Why? Why do we need these appearances? Yes Mr Beast paid for it. It's just advertising in a show that's supposed to be about showing off the concepts and art of creators. Why? It's just irritating, I love the series even the low points are decent. I just really wanted to come on, watch a show and enjoy it without really having to think beyond the references, stories and comparisons being told and shown. And you'd think this would be like, criticising him. Which is should, for his exploitative content. But as soon as you bring him on it becomes just self referential media. Advertising. For a man who already has destroyed the minds of the young.

This season has not been filled with hits, but this episode makes me not want to watch it at all anymore. After looking it up and seeing articles written about why they picked him for this, I have lost respect for the creaters of the show.

Getting a disgusting mysoginst as an actor just because he has love, death, & robots posters on his wall and they want his younger audience-who shouldn't be watching most of LDR's episodes anyway-is not a great way to get views.

If viewership is down, pay better writers. We stopped watching after this one and I don't know if we will finish the season, but there were only a couple of episodes that were worth it before this one.

Even without his character, it's not a great episode.

I appreciate the attempt to infuse the script with Chinese poetic language, but the result reads like superficial cultural appropriation. Take the wolf imagery: it bears no relation to the historical and literary symbolism wolves hold in Chinese tradition, nor does it follow any coherent narrative logic. The monologue is so disjointed that it borders on unbearable for a Chinese-speaking audience. I have to wonder whether anyone with a genuine grounding in traditional Chinese culture ever reviewed the text. The very passage that was meant to anchor the story instead lays bare its hollowness. Invest enormous sums and manpower in the visuals and, for a touch of "exoticism," sprinkle in Mandarin dialogue-yet show no concern for the cultural spirit that Mandarin inevitably carries. It's a dispiriting way to make a film.

Graphically well made (although hated the character design), but nowadays it's not an argument anymore.

Why having mrbeast? He brings nothing, so does bailing. Typical nerds making the hero a femal asian. Cheap.

The story made no sens. Basic at best.

I'm copying my answer because there's no 600 words worth of comment for this cheap short.

Release the beast from my memory, personal grip but Mr Beast has no place in entertainment, that aside, this story felt weak at its core, not particularly pleasing look or real feeling characters, undeserved use of mandarin to make it seem more important, and unlike the first 2 seasons I felt very little after it had finished, alot of the season 4 episodes seem to be slightly too short, the previous seasons didn't seem to have trouble making you engage with the character but pretty much half the new episodes do, not sure who is to blame but it looks like the ideas people are either out of them or have been replaced by the new people who are pretty much tanking 75% of current tv.

The Mandarin voiceover felt very unnatural - even the tone when swearing sounded completely off. I also agree with previous comments that the image of the wolf doesn't carry any special meaning in Chinese culture. In fact, I'd add that it often has a negative connotation, associated with criminal or predatory behavior. No one in Chinese culture would compare themselves to a wolf in a positive light.

As for the Chinese poem at the end, it made no sense in the context of the plot. The original meaning of the poem is about the author's deep loneliness and his wish for the moon to be his companion - but what does that have to do with this storyline???

If you read other reviews, this is not even the only problem, but why are we highlighting a person who is gamifying charity, misleads audiences, commodifies suffering, is co-founder of a health hazard food product marketed towards children, has promoted illegal gambling practices and does it all for views and profit?

Allegations from sources like Rosanna Pansino claim he pressured friends and employees to gamble on Bustabit, an illegal Bitcoin gambling platform in the U. S., and former employee DogPack404 accused him of running 46 illegal lotteries during a livestream by tying prizes to merchandise purchases without a free entry method, violating U. S. laws like the FTC's "no purchase necessary" rule.

We should also mention the 2024 Beast Games lawsuit highlight claims of sexual harassment, lack of medical care, inadequate food, and unpaid expenses and wages, as well as misrepresentations about the number of contestants on the show. The way he brushes it off is "hundreds of other people had fun" - completely brushing off responsibility, 0 empathy, showing his true character.

If you don't know who MrBeast (Jimmy) is, and like the animation and the series, awesome - but if we are giving people like this a platform for the sake of "art" then maybe the "art" shouldn't exist in the first place.

I normally don't write reviews for low ratings just to bash it, but this is just too ridiculous and it kind of pissed me off. I don't understand why they had to make it Chinese, speaking as a Chinese, I'd been happy if they made it any other culture or race that they understood better.

Obviously the wolves and the poem didn't make any sense whatsoever, but what's worse is that monologue. It's painful to read, I say read because as a native Chinese I couldn't understand it without reading the subtitle, because of the words itself and how it was said.

They probably got it very badly translated from English on DeepL or something and copy-pasted straight on to the script.

The words were garbage and the voice acting was no better. Not criticizing the actress, I'm sure she might do better speaking whatever her first language is, cause she didn't sound like someone who speaks Mandarin, the speech pattern was way off, sounded more like AI. And like I said as a native speaker I couldn't understand, I thought it was another language at first. And the "emotions" sounds totally contrived, understandable considering she doesn't really speak the language.

I didn't have much expectations for this season, but I have to say I expected better than this.

The Chinese monologue was painfully off-it genuinely felt like something generated by Al. The phrasing was unnatural and stilted, full of word choices that no fluent speaker would use in that context. The tone of voice didn't help either; it was awkward, overly dramatic at times, and completely disconnected from the emotion the visuals were trying to convey.

What really threw me was how the monologue ended-with a Chinese poem that had no clear connection to the rest of the narrative. It felt like it was thrown in just to sound deep or poetic, but it only added to the confusion.

To be fair, the visuals were excellent. The production quality was clearly high, and from a purely visual standpoint, it was impressive. But every time the narration started, I couldn't help but cringe-or laugh.

In a shocking twist the Tyrannosaurus Rex isn't the biggest predator in this Episode about fighting with and on the backs of giant dinosaurs.

In a true-to-life fashion Jimmy "Mr Beast" Donaldson hosts a series of winner-takes-all games in order to exploit poor people for the entertainment of his fellow subhuman ghouls with more money than sense or common decency.

What follows is a series of death-defying stunts with enslaved people fighting each other to the death using their bare hands and grappling hooks in order to topple their fellow gladiators off the top of colossal triceratops, in a surprise twist the final two of the gladiators are lovers who live until Jimmy does an ass-pull and unleashes another twist: a titanic T-rex is unleashed and proceeds to eat one of the remaining gladiators. The final gladiator and the T Rex must then fight to the death.
