Why DISENCHANTMENT Is Disappointing | Cynical Reviews

- I didn't like Disenchantment. Here's why.
Disenchantment is an animated comedy series on Netflix and the latest creation of Matt Groening. For all two of you who don’t know, he’s also responsible for The Simpsons and Futurama, two of the most popular and iconic animated shows ever made. So of course, hopes were very high.
Set in the fantasy kingdom of Dreamland, the show follows the rebellious Princess Bean and her friends as they cause trouble, get up to various escapades, and spend a lot of time getting shitfaced. It sets out to offer a subversive parody of the fantasy genre and a more “mature” form of comedy than any of Groening’s previous creations. Sounds good, right? Well, no. It isn’t. In fact, I found it a massive disappointment.

If my voice sounds like I've been deepthroating Satan, it's because I've been ill over the past few weeks. The more you know.
I appreciate that a lot of people liked Disenchantment, and I have no problem with that. Feel free to disagree with me. Just be civil.
You know...I disagree with you on disenchantment. But you stated your grievances with it in a professional and civilized way. So I'm subscribing because you do something I respect in a review. You analyzed and expressed the material and explained why you liked or didn't like it, while not dismissing others who might be of a different opinion. I hope you continue to make videos of this level of quality.
@Zyxyx He is not a tender lover.
Thank you. I honestly appreciate that. I don't expect people to agree with me on this, but I'm glad you like my content regardless of our disagreement. It's one of those rare moments that makes me feel better about being on the internet.
I honestly saw it for Lucci the Demon....is that bad?
Nah, Lucci the Demon was the best character, in my opinion.
“i can’t believe they had the guts to permanently kill off one of their main characters”
that didn’t age well
Who
They should've just improved him. I didn't like him from the beginning but warmed up to him.
Elfo didn't really change that much.
They also did kill of a mainish character in season 3. It was that guard with the eyepatch. I forget his name
I can name about five adult animated shows that killed off main characters, and three of them are Bojack Horseman, so it is a rather bold idea, if not a novel one.
"permanently kill off one of its main characters" lol, nope.
and I never even liked elfo so I did not care at all about his death
I like the creativity behind bringing him back tho instead of just pulling a family guy and using a time machine because for some reason people were outraged that Brian died.
It was part of the story so during her witch trail elfo would blab and get her convicted, and to mature luci. It was also to bring dagmar back in
Carolina’s Thoughts Show that was to tell the people watching the show a lesson, that nothing is permanent.
Kepler Burger yeah I know
Still better than milking The Simpsons forever
Very true. The Simpsons should have been laid to rest a along time ago.
Old Yeller was shot when he HAD to be.
The Simpsons are a full-blown bubonic plague!
They're at least 15 years past freshness and moldy. When they couldn't do funny Treehouse of Horror episodes consistently anymore and The Movie stunk, I knew it was over...
It's still fun to watch the first 6-8 seasons but the rest afterwards is very forgettable.
I'm actually glad Futurama was cancelled when it was originally. When they brought it back, it really lost its specialness across the direct-to-video movies and Comedy Central original episodes. The writers changed between cancellation and when it was brought back and that made a HUGE difference. The first 78 episodes of Futurama are rewatchable -- after that, not so much!
I concede that it could also be that I changed, too, but going back to The Simpsons and re-watching those first six seasons and what happened after Season 7 -- big, big difference. That show was burned out on consistency before they hit Season 10...
I honestly don't think most shows stay fresh much past Season 4. A good time to end most shows would be after the fifth or sixth season but "successful" shows in first run generally far too long and have crummy series finales.
I don't disagree but it is funny that whenever Matt Granning talks about ending "The Simpsons" people lose their crap and freak out so there's that. :)
This I agree with.
@@AvengerII I highly disagree because of the existance of South Park. I can't even go back to the first couple of seasons of that show and laugh anymore, but some of the mid 2000 episodes were definitely the best
I can only imagine his disappointment when Elfo was brought back
Why???
@@applycontext9161 because he said that elfo dying was one of the redeeming moments of the show
@@david8j796 Yeah, but it was obvious from the start that he was never meant to stay dead.
They literally put him in a Snow White coffin FFS!
@@david8j796 hey, atleast he stoped his dodged nice guy tendencies, kind of.
All I’ll say is my girlfriend and I watched the whole show and I cannot tell you a single thing that happened in it.
