Slugterra (2012)
How is this as good as it is?
Contains Spoilers
This show I'm sure was from someone thinking about bullets being called "slugs" and figured "why not make them living slugs with different powers?" So we end up with Slugterra i thought this show was going to be awful the premise is so bad a 100 miles under the earths crust is a world with humans trolls mole people and others living not knowing of the "burning land" other than legends.
Eli's father is the peace keeper of this place until he disappears and Eli replaces him some years later. The action is good the humor is not too bad the animation is very good for a TV show. This was made to sell toys it is so easy to see but instead of it being cheap and lazy writing they did a great job with what they had.
The slugs when reaching 100 MPH transform into powerful versions of themselves able to freeze, burn, cut and many other things Out of all the things in the show that are so unbelievable i find it funny that the part that bothers me the most is if these slugs fall the transform. When i see this i think about how the terminal volatility of a slug shouldn't be 100 MPH. Yes out of all the crazy things in this show that is what bothers me.
This show should be awful but with good writes, animators and actors this show is pretty good. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but i would for many who are bored.
All Hail King Julien (2014)
One of the best Netflix shows for all ages
Spoilers ahead
This show is great. It starts with Julien becoming king and the antics he gets into after that. Such as an episode where the whole kingdom becomes addicted to coffee. Or where Julien stumbles onto a place for a party he thought he wasn't invited to and accidentally destroys it. He blames it on a giant gecko instead owning up to it. To cover up his lie he asks an inventor to make a mecha gecko for them to capture but it goes wild so he must help stop it. Showing that his lie put his friends in danger and he helps stop it.
The animation is spot on, the humor is perfect and the writing is great. I recently saw some episodes of the Netflix Kong King of the Apes and that show is sub-par to this one on every level.
The ending of season two is a cliffhanger making me eager to see season three.
This show teaches that even a self centered person can have a good heart and does what is right when the time comes. It shows that lying can lead to more trouble than its worth. It also teaches that trusting in others like family and friends will help you in life. But it does all of this without shoving the messages down your throat like Kong does.
This show is is amazing for anyone to watch where Kong is a mess. I would love to see Kong fixed with some help from Dreamworks who do a great job here and How to Train Your Dragon.
They just need to release season three for me now.
