show
Y'all know how adult animated television has that one style? That weird Family Guy esc style just more basic/lower quality It feels like kids animation is taking that route too all having that super blended airbrush and shiny 3D. Kinda weird
Randall was probably the only good thing about this series since before they claimed he wasn’t going to return but then ‘surprise! He’s back!’ really caught me off guard.
This season was good it was great i did like it.......... Expect for what they did in the last two episodes where they add that forced gay crap because this is current day disney they just had to do it! Because Disney has never learn no matter how much money they lost!
Who cares if they shoved the gay stuff? It was minor and didn't affect the plot at all. What really mattered was Johnny and Randall's characters being misrepresented.
At least they did the original movie more justice that Megamind, or Monsters v. Aliens. Both of those got ruined by their respective series'. For Megamind.. 1. Minion should have kept his name, it was his NAME and or species never his title. 2. Megamind had ZERO friends aside from minion and later Roxanne. 3. Roxanne and Megamind DID fall in love at the end of the movie, no "It's complicated" 4. Didn't use the Dehydration gun, or at least give a reason not to. 5. Doom Syndicate was better in the games, nuff said. For Monsters v. Aliens. Should have had another agency capturing aliens and competing for funding instead. To keep the Monsters v. Aliens aspect. Gynormica shouldn't have had her powers drained, if anything have Dr. Cockroach build her a belt that occasionally shorts out.
It wasn't amazing, but I was watching two episodes a week as they came out and I think that helped A LOT. I think I would have been as frustrated as you if i had binge watched it. I'm still not all that attached to the characters introduced in the series, (I still don't like Tyler much, but the rest are ok) but I think that the way they reintroduced a lot of the side characters from the movies were really cool, and I was actually genuinely impressed with how they tied it all together and even found a fitting job for Tyler at the end. But yes it probably would have made for a better movie
Okay. I think I was too harsh on the season when I thought it was unnecessary. Because seeing some older characters showing up is nice. Along with some more story additions.
I find season one was the perfect ending for the series. The second season started off strong but was getting weaker at the end. The last two episodes seems to be rushed and had a few plotholes in my opinion. Also my opinion: the ending was too simple and not relatable to enjoy. Monsters inc and monsters university has these strong points the audience can relate to...even season one of monsters at work had that strong point. ( I dont want to use spoilers to ruin the fun on watching the series who hasnt seen it yet). Hopefull they dont do a season 3 or another movie. Despite all that I still watch the series as well as the movies over and over again ❤
My problem is that Mike and sully never had anythang to do with Randal and never faced him Tyler just faced him with the help of the main characters that is all for me
Kingdom Hearts isn't canon to any of the franchises used as the foundation for worlds. And even if it was, everything about it was contradicted by both seasons of this show.
@@OathOfTheThirteenth not entirely this Pixar worlds we're worked very carefully with the Pixar people . If not completly canon for obvious reasons . It's not too farfetch to think it has a little of canon ideas. Also this series uses the characters but is not Pixar doing it directly
@@kevinasturias607 Disney leases out its properties to Square Enix to create the worlds in Kingdom Hearts. The only involvement they or Pixar may have (besides sharing character models, etc) would be ensuring their characters are accurately portrayed in the story. Kingdom Hearts doesn't and cannot create canon for the IPs - Disney owns Pixar and Monsters at Work, whether Pixar is involved or not, is a canon extension to that universe. Kingdom Hearts III contradicts Monsters at Work because it wasn't even announced when the game was released, and because it has zero influence on the lore of that franchise, Disney has ignored anything established in that world. Tl;dr, Kingdom Hearts is its own thing and has no effect on the canon of Monsters, Inc. or any other property featured in the games.

Unlike megamid, this show actually has the original cast, especially a certain returning favorite villain.
Ya you gotta admire them for actually being able to get most of the original cast back. That couldn’t have been easy
“Randall showing up”
Fans: He’s back!!!!
Monsters at work is also bearable to watch
Most of the og cast apparently Celia’s va didn’t come back for season 2 likely due to schedule conflicts with filming Chucky
@@WelshGiraffa still.
🤷♂
I know everyone wanted to see what was going on with boo and Sully, but I think they wanted to leave that alone because it was a touching moment in the franchise.
The shows's creator Bobs Gannaway said he left Boo out of the show because he wanted Sully and Boo's relationship after the movie to be left to interpretation.
@@ThomasFisher-jr6bn thats all fine, I dont think theres anything else to do with them
I kinda wish she would come back, but older? I think it would be interesting, she's older now, doesn't remember Sully. She has forgotten as she got older and then she accidentally rediscovers the world of the monsters and Sully. Thinking it was all just a dream and wasn't real. Or everyone thinks she's crazy, cause she knows the world exists and no one believes her.. until she finds something to prove it's real.
Well with the final episode ends with randall still escape from prison,if the TV team decide to do season 3 he might be the major antagonist to do a revenge on Boo try kidnapping her plotline.Who knows.I think the main reason is just because the story direction of season 2 is not about Mile and Sulley but Tyler and Val's work experience.Seadon 2 is what I hope season 1 would be,so I like it a lot.Deep down I do hope Boo can appear again one more time.
@@ThomasFisher-jr6bnkind of messed up the interpretations with the show lol
To me, the best scene would be the moment Tylor scared Ben.
In a way, it manages to call-back to a previous moment but adds more context in the same situation.
In Sully's scene, it's meant to bring sympathy. But in Tylor's scene, it's meant to bring empathy, as we start seeing how Tylor felt after scaring a kid he's bonded with. We don't see Tylor's breakdown as the viewer, but as Tylor.
Moreso, Sully's moment is a sudden jumpscare in his usual work to move things along. But in Tylor's case, it's literally a conundrum of events that spiraled beyond his control, as all that rage, frustration, and stress ultimately pent up into one huge reaction that destroys his view of scaring. The roar itself isn't even a professional one. It's one from extreme anger building up until he lost it, as he roared twice and didn't stop when Ben was scared the first time. In a way similar to a father mistreating his son the same way HIS father mistreated him, realizing too late that he's continuing a cycle of pain. All made more heartbreaking when his fellow co-workers don't even TRY to realize he's not happy the slightest. It hits home real hard.
