Mechanical Arms #02 — Toilet Etiquette
October 10th, 2024
Just left that mess, huh?
Completely forgot this existed. Internalized it as a Friday show for some reason.
Impressions:
Not an improvement on the first episode. How many more times is the dude going to run away, and two seconds later, regret running away and change his mind? Because that's all he did last week, and all he did this week too, but continues to yell about it nonstop. Combine this with a whole lot of recapping how his magic pet arm works, who the two factions are, and very loud announcement of character tropes to explain what the jokes being told are, and it wasn't a very engaging episodes all around, especially with the girl jobbing to the baddie offscreen… on top of the baddie's power being "stands still and makes people fall over."
That's also ignoring the cheap dollar store earbuds supposedly being able to completely cancel facetanking sonic vibrations, which is not at all how the physics work on any level. A couple pieces of paper, some spit, jammed in your ears would have been more effective, even if they hadn't then forgotten that he had them in immediately and had him carrying on conversations. It's staying too childish for my tastes, and if the budget is going to continue to decline without any characters that aren't obnoxious, I'm not sure how much further I'll make it. We'll see how desperate I am after week two of this awful season ends though.
