If you like Robot Chicken, you'll like MODOK. If you hate Robot Chicken you'll hate MODOK. If you're in between it's a toss up.

I think robot chicken is fine and found MODOK boring. Other than the medium, there's also not really any similarities between the two shows.

I dont like Robot Chicken and it took me an ep or 2 before they got out of mimicking that show. And then it becamr legit good. Or at least funny/interesting

E: its rhe characterization that worked for me, and the fact that there is a sentimental core in the middle of all the zaniness

And also love the mundane observational humor about super hero living, which i guess is a robot chicken thing? Sort of?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I can't see Jamil doing the same kind of body transformation, she's been pretty vocal about body positivity. Her getting a Buff Marvel Makeover would be extremely out of character. I figure they're just going to make her Super Strong with no overt muscularity.
Yeah, let's maybe not put the lady who's been extremely vocal about her eating disorder issues through the Marvel "gently caress you, get swole" body torture routine, shall we? That would actually be great.

People are enjoying modok? It was really difficult for me to find anything to enjoy about this show

Vince MechMahon posted:

I laughed once in the first episode and didn't go back.
The first episode of MODOK is really dire, yeah. It's extremely trite and predictable and it sucked. But then the show actually figures out what it's doing and finds a lane that isn't "generic unfunny sitcom but with guy with a big head" and from there it just keeps getting increasingly self-confident and unafraid to go weird, big, and unexpected, and every time it does it gets funnier. Stick with it through at least the Mad Scientist Fight.

Ending's more than a little abrupt, though, and really at odds with the rest of the show.

I've watched the first two episodes and it's better than I expected if a bit saccharine at times. Sort of like maple syrup.

I do not expect I will watch it unless I hear some really rave reviews. It just looks way too twee for me to care about, from what the trailers showed me.

It's probably just a me thing, but I really just don't care what kids are doing on tv shows 98% of the time. I loved Avatar, but it was well written, and portrayed kids in a believable manner. I feel like a lot of shows use kids as levers for constantly doing dumb or cutesy bullshit irrespective of what a kid would actually be like. Adults are bad at remembering what kid brains are actually like.

My favorite part of this is that he *also* got a trainer (one of the Eagles' staff) to get fat, since you can't just eat a bunch of food, you have to eat the right food and also do bulking exercise.

My favorite part is that he mentioned his wife (sweet Dee from the show) liked it better when he was fat because he was in a much better mood.

Not to come to the show's defense (I don't care if you watch it, you do you), but it does have overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Also, it gets very dark very quickly. I would not describe it as twee and it is definitely not family/child friendly,

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Batman was a virgin till Talia mind controlled him, he is a sweet and pure, innocent baby boy!

It's a paradox, is Batman cool or not?

Because Dick Grayson definitely goes down and if Dick Grayson is cooler than Batman then I don't even know what's up anymore.
Unless they want Batman to be Asexual(which is fine, would kinda make sense even) there's just no excuse for this type of character assassination.