If anything, it truly shows that Tylor is indeed Sully's successor.
True dat
That part made me tear up. Ben could have voice acted better but it was still an amazing scene.
Brilliant analysis.
Yeah that part made me so sad, I have just finish watching it and even when Tylor made up I can't stop thinking on how horrible Ben would have felt, just to think about what would happen when the morning would come around, he even said that he thought they were friends, and what makes it hard for me is that, Ben was happy to see Tylor and had fun talking to him
that scene made me tear up too, also when Ben said "I thought we we're friends..."
I like how this show managed to blend Inc. and University. Disney has weirdly always treated the two like they’re separate brands (if something is MU themed then it can’t reference Inc. and vice versa) so it’s nice to see them bring MU characters forward in time like this.
Even tho no one from mike's fraternity was in I think. But what about that short party central?
i think they kept them separate because of how fans were reacting to university
i personally did not like that movie at all, but what can ya do, its officially canon in the whole timeline now
@@tavrosnitram1529 How do you not like MU?!
I was surprised at how dark it got at one point. When Tylor scared that kid he knew was so heartbreaking. And I thought for sure Roger was gonna be the predictable twist villain but was surprised.
Same here
I sort of saved my complete suspicions on Roger latter on, because I thought it seemed too obvious and early, and I figured he was being set up as red herring character. Still, it’s kind of great they had a lot of deep jeopardy and drama like you would see in a movie for this series.
I really liked Roger too.
Yeh because when The MIFT crew left and left Roger in charge, he looked so menacing, but for once this show wasn't super predictable in that sense
@@RabbidsFan-d5o Also I dont quite get MIFT.
One concept that after some thought we never really saw was that while monster inc was doing the whole laugh power thing, other companies were still using scream power which would have caused problems on both sides. What I mean is say one kid gets a monster from monsters inc and the next it’s fear co and it’s just this merry go round type problem where the kids are gonna be worried or scared of who is going to visit them that night. Could be a cool plot point to bring up or even show for a possible episode.
I always thought there was some type of regulatory body in the Monsters Universe that mandated no more than one copy of a kids' door could exist at one time. Or maybe the way the doors are constructed prevents an exact copy from being made?
@@kentslocum I thought that too until we saw in the second to last episode where fear co, a competitor company, had the exact same door that Tylor the main character has used for quite some time now. So with that, I think the companies share doors with each other or that no one in the monsters inc universe has thought about the matter that we are currently discussing about.
@@thefilmmaker3532 I haven't watched the second season of Monsters at Work yet, so that it a very interesting detail that might be a good plot point to explore in Season 3!
@@kentslocum we may not get a season 3 with how it ended but I could be wrong. And I kind of wish I am cause I want to see Sully and Boo actually meet.
Yeah because when the scene where Tylor scares Ben, it instantly answered my question if companies have different kids they have stored, I would have loved to see some of the Jokesters or the Scarers in Fear Co and Monsters Inc to deal with kids like that
When a two season show does more to cater to the original movies than Megamind two has then you know something went wrong
This season was amazing, say what you want but it’s leagues better than the first.
I wanna give Tylor a hug so bad. i have strong feelings for him.
Absolutely true! S2 was so good!
But series itself is bad and boring as fuck
@@BenDaresAll was season 1 bad or something i love both monsters inc and university but havent watched the show yet cause ive heard mixed reviews on it so is the show actually worth watching
@MR-SINISTER76 well, season 1 had a lot of Mike Wazowski and Sully. I dunno if I liked it cuz I wanted to know more about Tylor and his predicament. I'd say s2 is much better with the plotting and s1 was just setting up the characters.
I heard in the cancelled Monsters Inc sequel, Randall was gonna have a redeeming arc. And Gigantic is another cancelled Disney movie that comes to mind.
I’m hoping he will get a redemption arc

I don't care what people said, but this season is truly special to me. The Monsters Inc franchise has been one of my favourite Disney franchise, and seeing all these characters now back and expanding the world is amazing.
Now if only they would do something like this for A Bugs Life. 🤞 I know it's not the greatest or most popular Pixar movie, but it's my favorite. Lol
@@LBPfan18 7 Samurai with bugs is surprisingly interesting.
I'm so glad that this wasn't so bad, so far, in the movie side of Disney, it hasn't done to well, Elemental was really boring to me, and Wish was lets just say hard to watch, I'm glad that not all of Disney so far is going down hill
You hit the nail on the head with the kids' designs. I couldn't work out what they reminded me of. Shudder.
I thought the baby in the first season was cute
They were probably trying to match the old animation, which unfortunately hasn't aged well.
I would say a weird retcon was George still lost his fur n has that cone one his head. When the end of monsters Inc he got his fur back n no longer has the cone.
Maybe it just happened again?
I don’t blame them… he’s easier to animate as a result. 😅
To be fair it could be he was touched again as we see when he saw a kid again he ran in terror back into the human world
I always thought he got that way cause it got more laughs with kids.
@@NintendodudeXyeah, I'm pretty sure at the end of M:I they show him without fur
A fantastic expansion to Monsters Inc.
Well done.
In my opinion it should have been a theatrical sequel to complete the trilogy.
And have the "filler episodes" like bowling and baseball cut from the film and being put into a series.
I didn't mind. Though it probably would've been better if Pixar was more involved with it like Cars of the Road.
You know the theory that the monsters’ doors go all over time? What if the monsters making laugh energy and establishing friendships with human children is what causes human adults to think that the children have Imaginary Friends?
"Animation is Cheap looking" what do you mean by that, it looks thousand times better than Wish which is a full feature Film by Disney btw.
And better than Megamind "2" and megamind rules
@@MyLife_in_aNutshell ik that but it's not even worth mentioning Megamind 2, or even acknowledge that it even exist.
