Ok, first off, I cannot stand this show. But my 2.5 year old kid loves it. So we watch it, because I love my son. That said...
They stole Pee Wee Herman's manchild bit, even the too small clothes (in this case the pants where as Herman's entire suit was 1 size too small) and the bow tie. He uses a higher pitched and childish voice, as did Herman. He dances around in a silly childish manner, as did Herman.
Yes, he entertains my son. But teaching kids to paint on walls and run around rambunctiously is not really a good thing. He runs around a zoo, around outdoor playplaces in areas that you are not supposed to run. Sure, he says "And dont run here" but he is actively running and bouncing around. He teaches them to throw fruit and other foods into a pool, like a busted open watermelon. And as someone with a pool, that is a stupid thing to teach kids.
He wears fake glasses, and while it would be good to teach kids that glasses are fine. Even my 2 year old told me his glasses are fake. And since my wife and I both wear glasses, and both had to start wearing them in or just after high school... he will probably need them and we want him to see positive images with them. But when a 2 yer old calls them out for being fake....
As a parent, I actually love most childrens programming. We watch Mr Rogers, Sesame St, Bluey, Paw Patrol, and several more things... and this. And this is the only thing that sets me off like this. I find Meekah less offensive, he just irks me greatly.

This movie made me think. It made me cry. And it made me hope. The always awesome Viola Davis led the cast and her range was all there. John Boyega was great, I did not recognize him he folded himself into the role (and I have watched the Star Wars sequels many times. Lashana Lynch is great as Maria Rambeau in the MCU, but as Izogie she shined and was just wonderful. The story was engaging and powerful. There were no bad actors in this movie. Thuso Mbedu as Kwami was just fabulous. I could go on, but every one in this movie gave it there all. This proves that if you write movies for black actors, GOOD movies. They will be amazing and it will just work. And no, it is not entirely historically accurate, but it does flow with several historically significant facts.
While it was not a blockbuster (it was not intended to be one) It did respectable at the box office. It gives people of African descent, especially women and girls; role models to look up to. To have pride in watching. To be able to look at the screen, see a movie full of actors who look like THEM. To see them triumph. And that is always a good thing.
