Dead End: El parque del terror

I LOVED it, I watched it in one sitting. Tho it could have done better with diving deep into the demons. I just think it would have been a lot more interesting. I love the art style and the diversity, really made me happy! But over all it was great (I CANT WAIT FOR A SEASON 2!!!!!!!)

The cartoon is pretty cool. It makes you nostalgic for shows with Gravitty Falls, Hilda and Steven Universe (even if it's not as good as them), because of the mystery. I also really liked the issue of the character Norma having problems making friends due to her insecurities, which is very common and I identified a little, in addition to the representation of Barney, which was well done, since as much as many parents accept their LGBT children, just accepting is not enough, they need to defend them. What I didn't like was the fact that some episodes were very fillers (like the game show or the mascots), in addition to the romanticism and force of Barney's romance with another character.

I'm a big fan of cartoons and a trans man so I was really looking forward to checking out this show. The voice acting, animation and episode plots are all good but the overarching storyline of the season stumbled. It doesn't help that this show has similar themes to popular shows like Gravity Falls and The Owl House and will be judged in comparison to them. All in all it was a fun watch and I would like to see a second season because I see so much potential for this show to hit the mark.

Similar to Gravity Falls - would definitely recommend to fans of that show. The setting and plot (twists!) are unique and fun to follow. The cast is fun and cute, and even as an adult watching, the show is entertaining and can be funny at times. It's a good all-ages show and I hope it gets a second season!

The autistic community rarely gets a representation of us that isn't depicted as a stereotype.

Norma, as a 22 year old autistic person "you make me feel seen" and I hope this paves a path for better and canon representation for our community. I was delighted to finally see someone like me, and have the same problems as me, even if it's a kid it's great for young viewers to see that and learn from it.

I believe the writer of the show or comic is autistic and they wanted to showcase what it was like to be autistic and they hit the nail on the head. It made me tear up almost to have a character confirmed as autistic before the show started...because so many writers will claim a character is gay or disabled etc after the show is done... much like the off hand comment that dumbledore was supposed to be gay. If you're going to make a character, stick with what you want it to be...don't try to pander after the show is done. She was intended to be autistic, it wasn't an afterthought and it feels so good to not be tacked on after a show is done at the last minute to make people happy.