@MyLife_in_aNutshell if indie companies can make better looking animations then that movie shouldnt even be mentioned
The animation is barely relevant imo. It gets the job done of letting us know it's a Monsters Inc show; it's not stellar, but that's okay because the show's bread and butter is it's writing.
The animation still looks super cheap, other films looking cheaper doesn’t make this one look any better
Unlike Megamid, it didn't spawn death threats for existing.
Not a bad season, but kind of lazy writing at the end to have Johnny just assume Tylor would blindly go along with his corruption schemes.
I think he figured Taylor wouldn't do anything against them since he was involved in their plan already though he didn't know it
I mean they made all of Monsters Inc hate Tylor, it's reasonable for him to think Tylor would join them regardless, assuming he doesn't know that he changed his mind after scaring Ben
He was gaslighting him the whole time
Yeah, that part was a little off. He just assumed Tylor wouldn’t have any objections with his schemes and lies especially learning Randall framed him straight from the horse’s mouth way.
I think they wrote themselves into a pretty big corner because as far as we can tell, Johnny has no reason not to listen to Tylor about the whole, laugh + scare = nuclear bomb especially if he is going to trust Tylor with the knowledge that they are committing multiple felonies. Honestly, the easiest fix should have been that Tylor found out by accident by knocking over a canister and realizing inside is laughter or something.
I loved season 2, but I hated what they did with Johnny at the end. If I were to rewrite the last episodes, Johnny would have genuinely changed and is just a traditionalist who refuses to change the classic ways and took in all the former scarers from MI because he hated to see their potential as scarers go to waste and has a very clashing view to the way Sully runs his company (Therefore, they remain rivals), and Randall was the only true villain who wanted to sabotage both companies and their CEOs (Because he was still spiteful after what Johnny did to him in MU, and Mike and Sully for obvious reasons), and destroy Monstropolis by combining their energies together. And both he and Sully are forced to work together to stop Randall.
Still Johnny saved Randall so he owes him. And all of the stealing was Johnny's plan because his company was weak and similar ro Waternoose,didn't want to ruin his father's legacy or business.
On the other hand unlike Waternoose,he didn't hurt anyone only because they stopped the reactor before it could've been blown up. And he enjoyed Mike and Sully being arrested so in a way he is still a soft villain.
That's what I'm saying making Johnny the villain makes no sense. And it ruins making the whole situation complex by making one side good and bad.
We need season 3 Randell is still out there somewhere and I wanna see more connection with monsters and humans
Yet another Disney+ show that should have been a movie.
I literally JUST finished watching it as you released this
Still, it’s a series. They couldn’t just rush it to the conclusion since the pacing is spread out than a movie. They literally had to be episodic and balance it out with the main plot and the episode plots.
honestly, i was very dissapointed the pulled a "nice guy is actually the villian" twist with Johnny. Having had him as an honestly better monster than he was before would have been a good way to show that people can grow and change. Him suddenly becoming a huge jerk in the very last episode feels out of nowhere rather than a well plotted plot point... in that case, they shoul dhave built up Randall as the villian from episode 1, or make Johnny look as if he is gonna be the villian, but then we learn it is Randall.
It would have been a much more impactful twist in many ways, and it would have made Randall´s comeback much more memorable, because he feels like a an afterthought tbh, which is a shame because many people waited for his return and it was just very underwhelming
I agree completely, however it seems like the writing towards the end of the season devolved into amateur child antics. Johnny has a family and he cares about them just as much as he sees Fearco as an extension of his family. It makes sense for him to hold grudges and subtly mock Monster Inc's new laugh energy in the name of competition in a heated market, but recruiting Randall was the worst way to go about it. It severely undermines Johnny's portrayal of being a changed 'Monster'. It just shoves a horrible message that "villains never change" which encourages prejudice directly under that idea.
It's almost like the writing forced itself in a position where it became a checklist of "how to return to the status quo" and it failed spectacularly. Tylor just goes back to being a jokester and all the conflict from previous episodes just disappears.
Me: “Lives in Sweden 🇸🇪 that for some reason has not gotten Season 2 yet”.
and that’s where a VPN is needed
There is no pleasing some people 🙄
Fr this dude just complains
Just finished Monsters at Work season 2 today and boy, was it really good! I really enjoyed this more than the first season! Absolutely adore the characters, both old and new! Roger Rogers has to be my favorite! Very good moments, all very awesome, shocker and tear jerker ones to count. Loved that we got to officially see Fear Co and its glory! Also love how the season ended however I do hope there's a season 3 and/or a sequel movie on the making out of all of this! So, keep it up Disney/Pixar! You did a great job on this! Nice change of pace! This show monsterly rocks! I'm giving this a 9.75 out of 10!
Why doesn’t Sully ever resent Mike for having what he once had in Boo? Like, honestly, he was told that he could never see her again, and yet now even Tylor has a child that is on a first name basis with him. I would definitely believe that Mike has something similar, especially with the baby from season one, so why don’t we ever have a scene where it shows just that, that Sully was basically told no, you can’t have that, but in the same vein, so very soon after that moment, other monsters have what he just got rid of.
Not to mention, Sully just lost his dream job, too. He’s stuck working at a job that he was not prepared for at all, much like Tylor himself, and his partner is just as in the dark as he is. There’s some interesting things they could do with his character, but they don’t really do anything. The timeline is just confusing, so some of what I said could very well be incorrect, but my point still stands. There could have been conflict between Mike and Sully on these issues, and there just wasn’t.
I mean sully not meeting boo makes since because this show is supposed to take place in the time gap of boo’s door being shredded and then rebuilt by Mike. My hope is in its final season mift helps Mike rebuild the door.
I will say to me this show is good, yeah it’s not fantastic, but it’s not bad. You can tell they care way more than dreamworks did with megamind.
the season 1 finale took place on the day of boo's door being fixed
Yep true now season 2 is set directly after the events of the first film
Oh you are right I forgot, to be fair I haven’t watched season 1 since it came out. Season one was to me a way to introduce the new characters and world build before they started really diving deeper.