“Watched"
Then you didn’t watch it 🤦🏿♀️
Yall dumb he was telling a joke that he watched the show but it was so bad or boring that he doesnt remember any of it
R Nickerson you said *none of us here* understand that in ur previous comment. That means that everyone here didn’t understand so yeah
Satan almost killes the other little Lucifers
“Permanently killing off a main character”
Well yes, but actually no
They basically 'John Snowed' Elfo
I like how there are fans here and they respect Cynical's opinions and don't lash out on him
Strange that he went after Katy Hopkins when most of these types of channels are all about being counter culture. Get someone counter culture over there and everyone gets bothered.
Because he's not being an arse about it. Most other cynical reviews of TV series tends to nitpick the hell outta shows and talk in circles for 1 hour for no other reason than to get a rise out of its audience enough to gather up all the clicks.
The points he made about Disenchantment was spot on, and they weren't nitpicks. I wish people gave Disenchantment a chance or just skip episodes 3-7 and just watch 1-2 and everything after episode 7 because there's something worth watching here. But I also can't fault them for not bothering after the first season was so weak.
Well... everyone have their opinions. I really like and enjoy the show but if someone doesnt like it or want to shit on it its on them :P
666'th like
just the right upvote count.
Still Bean-Luci-Elfo is a more iconic trio than Kardashians.
That meme died didnt it?
.... *cough* .....
I just realized - Futurama has a definitive trio (Fry, Leela, Bender), Disenchantment has a definitive trio (Bean, Elfo, Luci), but the Simpsons...I don't even know.
Do we say it has a...quinto? Quintet? Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie? But no that can't be right, because Maggie is hardly present and Marge and Lisa get considerably less focus in the plots and jokes. Is it Homer, Carl, and Lenny? Bart, Lisa, and Millhouse?
None of it really works because the show is more about a whole family, the dynamics between the family members, and the individual antics of each family member. Futurama and Disenchantment are way more similar to each other than to the Simpsons.
Dude you need to realise most people on Netflix press the "skip intro" button.
They literally have 0 reason to put any effort into it.
You have a pretty solid point. I skip even anime openings on Netflix...
Caleb Harris I don’t skip the intro for the Simpsons
Facts
@@ToddHowar.d16x the amount of facts
I always skip unless it is something super epic than I will have it play out for a couple episodes, then get sick of it and start skipping it. Also unless if you are just binging a show and let the episodes play out for you, Netflix will skip the intro for you (especially if its a show that includes the last time on *insert name here*)
Every time I see that elf character, I’m just like “it looks like Bart as an elf.” I don’t think he looks unique enough.
same here. it's just a green bart simpson with a different voice actor
eLFo yoU LiED tO MeH!
I only scroled down to the comment section to see if someone else noticed it. Thanks for pointing it out.
one is a character that personifies a demon child and the other the innocence and love of a fairy tale, the angel as opposed to luci. it has no resemblance to bart simpson
Every time i see him i think "it's an Elf not Bart
What bothered me was how quickly the troll green boy whatever's character changed. He was serious and wanted to go see the real world, just to turn into a cheerful and dumb witted accessory.
I take it as more he is cynical in the bubble of his home town... but relative to what a crud sack world he ended up with he might as well be a sugary optimist. Yet yeah the show didn't project that very well.
Oh boy you haven’t seen his blood rage mode in s2
No wonder they killed him off
James bruh - wdym? In part 2 he’s alive and more negative-
Elf. Not a troll.
(Eh, actually half-elf but I won't go about spoiling more info)
Dude no joke, the "I'm drowning! I'm Elfo!" joke made me laugh harder than any joke I've heard in a TV show in years. It wasn't good or anything, but I think the timing is what sold it. Or it might just be my bad sense of humor, I ducking LOVE dad jokes.
Same
Reddit humor
It's an overused joke really,
Elf-O is the best!
A lot of people seem to love dad jokes despite them simultaneously being popularly derided.
"and kudos to the authors for the BALLS to killing off one of their main characters, and sticking to that decision!" ... yeah about that, buddy....
(spoilers) I mean it's still better than if they used some old forgotten magical relic or a time machine to revive him. The had to actually go to hell to get his soul back.
@@fandyus4125 traveling to hell or an underworld to save someone is still a pretty big cliche though.
@@BongoBrando I haven't seen it, but if it did then that's just ridiculous.
