Ditocoaf posted:Archer Vice was a good idea, executed terribly. It's like, "yeah, these characters could totally work in this different scenario, especially since there's room for a similar 'mission' structure". I still don't see how the premise "a group of secret agents" doesn't allow the writers to change the scenario every loving episode if they wanted to. Archer Vice was like smashing a magic 8-ball with a baseball bat: why take such drastic measures when you can gently shake the stupid thing until it gives you the answer you want?

The first season of Frisky Dingo was (kind of) about a supervillain working to destroy the planet. The second season was completely different, but also awesome.

For the sake of trying something different? The Archer Vice premise of "a group of high level drug dealers" should have been equally as fertile ground. It just wasn't. It was a bad season but I don't feel they did anything wrong in giving it a shot, just how they ended up trying to execute it.

The "core concept" (heh) of Vice was pretty confusing to me. I don't know why they were working so hard to smuggle cocaine into south America when it would be far more valuable to the cartels in the United States, since that's where it gets the highest price. None of it made any sense.

None of it made any sense. They weren't. The idea was to get financial backing from the cartels to sell the coke in the US with the idea being that since it was already in the US is was easier to distribute. They only brought some with them to sample.

Part of the charm is that despite all their fuckups ISIS still gets poo poo done occasionally. In fact, most of the fun is watching them bungle through something and still come out on top somehow. With Archer Vice I don't think they ever managed to come out ahead on anything, they were getting ripped off constantly, or their own ineptitude caused them to lose the coke. It's no fun to just watch them fail over and over again.

The amount of movement in the animation is pretty impressive. It's weird to see "Archer" look so fluid!

Archer and Conway's fight was so fluid and smooth. The quality of animation has drastically improved, one of the pluses so far on the young season.