I think maybe boo might be covered later tho. Bringing back Randal first was a good idea, because having him back might be scary for sully. Also Randal was not confirmed to be back till the end of the second season which makes sense why Mike and Sally’s reaction to that was not really covered.
The real issue with the Johnny saving Randall recon is the horrible, incoherent timing with it. According to Randall's story, Johnny saved him because he was worried over how laugh energy would topple scream energy after Waternoose's arrest... before laugh energy was actually a thing, because Sully didn't have the idea to use it yet as that only happened at the very end of the first film. Even ignoring that , we're supposed to believe that Johnny learned that Randall was trapped in the human world, found out the exact door he went through, repaired that door/had another door with the exact same connection, and then saved him... all within a span of time when Randall would've still been alive and trapped in the trailer. What? Was Johnny already prepared to save Randall and, if so, why? They were from competing businesses and there was no mention of Johnny being on the Scream Extractor project. I don't buy for a second the "we were joined at the hip in college," line either, but that's a whole other topic starting with how they really flopped with Randall's progression as a villain. It just all comes across as a giant mess. I agree that the show as some decent things about it, but it seems like something that was better in concept than execution.
For my understanding, Johnny saved Randall as a friend at first. I think being in the scaring industry have some connections between each other, so Johnny got insiders knowing that Randall is chasing down Boo. And the line Randall said about being friends with Johnny is understandable, since we never saw how Randall's education is after Mike and Sulley got kicked out
@ansonchow2016 The trouble there is, "what insider other than Boggs himself?" We'd only be making an assumption there, and there's still the timing of the abrupt save, which only Mike, Sully, and Randall himself would've known he needed. We'd also have to assume that Johnny had a copy of that specific door ready to do the save that quick.
As for the friend issue, it's clear in the film that RORs, and specifically Johnny's, "friendship" is based on their use to each other. When Sully starts to slip in class, Johnny was ready to kick him to the curb. When Randall messed up his scare in the games, even though it very much was an accident caused by Sully, Johnny flipped out at Randall. We even see Randall flinch at Johnny's voice when he's first shown to have joined the RORs. They may be similar to each other as villains with shared ambitions, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't turn on each other. Again, assuming that the relationship moved on to a positive one, especially when another "friend" of Johnny's, Chet, came to be treated as more of a minion, seems unbelievable and without much to base it on.
Hot take but honestly despite as much a bully/bad guy Johny is. I think at the same time he's a good guy inside. He's obviously done bad things but he's done generous things at the same time. His family seems to be happy, hes only done mischievous things but but never hurt or attempted to kill someone unlike Randal and waternoose. He has much access to those doors as monster inc if he wanted to, he could have literally brought back the scream extractor but didn't. It's still a mystery how he found Randall . But the plan to decorporate monsters inc would be too soon. I think despite the fact they werent friend's he just saved Randall because hes actually caring. Obviously having pressure to maintain the company we don't know his childhood past with his father and it could explain why the way he is.
God I just want Randall gone
EXACTLY
BRO WAS IN THE TRAILER WITHIN A MINUTE
HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET THERE 💀
It was cool to see Randall make a return but it was lazy story writing. Johnny was disgusted with Randall after the scare games and he happens to find where Randall is and save him?
A much better plot would’ve been for Randall to go rogue and destroy both Monsters Inc and Fear Co by combining their energies.
Honestly, your plot was what I wished the ending of this season was.
Dang, I like that. I definitely wish Johnny still treated Randall like a jerk; a sort of villain vs villain turnout.
They had around 20 years to make up since the Scare Games, a few of which were still in college. It's believable enough.
also johnny being a twist villain was VERY predictable and clichéd
@@badpasters a bad twisted villain imo
I expected better from Johnny, to just change
But nah Disney said “nah fuck that let’s make him an immature man who can’t change and another clone of Mr Waternoose”
I was blown away by how respectful of the continuity this series manages to be. It borrows and builds on so many elements of the world and I personally adore the monster designs so much. Also the writing in this show in particular is very punchy and mature for a cartoon
I'm happy they aired s2 on disney channel first.
Season 2 felt like a true sequel to the original movie and I appreciate how much they connected this season to both films! I am hopeful for a season 3 especially because this season ends with stuff left on the plate!
I'm just glad Randall is back
Ye
Season 2 was a huge step up compared to season 1
I never watched the trailer, but the moment Tyler was struggling to get jokes with the donuts in S2E1 with Ben I knew he was likely going to go back to scaring, liking it, but then coming back to Ben and not wanting to scare anymore. Fully bringing him around to laugh power.
the series was not terrible, there have been far worse spin offs that got downgraded to home release or tv series.
I would say the analogy does fit better since the whole plot of Monsters Inc was that kids weren't getting scared nearly as easily
The reason Sully can’t see boo is cause her door hasn’t been fixed yet. Remember how in season 1 the extra large canisters hadn’t been invented yet which were all over the place at the end of the movie?
Yeah, that makes sense, season 1 starts off a day after the events of the first movie
@@violetthebookcat7457but season 1 ended exactly at the point in which the first movie ended, meaning Sulley did get to see boo
The second season is obviously better than the first: the first is in fact just a base on which to build the sequel, with many characters each used to their best advantage, an interesting concept behind it and also the return of characters absent from Monsters University or, in Randall's case, Monsters Inc.
Up to episode 8, it was consistently very good, with episode 8 itself culminating in a breathtaking twist, but episode 9 and especially episode 10 simply don't work and almost regress the rest of the season.
The conflict between Scarer and Jokester is won by the latter, no surprises there, but Tylor was happy to work at Fear & Co: sure, the environment was not the best, but this is the culmination of his dream. Why does he suddenly decide to return to what he is not at his best? The moral issue, especially with the numerous POVs presented throughout the season, cannot be resolved in a simple black and white, jokester is good, scarer is bad.
But I think the biggest problem (and sadly one that I feel is never mentioned) is how this finale completely assassinated Johnny as a character, making him make stupid decisions or decisions contrary to his ideals just to have a plausible culprit.