@@LouiseTheBeaverWarrior Three times off-screen, one failed, another fixing the bothed one. Two of them were between seasons by the same angel who originally (when he did the first resurrection) was supposed to be a minor character and the last one mid-season by Death himself.
To be fair it introduced some fun moments and was better than them just using the pendant to bring him back to life which I believe they could have.
It wasn’t a disappointment because I had zero expectations.
Lol same
I couldn't even finish the first episode. I got like, fifteen minutes in but I couldn't do it.
same lmao i liked it a lot
I had no expectations, then someone talked it up, so I watched it, so I became disappointed.
thats why its great you dont need to expect
Did anyone else actually really love it? I think it’s got a certain charm to it for sure.
Here, Here!
Yeah this guy sucks
I recently just found this show and finished it in 2 days and I FREAKING LOVE IT!
Me
I find that the second season is much better
The show didn’t disappoint me... the fact that Eric Andre literally voiced a demon was enough to make me love the show
That's the problem, some of the audience and yourself that like it have little demand and criticism for a show with lazy writing and terrible humour, unless youre easily amused..
@@cooney2011 I can’t help that I’m a huge fan of Eric Andre. It’s just the same with the show the walking dead, the only reason I still watch it is because of Jeffrey dean morgan.
@@JmanGJakey OK but eric Andrea material is so much different than this show. I love him aswell and much prefer it over this. But whatever makes you happy. Have a good day👍
@@cooney2011 Why are you such a prick, guy?
@@winstonmarlowe5254 walking around with a stick up his...dude wouldn't laugh at the stooges.
It always kills me when the king elf says, "Speak no more of Leavo, Speako!"
I love the names all the elves have and how it suits there personality. and shocko is so annoying but i love him lmao
Wait so you know how all of the elves have the names of what they do like the dwarves from Snow White and then when elfo is in a coffin it’s a Snow White coffin, I just find that interesting
@@taintedmind6669 Oh I never noticed, that is interesting!
@@peachy-wd6ci I guess Matt G. really liked the Smurfs.
The second season had a different kind of energy, tone, and urgency I feel like compared to the first, but I'm really excited to see where the series goes, nonetheless. I've personally really enjoyed it so far.
Same
Me too! Can't wait for part 3.
I'm really interested on how much character development is gonna happen and how much of the setting will change
Elfos mom has me hooked
@@Peppermon22 i think elfo’s mom is an ogre bc elfo is green and has those lines on his head so he sort of looks like half ogre have elf and whenever bean and him were at the ogre place and bean said elfo’s name one of the ogres went “elfo?” and looked like they knew who he was
Laughing alone isn't very abnormal when you're always alone.
I'm alone together!
I haven't slept in almost 24 hours and I can't stoo talking to myself.....you dont care but I feel high right now....
Or when you can enjoy yourself and have fun in your own company.
Yeah it’s not abnormal, but studies have shown that people do actually laugh a lot less when watching TV alone. Laughing out loud is generally done to communicate to others that you got the joke, it’s a social thing
Why should it be though. I find something funny, I laugh. Or chuckle. Or grin like stupid.
I never cared if someone saw me smile, or hear me laugh.
I think the lack of music and background noise really hurt the show, it made the pacing seem incredibly slow and made scenes feel like you were listening to the voice actors (who were great) just sitting at a table reading lines as opposed to characters in an actual setting.
it seems most people always forget one thing. Matt Groening was the creator of Futurama and the Simpsons.. but HE WASN'T the writer. Most of the succes of those series after many reviews it's mostly thanks to the great writers (at least until season 8/9 in the Simpsons). My point it's that Matt was never knew to be a great writer and this series it's the proof that even Groening, whitout great writers, can only go so far as to a meh...
This seems to be a recurring thing nowadays: the creator of the series has a strong team and together they make something great. Then, time for a prequel or sequel or spiritual successor, the creator has to also do the writing, and it is not nearly as good:
Star Wars: George Lucas had a whole team for the OT -> Had only yes-men for the Prequel Trilogy.
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Mike and Bryan were the creators, Aaron Ehasz was lead writer -> Legend of Korra: No Ehasz, Mike and Bryan create and write.
Kingdom Hearts: Nomura is director, Nojima is lead writer -> Kingdom Hearts 3: Nojima is busy writing the final fantasy remake, so Nomura has to direct and write.
