X-Men: Lotus and the Steel (1996)
Great Wolverine character development
"Lotus and the Steel" episode of X-Men delivers a poignant exploration of complex themes with remarkable finesse, especially for a children's cartoon. The portrayal of Wolverine grappling with a lack of purpose and the weight of his traumatic past, compounded by the uncertainty of his memories due to brainwashing, is masterfully done. The episode delves into his struggle with anger issues, feeling empty inside, and the search for motivation, offering a profound narrative that resonates with viewers of all ages. Through compelling storytelling and nuanced character development, X-Men tackles tough topics with sensitivity and depth, making "Lotus and the Steel" a standout episode in the series.
Ahsoka: Part Three: Time to Fly (2023)
Nothing happens
This is just the definition of filler episode, after two rather mid episodes we are tortured with what feels like one of those boring vehicle missions in games that you don't want to play but have to if you want to continue the game.
First we are met with an unbelievably cliché training session that sees the character doubt herself and her master's methods even though she had already been a Padawan and probably knows how trainings usually are. Then we have an inexplicably long chase scene between the bad guys and the heroes where arguably nothing happens and the objective of the characters is unclear they want to enter the planet but first need to scan the place then they start being chased by the evil ships and eventually they go through the evil giant ring space station which ends up shooting them and disabling them to no apparent end since the ships that were following our protagonist decide not to act on the protagonists being entirely defenseless and then ahsoka just decides to fight the ships with her lightsabers and then the ships decide that instead of destroying the completely motionless ship they should shoot the Jedi standing on top of the ship who would die if they just blew up the ship but even dumber than that they decide that shooting her isn't enough to make sure they kill her in case they miss they are just going to crash into her which of course leads to ahsoka destroying the ship with her lightsabers. (THE ONLY METHOD OF ATTACK THAT WAS AVAILABLE TO THEM) inexplicably dumb. And pointless they waste an entire episode in them attempting to land on a planet.
(I have not watched clone wars however I am pretty sure some of the rules that the robot keeps obeying are made up and I have seen them being broken countless times in the movies even in the prequels)
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Oscar material
Once again like with the original there is amazing and innovating animation every detail is beautifully made and they suit the characters perfectly. The character development in this movie is amazing everyone had a time to shine and they really dove deep into Gwen and also Miles' parents we got to know these characters and their feelings a lot better the relationship between Gwen and her father is explained and we understand Gwen's background story a lot better so we sympathize with her struggle it is clearly portrayed how the role of Spider-Man can be a burden and take a toll on their personal lives and responsibilities, can't wait to see the third one.