The idea that Johnny and Randall could realistically work together is minimal, in the last Scare Games challenge Randall humiliated the entire fraternity and, if the series really makes us believe that legality is important to him, he would never have made this alliance, and even if we suspend this fact as true, I can't believe Johnny could save Randall at the right time (and frankly I don't even feel like I can justify it).
I know Johnny is not a pure character, and I don't even remotely expect you to think so, but he had moral values that made him a better character than a cartoonish caricature: Chet and Johnny have always been close, ever since university, and suddenly now Chet ditches him, Johnny has a family that he visibly loves, but which is never seen or mentioned in the finale, and even the character's intelligence is severely diminished, impossible for someone as smart as him not to have calculated the risks of mixing the 2 energies.
Really, a good season, an expansion of the world never seen until now, characters that are never useless and an animation quality that, although not comparable to Pixar, is acceptable, but this finale doesn't deserve to give Johnny such a negative send off
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE MISCHARACTERIZATION/USE OF JOHNNY!! i thought i was the only one who saw more than just a one-dimensional bully/antagonist in him. (warning: Johnathan James “The Jaw” Worthington III autistic character analysis coming up ⤵️)
Johnny is passionate about upholding his family legacy (and as you said, he loves said family), he cares about maintaining good grades, and respects tf out of MU and the scaring process and tradition. he intentionally humiliated OK, but also used the popularity of said humiliation to raise money for charity (yes, i believe him). he also took the “loss” against OK in the final scare game surprisingly well (he didn’t try to get back at Mike or swear revenge as Randall did to Sully, he didn’t even call BS on Mike “out-preforming” him! he didn’t look mad either, just shocked (he only looked mad when his own team couldn’t pull their own weight), but seemed to accept the loss to Oozma Kappa. he also offered Sully a spot back on ROR, so he doesn’t seem to hold grudges or be vengeful or a sore loser). his main flaw i feel, is that he can’t see the value in people right away, or at all until they can blatantly prove it to his face. he also canonically fears failure, which suits him very well considering the weight he is carrying with his family reputation, maining top scare student status, and being president of the top scare fraternity on campus (that’s a lot for anyone, holy frig).
this character has passions, goals, values, beliefs, things he cares deeply about, and hardships. you just have to be looking for it ;). not to mention he gots ✨ flaws ✨ (every good character has them, lol). Johnny’s pretty well set up and deserving of a redemption arc if you ask me!
in MU, Johnny was always very loud and vocal and kinda made a scene and was very obvious when he didn’t like someone or something (ex: Sully’s laziness, Mike and OK joining the Scare Games, Reggie’s slip up in the final challenge, Randall’s failure in the final challenge, Chet when he became too much at times, etc.). but he also cheered when his teammates were doing well, and did not even try to hide his flabbergasted expression when Oozma Kappa ”beat” Roar Omega Roar in the Scare Games. it was clear what he thought 100% of the time about everybody. bro was anything but fake, or as Tylor worded it, “a fraud”. Johnny was a jerk, who didn’t know he was being a jerk. that’s his main character flaw, he can’t see the worth in people (namely ones like Mike and Oozma Kappa) bc it’s not immediately visible/measurable to him. people like that don’t align with what his (and most people in their society tbh) definition of what a ‘monster’ truly is. and he feels the need to point that out to them every chance he gets bc he feels their determination is a waste of time and energy. that can always change tho. if /Hardscrabble/ was able to see it, Johnny Worthington absolutely can as well 🙌.
in MAW, Johnny acts like a good guy, a “changed monster”, but apparently has been scheming behind the scenes for… the entire show’s length? 😭 and has been covering up his tracks so no one suspects he’s up to something?? i HATE this. it implies that Johnny now KNOWS what he is doing is wrong, and that he just doesn’t care. that he’s just doing bad things for the sake of doing bad things bc…? he wants to stay in power? he wants to rule over monstropolis with Fear Co’s energy (stolen MI laugh energy)? that is not Johnny Worthington. at least not who i saw in MU Johnny Worthington. he was selfish in MU yeah sure, but never to /this/ extent. what happened to the care and passion he used to have for the art of scaring? or the love of continuing his family business? or the goal to make Fear Co be the best it could be (i say this would be a genuine ‘goal’ of his despite it not being taken seriously in MAW, bc Johnny always wanted ROR to be the best they could be, and i thinkkkk the same would carry over to the family business he inherited)? new Johnny hurts people, frames people, sabotages companies and people he formerly respected, is reckless, careless, genuinely stupid, and just doesn’t care about anyone or anything anymore? ok pop off MAW, pop off you really outdone yourselves with this one 😐.
i will give MAW credit, i do believe it is in Johnny’s character to not like change. especially when said change is trying to overhaul every scare business around (cough ✨ Fear Co ✨ cough ✨ his family business ✨ cough), which Johnny would perceive as a threat and/or more likely mock laugh energy and try to compete with it VERY OPENLY MIGHT I ADD THIS CHARACTER HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT. but being buddy buddy w Randall all a sudden, stealing from MI, being a complete idiot by not properly researching scream/laugh energy’s compatibility (bc it fu**ing explodes every time 💀), and even more of an idiot by sharing his “nefarious scheme” with Tylor after working with him for a day..? yikes 😬. either smth happened to him off screen to cause this awful shift in character, orrr the writers butchered him and tried to cover up the gaping head wound that is now his flanderized cardboard cutout shadow of a character, with a band aid that says, “if you can’t change who you are, just embrace it”. JOHNNY WOULD NOT EMBRACE BEING A CRIMINAL I AM NOT SORRY ✋😭.
i know nobody cares about Johnny from MU, but he’s actually my favorite character from the entire franchise (rare/hot take, i know 😅). i was super excited when i found out there was a series on Disney+ where he returns! you can imagine my disappointment. my favorite characters always seem to get butchered lol. guess i need to get new taste 🙃
edit: TLDR: my excessively long analysis of Johnny’s character throughout the franchise. Johnny was surprisingly a decently fleshed out character in MU, and was reduced to a shallow, generic villainous entity in MAW. (character flanderization/wasted potential essay.) also Johnny is my favorite character ^^
@@madnessmar I wasn't planning on writing a long commentary on Johnny's character, but you more or less managed to sum up my thoughts very well. I love Johnny too (he's my favourite character ever) and I really felt that this ending didn't do the character or the season itself any justice at all, which makes me think that the ending is clearly rushed and deserved more dedication.