@@matthewmuir8884 I actually really like legend of Korra but yeah I agree. Same as when Pendleton Ward was replaced as writer on Adventure Time, it's still an amazing show. A show needs a creator to get started and writers to keep being made
Also it's not really widely known, but Groening wasn't alone. They made the Simpsons together with Csupó, ( I think Csupó did the first character designs, but I'm not 100% sure about that). But for whatever reason only Groening's name stuck on the series, and people don't credit Csupó for his work on the Simpsons.
EXACTLY!!!
@@matthewmuir8884 also, rugrats.
But I like this show. How dare you personally insult me specifically? On this. The day of my daughter's wedding!
Zack WithaK You can't take an opinion do you
@@internetgoat4831 No I can't. That's why made a dumb joke and a movie reference to make somebody laugh or at least smile while they exhale sharply through their nose
@@chickencurry420 Dont worry, I got a good snort out of your reference 😂
And two days after Gloria Steinem's half birthday, no less!
RandomEmo r/woooosh
I didn't hate it, but I completely forgot its existence until I saw this review in my feed.
Says a lot about the show really.
i didnt even know it existed
I recently watched Lindsay Ellis' masterful take-down of Disney over their abuse of Robin Williams' likeness, voice, etc. to market 'Aladdin' against his permission. Because they also used it to sell toys and hamburgers and every other damn thing. He became a joke overnight, just because people seem to like this kind of fan-service known-actor-voiced animation. There is not one thing that distinguishes this series from straight-to-video one-offs, except the names of the people attached to it. Same script animated and voiced by a bunch of very talented unknowns wouldn't even make it on to Netflix.
i watched it, enjoyed it and forget about it until i see it on netflix or similar.
Probably because the season 2 is taking forever. Other shows made later are already getting a season 2. Like she-ra
@@Richard_Nickerson knowing the date doesnt take away from the fact that other netflix shows had season 2 made faster
There are so many Easter Eggs that if you don't pay attention, a lot of jokes and scenes don't land or make sense. Like that drowning scene, Elfo asked Bean what swimming was. So if he doesn't even know what swimming is, he's obviously not going to know what drowning is
Nevertheless, it is a dad joke
There was a subtle sign that said “beware of racist deer” that was out of the way in a few scenes. I’m pretty sure that was the jokes delivery
I was unaware of the "antelope" racist angle until I watched 'Get Out'. 'The “Black Buck” was a term used to stereotypically describe African American men as big, strong, and savage. It also sheds light on how the black body is oversexualized.'
But again the set up fails. Beware the racist deer, because he will say something that you will never hear, spit on the ground, no where near you, and happily skip past your defenseless sleeping bodies? May all dangers, and racists, be so benign.
@@vidard9863 they should have read the sign out loud, or made it slightly more prominent, and made an actual confrontation. Like the show, the joke had genuine potential, and something clever to say.
beware of the racist *antelope*
@@kellennicholson4488 Yes, they should have read the sign out loud, so the public knows that they should expect to see a racist deer. So the joke becomes a J O K E and it's not even funny anymore
"I can't help but feel that the show is about 5 years too late to be truly original"
You mean 17, right? Shrek did a better job of fantasy comedy with major subversion of expectations in 2001 than disenchantment does now.
The Matt Groening aspect seems to be the character design more than anything.
Shrek didn't make jokes like that at all, and no killings like those!
You forgot the holly grail
You say that like one fantasy comedy is enough. Like... imagine if there was only one sitcom.
Yep, subverting fantasy cliches for comedic effect is hardly new material. Hell, Terry Pratchet pioneered that stuff decades ago with his Discworld books.
If it had made fun of fantasy like Game of Thrones it probably would’ve stood a chance. The typical fantasy that Shrek makes fun of is a bit outdated.
Idk, it was not the best show ever but I liked it. It has its moments
Kinda my view on it as well. I hoped for another season, but eventually forgot all about the show haha.
it kinda felt like watching a half way decent rough draft at times. this guys right when he says Simpson's and futurama are better, as a whole, but if you compare disenchantment to just the first season of either, I'd say its probably better, so I'll go ahead and get my hopes up for future seasons.
I really got drawn in by the world and characters. By which I mostly mean I have a huge crush on both of Bean's moms
Agree
@@riabouchinska Queen Oona is life
To everyone who is saying "I loved it this guy sucks" or something along those lines, please take into consideration that you don't have to agree with him. Humor is subjective and not everyone is gonna like every single joke.
