When I first saw bravest warriors I thought, "uuuuugh an adventure time ripoff, get some originality guys", but one Wikipedia search later I had found that the. Series was created by Pendleton ward, the creator of adventure time. Adventure time'a humor was already great but when it's put into a 5-6 minute format like this there's no breathing room. It's just well timed joke, after well thought out joke, after quirky, yet funny visual gag. I always loved Pen's art style but when watching adventure time I usually found that the budget given for the animation of the show never allowed for any truly impressive looking bits of animation (apart from food chain, a glitch is a glitch, and the 3d backgrounds in some recent episodes, but those don't really count because they were either done by guest animators or CG) but that's what sets bravest warriors visuals apart from that of adventure time's, BW's short running time and non attachment to a television allow there to be some truly stunning bits of animation contained within. Also, the fact that invader zim's creator, Jhonen Vasquez is a writer for the show is always a plus in my book. I'd like whoever is reading this review to disregard the illegitimate criticisms of those who gave this show a '1' and just enjoy my current favorite web-series.
... View MoreHere are MANY words to describe this piece of crap: Unfunny, overrated, retarded, dumb, foolish, idiotic, dull, imbecilic, lame, pathetic, makes me sick, terrible, horrible, and BEYOND STUPID. Besides, who the hell would be happy when a little creature gets fatter and fatter until he goes BOOM?! That's like, extremely stupid and extremely mean to be happy about it. And who the hell would want big butts, bigger than a black girl's butt (They do have big butts, therefore, it's not racist) and be happy about it?! That's so stupidly retarded. And I've could've sworn this show had porn. A 1/10 is very sweet to give this retarded, stupid, pathetic, and lame piece of crap. It'll take AGES for it to fall to a 1.9/10.
... View MoreBravest Warriors was a concept that originally derived from a 7-minute animated short in Nicktoons' Random! Cartoons – a series that also established Pendleton Ward's other show, Adventure Time. I never truly got into Adventure Time, but would occasionally watch episodes that I felt were the funniest and simply because I loved Ward's quirky, but simple art style. Given the two of them, I would say I probably prefer the concept of Bravest Warriors, but that comes as a personal preference. The original short was a lot more child-like in nature and was (at least to me) reminiscent to the toons of the '90s and early- 2000s, which is why I seemed to enjoy it the most. When I initially heard that a new animated webseries of this short was to be launched, I was more or less ecstatic. The first episode started out rough, though the story wrapped up cleverly. The minor vulgarity jokes in this episode felt out of place and generally unneeded, but afterwards, the show started to pick up more as it began to focus less on that aspect and more on the characters themselves. The humor, as well, improved and instead of the "forced" vibe I sort of got from a few of the jokes in the first episode (which I also felt was an attempt at being "edgy"), I found myself genuinely laughing at the clever bits in the episodes that followed. The hand-drawn animation is superb for a webseries – considering a majority of internet animations are done in Flash – and succeeds in creating a show that is on-par with what can be found on actual television. The character designs are more dynamic than in the original short. I felt that the stories didn't always end perfectly and felt too abrupt, but this is excusable, since the episodes usually only run for about 5-6 minutes. I feel this is targeted more at a teenage/adult demographic, but I also feel that children aren't completely exempt. Overall, this would likely appeal to fans of Adventure Time – as it shares similarities in both plot and humor – but I find that it was taken in a slightly different direction, especially considering the creators have more personal freedom than they would in a television studio. I really enjoy watching the episodes when I find the time and I am interested in seeing where the series will be taken. While it does have its flaws, I would say it's worth a watch.
... View MoreThis is everything that adventure time can't be. While continuing Pendleton Ward's odd lingo and vibe it is peppered with a perfect dose of nostalgic references that you aren't going to get unless you've been wonderfully cultured or you're over 25. The show follows a collection of space adventurers, children of a previous vol-tron meets justice league sort of team left to try and not mess up the galaxy as much as possible. Each episode is a self contained story though the characters develop slightly amongst the shorts, adding a light and easy to approach continuity. Especially with each episode being wrapped up in a 5-10 minute length that leaves you begging for more it provides and amazing laugh without spoiling itself or become unnecessary. I look forward to getting my you-tube subscription update every Thursday letting me know that a new episode is out and ready to enjoy.
