aight I actually had time yesterday in theory but given I went to bed on a non-work night at 8 in the gott dang evening I guess I didn't |D but now I'm gonna start this here shit
episode 1 is absolutely fucking delightful holy shit
did I need wade whipple the show, of course not, who cares about wade, but this is wonder-fucking-ful so far
the fight choreography so far is on point and things are just so funny??
music choices on point even if I'm gonna get real sick of the warrior
"ohhhh knuckles is hardly in his own show!" bitch halfway through this show and he's still def the main character?? co-main anyway but he's in this shit a lot??
stockard channing win some more awards ma'am
like, given [motions to the world] terrible timing of things, but it's one of those nothing to be done about it just sit back and enjoy it things
introduces knuckles to judaism and also to the concept of prostitution nbd. this is great. everything's wild
WHO CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT OF THIS EPISODE
HEAP EVERY REWARD ON THEM HOLY SHIT
hey anyway cary elwes rules this show rules anyone who doesn't like it can suck my big fucking bowling balls
learning episode 4 was by one of the lonely island guys is like oh this explains SO MUCH
also tkp saying the bowling was more exciting than 70% of the prime fights. oof. she's right and she should say it.
also I very much sat up and took notice when the buyer was talking about how he worked for gun before it was called gun, that it was a shadow ops group led by robotnik. which is very curious bc as far as we know, gun was founded after the events of s1 by commander walters
like it's always been apparent that walters gave robotnik a lot of autonomy to do as he pleased to a point, but given he famously isn't fond of working with his inferiors (everyone), him having some kind of team he was in charge of is an interesting detail
also the buyer's got a whole mcu mysterio bent about it, like pitching ideas and making designs for inventions (possibly even in-use badniks?), so like. was this a team he had from a distance to do a lot of the heavy lifting and dirty work? or was he actually working closely (for him) with others for a time?
I saw a fuckin symbol on the wall behind the buyer and I kept thinking it seemed familiar but I could be crazy. there was also part of me that felt like-- I mean "roboticist" gives it away, yes, but I was kind of hoping for a second that when he said he worked for robotnik he might've meant the other one lol
robotnik leading a team like here's your task, go do it and never speak to me again
i guess maybe robotnik's "gun" wasn't much of a group anymore when robotnik was gone so walters repurposed it and gave it a new name or something
[matpat or markiplier voice] THE LORE!
meanwhile I really feel like there's a lot of inability to be nuanced about a depiction of a jewish family on the internet, who coulda seen that coming