It really caught me off guard how many people who like the show attack him for just explaining why he did not like it
@@Hary_Half-Mast right? Why they so triggered about him not agreeing with everyone else.
@@jiffycup225winn2 I'm actually quite pleasantly surprised at how tame and understanding this comment section is. Although there are some people that I can see are getting upset with him, but it's a very small amount. Most people are just saying that they personally found it an enjoyable show and at most think he may have had the wrong mindset when going into this show. I suppose it could just be that I've seen far too many toxic comment sections, so seeing a comment like "i don't know what this guy is saying, I liked the show" seems really nice in comparison.
I think a lot of people are not taking into consideration that this review is of the first season of the show.
He is right, the first season is kind of disappointing.
The show did not have its footing in the first season and I don't think the showrunners knew at the time the direction they wanted the show to go.
This show got really good after the first season.
What do you expect?
Stupid people like this show, stupid people are emotionally stunted and can't live in a world where the thing they like is criticized.
Ergo, lots of stupid people up in this place. Dumb normies.
"I LiKe It"
Ok retard, whatever you say...
I feel that Netflix just went up to Matt and said "Hey here's a bunch of money, make us something."
He blew the money and then realised he needed to submit something at the last minute, hence the wikipaedia hyperlinks, dad jokes and drinking.
Netflix: Hey Matt, make us another Simpsons and Futurama but cash in on the whole d&d nerdy fantasy trend
Matt: Booze and Dad jokes
Dave the Barbarian was better
Dave the barbarian was amazing indeed.
Dave was amazing, and Star and the forces of evil is great as well, aimed for kids but better writing then this so called "adult focus" cartoon.
Barbar Babarian Dave! Barbar Babarian Dave! Barbar Barbarian Dave!
That show was gold
It was not great but the humorous subversion was great, the depressed magical horse gggg
Star vs evil is amazing indeed, that is a good written rebellious princess. And world and characters and even very dark scenes.
I was let down by this show too, but the dad jokes and puns in the background were my favorite part. Great review tho
Yes! all the elf puns about their name had me laugh harder than anything else
I am dead inside- Every character in the show
i cannot look at Bean without comparing her face to spongebob.... they're identical and i'm in pain
You think you have it bad? I see the elf guy as Bart.
I personally loved this show. Perfect after a complicated day at work. To just chill and laugh at stupid jokes made by lovable chatacters. Sad that you did not find it, but nice analysis anyway. I’m going to subscribe.
pu pu you, ma'am, are the ceo of a good person
I have to say I really respect that while you disagree with him you still accept that his review is good and logical, it's a quality way too many people are lacking. It's nice to see someone who isn't going your opinion is garbage cause I disagree, so thank you, we need more people like you.
I hope you've been enjoying his content. :)
Yeh I liked it as well but you gotta respect his opinion
I watched the first episode and I kinda hated it but it’s only my opinion and it did have some good jokes in it I just didn’t really enjoy it
Just my 2 cents on the racist antelope. Earlier in the episode there's a sign in the background that said something along the lines of "Beware of racist antelope" which, when I saw it, thought it was just a random sign that wasn't going anywhere. But then when the antelope DID show up it was a nice unexpected pay off.
EDIT: I guess some people think the sign by itself would have been good enough. Humor's subjective of course, but as for myself, if it was the sign by itself it would have been a stupid random and pointless background detail (which is what I thought it was when I first saw it until the deer showed up. Then it, at least, had some sort of payoff). Not saying the joke is some sort of masterpiece or anything, it's not even that good. But, at least for me, it was better than if it were just any of the two elements by themselves.
Agreed. The sign made me scratch my head and chuckle.
Then when the antelope showed up, I laughed out loud.
If there had been no sign, I probably would have just scratched my head and chuckled at the random antelope if I reacted at all.
Kaif-Tube Exactly the other way. Sign was at least subtle, absurd. Actual antelope ruined the joke.
It was more a anti bestiality antelope than racist 😂😂😂
@T Wex It's so bland I don't think many will go back and watch the first season ever.
I definitely expected it to show up, but it was the everyday low profile racist remark that got me.
i personally love disenchantment. like someone before me said: it's fun and relaxing to watch after a long day. looking forward to more seasons if that's what they're doing.
I like the show too but I didn't think it was really funny. I only watch it for the adventure and mystery
There will be a new season....it will be released in Netflix at 15 January
It's not a bad show, It's just wasted potential.
