Good Omens Season 1 Retrospective
Переглядів 194Рік тому
Thank you for the suggestion, RyleeBat! I'm sorry it took me so long to follow up on it. ^_^; This was a particularly tricky script for me to write. It's a lot more personal than I tend to get. But at the end of the day, it's still primarily a review of Good Omens season 1. I'd love to know your thoughts!

Merlin is my favorite episode ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving 2024! I also love Pokemon and it helped me make a lot of friends! I also love Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; the best Thanksgiving movie! Great video!
The fact that onion alone is on this is funny ngl
0:26 I certainly wasn't expecting to see BLOSC when I clicked on this video, but I was pleasantly surprised! (I love XR very dearly!)
Mi juego favorito de Ralph el demoledor!! Me encantaba lo de los carritos!!!
Ese juego yo lo tenía!!! Nunca me lo pude pasar por qué lo eliminaron
Solo recorde el juego así de la forma más aleatoria posible y aquí estoy reviviendo recuerdos
Also anime was already really big in America when these movies were released
You say frontier funny 😂
I’m pretty sure hurricane touchdown is canon
Hobgoblins for me was the worst. Dragged out exposition and strange directions.Heck I wanted to see the Hobgoblins kill one of the teens because of how unlikable they are. And why Amy wasn't concern about about her Boyfriend's safety only caring that he was strong for him. At least if she cared about his well being, her being controlled by the Hobgoblins would at least care about her. However, we do get some legendary segments with the Hobgoblins song and the Crow's PSA on Women.
His name is Davis. I ship Davis x Ken. Did Davis run into a pole in that one scene 😂
Even tho all the years keep passing i keep coming back to this video idk it’s just so enjoyable
The sexism tho 😂 all the men got these unrealistic dream job the either stayed at home or got stereotypes jobs and you'd think mimi would be the fashion designer but guess not its sora who never mentioned clothes not even now in 2024
My personal favorite short is Out this world from 1954. The one where a surprising square devil and an even squarer angel are entrusted with keeping track of salesmen. The Devil bets the Angel that Bill Dudley, the impossibly square and impossibly dedicated bread salesman, can be tempted away from selling bread. Needless to say the angel wins the bet. It was probably good for training salesmen when it was made but now it's only good for MSTing.
Beatniks I feel is another not so bad movie. A pretty decent idea with a singer having a criminal history and seeing that maybe his life wasn't good before he became a singer. Also Girl in Gold Boots has a pretty good conflict with Michelle realizing that her dream of being a dancer may not be all that's cracked up to be since she sees the dark side of her job and Critter choosing to either run or help Michelle out of her prison....still shlocky but pretty solid conflict.
Teenage Crime Wave was the one I hated watching the most because the entire second half of the film was an utter slog that you wanted to end early, but it never did, and when it finally did end, you wish it ended a lot sooner. It might as well be called "Stalling: The Movie". Mike and the bots' riffs barely saved it for me.
Two stingers that crack me up are “Johnny, don’t go, it’s too dangerous!” “I don’t care!” from Time of the Apes, and “I’ll be a CELEBRITY!! And SO WILL YOU!!!!” from Kitten with a Whip.
Still Daiken for me ahahaha
Always! ^_^
Honestly, throughout all of the Christmas party episodes, the whole team talks over and over about how surprised they are that Ken changed, but Daisuke says he doesn't see it. He isn't even surprised that Ken laughs so easily. It makes you think about the side of Ken only Daisuke sees....
I mean....in the Daiken christmas carol, they call each other BABY.
Eleanor Roosevelt is pissed! Joel, you magnificent bastard, I read your menu!!!
9:25 can confirm. According to someone I know; they went to a convention recently and met Brian Donovan (Davis' VA). When they gave him a DaiKen charm they had made; his face lit up and he exclaimed "LOVERS!" really loudly.
There is someone in heaven who's not hateful. Muriel.
Yeah, it's just you. I haven't heard any other reviewer complain about "recontextualizing everything."
I agree with you that the kiss was nonconsensual and that was problematic.
We have no idea whether or not Aziraphale and Crowley are genderless or sexless. It's canon that supernatural beings are genderless and sexless "unless they make an effort." We don't know if they've made an effort or not.
