I understood going in that this was going to be pretty soulless, but it managed to not be as terrible as I thought it would.
Sure, the premise is super meta and all these characters know that they're characters. They go through the standard Multiversus "look at all the characters we own" gag multiple times. Does the Matrix gag like three times, in the year 2021. The villains aren't all that interesting, and are basically the same as every "video game" based movie in the last ten years.
I didn't mind that, I could put that aside
But there was a moment that lost me
In the middle of the basketball game, they hand Porky Pig a mic, solely to make a Notorious B. I. G. Joke. He spits THE WORST VERSE I HAVE EVER HEARD. Man has NO flow and NO BARS. It's like an anti-drug PSA from the 90s level of "haha they kids these days like the rap, amirite?" out of touch terrible bs.
Then they DOUBLE DOWN ON IT AND SAY "HES GOT BARS". Absolutely awful.
I hope they cook and eat Porky for that atrocity.
