Raised by Wolves (2020)
Rotten Tomato In Wolf's Clothing
A generic, Sci-Fi themed show filled with unanswered mystery boxes ®, characters that hold important information to themselves for arbitrary reasons, and little to no actual explication of the world's rules.
Characters change behaviour as needed by the script, act stupid when something needs to happen, and are generally pretty clearly cliché.
By the end of the season, you will find out that the only reason this was greenlit is that Ridley Scott has a fetish with robots and gestation.
If you want a smart Sci-Fi story, try The City And The Stars by Arthur C. Clarke.
Deathstroke Knights & Dragons: The Movie (2020)
Deathstroke Expositions & Trops
Regrettably, the writing of the movie prefers to tell than show, in most of the conversations characters pause the movie to explain to the viewer something that could have been better integrated, and most of these times the other characters know the information already. Exposition is important and it is everywhere, in every storytelling format, but this movie is a good example of how to not do it.
The villain has an interesting character design, but he is poorly developed, with a horrible motivation to drive the plot, without spoiling it, you will find his reason for ruining Deathstroke's life quite laughable, and entirely his fault, it feels like an afterthought from the writer, added at the last moment, hurting the plot more than helping.
The animation style matches the theme of the movie pretty well, but it is sadly let down by a generic story that fails at any and every twist and turn.
I am not sure why the movie is so violent when it seems to be written for a younger audience, trying to make Deathstroke into a relatable antihero.
