Power Players

Sure the plot is not that original but I think that it is a fun series with a bright future Yeah there are some things that rip off the toy story like the barbarian bear Also the fact how Axel discover the toys it is not that original.But I think that this can become the new face of Cartoon Network a face that was destroyed by things like Uncle Grandpa or Teen Titans Go but it is what it is In the end I can say that it is a good series that can be developed in a very good franchise

When I first heard about the show, I wasn't really interested in it because I thought it was another cheap Cartoon Network acquisition. Later, I started hearing some good things about it on my Twitter timeline, so I decided to check it out. To my surprise, I quite enjoyed it.

This show is basically Ben 10 + Toy Story, as it involves toy superheroes, and also involves a human kid named Axel who can turn into a toy. The premise is super cool, but I feel like the "show about amateur heroes with a mix of action and comedy and a slight story arc" has been done better by the Cartoon Network original, Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.

The writing is snappy and the characters work off each other really well. Each of the characters have cool powers and weapons. It does borrow a lot from other Man of Action and Zagtoon properties, namely Ben 10 and Miraculous Ladybug. Axel looks and sounds like Adrien Agreste from Miraculous, and he can secretly turn into Action Axel like how Adrien and Marinette can turn into Cat Noir and Ladybug, respectively. Also, Axel and Zoe's dynamic is similar to Ben and Gwen's dynamic, as they're always bickering but care deeply for each other.

Perhaps if this show didn't borrow so much from Ben 10 and Miraculous Ladybug, it could be better and would be more popular, as this show isn't exactly the most popular show on CN right now, but at least it gets a decent time slot on Saturday mornings. Nonetheless, I enjoy it and hope to see it improve sometime soon.

Another one of cartoon networks failed cartoons. Power Players is stupid, doesnt make sense and its just boring in the first place. Animation is decent, but the show just doesn't make sense.

This show should be cancelled.

This piece of work is playing endlessly on cartoon network. It is a straight forward action hero cartoon that is not funny, silly' smart or endearing. Who okay'ed this?

Seriously, what was the point of any of this? Now I wouldn't say it's a bad show, I would easily say that is this is easily one of the most weakest shows I have ever watched from Cartoon Network. While the premise of the show is a bit interesting but again, I can't even tell what it is or what is not. The main character of this show is just a same typical gnary boy who wanted to do something cool and to me, it's just getting old. Power Players is boring, it's not horrible and also not anything cringeworthy, it's just mediocre. When Mega Man: Fully Charged is a weak show, but at least it's a lot better than this. If I want to watch an animated that involves action, that would be Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. I give Power Players a 5.3/10
