I liked this show, I really did, I loved the wacky pseudo seriousness of it, the mystery around Carol and Laserblast, how the Villains are going to defeat Point, what are the glorbs, KO's connection to them etc.
But it made a mistake no cartoon should make, it became political propaganda. Dirty, filthy, trashy, shameless political propaganda.
No I'm not talking about the lesbian or bisexual ships ( romances ) in this show, in fact, unlike other shows like the Loud House which screams '' We are progressive look at us !!'', I like how they handled non hetero relationships in here. Hell I even ship Boxman and Doctor Venomous.
And I'm not talking about the Captain Planet episode, which I love for old reminiscences of my childhood.
I'm talking about the Let's Not Be Skeletons episode.
I can understand if you tell children to not play with guns, I like that you show children that it's not abnormal to be with someone of your own gender in a romantic relationship, but no, you don't get a free pass to literally brainwash them in a dishonest way about guns. It's not really different from Peron or Fidel Castro's for kid books where they teach the kids to love the leader. Let kids grow up and decide.
I dunno if I'll keep watching the show after this, if it has become this ....
In the end I kept watching it, and the show has distended itself from political propaganda lately. I like that.
My favorite character is TKO because of the contrast he makes with KO and other characters, and I'm impatient for the next episode of KO's World.
My only whine about the show, is that KO is becoming a little too much like Steven from Steven Universe. Ko should be a unique character with his own ambitions driving him up, instead of become an hyper sensible kind of guy, specially if he's becoming an Hero. Hope his goal doesn't get lost for the sake of making him super empathetic with others just because that sells.
The show has show that It can grow so I'm rising the stars from 1 to 4, I just hope, or better to say I pray that something like Let's not Be Skeleton doesn't happen again, EVER.
score 4/10
