I remember the North by Northwest-esque episode where the one clone discovers there's a day zero exploit in he and all his siblings MINDS for the order 66 and tries to investigate/blow the whistle being pretty good.

Ignorant Hick posted:There is noticeable improvement around the midway point of season 3, but anyone who considers it something worthwhile for adults is kidding themselves. Probably a good show for the age group, but I regret sitting through the whole thing. Why wouldn't it be worthwhile for anyone who wants it to be? Even children's entertainment can be fun for all age groups

The first season is actually pretty good, and the second season starts really strong but ends badly. Season 3 is a mixed bag with a good start and a great end, and then Season 4 just sort of faffs about while 5 is terrible and 6 actually had some okay stories and some truly awful ones.

It's a nice show for Star Wars fans of all ages. But if you skip a Jar Jar episode you won't miss anything.

Even children's entertainment can be fun for all age groups I'm saying that if he considered the first few episodes to be too juvenile for him then he probably won't get anything out of the rest of it. I've enjoyed Pixar movies and stuff like the new Samurai Jack season until it took a nose dive in the fourth episode, it's not like I just dislike anything aimed at a wider age group. But I honestly don't know what an adult sees in that show. Like, I guess if you can will yourself into liking whatever you watch, cool, watch if you want. But I don't think most people over the age of 15 are gonna get much out of it. And lol like I was going to sit through any episode that focused on Jar Jar.

omg chael crash posted:https://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/05/the-essential-clone-wars-episodes-every-star-wars-fan-should-watch/ Skip Deathtrap, R2 Come Home and Lethal Trackdown. They're pretty bad. The Umbara trilogy is fantastic. Ignore Voices, Destiny and Sacrifice altogether unless you want an even stupider addition to the Force than the Brother and Sister manifestations from Season 3. Most of the others on the list are okay to good. There's a few that are really dumb on there, but they rely on your tolerance for Darth Maul's resurrection to wager whether they are good or not.

I thought most episodes were pretty great except for the all droid plus frog guy arc. Except for the very last scene there was not a single good thing in those episodes.

MonsterEnvy posted:Those episodes are good. The Yoda episodes do the Gollum routine immediately after they did an episode with Sifo-Diyas doing the Gollum routine. They are crappy, and explaining that the Force is dictated by a Father, a Brother and a Sister and a bunch of floating carnival masks was a terrible idea. Jedi Knight Luigi posted:Remember when they changed Korriban to Moraband for no good reason? Oh there was a reason. Lucas thought that Korriban sounded too much like Coruscant and thought people would confuse the two, so he renamed the planet known for the tombs of Sith Lords to "Dead Planet", aka Moribund, aka Moraband. And of course, Dave Filoni is one of the biggest yes men to ever work for Lucasfilm, so he made the change without hesitation. Really, the reason I dislike the later seasons so much is because they utterly fail to capitalize on any momentum started in the first three seasons. The episodes where Ahsoka goes on the run from the Order because she was framed are super frustrating because the show spent next to no time developing her relationships with characters other than Anakin. So when they realize they needed a "close friend" to be the one to betray her, they chose Barriss Offee. Who hadn't had a speaking role since season 3 where she had a two second cameo. Plot threads get mashed together with no cohesion because they needed to wrap things up, so you get out of left field nonsense like Darth Maul becoming lord of the Mandalorians, to an episode that exists solely to write the Nightsisters out of the show because they have no idea what to do with them. And the utterly bizarre idea of mixing the Nightsisters and Darth Maul and Savage together in the first place. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Nov 1, 2017 |

There are good, bad, and absolute trash episodes throughout. I think it's on a generally improving curve, and it gets a little less kiddy as it goes along (showing people getting killed is pretty rare in kids TV, Clone Wars has some bits where heroes execute people, people tortured to death with electricity, flamethrowered, or bisected by a murderous door.) The show is always goofy and simplistic, but as the budget inflates it sees a marked jump in quality. In particular, Later on they start to indulge some pretty fun ideas with the anthology format. There's an arc that does a Kaiju movie. An undercover cop in prison arc. Dirty dozen style mercenary adventures. high fantasy stuff with witches complete with cauldrons. It goes all over the place. The dialogue is clunky poo poo from beginning to end.

It's like the animation version of those funko dolls that barely resemble the likeness they're going for in this ovoid, dead-eyed way. I mean I realize the whole reason is that it's probably quicker and cheaper, but that comes with a serious trade-off in dynamism and visual interest.

The animation definately lacks panache (some space battles aside) but at least the almost woodcut marionette style to the characters is a look. It's a polarising look at best, but it's an actual style. For true blandness, you look to Rebels.

I always considered clone wars to be primarily the character story arc for Ahsoka as much as anything. With the occasional dumb Jar-Jar episode.
