The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot

I hope it's not sexisim. It's probably sexisim. But it's a great episode. Not one of the best, but still high quality Sunny.

I've been a Sunny fan since the beginning. I've seen every episode. Almost every episode in the first 6 or 7 seasons was absolute gold. There's a been a lot of hit or miss in recent years, and it's kind of downhill. This episode, though, was great. It was a perfect commentary on the ridiculous nature of some of the remakes and reboots currently being done. It may have been the best episode since the original "Gang Beats Boggs".

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.

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.