But we can pretend that these last 2 episodes are off canon and move on!
@@supermarios0573
FELLOW JOHNNY FAN YAY HELLO!!
guy was peacefully existing the entire season just being a chill more mature version of himself (more charismatic now instead of smarmy, respectful to Mike/Sully even when Mike didn’t reciprocate, seeing Tylor’s potential and offering him a generous job opportunity/position/company car etc.). i like to imagine Johnny running FearCo staying one of the few companies that doesn’t switch to laugh energy in the end. they preserve tradition and offer an alternative to being a “Jokester”. it brings me peace of mind and a satisfying conclusion for Johnny, and honestly the whole Monsters universe (things shouldn’t have to be so black and white).
and yeah, the “lazy” writing i attribute to the writers wanting a big bad villain for the heroes to defeat bc MAW is a “kids show” and they didn’t want to make it “too complex”. (kids deserve good content too tho daamnit!)
Yeah, its needed. Cause I want more Monsters Inc and this show is actually pretty nice
Tylor made a better successor than any classic sequel film next generation character.
For starters, he's not a Gary Stu. He has flaws, and he isn't handed anything on a gold plate. He actually works for it unlike a certain orphan women from the Star Wars Universe.
New Monsters Inc. DLC just dropped.
"there will always be kids to scare" u sure about that buddy? it IS 2024 XD
But it 1999 in the world
I know monster inc came out in 2001
However in the film; there papers work showing it 1999
This is only a couple of week/months after so at a push it’s 2000
@@lucifersdevilishdetails. well if the world shows us anything it takes WAY more then 20 years to get off a rapidly depleating resource that is slowly killing us all.....
I found it interesting that the pixar name was missing from this show. So that explains some of why the quality dropped while cars on the road looked almost as good as the movies since pixar had a hand in it.
This season was AMAZING
I liked the season. Thought bringing back Johnny was a nice addition and I liked the aspect of Fear Co. I would have liked Tylor to meet Uzma Cappa though. I think it would have helped him with trying to figure out who he really is.
Not sure I liked Randall coming back especially with how he was brought back but I guess they needed someone else to be the right hand guy to Johnny
In the intro you kinda say that scream energy is renewable as well as laugh energy but thats not reslly the case lol. In the beginning of monsters inc they actually establish that scream energy is quickly becoming less and less renewable because scarier and more violent media becoming more mainstream (2001 movie moment i guess) is toughening kids up and leaving them less scared
I feel like this went from the monster in the closet premise to the imaginary friend premise
Well, that is basically what monsters became at the end of the movie.
The job offer thing was technically not true, because he got a job offer early on (around episodes 2 or 3, whenever Tyler went to that fancy restaurant), but my gripe was he was being wishy washy about it that he doesn’t actually go until episode 8, due to semi heavy spoilers lol
He did get a job offer to Fearco in Episode 3. Next episode he was being told by Val to say no because of a pinkie promise, and that's the biggest issue with this season's writing.
What I think Dazz was saying that it was frustrating to watch Tylor only work at Fearco for only 2 episode - ish, like the whole thing dragged on too long, and I can agree.
Here's how I would've fixed it
Tylor learns that his family is struggling earlier, and takes the offer. Episode 5 is where he works at Fearco. Though he has betrayed Monster Inc, MIFT, which leads to understandable feelings that we saw in the finale.
Starting from Episode 5 would actually fix the pacing problem of Tylor learning about Johnny's plans instead of the shtshow we got.
0:27 2021?!!!! ITS BEEN THAT LONG?!
My biggest disappointment is that they did end up making a villian that did cause every issue. It's such a lame "twist".
I'd prefer if he was just a character who did stick with scare energy. Having him be a villian feels so forced
So…A Dazzreview follower has a crush on Gwen Stacy and Bloom?
I found a lot of what this season showed us really interesting. I especially liked how Johnny felt like a FAR more compelling character than in MU. He's matured now and is just a traditionalist who believes in doing heat he knows best but is civil to his competitors.....
SPOILERS!
UNTIL THE LAST 2 EPISODES WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE MIDDLE FINGER ON THAT!
Bro why do you actually sound like one of the characters from this show, you sound literally almost exactly like Roger Rogers (aka Henry J Waternoose the third) just without all the pep in his voice
i feel like they should've saved this idea of a sequel for another movie, and that monsters at work should've been a prequel about what goes on at the factory during frightening frank mccay's era
This show is a perfect example of a continuation to a classic movie! Take notes Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate and Megamind Rules! you... Somethings.
I love the expansion of the world. I hope there's a season 3 so we could see more of it.
I legit thought the show got cancelled cause of how long it’s been since season 1
Animation takes time- err, I mean it did take a year for it to get greenlight for season 2 after season 1 finished airing.
Honestly I’m glad they’re at least trying
I like how they brought together the characters from the 1st and prequel
Honestly it could use a darker or deeper turn like how the 1st movie showed the dark sides of the corporation, or Sully’s relationship with humans
Is Waternoose still incarcerated?
Yes and
SPOILER
Worthington will keep him company for a while.
They are definitely setting up a sequel with all of this
I’ve got some ideas for season 3:
1. It isn’t clear if FearCo was completely shut down at the end of season 2, if they haven’t: they should make another Epsiode where they play softball but this time monsters Inc wins. This would be a great moment in the series as it would mark their very first victory in the softball games, which would be a very uplifting moment after loosing for 40 years straight. Continuing with the idea that FearCo hasn’t shut down, they would have to rebrand because of people wanting laugh power (most likely changing their name to LaughCo), they could have it so their new CEO makes a more gradual change to laugh power, as a contrast to Sulley ‘all in’ approach.
