It’s just sight gag after sight gag. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. It’s like a live-action Woody Woodpecker cartoon, which was fine when I was 7, but is shallow and boring now.
Why is everyone raving about it? What am I missing?
For me, it’s not that it’s fallen out of style. I truly don’t understand how adults can watch that genre. It was never meant to be funny – it was meant to appeal to the same thing in your brain that’s engaged by car crashes, but as a child. Back in the before-times, we also had engaging media, and things like Woody Woodpecker appealed to people in the same way TikTok shorts do today.
I liked it when I was the age it was aiming for, but it wasn’t ‘art’ by anyone’s stretch of the imagination. Neither was H R Puff n Stuff or Blues Clues. Maybe I’m just too old to appreciate it?
e: I appreciate most things, though, so I don’t think it’s that. Seeing all the 10/10 reviews, I feel like everyone is in on some joke.
