Star Wars the Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 1: The Bad Batch Review

The long-awaited final season of Clone Wars has arrived. Disney keeping with their weekly release

model instead of releasing every episode at once, is interesting. We got the first episode, "The Bad

Batch" which introduces to us to the experimental clone squad of the same name. Each one be

genitally different than your average clone.




Wrecker the bruiser of the squad possess incredible strength demonstrated by being able to flip over 

a gunship all by himself. The squad leader, hunter possess a heighten sense of sound and smell. He 

supposedly more reliable than any map. 

The next member is their sniper, Crosshair who possess superhuman eyesight that allows him to hit 

targets further away than any sniper. The final member is Tech, who is the engineer out of the squad, 

he possesses a gift for technology and increased intelligence. Overall seeing the squad in action was 

joy to behold because together they are able to wipe out platoons of droids alone. I really enjoyed the 

the gunfights in this episode and it reminds me of why this animated series is so beloved by all 

Star Wars fans. This episode also sets up a plot point that could lead to the return of a popular 

character that we previously were led to believe was dead. I won't spoil this part, in case anyone 

reading this review hasn't seen this episode yet. In the end, I really enjoyed this episode and if the 

quality of episodes keeps getting better than we are in for a treat.


 I will give this episode a 8/10 in terms of enjoyment.

Glitch Techs Review

Glitch Techs a Netflix original animated show created by Nickelodeon is a love letter to gaming. It is a show about two teenagers named Five and Miko who are hardcore gamers that get recruited to a Men In Black like-organization that fight against game glitches instead of aliens. Like MIB, they have cool gadgets including the ability to mind wipe people which is straight up from MIB, not to say its a bad thing, in fact, it totally works with the premise of the show. Initially going into this show I thought that it would be more gear towards kids, but although it does appeal to kids there are a lot of things such as references that people who grew up playing games in the 80s & 90s would appreciate that kids now wouldn't know about it. For instance, one episode is entirely dedicated to Castlevania and throughout the series there is chock-full of references to all types of games not just Castlevania such as Dragonquest, Pokemon and Metal Gear Solid. The writing i...

Glitch Techs Season 2 Review

Glitch Techs is awesome and I couldn't praise it enough. If you haven't watched the series yet, go watch  it now. Regardless, before you read any further, spoilers await you if you haven't watched season 2 of  Glitch Techs. Season 2 of Glitch Techs is an improvement in all aspects besides the environments and   diversity of settings, this is disappointing considering that the first season had the most amazing  game inspired environments such as the Castlevania dungeon and Dragon Quest inspired location.  Besides that the animation is cleaner, the writing is better and more character-focused. This season gave a lot of development to Five, Miko, Mitch Williams, and Phil. It also introduced a new character that is fairly important in terms of fleshing out the world of Glitch Techs. This character is an illegal  modder named Ridley who introduces the concept of hacking Hanobi tech and creating their own  glitches which will surely be important for fut...

Kipo Season 2 Review

Image
Wow, Kipo season 2 really took what was great about its first season and took it up a couple of notches, making an even greater season than it's first. Season one took it's time world-building and introducing us to our main cast of characters. It also most importantly set up questions that would be ultimately be answered in season 2. One of the best parts of season 2 was the payoffs to the questions set up by the first season. From Kipo's powers to Kipo's mother to Scarlemagne's relationship with Kipo's parents and much more. Not only did we get big payoffs to a lot of questions but we also got huge payoffs in terms of character arcs. Kipo's arc this season is very derivative of the chosen one stereotype where the main character has learned to control her powers in order to save everyone but has to overcome mental barriers to do so. This in itself is very common in coming of age stories but the way that Kipo's arc is tied to learning he...
