Can't Stop

If I wanted to see a music video I would've watched something on YouTube, this is a waste of a spot that could've gone to a wonderful studio instead we got this .. it's long for no apparent reason and the animation although some sections were cool was rather a bore and basic, no individuality instead opting for a realism style that doesn't add anything to the episode, they just chose realism to for the sake of it. The puppetry was cool but besides a couple of sections nothing was done with it instead it just there. Just like this episode, it's just there. Disappointing especially as a season opener.

Listen, I'm not saying that this music video is not well made, or that the music is not good. What I am saying is that as an episode of Love, death and robots, it fails. Might as well make a video of someone baking a cake, or playing volleyball. I don't understand why the creators included this in the new 10 episode season 4. It's a misuse of talent and creativity, and has nothing to do with Love, death and robots. For us viewers having waited a long time for a new season, there is disappointment and only thing on my mind now is I hope the other nine episodes make up for it. Hopefully they will.

As much as I love RHCP I didn't want this. I want to watch Love Death and Robots for the story telling and the animations behind it. If I wanted to watch a concert I'd go to YouTube, only reason why I gave 2 stars is for my love of RHCP, honestly it feels like a waste of an episode, all they did was just animate the concert and gave it to us as if YouTube doesn't exist or CD's or Vinyls don't exist. If they wanted a vanity project or something they could have use the animation style with a different story. Did they do this because they ran out of stories or what? Side note I'm more mad at the produces than at RHCP.

I'm disappointed with the first episode of Season 4 of Love, Death & Robots, as it failed to live up to its potential. "Can't Stop" felt like a straightforward recreation of a puppet show with CGI, without any meaningful depth or exploration. The episode's potential was wasted on a predictable and unoriginal narrative. A twist, such as the puppets realizing they're being controlled by strings and experiencing an existential crisis, could have elevated the story to something more profound. Alternatively, if the goal was to replicate the concert experience, the episode could have benefited from a more dynamic animation style, blending different techniques and styles to keep the viewer engaged. Unfortunately, this episode felt like a weak start to the season.

This episode is not the worst in terms of the technical compartment, in fact it is well done and I enjoyed it very much. The factor that makes it the worst episode, however, is that it has nothing to do with Love Death and Robots. There are no robots, there is no death, there is no love. There is no plot, no invented characters, no narrative twist. There's just the Red Hot Chili Peppers singing. This episode, ladies and gentleman, is just and only a trivial and very stupid music video that they could just as well have uploaded on youtube instead of putting it in the episode list of this series. I would rather have had one less episode than this.....
