Sonic Boom
(2014)

One of The Worst Sonic Shows I've Ever Watched
Man I use to watch this show back in the day but looking back at it nowadays ohhh boy what's it bad not only the redesigns looked very lanky and uncanny I mean.... Look at Knuckles look at his redesign it looks like a different character. And not only that but they made Knuckles a huge idiot throughout the show which is made to pander to twitter lords which isn't true by the way and they made sonic a moron while some characters has some brain cells. Also there is no lessons, tense action, drama, funny moments (by the way I didn't find this show funny in the slightest), and character development whatsoever and strides far from the source material. How disappointing is that. But there two positives I do like. I like the animation and it has good voice acting by the StudioPolis voice cast I can tell you they having so much fun with the roles here. But that's the only positives I had about the show. Not to mention that they hired writers who are no idea about the source material again no offense who likes Twitter, The Simpsons, and MLP G4 but you need to take it very seriously otherwise you'll have no idea what you're doing. Overall not only is one of the worst shows on Cartoon Network but also goes against everything that has made the franchise worked in the first place. If you want a better Sonic tv experience than I suggest you watch Sonic Satam, Sonic X, and especially Sonic Prime.

VeggieTales in the House
(2014)

It is better than Sonic Boom
To be honest I really like VeggieTales In The House sure is not as good as the original VeggieTales but it was miles better than Sonic Boom because it has Lessons while could've been a bit better it does help me to get a job, the songs really slaps, I didn't mind the redesigns, I like the cartonny feel of the animation, biblical verses, they got the guts to have characters their flaws, the voices are pretty good, the new characters are really interesting especially Ichabeezer while replacing Mr. Nezzer is questionable at best he has a good character development and he has a good heart. I just miss the show very much I really Netflix series characters returning but I'm afraid that's not going to happen because of TBN revival series while a mixed bag but it doesn't feels like the continuation of the original series feels like a 20 year old reunion reboot which already seen many times.

Dora the Explorer
(2000)

This Show is Just Wasted Potential
I watched Dora The Explorer when I was a kid and loved it but somehow i gave up when I turned 12 and sell my preschool shows to goodwill. However I did try to rewatch Dora but i totally understand where Phantomstrider was coming from it became more annoying with every watch, I was getting bored and became frustrated with it. After my lasted rewatch I can finally say Dora The Explorer...is a bad show it is such a wasted potential. But it has potential to be good I appreciate the creator was trying to do but it wasn't there. Is not the first time Nick Jr made a bad show but is it the worst not really.

Sonic Omens
(2020)

Um no thanks I prefer Sonic Frontiers
This game is trying to be Halo, Doom, Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice, The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Fan4Tasic (2015), and Death Stranding (2019). But this game disrespects the source material. A large majority of the time and many core aspects of Omens feels out-of-place for a Sonic game, such as the more serious and plot-heavy story of the game, and the locations barely feel like they fit with the tone of the Sonic series at all and it failed miserably for the bizarre plot, multiple bugs and glitches, extremely hard boss battles, bad camera, and the laughable dialogue. The reason I loved this franchise in the first place because it has their own original story and this isn't a prequel to Sonic Colors it focuses on one story and get us invested sure I don't mind the dark tone and besides Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06 is one of my guilty pleasures of mind and Sonic Team really tried their best. But what made the franchise so special because it mixed with light and dark tones perfectly look at Sonic Genesis Era (1991-1994), Adventure Era (1999-2006) and Frontiers Era (2020 present) it captures the spirit of the franchise perfectly and sure the Meta Era (2010-2019) is probably the worst era I've ever seen but at least it has charm to it and that's something. Ouroboros Studio completely destroyed the legacy of SEGA due to the executives at Ouroboros Studio not caring in a slightest with the most notable example being the fact that the developers were exposed of profiting from their game with several websites like Patreon. We should remind you that profiting from a fan game is illegal and risks you to get a lawsuit from the original developers. Don't waste your time on this game there's a lot of great games out there are amazing. Genesis Era, Adventure Era, the upcoming Sonic Frontiers, great fan projects like Robo Blast 2 for example, fan remakes that what could've been and film series was so great that should check it out. Omens is considered to be one of the worst games of time and desveres the Animat's Seal of Garbage 🗑. I hope you go bankrupt Ouroboros Studio because your toxic, basing, and OUROBOROS YOUR GAME STUNK.

