I just don't get why this series is rated so highly. Say whatever you want, call them die hard stans or bots or whatever. The point is, I just don't get it.

I'll start with this: I love the original She-Ra series. Yes it had a small budget and was rushed out but there was a magic to it. The designs were great, the animation, while limited, was still good and interesting to look at. You can tell who the characters are, the stories were actually pretty decent. Even the filler episodes were fun. But it went dark a couple of times, from the horrors of slavery to families being kidnapped and all-the show was only held back by a lack of cash and time, but they made up for it with some serious passion. A lot of that still holds up, even with the low animation budget.

This series... Exact opposite. More money to work with and time apparently... But there was NO talent involved-or worse, actual talent blind sighted by a crew more interested in insulting both the audience and the original creators. Not a good start. After watching this series, I can say without irony, I hate it. I can sum it up in one word: BORING.

Though if you want an in depth analysis of this show, I recommend the YouTube channel MJTanner. They sum it up perfectly as to how and why this show's story, characters, plots and arcs just don't work. Covering each and every episode.

If you like this show, more power to you. I just couldn't stand it. There was way too much focus on shipping characters, unhealthy-straight up DANGEROUS messages of relationships (No one should try to be like Catra and Adora in this show... Or anyone really), plots that go nowhere, stories that make no sense, the characters themselves were annoying and you can almost feel that it's a mean spirited vision that made this disaster.

Say whatever you want about the original series, at least it had passion, at least it had a vision, at least it had actors with voices that stand out, at least there was some kind of vision. At least. There. Was. EFFORT.

This show, pure garbage.

This is one of my favourite episodes. It shows how much the parents care about both their kids and their health. Simply looking down at scales and saying "Oh man" is something many of us relate with. We all want to be healthier, we all want to get fitter. How did Bandit and Chilli do it? (Mostly Bandit in this case) They did workouts with Bluey and Bingo, in a way that they were playing games.

How is that offensive? That is both so very wholesome and inspiring.

This episode shows that parents care about their health, they want to do their best for their kids as long as possible. How is that offensive, let alone insulting? You know what, I'm just going to say it. Whoever complained about the "offensive" first minute, you are a problem to society. Why do I say that? Because that means you're upset that people want to get healthier, even healthy. That is an eye opener, not an insult or "fat shaming".

This episode inspired me to do better, particularly that first minute. Since I plan to become a father one day, you damn well bet the original version of this episode I will keep close to the chest.

The first Angry Birds movie was just boring and annoying, despite having some good ideas and I will admit, that one joke that actually was really funny, Terrence this massive red bird and that's all I'll say, just YouTube clips of the guy and look up who voiced him. Otherwise, I couldn't stand it.

Angry Birds 2... Complete opposite. It was funny, it was cute, even endearing at times, despite the occasional toilet humour and even that had a few good punchlines. The voice acting was very good, the characters were likeable, the story was solid, the plot well placed... Why is this movie good? It came off the heels of a rather weak movie. It did not need so much effort put in to it, but I think these writers and directors wanted to have a career after this so they decided to beat Illumination at their own game-Entertaining because of artistic vision, not formulaic corporatism (Which by God I hope the Mario movie is not victim to that.)

I don't know what else to say other than give it a watch. You don't need to watch the first movie to understand what's going on (thank Christ) as they do a decent enough job of recapping the previous movie and enjoy the fun ride.
