Alright I took the time to watch every episode in this series and I can say with every whim that there are very few things wrong with this thing. Like seriously, the writing, characters, animation, and humor are just top notch. It all feels so unique, especially the humor. I just cannot be started on it, it is just SO good. It feels comparable to the Simpson’s and could be better than adventure time, which is insane to think about. The think the main aspect that really drives the show, however, is that unlike other children’s entertainment these days, it helps the audience feel mature. Even though the majority of the audience is generally younger, they never seem to have the need to dumb down anything about what what it is trying to go for. This really makes the show great, because they don’t follow the norm of absolutely terrible trends like troom-troom or some modern Disney movies. The writers knew that kids are smarter than they think, and because of this, it helped them care about what they were doing and created something absolutely fantastic, just like other kids shows back in the day like the DCAU. It is clear that we need more things like gumball that cover this kind of entertainment, because it helps kids feel special in a sort of way. It doesn’t make them feel dumb, and overall, it bring much more of an appreciation to the older generations as well. Anyways, I can wait until the movie comes out to see what they do with this whole thing they have created. 8.5/10

TDLR: This movie was very fun and engaging to the end. I wish the movie went on longer to explore all the things it was trying to show, but it is still fine nevertheless. Review with spoilers: This movie could probably be the best monsterverse film made so far. I think this was a very fun movie that had a lot of interesting ideas for the origins of the Titans and the creation of mechagodzilla. I think that the biggest problem that the movie has is it’s runtime. I think the movie should have been 3 hours long, because we did not get to see much on the origins of the Titans and how ghidorahs skull was able to master the body of mechagodzilla so fast, not to mention how he was still conscious as a skull in the first place. I also think the villain is cliche as well, and we did not get to see much on what he as a character is. What we got is “big bad business man, big business bad, we must stop big business or they will control the world or something”. It just is not very engaging, and I think that he could have been a greater threat if he was given more time to develop as a character. Now let’s get the the good parts of the movie. This has some of best fight scenes I have ever seen in a movie. You had Godzilla grabbing kong and pulling him down to drown him and kong shoving the bone of his axe down Godzilla’s throat, just like he did in the original 1962 version. Best part about it is that both of the monsters win in their own type of way. Godzilla actually defeats kong (like he should have) and kong tears apart mechagodzilla with his axe and decapitating it while Godzilla is just sitting on the ground doing nothing. It’s a really fun, engaging movie that anyone can really enjoy, the right kind of stupidity that is embraced in other Godzilla movies. I also really like how they utilized the deaf girl in the movie. We get to see her perspective on her surroundings, and why she is so attached to kong and her abilities to communicate with him. All of the things that could have been used for a deaf actor were met with great respect for them. This use of a character is probably the best thing the movie had to offer in my opinion. Anyways, I think this is a pretty fun movie with some things rushed but did very well in the thing it wanted to be, a giant monster movie with a deaf character being utilized in very amazing ways. I think they have to make more monsterverse movies at this point, because if they don’t it would make zero sense why they were building all of these things up just for nothing to happen. Overall, I give it a 7/10.
