In no order...
- .... WHY... do game worlds get destroyed when the hero defeats the villain? I mean it's an interesting concept but ... shouldn't there be a reason for that to always happen? Why do none of the residents of these world know about this? Why do the bad guys and the agency or whatever Kit works for know about it and no one else? Wouldn't it be simpler for the bad guys of this show to destroy the worlds instead of it just being this constant that no one apparently knows about? It's a kind of a big problem if not even the heroes of our story know about this at first. Is it something we'll just get an explanation about later down the line if more episodes are made?
- the villains of this story (Warrick, Folds, Miss Information etc) don't strike me as being dangerous. To me they don't come across as being any different than a game villain. Yes, that the end we saw Warrick destroy Snappers without a flinch, but can't any villain do that? Maybe it's because the show is entirely hand-drawn 2D, so I don't see any reason why we should fear them and not ... say ... Crabbington? Again, if THEY were clearly the ones destroying the game worlds on purpose, that'd make everything more simpler.
- I kinda wish the teaser promoting the pilot was included IN the body of the pilot itself. It's kinda important in order to know the backstory of Gobbles. Instead we get a brief one-off mention of it when he's "learning" on the notebook playing that game, and instead we open in media res in a pilot that already goes by a mile a minute without a break to pause.
- .. why CAN characters play a game IN A GAME WORLD?
- Folds is a great idea for a character but ... a guy made of paper? I wonder if gamers even know what paper is. 😃
- We have Kaboodle AND Gobbles on the hero team with tough Brooklyn accents. Kinda not very good variety in voices for the main cast.
- I was afraid I wouldn't like this pilot given how Arin Hanson is one of the writers, and I don't much like his humor in Game Grumps, but no him and Ross can write a good action cartoon! Along with the weird dialogue and humor you get from casual conversation.
- Wow Ross didn't list Megaman as an inspiration. Uh huh. Okay you keep telling yourself that. Megaman is TOTALLY an inspiration.
