The Review: Justice League Dark Apokolips War

 

Justice League Dark Apokolips War 5/10

Over the years I've watched a lot of animated DC movies. They used to make the best ones and were far better than the Marvel ones. Over time these movies changed the art style and made stories that actually connected to one another. This one, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, was an okay movie. This could have been an entire season of a show but they squeezed a lot of characters and stories into ninety minutes so all of it felt very rushed. Basically Superman gets a head sup that Darkseid is planning on taking over Earth and since they have a warning they should attack him first. They don't know that someone is spying on them so Darkseid is watching all of this like “We'll see about that, bitch.” The entire Justice League heads out and get slaughtered immediately by these Parademons that are crossbred with Doomsday. How? Don't know. But imaging flying Doomsday's. They are beaten pretty easily and the ones that aren't killed are in hiding or enslaved by Darkseid.

The Review: Doom Patrol Season 2

Doom Patrol Season Two 6/10

Full of spoilers. I finished the second season of Doom Patrol. I normally cover each episode but since I watched so many in clumps I am gonna just talk about the characters and how I felt about them by the end of the season. I broke them down into categories of good, okay, and ugly. This season was a roller coaster. I rated this one lower than the previous season because there was a lot of time wasted on some uninteresting characters or some characters, by the time the season ended, were right back where they started and any character growth they experience meant nothing. Some story aspects were straight up just forgotten about. CK told me that there is a third season coming and that shit better be incredible every single episode to make up for this one. I almost don't care if it continues or not. It made the same mistake that Umbrella Academy did in its second season where I can only watch people fuck up with no progress for so long.

The Review: Doom Patrol S2E4

Doom Patrol S2E4 “Sex Patrol”

This episode had so much weird shit. Just when I thought something was strange a minute later something else would happen. This starts with a flashback showing Niles with Dorothy when she was living with Danny The Street. Even though she looks like a little girl she is old as fuck and Niles keeps treating her like a kid. I thought when she lived on Danny that she was partying down with everyone else. Nope! Niles had her underneath Danny all by herself and her imaginary friends. Candlemaker is getting stronger and keeps wanting her to do the opposite of what Niles says. She always ignores him except those few times when she makes a wish and crazy shit happens. A lot happens and I'll try to keep it in some form of order.

The Review: Doom Patrol Season 2 Episodes 2/3

Doom Patrol S2E2 “Tyme Patrol”

Full of spoilers. This show continues to be insane in the best ways possible. If you aren't watching Doom Patrol because of any preconceived notions you need to cut that shit out. This episode shows what Dorothy has been up to since we know she is Niles' daughter but not why he hasn't been taking care of her. We go back in time where she is being used as a circus sideshow freak along with her moose/wolf/bear creature and Niles is watching in the crowd. Last episode we just saw the aftermath of the carnage. This time we see it from Niles' perspective and the shit was honked up! Besides that furry monster mauling folks Candlemaker is destroying others. He spots Niles and gets all up in his business but doesn't kill him.

The Review: Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 1

Doom Patrol S2E1 “Fun Size Patrol”

I learned from my review of Doom Patrol during the first season that this is not the type of show you can cover in one post. I am going to cover each episode for this season so I don't sound like a lunatic talking about farting donkeys and such. So yeah. This episode starts when they escaped the roaches' body from another dimension after it was making out with a large rodent and are stuck being tiny. The team saved the Chief's daughter Dorothy. Larry makes them very tiny breakfast which made me laugh. The team is still pissed off at Chief for revealing that he is the reason they all had accidents that gave them their powers because he is obsessed with immortality. Larry is also trying to make a formula to turn the team back to normal size.

The Review: Doom Patrol Season 1

Doom Patrol 9/10

This will have spoilers. How do I even begin to describe Doom Patrol? I first heard about this show about a year ago and had zero desire to watch it. I have heard of the comic and knew there was a robot dude and that was it. I knew nothing of the other characters or anything. But CK watched the first three episodes and really liked it so I gave it a try and I'll be damned if it isn't up there with Legion as one of the best superhero series. There was only one aspect of the series that stopped me from giving it a 10/10 and I'll get to that.

This is about a team of heroes that isn't really a team so much as a bunch of various misfits with special abilities. None of them get along with each other and can barely control or understand the things that they can do. By the way, if you are going into this thinking this is a cute show it is not. There is cursing, gore, and a donkey that farts messages. See? I can not explain why you should watch this other than to say if you like the suggestions I make in series and movies then you should check this one out. I know that we are filthy with superhero shows right now like The Boys and The Umbrella Academy but this one is very different than those and better than Umbrella Academy which kinda shit the bed during the second season.