1 a) They could make it so that which ever team wins gets two tickets to Harry Hausens. This would mean that if Monsters Inc finally won: the episode would end in a very heartwarming moment with Mike and Ceelia finally being able to enjoy a meal together at Harry Hausens. Also the Epsiode could be a two partner with Mike trying to train the team to victory in the first part: similar to how he trained Oozma Kappa in MU. The second part would be the victory: they could even have Waternoose and Johnny Worthington spectating the game as they are allowed a day outside of prison and have Johnny making a smug/gloating remark about how FearCo have won all 40 of the past games and how Monsters Inc are so useless that they’re going to loose this one again marking their 41st conservative victory: only to then witness his company loose for the first time.
2. In Season 2 Epsiode 8, Mike claims he’s making a play called ‘New Canisters’ to hide the fact that the canisters were leaking (or so he believed at the time). It would be really funny if they made an episode where they tried to make a play called ‘New Canisters’ with Sully to direct and Mike to do his ‘New Canister Dance’. This would be a call back to ‘Put that kid back where it came from or so help me!’. As for the play itself: it could be about how the monsters adapted to the change from scream to laugh, and could also potentially be used to make meta commentary: in a similar vein to the Ember Island Players Epsiode from ATLA.
3. They could have some scenes with Waternoose and Johnny Worthington III, maybe see their perspective change whilst their sharing a cell in prison.
4. It would be interesting so see how Johnny’s family are coping as a result of his arrest. They will likely be dealing with the emotional fallout from discovering that their dad who they loved was actually a crook and will likely have to live with the stigma of being associated with him, in fact Roger Roger’s will have had to have dealt with that when his father (Waternoose) was discovered to be making a scream extractor: so they could potentially bond over that shared experience.
5. In season 2: it’s implied that the members of Oozma Kappa were able to become successful scarers, which means they will have to adapt now that laugh power is becoming a thing: Mike could train them up to be jokesters the same way he did to be scarers in MU.
6. Randall should come back as a villain.
7. They could show how Sully’s family (who were initially established to have a strong legacy of being great scarers) are reacting to the change from scare power to laugh power.
8. They could have an Epsiode where Mike finally does his paperwork on time but because of some unexpected circumstances: he looses all his paper work and has to scramble around trying to fix everything only for the episode to end with Roz calmly telling him that once again, he’s late, with her usual dry humor.
9. Mike could propose to Ceelia and or Tylor could propose to Val or both.
It was a total retcon. Season 2 of this series, just finally tied back to the original film. I feel it was well paced. It filled most of the plot holes that separated it from the film. Yeah, Randall being saved is a bit of stretch as humans were still seen as toxic. On top of that, the door was destroyed. But all done to continue their story.
okay with the door being destroyed yeah but it was from monster incorporated sides the person that saved Randel had his own company meaning he did have his own doors
@@andrewmcloughlin330 Oh yeah. This series established that, on top of competing energy companies. But, that also destroys some of the meaning behind rebuilding Boo's door, when they could have just acquired it elsewhere. Then again, Boo only had one monster assigned, given that she only drew one, being Randall. I guess the assigning of one monster per child, was also retconned with the establishment of multiple Scare Energy companies.
@@Honeneko. with that i think that can be made easier sure theres the possibility that there is multiple doors in other companies but i think with the amount of kids in the world at the time monsters inc was around they were able to have a lot of doors in multiple companies and its possible that with waternoose and randalls idea they found a young enough child whos screams they could extract they could have personally commissioned for said door
@@Honeneko.Boo might not only have one specific monster scaring her. It's just that Randall is the one wanting to kidnap her.
@@andrewmcloughlin330 It could be. Waternoose did shady stuff. And with the new canon of the world, you can say that he gained or bought sole rights to the door for that purpose. But then that would open up the world to exclusivity, which Fear Co. showed there isn't; Tylor encountering the same child he did at both companies. Maybe remembering wrong, but I remember monsters being custom tailored to the child in relative to their fears. But that could have been Monsters Inc. protocol.
Another contradiction of the show that messed up the prequel movie connection.
They mention Tyler beat many records of Sully when he was at monsters university?
Sully was a lazy barely passing by student.
Maybe! Silly did good on the test simulators that as Professor Nitely put it, easy bedwetter mode. Which way they established settings in MU that is not impressive whatsoever.
He was there less than a full school year to even establish a record plus during the scare games he was good but not great especially compared to scare that Johnny Worthington had done in the endgame. So if anything it would had been best to say he beat Johnny’s established records at M.U.
I really liked this show, I was just watching it to kill some time. And yeah while the first few episodes could get a bit birding but the climax with the last few episodes were really fun and overall I liked what they were doing. Excited for season 3
so Johnny Worthington is getting arrested for stealing copyrighted businesses?
Well I mean he is also arrested for collaborating with Randall, who is a wanted criminal after all so that’s still applicable
What if Tylor Tuskmon flicked off Randall and Johnny and cussed them out?
@@redshot5403 do you think Tylor Tuskmon could wear a speedo in his own photo shoot?
@@xXcircusticketnerd372Xx why? He doesn’t even wear clothes
@@redshot5403 oh ok. perhaps he likes Reese's cups?
[Spoilers] I was a fan since season 1 and I really liked the second one. It was better, for sure, because I like that they addressed that change can be hard and that the change from scream to laugh power was not as simple, which it shouldn't be. I mean, that's the way their world has been running. It was fine all these years ago, why change that. I love that they brought back Johnny, didn't think he'd be cheating, that's not what he did in MU, he bullied, but he didn't cheat. I did hope over the season, that Johnny had changed, but he didn't, but I actually still can't say I'm disappointed, because they had Chet change, after being fed up with being treated so badly by Johnny and Randall. I also like that they didn't make Johnny as someone he hasn't been in order for him to be the villain, it all felt pretty in character for him. The season is good, I'm just scared that, even though there is a good chance for season 3, there is something that happened in the last episode, that might have ended the show
Season 1 was kind of cruel to Tyler, I mean come on Why did they give him so many L's in that season?!
