Clone Wars Season 7 Ep 11 "Shattered" Review

"All my Gawd!!" (Joseph Joestar), that was my reaction the whole time watching this episode. The

atmosphere amplified by the music coupled with the knowledge that order 66 was about to happen

gave me goosebumps and a great amount of anxiety that rivals that of a great thriller movie. This

episode starts off with Ahsoka saying her farewells with Bo Katan and walking into a holo meeting

with Windu, Yoda, Ki Ai Mundi, and Aayla Secura discussing the detainment of the Chancellor.

Everyone who has watched Revenge of the Sith should know at that moment that order 66 was very

close to happening. Seeing Ahsoka walking through lines of clone troopers while escorting Maul on

to a Republic ship was honestly making my heart go 200 beats a second despite me already knowing

that Ahsoka survives order 66. That is a testament to how good this episode was, despite already

knowing Ahsoka is in no danger of dying I was still very worried for her due to how tense and bleak

the situation seems to be. Hearing the exact scene of Windu reflecting Darth Sidious's lightning back

on him then Anakin striking Windu was a great touch that really showed the importance of that exact

moment for the story of Star Wars.

When the order occurs right after, seeing Rex succumb to Order 66 really broke my heart, but it was

so cool seeing Ahsoka deflect blaster fire from all directions and escape. Another really great

moment was when Maul thought he was about to get executed but he was struggling helplessly with

his restraints and the close up of his eyes really showed true fear. Seeing Ahsoka tell Maul straight

up that she was using him as a distraction and nothing more, was so cool because it really shows how

much she really hates him and how ruthless she can be. Despite this ruthlessness, we see that Ahsoka

tries to not harm the clones if she can help it because at the end of the day she fought and bleed with

these guys for most of the time she was with the Jedi Order. Seeing this contrast with Maul throwing

chunks of metal decapitating clones left and right, really showed the difference between the two. The

ending of the episode was bittersweet, with Ahsoka succeeding in removing Rex's inhibitor chip but

learning straight from Rex that every clone is under control of the inhibitor chip and are executing

order 66. Like the previous two episodes, this episode has different parts that make it so great but

regardless of that, this will also be 10 out of 10 in terms of enjoyment for me. This final arc really is

the pinnacle of the series and the level of quality is on a whole other level compared to the rest of the

series. It's not that all the other episodes of the series are bad on the contrary they are pretty good but

they really pale in comparison to these final episodes. I can't wait for the final episode but also dread

ending of such an amazing show.

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...
