Mighty Magiswords

Okay, I literally just created an IMDb account just so I could write this review. What are CN writers doing? This must be the worst show I have seen in my whole life. Worse than TTG or PPG.

Really, it had EVERYTHING to be a very nice show. Nice swords, nice characters, nice plot; it really looked like you were watching a show made in RPG setting, but did it really have to be a stupid show? I mean, the main characters are two extremely dumb brothers, all the jokes are ridiculous, lots of unnecessary wordplay, and LOTS, and I mean LOTS of the new stupid rule that every single show or movie now decided that is the best thing in the world: making the character explain their own jokes with sentences such as "see what I did there?" or "got it?".

Let's be honest, if you joke was good, you wouldn't have to explain it...

I just hope CN does not screw things up with the new Ben 10 Reboot, because it is probably going the same way.

No,this show isn't bad. But i just found it a bit dumb. The animation is kinda okay,the voice acting isn't bad and the jokes aren't terrible. But that doesn't make this show good. I already expected a mediocre show,especially because CN now has terrible shows like PPG or TTG. It can be a bit random,but it's not like We Bare Bears,that is random but it's still fun. Mighty Magiswords is strange,and i think that CN will milk it in the exact same way they done with Teen Titans GO. That's my opinion about this show,it isn't good,of course. But it's also not terrible,like i have said. BUT WAIT! That's just the beginning,just like Uncle Grandpa,it can be better in the future,so we just need to think that this has potential while this doesn't get cancelled.

Just horrible. Don't believe me? Just set your child down in front of your TV or tablet and see if they don't wander off to do something else. Cheap flash animation that looks jittery; like a computer from 2007 trying to load an actual flash cartoon, and the voice acting is okay, that seems to be its only good quality. The only people who seem to vigorously defend this are 30 year old man-children. Just horrible. Don't believe me?

No spoilers since nothing ever happens or changes. I give this series, mostly Season 1, a 6/10 for a multitude of reasons, but essentially for just a few major ones that I'll list here: 1. The pacing was bad but had since improved (though really, it should've done that from the start); 2, The main duo, who you're stuck with for the entirety of the show are really not that special or unique other than looks, plot devices and gimmicks; 3, The Magiswords (which are the selling point of the show, mind you) are typically uneventful or exciting; and 4, Although the other characters (usually those from the Academy Shorts) show promise, they get shoved to the side in favor of the ones we're already used to seeing (with a few exceptions; Cattus and Simone for example). There are but a few genuinely good things to come out this, but because the show is so heavily flawed and nothing ever changes, it ultimately comes out as 50-episode filler. Season 2, however, is a lot more interesting than much of season 1 with it's own improvements, but unfortunately, I don't believe it is enough to recover from all of the past episodes we've already seen. If the show were to be rebooted, or perhaps given a continuation of some kind, I hope that the makers of it will consider the details to truly make it one of a kind ;). There is still potential in it, but at the rate it and it's fandom are going, I don't know if we'll ever get to see it or not.

Mighty Magiswords is a filler show at best, but it does have good potential. The concept itself sounds entertaining; Two siblings become "warriors for hire" and go on adventures while collecting magical swords called, you guessed it, magiswords. However, the show has a few flaws. If you are looking to watch this, I have a bit of advice. You really need to go with the flow while watching MM for reasons I will explain in the rest of this review. Don't overthink it and just enjoy it for what it is.

First, the show is way too fast paced! I think it is cool how the show is written and designed like a comic, but the episodes seem rushed. Perhaps if they slowed it down a little bit, the comic effect would actually take place instead of a clustered mess. I also think that not only is it too fast, but it's too short as well. I love the comic book like style, but it's just a bit too quick for me. It seems to be so rushed and short that you will forget the episode in only 10 minutes.

I love how vibrant and over dramatic some of the characters are, but honestly they were annoying at first. I think the characters would be much more memorable if they had some character development or backstories in the show. Some of the episodes were kind of lame because the characters and the world didn't seem to be properly introduced, and it was hard to get into it. Maybe I need to watch the Webisodes to understand the world and characters more? I like how Mighty Magiswords goes against the status quo by not having a huge plot or character development, but I fear that it may not prosper without them either. I'm not saying it should go all out drama, but just a tad bit of depth for the characters would be nice.

In conclusion, Mighty Magiswords is a bit too rushed, too short, and too simple for me. I do like to watch it, and it is a nice change from TTG. The show just isn't binge worthy you know. I would suggest this show to young kids. This title gets a thumbs up and down from CriticalBunniez 👍👎