"We already have Aziraphale and Crowley. Do something else." I was semi-enjoying your review until this point. But as the video progresses, your annoyed, sarcastic, superior tone becomes grating. Why not just share your thoughts--why do you have to do the fake, exasperated little sighs, the pedantic lectures about story-telling?
These are my thoughts, and I am trying to share them in an entertaining way. It's true that some of my reactions were exaggerated for comedic effect, and that's definitely not going to work for everyone. I'm certainly not trying to speak for everyone, these are just my opinions. And I'm happy for everyone who got something out of season 2! I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't love it as much as season 1. Thank you for all the comments!
Your review, as it progresses, starts to sound quite lecturey and preachy, as if you can speak for everyone as you share your opinions and reactions. I never looked back at the magic episode in season 1 as "angsty" after watching season 2. Not everyone allows newer material to change the pleasure they took in earlier stuff.
Episode 4 I found hilarious as a parody of ubiquitous zombie films. Also, I think it has a lot of important moments in the development of C & A's relationship.
What was your favorite thing about how episode 4 developed Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship?
Regarding the Job minisode: the fact that C & A have to game an unfair system is the entire point of the book's and series's view of heaven. One main theme of the franchise is humanism--examining the highs and lows of humanness, but mainly the positives (it's quite hopeful theme) like compassion, imagination and growth. Those are the qualities that C & A love about humans. As part of portraying that theme, the book and series both emphasize how heaven is basically a cold, compassionless, empty bureaucracy. In season 1 in episode 1, neither Crowley nor Aziraphale can remember who started the French Revolution, which caused so much suffering to humanity. Heaven and hell act without regard to how earth and humanity will be impacted--they want another war, for example, which will kill all humans. They don't care; C & A do, so they stop it. So I think that showing the horrific effects of the bet between God and Satan, and C & A trying to mitigate them, is completely in character.
Those are some great points, especially about the theme of humanism in the story. I'm definitely interested to see how the story will develop that. Thanks for the comment!
I can't agree with you on Crowley being unable to be in denial after his talk with Nina. He and Azriaphale have been forced for milliennia to hide their feelings, probably even from themselves, for their own safety. They've only been free agents for a couple of years. It doesn't surprise me in the least that they haven't been self-reflective enough to realize their feelings for each other yet in that short time.
You know, that's an excellent point. I forget how oblivious they can both be. Thanks for the comment!
I feel sorry for NASA. Because after Mike broke the Hubble, NASA probably had to spend a fortune reparing it
Great list! Tom Servo is the GOAT!🏆
Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank apologized for making Joel and the Bots watch Manos: The Hands of Fate; And since they were the same people who made them watch Castle of Fu Manchu, that is saying something. Forrester and Frank couldn't even riff their way out of Fu Manchu.
Best for me was "It stinks". You could read his lips, he was really saying "It's shit".
The singing voice for the Mystery Man in Design for Dreaming was none other than Thurl Ravenscroft whom you may remember as Tony the Tiger.
not downlod
02 was my favourite series of a whole. 01 was amazing and set the foundation for future Digimon so I always find it hard to choose but, 02 felt like Empire Strikes Back in the sense we have established characters and can focus more on the enjoyment of the series.
garnet nearly fusing the the forced fusions of homeworld is so horrifying.
Instead of doing the 10 worst movies that MST3K has ever shown why don’t you do some of the best comments done by MST3K toward the movies that you say are the worst ones that’s ever been shown just not
Someone please bring this game back. I miss it so much
Im big digimon fan my favourite digimon tamer is sora and rika Digimon digital monsters digimon are the champions
I loved Overdrawn At The Memory Bank. It was pretty good scifi for the early '80s, and it had a really solid narrative. Phase IV, on the other hand, was a train wreck. MST riffed both of those.
On another note, I'd personally add The Creeping Terror and The Wild Wild World Of Batwoman to this list. Both are absolutely abysmal in their own different ways.
The less said about this...The better...
I've never been able to finish Space Mutiny AKA Dollar tree Battlestar Galactica
The beast of Yucca Flats...the movie that stops at nothing....and stays there....
Lol
Happy Holidays lovely lady! ❤️ I don't believe I have seen any of these movies! Thank you for the great ratings, and opinions! 😂
