The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot

It's a good parody and critique on female reboots of media that originally starred men. It wasn't a brilliant episode but the ladies of the show are always great, and Katlin Olsen is always hilarious.

But women can't win even when they're generally agreeing with an angry male audience. It hit all the topics and tropes of these kinds of reboots and basically made it clear that even women often don't appreciate the pandering and would appreciate their own things.

So the panning of the episode makes me think it often really does come down to a feeling that "the icky girls are trying to steal our things!" Even when they're telling you you're right they're still wrong.

Though tbf, I guess in the end it is a less funny version of a classic episode and the concept is very on the nose so it probably urks people more and it's what keeps me from reviewing this higher, even though I think that was the point.

This episode, as usual, is absolutely hilarious. It is always a blast to have an episode full of the recurring side characters, and they do not disappoint.

I mean i loved every character on this episode. Artemis' scheme was great and her lines about female empowerment by tea and rocks were absolutely top notch. Dee shines here and she is perfect on being the sellfissh prick that just wants to beat the boys at any cost. The waiter is great, i laughed my ass off with frank's t-shirt...and it has charlie's and mac's mom who is one of the funniest characters on the whole show for me.

I dont tend to give opinions on tv episodes but seeing this so unfairly rated kinda oblige me to do this. It is a great episode and what dee was always about: being the girl in the middle of the guys and the conflicts she had with that since the beggining. And all the secundary characters work and have funny archs. Really loved it.

Obviously the show works best when all the 5 main leads are there together. This episode was not as good as the older version but it was good. This was clearly a shout-out to movies and stuff which make a female reboot just cause of feminism and stuff and it turns out a flop. IMO, thats what IASIP members have tried to do. And the scenes with the Gugino waiter were pretty good, especially when Dee tried to blame him falsely for hitting her and discriminating her because she was a woman, which we all have heard and seen IRL. Would have been good if Charlie's mom tried some homeruns :) Hoping for some better episodes in the future cause this was not on par with episodes they have done in the past.

One of the few episodes in the entire series that just falls short of to the typical standard of quality that Always Sunny usually reaches.

I commend them for trying new ideas, and in some ways it worked well; but overall everything just felt off. A lot of the jokes felt forced, and the characters just don't seem to work as well together as the typical gang we're used to. The obvious message of "women are equal to men" came across as a bit too preachy, which is out of place for this show considering they've covered much more controversial topics without bringing out that same feeling.

Overall, this episode was alright. Some good parts, some bad parts. Nothing particularly special or memorable.
