Whenever they introduced the portal thing, I expected a couple of wrong guesses and seeing cameos of other shows and was kinda disappointed when they got it on the first shot. But even without portals we got cameos from Woody and Greg I'm gonna miss the Boonchuys. "I was your mother the whole time"

I hate to ask this, but when does this show get good? I'm a couple episodes in and it seems like a fairly normal show, but I've heard from other people that it's secretly really good. It just hasn't quite clicked with me yet.

So that was my exact thought until the finale of season 1. That's a longer build up time than I usually give shows, and honestly I had given up on it but my husband kept watching because he heard you had to give it until second season. I went from paying zero attention to "holy poo poo what happens next??"

Personally I didn't care for the pilot but by episode 3 I was all in. Of course it helped that I was watching them bunches at a time so even if there was a dud it's only 11 minutes and then on to the next. The best episode in season 1 is "Cursed!" imo. Hiro Protagonist posted:Is it good to just jump there? I mean you can, but there's stuff in older episodes that gets referenced. Like, "Toad Tax" is very specifically about Anne's relationships with people in the town so by starting there you're effectively skipping seeing what those relationships are and how they're built.

I just started the series not too long ago myself. Is the whole thing basically divided into two half episodes or do they eventually switch over to one story per episode?

It's mostly two half episodes with occasional (Season beginning/ending) full episodes. Pretty much if you see a full episode, that's a "poo poo's going down!" episode.

People get so impatient with episodic shows. Who cares that the plot hasn't kicked in yet in the early world building? That's not what those episodes are FOR. Some of the individual episodes might not be the best, but some will be fun, and they'll all set up characters or aspects of the world before big revelations happen.

Some of the individual episodes might not be the best, but some will be fun, and they'll all set up characters or aspects of the world before big revelations happen. Thing is, some of the bigger examples of this in recent years (Amphibia, Steven Universe) suffer from shallow & episodic early episodes but people recommend the shows to others based on their later story arcs. It's definitely a tougher sell to get someone invested in a show which is so uninteresting during its beginning. I'm usually a binge watcher and took me *months* to get through S1 of Amphibia (just a few months ago).

I initially bounced off the first episodes too. It was only after watching "Reunion" that I went back and watched from the beginning. Still, after re-watching from the beginning, I wished I'd stuck with it because it really does set up the characters to be people you care about.

Kinda disappointed that they don't have a new theme song now that they're back in Amphibia. But I get it, that costs money and making a new one for only one half a season is probably more than they can spare. Also I was super scared during Sasha and Grime's meeting that we were gonna get more backstabbing poo poo. Glad we're finally past it.

Yvonmukluk posted:It sure does. Just started Season 2 but I’m also aware of a few future details via cultural osmosis prior to me getting into the show (like Marcy being stabbed through the chest on screen and a big portion of Sasha’s character arc) to the point where I’m actually surprised at times that this is supposed to be a show for children (but then again, I’ve seen cartoons get away with worse in the past and it was watching a YouTube AMV containing some of those darker moments that actually convinced me to finally give the show a try in the first place) Overall I’m enjoying it (and Owl House which I’m watching for the first time alongside it) a fair bit Larryb fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Apr 2, 2022 |

Finally caught up, that certainly escalated quickly from what it started from and I really hope these girls make it out ok (especially Marcy). I do like that they still try keep up the humor though even though the show itself has taken a much darker turn as of late. Also I think this might be the first time I’ve heard Bill Farmer in a role besides playing Goofy (Brenda Song as the lead is also pretty good and of course Keith David is pretty much always awesome in whatever he’s in) Larryb fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Something kind of interesting with this show now is that Amphibia CAN'T be saved like you'd want to - Andreas has done so much damage to it it's going to at least leave permanent scars basically everywhere, probably for a very long time. Certain areas like the area around the former location of Newtopia are so badly devastated that even when nature starts to take it back, the landscape itself will be irreperably altered.

Hell assuming Marcy can be saved, even if they stop all this and go back home the trio themselves has changed too much during their time in Amphibia for things to just go back to normal again. As such, I’m very curious at this point to see how they decide to end things

I think you're overestimating the show's realism. After all, I'm pretty sure the Plantars' house has been destroyed multiple times and Frobo shot a hole through the Boonchuys' house only for it to be repaired the next week (and there's been plenty of other majorly destructive incidents that get repaired fast). Like sure, things definitely won't go back in an instant right after Andrias is defeated, but I feel like it won't take long (I suspect there will be a montage involved) to get things back to a rough approximation of a pre-Andrias (or I guess a pre-Andrias-heel turn) Amphibia. The more interesting thing will be to see how a post-Andrias world functions politically, since the monarch will be gone and fighting him is going to unite a lot of previously separated factions (like for example how we know toads in general used to look down on frogs)

I wonder who (if anyone) is gonna take charge after Andrias falls. The Plantars did make some friends during their time on Earth so them moving over there could be a possibility As I mentioned before, I’m also curious how Anne, Sasha, and (assuming she can be saved) Marcy adjust to normal life again after everything is over (maybe at least one of them ultimately decides to remain in Amphibia)
