Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera

I'll be totally honest, as with many fellow reviewers, I'm not typically a fan of "musicals". However, this was absolutely incredible!

Recently became a Metalocalypse fan, and it was the best decision I have made yet. This wraps up the entire show in the best way I could have asked for. As far as show finale's go it was hands down the best I have ever seen. It's gory, creepy, serious, funny, and just down right Metal!

The people judging it harshly for being a musical lack credence. I have massive respect for Brendon Small and the other creators for delivering this metal themed animated opera. It shows a significant amount of creativity, passion, dedication, and intellect to be able to come up with something so sophisticated and be able to pull it off so well.

I need more Metalocalypse!

Its not like the show and is its own thing. Think about the work put in to making new music for everything. I love the music and the vibe. Its funny too.

Brandon Small will always be an inspiration.

Please, ignore the negative reviews written by mouth-breathers with no taste trashing this special: One of them thinks that The Hot Chick with Rob Schneider is a good movie, and that should be enough to tell you what they know.

This is a great finale for the fourth season of Metalocalypse, and is such a shame the fifth season was cancelled. Fortunately, a new movie is being made, but just because some buffons with no taste disliked it had nothing to do with the cancellation of the series. (It has much more to do with the.stinginess of Adult Swim and their reluctance to invest money in quality animated shows instead of boring live-action sitcoms)

I think any show should stick with what got it to a finale in the first place and this just changed it up into a long music video about some thin plot. It was terribly thin and jarring to get cringey shoehorned songs just to have it be an "opera". I think a self contained opera for the sycophants that wasn't part of the overall story would have been better. Then the story content here could have been merged with what was in the latest 2023 finale. Both of the "finale" movies are disappointing to most people other then the hardcore lovers of the music opera style which are really a minority due to the fact that the base show was NOT a constant music video-opera. That's what got a total of 4 seasons on the air, stick with that.

The humor, the absurdism, the colorful characters and more are missing here and in the 2023 movie. Sad way for it all to end.

I loved the series and have seen every episode at least 4 or 5 times with a few exceptions. Yet this sticks out as the worst thing they have done. I watched again very recently when all the hype was over and still wasn't impressed. It sounded so good on paper especially with how well Brandon plays guitar but minus adding a bit of back story to characters I felt they could have summed up what happens in like a sentence.

The animation is great as it always was however. There were times I really felt they should have hardcoded the subtitles onto the screen to understand what the heck they were saying without running for the subtitles. I felt the network should have passed on this concept and let them tell this story in their usual fashion as fans don't like change. If not make a 30 minute episode out of this at best. Call me crazy but I truly believe this is why we didn't get any more extra seasons of the show after this.

Unless you're an absolute die hard fan like even the Jomfru brothers who run diefordethklok in the series would tell you to chill. Skip this. It's not worth streaming and I heard there is even an album with some of these forgetful songs out. I never bothered with it because of how awful the songs are.
