Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix

This show felt so fresh and unique in its visuals, character design and action. I won't spoil anything but it will manage to catch you off-guard at least once every episode. Each legacy character is "remixed" in a way which makes them stand out but just have enough to resemble the original.

I really hope we do get a season 2 as this is exactly what adult animation needs, shows willing to take risks and be creative by using the power of animation as a medium.

The writing is great and the political ideology has never been more relevant than today's world. I could not think of a better time than this for the show to debut.

This is a great start and they can build on from here to make something that will be a treasure for the fans.

I can't believe Ubisoft would prod such a small anime serie so based in every way, and yet have such a terrible decision making in their own studios.

Lost crown devs ? Fired.

AC, GR, WD, SW Outlaws ? Underwhelming.

For Honor and SIx Siege ? Losts to endless milking.

But then they prod this cartoon, and not only it's one hell shot of adrenaline, it's refreshing good stuff. Like a fresh pair of pants at New Year.

Also, i expected it to be yet again an opportunity taken by Ubislop to make money on Edgerunners success by trying to make a bad copy, but no, Blood Dragon Remix started production BEFORE Edgerunners, and it's two shows that plays in different sports.

Animation is so smooth and nice, the various arts styles are so well done, music is catchy... Scenario is braindead but it's so funny. The amount of references BY THE MINUTE without breaking immersion is an incredible experience.

Shoutout to Bloodbill studio ! Wish you luck !

Just watched the whole "show" and really wish Netflix and other services would stop chopping what essentially could be a 2 hour movie into 6 episodes of 25 minutes (including 3-4 minutes of intro and credits). But I digress, I thought this was a fun watch, thought it was funny and cool to see characters and lore from Ubisoft games mixed into a story. I know people will call it woke and really I am so sick of that word, it has lost all meaning to me. I enjoyed the show, having played a lot of these Ubisoft games made it more enjoyable. Oh one more thing: Bullfrog and Rayman steal the show, they were awesome.

Captain Laserhawk is the wackiest action-comedy alternate history crossover of video games I've ever seen, and it feels like its crossover craziness is comparable to Roger Rabbit and The Lego Movie; but this time the main draw is Ubisoft's many gaming properties.

So basically it's the 1990s here: Rayman is a talk show host, Assassin's Creed accepts talking animals into its syndicate, Sam Fisher is like a crippled Batman, and the United States no longer exists; and the Rabbids are gigantic monsters with peanut brains (probably).

This show is an interesting experiment for Netflix considering they're dipping their toes into ACTUAL video-gaming it doesn't feel like much of a surprise that they're trying to adapt more properties for film and tv too.

Of course the show begs this simple question: will there be a sequel series or Season Two in the future? Captain Laserhawk may be not to everyone's liking, but its zany fun and punchy action is a nice fit for the series and its intentions regarding parodying modern America as a paradox-laden maze of insanity.

Captain Laserhawk may become some viewers' 'gateway drug' to other adult animations on the internet, and hopefully this series isn't a one-off thing for Ubisoft adapting its properties going forward.

3.5/5 stars. 7/10 IMDb points. A fun watch that's uneven at times but never boring.

The show has its good moments. Action and plot twists are a delight to watch.

The show has strong positives in world-building and character development. I hope the pacing will be more streamlined in the future and not a random "plug a bit of everything" as it seems in the first season. The follow-up seasons (if happen) definitely deserve a chance to be better than the first one, given the show solidifies what it wants to be.

As for the criticism: Some characters are too out of place, e.g. The leader of the Eden Army is just too comedic and it doesn't fit well into what Eden represents.

As a person who recognized probably all the Ubisoft characters in the series and did play Far Cry "Blood Dragon", I feel the addition of many was often too stretched and unnecessary. I heavily doubt this show will be made canon, so plugging Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed represented by a frog-assassin felt to be just for the sake of cheap fan-grabbing audience, and even there it's done so cheaply that it felt rather repulsive than "a nice touch". It's far more crude that "Arcane" or "Cyberpunk" adaptions of their games.

"Nice touch" was a dedsec logo. "Nice touch" was an inter-dimensional species design. Maaaaybe, a name "Pagan Min" of one of the characters. But the rest was obviously made because "we have dead/dying franchises by Ubisoft, let's add them somehow into the show. I don't care how, just do it", and it feels by the viewer.

The scenes where the animated characters were turned into humans were on the boring side. I'm not entirely sure what was the purpose of that. Actually, no, I straight up don't get why would they do it at all.
