Aaron's Review: El Tigre-The Adventures of Manny Rivera

I…have no problems with this show. No seriously. This is straight up one of my favorite shows. I liked it as a kid. So, when I rewatched it as an adult, I figured my opinion would be lowered a little. Nostalgia goggles and all. I am so happy it still holds up. Guys, Gals, & Non-Binary Pals, this is Animated-Aaron’s Review of ‘El Tigre-The Adventures of Manny Rivera’ !Set-up! Explained as a part of the intro, Manny Rivera is the son of superhero ‘White Pantera’ and is the grandson of super villain ‘Puma Loco’. Thus, he’s constantly trying to be a hero but is tempted to do villainous things. Or, he uses tactics a villain would in order to stop other villains. Either way, the show is about him going back and forth between being good and bad. !The Story! There is so much creativity put into these 11 minute A & B stories. Manny is either trying to live up to his father’s respectable reputation or enjoy being like his crime loving grandfather. There’s an epi...

Aaron's Review: Legend of Korra season 1

Guys, Gals & Non Binary Pals. This is Aaron’s Review of The Legend of Korra (season 1). ! Background! The show is a spinoff/continuation of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’. Korra, the next avatar after Aang, moves to Republic city to learn air bending. However, there’s a terrorist group called ‘The Equalist’ who want the non-benders to have power and believe benders need to be taken down. So, Korra must deal with a new life as well as a mysterious villain wanting her to be a broken human for simply being the avatar. ! The Story! My main problem with the story is just how the show adds things in. Granted, the elements being brought in are fine, but as the show gets to episode 10, it’s a little hard keeping track of everything. It starts with Korra being introduced as a hard headed prodigy who sneaks on a boat from the South Pole to Republic city so that Tenzin, Aang’s son, can teach her airbending. She then gets in trouble by the police for destroying a street after stopp...

Aaron's Review: The Loud House

A Nickelodeon show that on the surface looks pretty generic. Which…I can’t fully say it isn’t. Some of the jokes and plot threads, you can see coming a mile away. With that being said, that is literally the only problem I have with this fun show. Guys, Gals, & Non Binary Pals, this is Animated-Aaron’s Review of ‘The Loud House’. !Background! Lincoln Loud is the only boy in a house with 11 kids. Yep. On top of being the middle child, the other children are girls. He has to argue, defend, scheme, and survive life along with them and the show focuses on their cartoony day to day lives. !Story! Okay, let’s get this out of the way. 9 of the girls get a fair amount of screen time as the show goes on. Number 10 is a baby so…yeah. Lincoln acts as the narrator for the show by breaking the fourth wall. Often giving a brief explanation of an aspect about his life at the start of each episode. Whatever happens in said episode is going to in some way focus on that. Him planning on ge...

Aaron's Review: Avatar-The Last Airbender

Every now and again, there’s something that changes how we do things. It’s basic knowledge. Change will always be a part of our lives. We just don’t know when it’s coming. Well, I’m here to review a show that changed my life. Guys, Gals, and Non-Binary pals. This is Animated-Aaron’s Review of Avatar: The Last Airbender ! Background Taking place in a fictional pre-industrial universe, the world of Avatar has four nations based on the four elements: Air nomads, Water tribe, Earth kingdom, and Fire nation. One day, the Fire nation attacked the Air nomads committing a mass genocide. This sparked a war that has lasted over 100 years. Two water tribe teenagers named Katara & Sokka find a child in an iceberg named Aang. This 12 year-old just so happens to be the last airbender and a being known as the Avatar. A person who can control all four elements. After freeing him, the three hop aboard Aang’s flying bison (yes, that’s a thing) and go on an adventure that’ll hopefully put an...
