Wolf King is the worst show I’ve seen in a long time. It clearly wants to be like Avatar: The Last Airbender (even having a knock-off “my cabbages” joke), but it starts off terrible, predictable, and shoddy, and doesn’t rise all that far from that.
Batman: Caped Crusader is incredible. A throwback that doesn’t seem redundant. Each episode of the first three introduces us back to one of the classic villains and manages to set up even more of them without detracting from the immaculate pacing. Somehow, these half-hour episodes are more engaging, better written, and feel more thoughtful than most one-hour episodes of a show I’ve seen.
This review of X-Men ’97 has a caveat to it. This review is not intended for fans of the original series. I haven’t seen much of the original series, and it’s been a very long time since then. No, this review is for the people who are aware of the hype and want to watch X-Men ’97—but don’t know if they need the background context.
Amphibia wants to make dark jokes and frog jokes, and it succeeds at both. Or at least that’s what the early episodes are about.
I don’t understand Centaurworld. It defies comprehension to such a degree I want to investigate creator interviews or production notes.

Kid Cosmic seems like the natural offspring of a few shows, and a few pieces of very prominent media.
Each is about two minutes, give or take, and—I’m betting for budget or time reasons—it has no actually voiced characters. There’s just “reaction sounds” that could have easily been taken from an existing movie.
Between Kipo and The Last Kids on Earth, the child-friendly apocalypse has become a subgenre. But that’s not a bad thing, especially when both shows have been stellar.
She-Ra is not only a good show, but perhaps a great one. It’s a child-friendly epic fantasy. Warring factions and ancient magic and large battles dominate its plot. It has a much closer feel to Avatar than Barbie, with good writing and strong characters.
Lower Decks Has Yet To Make Me Laugh The biggest issue with Lower Decks is that it’s not funny. Not at all. And, for a series supposed to be a comedy, that’s a brutal failure. You can tell where the show is supposed to be funny, where it intends to make you laugh, but it…
