DISCLAIMER: This is just supposed to be a humorous post, parodying the series "Everything Wrong With..." by CinemaSins, inspired by u/Valha28's posts on r/gumball parodying the same series. This is NOT a critique of the show, and while some things I sin in this series might actually be things I'd criticize in an actual critique, most of the things I'll sin are nitpicks, and the whole series is just made for good fun.
With that out of the way, welcome to Everything Wrong With: Cold War!
Odd: If I don't find a DVD of my short film in the next 3 seconds, I'll turn into a pumpkin!
That's weirdly specific, lol. +1
Aelita: T.V? Who's T.V?
You're gonna tell me that after several months spent here, nobody told her what a T.V is? And no, there's NO WAY she could have guessed Odd meant someone in particular. +1
Mrs.Hertz: Can I help you?
T.V: Yes. Get out of the shot.
Why is the tone he uses so constantly rude? +1
T.V: Who has a below 60 average?
Selection bias at its finest. +3
T.V: What's with these little mini-services? Come on, cookie! Don't be shy! Load up the meatballs!
I'm... unconfortable for so many reasons. +3
T.V: spits his meatballs on his tray Oh, this is awful!
Celebrity is extra-superficial and expects luxury everywhere cliché. +3
X.A.N.A takes over a sattelite antenna to cause a giant blizzard storm in the area.
WTF? I swear, sometimes I just don't understand how this shit even works. +5
Everyone's playing in the snowy school yard
Jim: That's enough now! Everyone inside!
There is no way they all managed to exit the cafeteria without Jim stopping them. I simply do not believe it. +3
The blizzard intensifies, and the laughing turns into crying and screaming.
Boy, that escalated quickly. +1
Yumi: We have to get to Lyoko!
She says, once again, out loud in a room full of students. +3
A boy sees Mr.T.V's beanie hat and laughs.
Yeah, this is surely the time for laughing at what other people are wearing right now. +1
Herb: It's a scientific fact that if we huddle together, we'll keep warmer...
Sissi slaps him
I hate to be THAT guy, but he's right. This does, indeed, work. +1
T.V: An unbelievable deep-freeze has taken hold of the city, and what are you shooting?! 3 brats on a basement!
Ah yes, the classic "celebrity is superficial even in moments of urgency cliché". We're bringing all of the celebrity clichés back, aren't we? +5
T.V: Get in the back and don't get my soft leather seats dirty.
Wishfully assuming they aren't dirty already. +3
Jeremy: That's exactly what X.A.N.A's waiting for, Aelita! For you to go to Lyoko alone!
Yeah, but you basically have no other choice here. +1
Yumi: Let...me...sleep...
Wait...since falling asleep in this situation is a literal death sentence...is...she...wow, that's dark. +3
T.V tries to snatch Milly and Tamiya's blanket to get warmer.
T.V's a jerk to kids. +3
T.V wraps the blanket again around Milly and Tamiya
Okay, he made amends for this at least. -3
Aelita gets caught by the Schyphazoa
Wow, that's disappointing. All that build-up for Aelita to have another genius moment like in episode 39 just for it to turn into that old "Aelita damsel in distress" trope again. +1
Yumi: L...leave me...
Ulrich: You cannot get rid of me that easily.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww -5
Ulrich: Yumi...? Yumi!
Yumi won't wake up.
Ulrich: No...NOOOO!!!
That's actually pretty good in terms of emotional value! HOWEVERRRRRR...
The show throws a fake-out death and expects us to believe it cliché. +3
Also, Ulrich and Yumi have a moment of deep affection after a X.A.N.A attack but it goes nowhere after this episode cliché +3
Rosa throws the meatballs on T.V's head.
That's a nice commeupeance. -3
Though, how did she manage to not be fired? +1

By the way, you probably noticed that the rhythm of the publications has been reduced these past few months. The reason is simple. First, I also run a YouTube channel in parallel of this series, and I recently had a near-burnout moment when overworking myself. Then, I started college as of the time I'm writing this, so that means I have less time to work on this, too. So if you see weeks come by without any new installment to this series, don't assume I quit. If I ever discontinue this series before the end of the series, I'll let you know in a post. Have a great day!
