For goodness' sake, Loud House actually made a good pair of episodes??? The other person reviewing these modern episodes is probably still gonna dislike this like he always does, but oh well. For some reason these two were really enjoyable for me. I always watch these episodes with my best friend Dylan, and he really liked them as well, just so you know I'm not alone.
Only Mime Will Tell ended up coming off as one of the biggest surprises this show has thrown out in a long time. The episode as it starts may seem similar to others like Stage Plight but is actually nothing like them. First of all, this episode's score and animation really compliments the mime aesthetic it's going for. Since Luan doesn't talk much in this episode, I actually end up liking her in it, and because they outright say that she can't text or write either makes it even more surprising as to where it'll go.
Which is the thing, this episode is actually not predictable for once. Yeah, it was obvious that Luan was gonna reveal herself and get it anyway. But like I stated in my InTODDnito review, predictability doesn't matter if the execution is good. This episode wastes no time in its structure and everything happens just like a normal Loud House episode, especially for how down to earth this one is.
My only issues about this episode are why Luan didn't just hand Lynn his phone whenever she got to the restaurant and why no one smelled the lobster, including Lynn Sr. I mean, come on. If you really couldn't tell that a lobster is rancid you're up there with with Joanna did in season 3 of Hell's Kitchen.
Other than that, I see this episode has nothing wrong with it, I love how original it feels and for once this is a plot that's not too common in modern media so it adds to its enjoyability. I'm also not usually a fan of Luan but I like her in this episode.
Mostly because she doesn't talk and that makes her less annoying, but also for how passionate she is. It was also shown in episodes such as Head Poet's Anxiety but I feel like it was done better here honestly because she didn't do anything to break the rules like she did in that episode (metaphorical rules referring to Poet's, her trying to sabotage Lucy). However I'd still say that episode is either on par with this one or slightly worse.
So yeah, I really don't have any issues with this one. I'm surprised to say but.... 9/10.
The next episode is actually one of the better Lucy episodes we've had in a long time. I usually don't like Lucy and the club because of how stereotypical they come off, but I didn't dislike any of them in this episode. Why? Because for once nobody was overwhelming and Persephone got a real part in it for once.
This is one of those episodes with a relatable concept, especially for children. I'm really glad they chose Lucy for this plot, because mostly 4th graders watch this show anyway. Worrying about failing a subject you're not good at? I'm sure everybody on the planet knows what that feels like. In this episode it's P. E. I don't know if it was just my elementary school, but we never had a big end of the year test that determined if we passed the year or not.
This episode feels like a better written version of episodes like The Loudest Yard and Haunted House Call. Unlike the Loudest Yard, Lucy actually succeeds in passing her exam. Which in this episode actually has a good payoff because of Speedy Edie's training.
The only thing I didn't like about this episode was the thing about Coach Pakowski turning into a lizard. But it's Loud House, I'm starting to not even bother critiquing it anymore. Also that I knew Lucy was eventually going to pass on her own. Also, the "liar revealed" moment wasn't even handled like other episodes. No Family Guy zoom in, no piano music. It was just "so you're telling you did this? Ok then" and she did it.
I don't know if it's just because I'm a little sick right now, but I really liked these episodes. 8/10 for this one.
Thank you for reading, sorry this review is shorter than usual. It's really hard to find material to say about episodes that I don't have much to critique about.