@Kamil S Uhh, people find different things funny. I can't control what other people thin is funny or not, and neither can you.
@@abcde_ghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz2188 Yeah but like, if you thought it was funny, you're definitely in the minority. This show is garbage, but my stupid brain loves it anyway.
Okay BUT the intro music slaps. It just does. Everytime the trumpets start I just am in a good mood.
"permanently kills off one of its main characters"
*laughs in season 2*
And after the first two episodes of season 2, it goes back to the way it was
cries in season 3...
*Laughs in laughing horse voice* 🐴
wait which one?
@@lamponeEbasilico laughs in season 4
What's the point of wasting money on a netflix series opening, everybody's gonna skip it as soon as it come up anyway
question everything damn whatever happened to respecting opinions
That is like asking what is the point of art if it doesn't affect all people. Anyone who is a creator will put a lot of effort into parts of his product that virtually none of his customers will ever notice, because for the creator, the knowledge that everything is as close to perfect as he can make it has its own value. It says something about the final product when the fit and finish is lacking.
I don’t skip it I love the intro
Some auto skip and have good Easter eggs. Like the dragon prince. Wish it wouldn’t skip.
I actually really enjoy the intro music i never skipped it
Disenchanted is not the horrible mess some folks claim, but it didn't hit the highs that I hoped it would until the last three episodes. Still, it's super watchable unlike the shitshow that was Netflix's Neo Yokio.
What in the fuck is "neo yokio"? I might have to check it out just because it sounds super cringey
I never watched it but I heard it was funny. Like it’s not meant to be good and the clips I saw were like, funny in a bad way. I dunno, just always seemed like a show that was meant to be shit, like the fact it got made was a joke in itself.
I honestly don't know why everyone hates neo yokio so much
Neo Yokio? Isn’t that basically the “Jaden Smith Anime”?
Final Space didn't get enough attention.
I love the show, I mean it may have a different tone every episode. But that’s why I’m watching it. I’m watching it because it’s not the simpsons, and it’s not futurama. It’s different
I respectfully disagree with you
Same.
Agree completely
i liked it
sorta
dont regret watching it
Same its entirely better than most simpsons episodes
I loved it actually
@@leilanidru7506 Yup fantastic! glad they ordered season 2. Too bad the host has no humor.
Luci is what helps it for sure
@@DonaldHolben Hopefully the show gets better with season 2.
I get the criticism, but the show just makes me feel really good. I enjoy the characters together and how laid back everything is, and also the dad jokes.
Same, just finished it and despite its flaws me and my roomate like it and had a good laugh.
Maybe it's parly because of the setting and because so many shows are far worse.
the animation and the setting is the best part but the comedy sucks hard
Smae
the humor isn't laid back though, it's tame. I get what you mean though, it's like I've said as well, it's ok, you can watch it, and it's just ok.
Personally I really like Disenchantment it has won me over on the characters, worldbuilding, art design but not in the comedy department
samee. i think the first season is definitely the worst, and this review is a couple years old. it rlly gets better as the seasons go on
"Watching characters get high is not funny!"
Yeah tell that to That 70s Show
He says "mature" not "funny"
Nevermind, I was too early. Still think he makes a decent point though.
It's not.
The odd thing is, this show just doesn't appeal to me, i havent laughed once. Although for some reason that 70s show is more funny, i feel like this show is just one of thise childrens cartoons that make you thankful you arent a child these days, which drinking, sex and drugs.
Cheech and Chong kinda made careers of it.
they made real jokes while high
Disenchanted just happened to be ill timed. It came when people were moving away from comedies like the Simpsons or Family Guy and more towards shows with existential nihilism like Bojack Horseman and Ricky and Morty.
Not to mention the exit of Game of Thrones leaves this whole show feeling like it missed its mark.
Birdy it doesn’t help that most of the tropes that made fun of are very outdated. They should have done more grimdark fantasy jokes than the typical epic fantasy.
I love the Simpsons and Family Guy but absolutely can not stand Rick and Morty it is one of the least funny shows ever made. Gore automatically = funny no wit humor or intelegence what so ever boooooooo! I have no opinion on Bojack it looks too sad for me so I'll skip it. Disenchantment is one of the worst cartoons ever made.
I dunno, I think the problem is entirely contained within the show itself. The writing is an utter mess. I still enjoy the Simpsons and Futurama on their own merits.
