Disenchantment (2018)
Funny enetertaining
"Disenchantment" is definitely one of my favorite cartoons on Netflix. Its whimsical fairy tale humor is quite enjoyable. While it bears some resemblance to "Futurama" and "The Simpsons," it has its own unique charm. The characters in the show truly stand out thanks to their distinct personalities.
The story revolves around Princess Bean and her friends Elfo and Luci (a demon) as they embark on various adventures, leading to different situations and comedic mishaps.
Unlike the typical courageous king, Princess Bean's father is portrayed as overweight, foolish, and clumsy. Bean's quest for her mother takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that her mother is a wielder of dark magic.
What I appreciate about Bean is that she breaks away from the traditional princess mold. She's adventurous, independent, not seeking a prince, physically strong, and loves exploring with Elfo and Luci.
One memorable adventure takes Bean into Steamland, where she debates the existence of magic with a man who insists it's all powered by steam, devoid of any magical elements.
Sweet Tooth (2021)
Nice gus
Season 2 of "Sweet Tooth" was more action-packed and engaging compared to Season 1. It effectively portrays how humanity discriminates against the hybrid human-animal children and unfairly blames them for the virus, echoing real-life events like COVID-19. The show highlights the immorality of the antagonist, who chooses to harm these children.
It illustrates the harsh reality that these hybrid children must grow up quickly in a frightening world, resembling a post-apocalyptic scenario. The movie seems to serve as a reflection of a world in crisis.
One character, a female, falls in love with a boy who opposes the hybrid human-animal children, and she decides to distance herself from him due to her bond with Sweet Tooth.
It's astonishing how the antagonists in the film aim to secure their own survival by creating a utopia for a select few, but this plan is unsustainable due to limited resources like food and water.
Sweet Tooth, a half-human, half-reindeer character, is on a quest to find his mother, discovering that she is located all the way in the North Pole, Antarctica.
I highly recommend watching this series as it serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of dehumanizing others and the consequences of such actions on society.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Love the mandalorian season 2
"The Mandalorian" Season 2 was my favorite because Season 1 focused on backstory and had fewer scenes with Grogu. It primarily revolved around the Mandalorian warrior protecting Grogu from the Empire. Grogu's adorable appearance and his fatherly bond with the Mandalorian added a special dynamic to the show.
What surprised me was Grogu's choice to become a Mandalorian instead of a Jedi when with Luke Skywalker. I believe this decision was driven by his strong connection with the Mandalorian. Season 2 was even more thrilling with the introduction of Jedi like Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.
Throughout the season, the Mandalorian's character development was evident as he went from uncertainty about taking care of Grogu to a stronger, more protective bond.
I've truly enjoyed Disney's new Star Wars series for its advanced CGI and captivating storytelling, which I found better than some of the Disney-produced Star Wars movies.
There was one episode I didn't quite like, featuring Lizzo and another actor as king and queen characters on a planet. It felt out of place in the Mandalorian's storyline.
The series explores the diversity of Mandalorians across the galaxy, from traditionalists who always wear their helmets to those who don't. When two Mandalorians with different beliefs meet, they unite to reclaim their planet from the Empire ruler, Lord Megedian.
The show presents compelling antagonists with astonishing costumes, and it's surprising how the Empire copied Mandalorian weapons and armor. A poignant moment was when a Mandalorian sacrificed himself to battle the Empire's red-armored clone.
Grogu holds significant importance in the Star Wars series as one of the last remaining Jedi. He's like a baby version of Master Yoda and is destined to be both a Jedi and a Mandalorian.
A female Mandalorian who joins the Mandalorian on adventures becomes like family. Her character evolves from feeling purposeless to having a clear mission when the Mandalorian asks for her help.
The action scenes are spectacular, featuring thrilling gunfights and jetpack flights.
In conclusion, I highly recommend watching "The Mandalorian" Season 2. I'm eagerly looking forward to Season 3. This series delves into themes like fatherhood, resistance against the Empire, and the struggle to reclaim colonized planets.
