What is the obsession with making your cartoon characters swear? I can always feel the feeble screen writer peppering their dialogue with f-bombs to try and heighten the situations or comedy of their cardboard characters. But having weak characters bark obscenities in an act of realism and empathy just comes off as crass and stupid. The point here is that your f-bomb needs to be earned. Much like "Kill Team Kill" none of it was earned.
The colorful sleek saturday morning animation is really gorgeous. Most of the blood drenched gore on screen is rendered like a cocaine fueled GI Joe for the parents. The antagonizing robo-beast is even a relatively fun design. However, a weak story that does little other than shuffle our vapid all american bros to the next bloody cartoonish death is emblematic of this meandering 13 minute short.
There are no real stakes besides the lives of our stock action squad, but the only loss here was such brilliant animation wasted on a DOA concept.