Sonic Origins
(2022)

100% worth it
I really enjoyed Sonic Origins and way easier to play the classic games and enjoyed it on the go in the Nintendo Switch that is the mobile apps are pretty boring the Mega Collection and Gems Collection are alright but not good enough. But Sonic Origins didn't feel bored at all it's just excited way to play I finished all 4 classic games and story mode was really clever now I know about Sonic CD taking place before Sonic 2 and how Sonic meet tails after Sonic CD and Coins are really clever to use once you lose the special stage you can start over and try again and the best of all you don't have to worry about lives anymore you can enjoy it with infinite lives and complete all 4 classic games. YESSSS YESSSS INFINITE YESSS. But the only problem I have is the Classic mode is just boring. But besides all that I say this game is worth it for adding new elements, Museums are great to visiting, and it was one of the best compilation game I've ever played.

The Grinch
(2018)

It's just as great as the Chuck Jones version from the book
Let me start of that it was way better then the live action one and it is just as good from the Chuck jones cartoon and way better then the Lorax film because this 2012 version was okay at best in my opinion anyways. The story was pretty good. The animation looks great and it captures the sprit of the books which is much appreciated. The characters are likable. What I recommend you to watch this adaptation yeah definitely. If you love the books and the Chuck Jones cartoon then I pretty sure you like this one.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: A New View for Thomas
(2022)
Episode 50, Season 1

A New Stupidest For Thomas
I just don't even know anymore there's nothing new about it there no realism, nothing just boring, stupid, repetitive, blandest episode I have seen. I'm stupid now I don't even care.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Nia's Surprising Surprise
(2022)
Episode 49, Season 1

Mia's Dumbest Surprise
It's still Generic as all Fridge is still rehashed, stupidest, boring, story, repetitive, mean spirited, completely awful. Nothing surprises here it's just tricking you that is so hurtful that is so harsh.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Sir Topham Hatt's Hat
(2022)
Episode 48, Season 1

Great Another Rehash
It's still rehash an episode "Topped Off Thomas" from Season 10 of the original series and Emily's Winter Party Special from Season 16 of the original series that is already seen.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: More Cowbell
(2022)
Episode 47, Season 1

I don't want to know
Boring, Repetitive, Rehash, Generic, Stupidest thing I have ever saw before and still making Cow Puns which isn't funny to begin with and lame 😒 as well.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Goodbye, Ghost-Scaring Machine
(2022)
Episode 46, Season 1

Copying Ghostbusters Episode
This is just a ripoff of Ghostbusters that we already seen before and stop with the rehash episodes this is just getting annoying and getting worse and worse every single time.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Pop a Wheelie
(2022)
Episode 45, Season 1

Pop and Kaboom you were trying to say
What's all the rehash episodes that we have already seen before no wonder this show is so predicable and boring and already know what's going to happen.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Hide and Surprise!
(2022)
Episode 44, Season 1

What surprise part is you don't understand
Man this engines need to grown up and be like realistic trains but it just another rehash episode from Sodor Surprise Day and wow those trains are so childish.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Ghost Train
(2022)
Episode 43, Season 1

Another Rehash Episode. Really?
I wanted to be very clearly that this episode rehashes the episode from Season 2 of the original series of the same name. Boxy (a non-sentiant boxcar) plays Percy's role.

