While I do love being a 90s kid I feel like I missed out some of good 80s cartoons. I was born in 1990 so I remember watching some reruns of 80s cartoons. But I never came across Jem. I never heard about it until joining here and Small Lady talking about it during a livestream. XD
I watched the trailer of the movie and my god it looks terrible. Again never saw the show and knew nothing about it, but I knew the movie has nothing to do with the show. I was right! I went on Wikipedia and read the show's plot. It sounds awesome!! A girl rock band that kicks butt? Hell ya! So why isn't the movie basing its plot around that? Instead we're getting a typical rock band movie where the lead let's the fame go to their head and they forget about their friends and family. Also her band members will be left in the dust. Bleh. It's been done to death and if they went with the show's plot it could have been refreshing! The movie looks it wants to be a Hanna Montana wannbe.
So now I want to watch the show and I will blog about my opinions here! Everyone is feel free to join me! Even those who have seen the show. Beware of spoilers I don't want to tag my opinions.
You can watch it here
^ This is the only place I could find that had the whole show. But it makes you turn off adblocker. -_-
I really hate sites like these that do that. If anyone can find a better place that doesn't make you do this please let me know.
Episode 1:
The intro is okay, I really don't like it when theme songs scream the title of the show over and over.
As for the episode itself it's pretty good! I love the characters and I loved how Jerrica just basically took charge throughout the whole thing. There are some girly things in the show, but it's not in your face like I thought it would be. I think the only thing holding back it back is the animation, but it's the first episode and it's from the 80s.
The da music. It's really good! I was please with all the songs throughout the episode. I like how they list the name of the song and the music videos are fun to watch.
One thing I found odd is that it starts in a flashback? I'm glad we get to see how the band started, but why in a flashback? Is the whole show in a flashback?
Episode 2:
God this episode is filled with action! Fire, car chases, giant plow, bombs, run away yacht? Holy crap!
This show is jammed pack!!
I'm enjoying this show. It bothers me that Misfits haven't been thrown in jail for almost killing people. I would press charges if I was Howard.
Oh god, Rio... first off why does he have purple? Second the show is going to tease the viewer with him finding out Jem's identity? Oh, geeze.
The show is getting stronger! The cliffhangers are killing me, but I can see why did it. To keep the kiddies interested.
