All Bets Are Off

According to WatchMojo, Teen Titans Go is the worst animated super hero series. However, the episode 40%, 40%, 20% was so good that the show did a four-part sequel. It was just dumb fun, but I enjoyed it more than last year's five-parter, which was just all right. I can't believe they actually got the real musical artists to appear in it, including getting Ami and Yumi to do a cover of "The Night Begins to Shine" in Japanese. Even the additional musical guests were the real people. As part of the week-long (five-day) airing schedule, the Fourth of July episode aired first. Again, a wasted opportunity to have Mad Mod come back, but Queen Elizabeth, sure, why not. I didn't really like it.

The world of Appmon has got to be the dumbest timeline. The summer festival was said to be held to honor the souls of broken electronics and that there was a broken smartphone inside the shrine. While Shinto does deal with spirits in inanimate objects, this just makes it sound like everyone in the world worships technology. In Appmon's case, the people are too dumb to live without it and would blame each other for things that go wrong instead of a bug or themselves. However, this spirit is really an Appmon and he's pissed. Only Entermon is immune to its "useless breath." Bootmon refers to itself as Boo, which only makes me think it should have the voice of Majin Buu. Next time, an Agumon appears for some reason.

I'm going to call the TellTale Games Joker YOLO Joker. He has all this freedom and doesn't know what to do with it, so YOLO. I have no idea what kind of Harley we're going to get, but her silhouette for episode 2 doesn't look like she has pigtails. She may even be calling the shots instead of Joker, and he might be beholden to her. Between Batman and Guardians of the Galaxy, TellTale has been killing off major characters way too early. This isn't like The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones - people expect all the important characters to survive episode one. Aging up Riddler was bad enough. It is pretty interesting that a Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) was investigating Riddler since one of the actors from Criminal Minds voiced him one time.