In fact, the ghost story in the episode is almost the exact same as the ghost story in the said original series episode. The only difference is that the ghost train returns every Halloween instead of the day it had its accident that's so anti climatic.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: A Rusty Rescue
(2022)
Episode 42, Season 1

A Rusty Nothing
There's is no story whatsoever and why because it's just too boring and feel a sleep at once and sound like a lazy title for an episode it's just so predictable.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: An UnbeLEAFable Day
(2022)
Episode 41, Season 1

An Laughing Stock day that for sure
Why would Trains to play with leaves they don't have hands oh wait too many plot holes, so many problems, too much bouncing, too much cartoony, and too much childish things.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Sandy Versus the Storm
(2022)
Episode 40, Season 1

A rehash of Cyclone Thomas
We have seen this episode before from the original series but it's just still generic as all boring no second opinion and sandy is still a generic bland character.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Something to Remember
(2022)
Episode 39, Season 1

More like Something to Forget
It's just so stupid and characters are still butchered, out of characters, unlikable jerks, and still the same mediocre 2D animation and never to be fix and just a rushed job with lack of care.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Nia's Perfect Plan
(2022)
Episode 38, Season 1

Man Nia is an absolute jerk
This reboot almost completely focuses on Thomas with "Nia's Perfect Plan" so far to be the only episode to not have Thomas as the lead character though he is still featured heavily in the episode. Oh by the way. Nia, is still a bland character with a very generic personality, but she is worsened to the point of being very dumb, as in "Thomas Blasts Off", she tries to go into a small tunnel with the shell of a huge rocket on a flatbed, repeatedly banging the shell against the roof of the clearly too small tunnel portal, which could damage, or worse, destroy the shell. Nia should have been smart enough to know that. In "Nia's Perfect Plan" she acts egotistical refusing to accept that there's something wrong with her plan and acts just like Thomas in "Rules of the Game".

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Letting Off Steam
(2022)
Episode 37, Season 1

You're going to want to let off steam after watching this
Thomas gets into a fight with Percy just because he laughed at him.

"It rehashes Thomas, Percy and the Coal" from Season 2 of the original series and the Railway Series story "Drip Tank" from "More About Thomas The Tank Engine".

As usual with the songs of this show the song in the episode is really annoying and cringe-worthy.

Their arguments are really pathetic and laughable. You could argue that they are meant to be child-like in the reboot, but even so, them being kids still misunderstands Thomas & Friends as a whole and what made it iconic in the first place.

There's a scene where Nia has Carly's horn despite the fact that she's a steam engine and shouldn't have a horn.

As usual, the animation is pretty mediocre with quite a few errors.

The Only Redeeming Quality Gordon is the only likeable character.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Whistle Woes
(2022)
Episode 36, Season 1

Whistle Nothing
We have already seen it before. It rehashes "Faulty Whistles" from Season 6 of the original series and "Mike's Whistle" from Season 20 of the original series as well as the Railway Series book "Small Railway Engines". Thomas is the main character instead of Duncan/Mike.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: Wonderful World
(2022)
Episode 35, Season 1

Stupid Rehash
"A Wonderful World" rehashes "A Blooming Mess" from Season 13 of the original series. Only Thomas, Nia and Diesel are the main characters instead of Emily and Mavis. Why could we just go back to the realistic feel.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: The Paint Problem
(2022)
Episode 34, Season 1

Another rehash episode
The Paint Problem" rehashes "All in Vain" from Season 20 of the original series. Thomas is the lead character instead of James this time. Bland and rehash.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: A Light Delivery
(2022)
Episode 33, Season 1

That's just a too much colorful lights
A Rehash of Sodor Surprise Day that we already seen before too many times and the rehashing won't stop until it's all gone horribly. Bland, Generic, Stupidest decision I have seen this so many times.

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go: The Super-Long Shortcut
(2022)
Episode 32, Season 1

Super Long Dumb that's for sure
A rehash of Gorden Takes a Shortcut from the Original Series that we have already seen before that it's just pure laziness, stupid, boring, awful, and so repetitive.
