It's been years since I've seen a Doctor Who episode worth watching. I've become very jaded toward the show despite watching every episode out of pure fan loyalty. I've disliked this new Doctor Who so far, and was even about to jump ship, but it took this return to form to remind me of why I loved Doctor Who in the first place. It's not the best Moffat episode, but it certainly brought back the quality, emotion, humor, and gravitas that made the show so amazing. It's been soooo long that I was starved for quality Doctor Who. This is also the first time I truly enjoyed Gatwa as the Doctor. He finally felt like a real Doctor. Sadly, this was a bottle episode and the shows quality might return to the new status quo. I hope not, but for this episode alone Doctor Who truly returned.

I'm a huge fan of Dan Harmon so my expectations for this were high. Unfortunately this show didn't come anywhere close to meeting those expectations. I love the concept and the cast, but this show ultimately lets its own potential down.

The first issue that stuck out like a sore thumb was the poor comedic timing. Harmon's comedic timing is usually on point, but this felt way off. In fact it felt similar to other Fox duds like Duncanville or Housebroken.

The show isn't horrible, and it did manage to get a few chuckles from me, but I need more than that from a comedy. Both Community and Rick & Morty managed to make me laugh out loud with nearly every single episode. They also managed to make me care about their stories with each episode. That didn't happen with Krapopolis. The stories here are boring, the characters are boring, and the comedy is boring.

I'm honestly shocked that this is a Dan Harmon show because the quality I associate Harmon with is nowhere to be found. I wanted this to be so much more, but sadly it ended it being on par with the typical mediocrity found in modern Fox animated shows like Duncanville.

This film is silly, campy, has a few genuinely cool moments, has a few genuinely cringey moments, and is ultimately a goofy mess of a film. It certainly has a Schumacher vibe to it, and I would rank it between Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. It's probably closer to B&R.

The only recent comic book film I could compare this to would be Wonder Woman 1984. Both films had bad directing, bad effects, and bad CGI. In fact The Flash's CGI is even worse that WW84, it's downright shockingly bad.

I don't understand WB. I trash talk Black Adam and Shazam 2, but both of those films are better than this cheese ball of a movie. It's like the studio look at how poor Marvel's Phase 4 was and said "hold my beer."
