I've decided this episode is my favorite for the time being. This was ranked #2 on Crazy Gamer Inc.'s ranking of every episode in the show and it's the highest rated episode on EpisodeNinja (tied with Ghost Dentist). Plus, this episode is rated somewhat high on IMDb. So, I'm really not alone.
First of all, this episode is really unique. It's the only episode focusing on Captain Underpants and he's in it for most of the episode, which is something different for this show because he's usually just in it for the last 10 or less. It's also a bizarro type story which the books did something similar to, BUT this episode takes that concepts and branches off of it and ties it in to season 1 episodes like TP Mummy and JORTS which adds a bit of lore to it and makes it seem like they put more effort into this one.
Just like I mentioned in my review of Brainy Blabulous, the best episodes are usually the ones that start their plots off right away, and this episode also fits into that category.
It has a lot of unique/different locations like the school, toilet lab, jail, court, and Robe-O-Con. Which differentiates it from many of the other Captain Underpants show episodes as usually they only take place in one or two locations (like the school or the middle of Piqua for example).
About the actual plot? It's kinda like Spider-Man 3 in a way... because Venom. Captain Underpants gets framed by Splotch so he can control everybody with robes. This episode has themes of possession and mind control, which is really creepy in of itself, especially possession, it's one of the most intriguing things a villain can do in my opinion.
This episode combines certain elements of a bizarro story with a court plot with a bad@$$ showdown with so much more and makes it to where nothing is too much or too little. It's the perfect combination, especially how they tie in a sign change and a comic into the court scene.
Everything about this episode is just brilliant. I can't praise it enough and it's something I've been severely missing in a lot of shows with similar plots to this episode. It's such a breath of fresh air to be able to watch something and feel like there are no problems in the world for 22 minutes. This is the kind of feeling a lot of the good episodes in this show give me, it's sort of.. my escape from my depression.
I could go on and on praising every little part of this episode if I wanted to, but it really is just one of those where I can't do it justice by talking about it. It really is just that good, it's also why I haven't reviewed something like the movie yet, it's just that good I'm kinda scared to review it because I wouldn't be able to do it justice..
With episodes like these, I don't need to spell out the entire plot in one review, I can just say what I like about it because it really is just so good you have to see it. I'm really bad at making positive reviews, I'm much better at ranting, but I hope this might've convinced someone to check this episode out. Thanks for reading this silly little review of mine.