Any Kingdom Hearts references in this show? A call back from Mike and Sully mentioning Sora?
No
I can relate to feeling like a show is dragging out the and won't get to the good stuff. Like, come one. Give the people what they want.
Well, at least it's better than the new "Megamind" one, which we'll not be talking about.
To be honest, boo did alsi look like she was in a cocomelon video
Y'all know how adult animated television has that one style? That weird Family Guy esc style just more basic/lower quality
It feels like kids animation is taking that route too all having that super blended airbrush and shiny 3D. Kinda weird
Randall was probably the only good thing about this series since before they claimed he wasn’t going to return but then ‘surprise! He’s back!’ really caught me off guard.
Thanks for the editing error Dazz 5:12 5:13
I still wish we had a review of the movie called dinosaur.
a animated series about a pixar movie that wasn't done by pixar
cool
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command ring the bell? Okay true Pixar did the CGI openings
I think Monsters At Work is respectful to the source material.
I’m at least glad they brought back John Ratzenberger 😅, even though it’s probably not made by Pixar 😊
And they had a put that thing back where it came from reference
Well, he is an excellent villain, Randall and pretty much he’s actually a good better villain compared to Johnny and waternoose
You know the animation looks off for this show but this team could animate a killer Oddworld show with Abe
This season was good it was great i did like it..........
Expect for what they did in the last two episodes where they add that forced gay crap because this is current day disney they just had to do it! Because Disney has never learn no matter how much money they lost!
They just couldn’t help themselves 😭. Everything must be gay!
@@xanander4693 yeah because disney still have not learn yet
What forced gay crap? What happened
Who cares if they shoved the gay stuff? It was minor and didn't affect the plot at all. What really mattered was Johnny and Randall's characters being misrepresented.
@@moonquartzsbut why feature that content I mean we could have had Tylor being forgiven and apologized but instead we get lgbt
At least they did the original movie more justice that Megamind, or Monsters v. Aliens.
Both of those got ruined by their respective series'.
For Megamind..
1. Minion should have kept his name, it was his NAME and or species never his title.
2. Megamind had ZERO friends aside from minion and later Roxanne.
3. Roxanne and Megamind DID fall in love at the end of the movie, no "It's complicated"
4. Didn't use the Dehydration gun, or at least give a reason not to.
5. Doom Syndicate was better in the games, nuff said.
For Monsters v. Aliens.
Should have had another agency capturing aliens and competing for funding instead. To keep the Monsters v. Aliens aspect.
Gynormica shouldn't have had her powers drained, if anything have Dr. Cockroach build her a belt that occasionally shorts out.
It wasn't amazing, but I was watching two episodes a week as they came out and I think that helped A LOT. I think I would have been as frustrated as you if i had binge watched it.
I'm still not all that attached to the characters introduced in the series, (I still don't like Tyler much, but the rest are ok) but I think that the way they reintroduced a lot of the side characters from the movies were really cool, and I was actually genuinely impressed with how they tied it all together and even found a fitting job for Tyler at the end.
But yes it probably would have made for a better movie
Frankly, I think this new season is a massive improvement over the first one.
Okay. I think I was too harsh on the season when I thought it was unnecessary. Because seeing some older characters showing up is nice. Along with some more story additions.
I honestly think that this season was way more interesting and more entertaining than season one
I find season one was the perfect ending for the series. The second season started off strong but was getting weaker at the end. The last two episodes seems to be rushed and had a few plotholes in my opinion.
Also my opinion: the ending was too simple and not relatable to enjoy. Monsters inc and monsters university has these strong points the audience can relate to...even season one of monsters at work had that strong point. ( I dont want to use spoilers to ruin the fun on watching the series who hasnt seen it yet). Hopefull they dont do a season 3 or another movie.
Despite all that I still watch the series as well as the movies over and over again ❤
My problem is that Mike and sully never had anythang to do with Randal and never faced him Tyler just faced him with the help of the main characters that is all for me
For people saying the animation is bad, compare it to that of the first movie and you will find it is actually a little better.
It actually have a better texture and color grading due to the current technology
Johnny explains his donut jokes annoyed me. In the words of the Joker “If you had to explain the jokes, then there is no jokes”
No piece of media is "Needed."
Pretty much everything made us done because they creators want to even if there's social commentary in it
I came here bc I haven't seen this...and I NEED TO
Bc Randall...I love him
I don't know how canon it's this to monsters inc but in kingdom hearts 3 it's stablished that Sully Mike and boo go on play dates after work hours .
Kingdom Hearts isn't canon to any of the franchises used as the foundation for worlds. And even if it was, everything about it was contradicted by both seasons of this show.
@@OathOfTheThirteenth not entirely this Pixar worlds we're worked very carefully with the Pixar people . If not completly canon for obvious reasons . It's not too farfetch to think it has a little of canon ideas. Also this series uses the characters but is not Pixar doing it directly
@@kevinasturias607 Disney leases out its properties to Square Enix to create the worlds in Kingdom Hearts. The only involvement they or Pixar may have (besides sharing character models, etc) would be ensuring their characters are accurately portrayed in the story. Kingdom Hearts doesn't and cannot create canon for the IPs - Disney owns Pixar and Monsters at Work, whether Pixar is involved or not, is a canon extension to that universe.
Kingdom Hearts III contradicts Monsters at Work because it wasn't even announced when the game was released, and because it has zero influence on the lore of that franchise, Disney has ignored anything established in that world.
Tl;dr, Kingdom Hearts is its own thing and has no effect on the canon of Monsters, Inc. or any other property featured in the games.
Enjoyable show that shows respect to the original movie
Hope we see Scott in season 3.
I really hope this series isn't canon for Monsters Inc.
Why is that
Too bad because it is deal with it
