I am currently writing a thesis regarding the importance of pacing and timing in shows, and my sample was Arcane season 2, and how it failed both thus causing the discourse online. And lo-and-behold (I think that's how you spell that) Wolf King shows up. Great poster, creative (though a little annoying at times) animation, and nice concepts. But the timing and pacing... It's as if pauses are foreign to them and they just woke up 5 minutes before school begins. It's very rushed dialogue wise, the plot itself is nothing i can critique yet, but the exposition dump is 2/3rds of the time so it's not looking good on the natural delivery aspect. but the timing, just pay attention to the mom dying, how it's just rushed and how the brother jumps to conclusions in an instant without much time for contemplation. There's also the classic "misunderstanding" tension which is a very rookie writer's mistake as it's one sentence away from the problem being solved: "Wait, I didn't kill mom.". Instead the character had a ton of pauses of silence, oh there's the pause, but why does it show up in the worst times possible T_T the show has plenty of potential, but the pacing and timing holds the show back a ton. Love the animation and story concept though. Update: I just finished episode two and I can't stop chuckling at how hilariously inconsistent the logic is and how "IN YOUR FACE" every emotional beat is. I feel like I'm watching something from Disney junior, brings back old memories XD. I feel like I'm being mean but I'm trying to be as honest as I can be with my response, because "the fall will kill you" combined with the two main characters falling onto a cart of oranges with "WOOD" crates mind you, lives to tell the tell, unscathed. And why did bear lady want to take down the wolf king when she knows and has been warned they'll both die from the fall. And the convenience that the orange cart guy from the opening of the episode is in the right spot at the right time is just hilarious. but that's the problem, this was felt hilarious, like the cabbage man's cart from avatar the last airbender who pampers the fall, but ATLA is a funny show with quirks and moments of intentional obvious comedy, the Wolf King has none of that, it has been serious in tone from the start, so a comedy toned beat in the story during a serious scene? yeah, i couldn't help myself but chuckle and update the review. looking forward to the next few episodes, as i'm enjoying this show as a comedy because I can't take it seriously, and i tried, but all those faults and the villain being so 2 dimensional mwhahaah evil, is the cherry on top. But if you want to discard my critique, just look at all the typo's and grammatical issues i have in this comment, I ain't perfect either so do what you may with my critique. 👍

I was cringeing, laughing, and wheezing the whole time! I don't know how they got the cgi to be so dramatic, corny, yet amazing, but I love it! They went above and beyond with the musicals and the action sequence, overly dramatic, a signature of bollywood... 5 overly dramatic stars!

poorly written show with a decent plot point but horrendous dialogue accompanied with a huge budget. The only reason I finished this show is so I know what not to do when writing a show. Horrendous.

Relatable to it's fullest extend and executed to it's finest reach! Incredible movie!

Spoiler Alert! Throughout the whole show I only wanted to see one thing.... Juan to lose! I mean he's on a different playing field from everyone else and he has the most background knowledge. Seeing him win is just... a aggravating and irritating. I don't care if anybody else won, as long as it's not Juan, I'm at peace. I really hoped Tyricia or Thiago would've won, cuz they have like the best character arcs and it just felt right if they won. Tyricia was irritatingly anxious while Thiago was saltier than the red sea, alas they've overcame those flaws and became likable people in the end. Still tho Juan shouldn't have won, and I'd pay a McNugget to see anyone else win other than Juan, his personality is just consumed by arrogance and self centeredness that I just can't help but to root against. Other than that, fun show, love the chef, and Cedrick is adorable when he finally opens his shell and embraces his emotions.

Watch it! I cried.... It hits home so hard it's hard to recover mentally from it.

the pacing is too slow, the dialogue can be cut by milenias, this should've been a 1 hour and 30 minute film for a 2 hour one. acting is good, action is good, but the story is not very efficient.

The show started out strong but ended so bland and horribly. The little girl and her magic powers is just ugghhhh DX we're here for Yasuke not some random little girl with overpowered magic. Action scenes are cool tho, but the story and music is horrible.

VFX: Invests millions. Action Scenes: Invests millions. Dialogue writers: Uhmm we ran outta budget. hey Rick, your kid got a B in English right? Can we have him write the dialogue?

state the obvious 100... this show is very annoying, the main character is just too ugh! I kinda wanted the main characters to die. I'm rooting for you villains!