@@LoryskaEntertainment I know right Disenchantment has one dimtional characters, cliched plot lines, and jokes so corny Fozzy Bear would cringe.
@@icecreamhero2375 I used to dislike rick and morty and only watched the first episode after giving up. I kept watching and actually enjoyed it. I must admit some if the humour is quite stupid but I think there is a fair share of great jokes.
I never got into it. I literally couldn’t FEEL where the jokes were. They were drrrryyyy and nothing I want to continue watching. I have no idea how it got a second season.
cause people like it
I think it got greenlit for a handful of seasons before it even aired so they are just gonna keep the crap coming
cause everyone has different humor and not the same as you
It's got some good jokes and it's just finding it's legs. The Simpson's and Futurama had pretty mediocre first season's if you go back and watch them. I also think they should have balanced the jokes with the seriousness better.
I can't find my legs...or my arms
I like the show because its so different. It makes me happy when I watch it. Also I love the intro, i dont get the hate.

95% of "adult animation" relies almost solely on sex, drugs, drinking, gore, shock humor, and gross out humor. It's honestly revolting, children's animation is getting better and better, the stories are becoming better, you're going to be having a better time watching something made for a 10 year old than you would have if you watched most adult shit.
I haven't seen this show, thought about it but ultimately decided against it. Might watch it at some point, though I'm pretty sick of the "adult cartoon" tropes
Idk, Bojack Horseman is probably the most complex adult “cartoon” there is. Absolutely fantastic and relies more on drama and pure comedy over the drugs and sex in the show.
@@ToddHowar.d I absolutely love bojack horseman
@@ToddHowar.d thats kinda funny bc even tho I have seen so much praise for bojack horseman as a mature and intelligent show I couldn't get passed the first few episodes bc all I thought was 'oh OK so it's about a middle aged man tryna kick drugs and alcohol and wanting to sleep w younger women charlie sheen should sue' lmao

@@ButrzV2 it just gave me a good giggle
Y'all just lame but it's okay though.
Same here.
I did
I just feel that the 3 main characters are just an imitation of others characters from his previous works.
the demon = Bender
the green troll = Fry (that looks like Bart)
the tough girl = Leela
I completely agree with that. I actually binge watched futurama right before I watched disenchanted so it was really fresh in my mind and that was exactly my thought. I mean except Leela. I didn't really see it. The idea was similar and especially the relationship with Elfo and WhatshernameIforgot that was really similar to Fry and Leela's. But I think Leela was mostly serious which really isn't the vibe I got from Whatshername. But for Bender and Fry...yes exactly. I made the comparison immediatly.
@LS AE hehehe
Bean is more like Amy instead of Leela
Energumen I can’t disagree with that, I actually think the same!
Right luci reminds me of bender a lot of the time XD
Did it reinvent the wheel?no
Was is still enjoyable? yes

It’s spelled Luçi
@@dubaudelaire From what I've seen online, Bean is classified as the protagonist, Luci as the deuteragonist, and Elfo as the tritagonist.
He is just a Bender ripoff.
Whoa I am late to the party but TH-cam just recommended this to me so here goes: I'd also add that Disenchantment lacks an emotional core. Homer, for all his laziness and stupidity, loves his family and wants to be respected in his eyes. He wants to be a "good father" and has to battle against his own faults to that end. That's what makes him , in my opinion, a heroic character in contrast to someone like Peter Griffen. In Futurama the same can be said for Fry. He loves Leela. He loves Bender. He loves life and is literally living his futuristic dream. Despite suffering from many of the same faults as Homer, Fry 's love hand happiness seems to be the driving goal for his adventures and his emotional justification for his choices.
Princess Bean on the other hand ... just likes to drink. She's cut from the same emotional laziness as (sorry, Seth, I love Orville but...) Peter Griffen. Disenchantment feels less like Simpsons or Futurama and more like Family Guy meets HarmonQuest . HarmonQuest is also better than Disenchantment!
Damn... good analysis
That's exactly the same thing I thought when I gave the show a try. I can't believe how people just ignore this in both positive and negative reviews. Even that single character that dies is later resurrected. Like what the fuck, give these characters a heart, if you don't do that I will never be able to care about them.
"Princess Bean on the other hand ... just likes to drink" I would like to argue against this, although her character spends her time in a tavern as the show progresses, they give us various indications why she became alcoholic. Being the first, and something that she also tends to blame, is the bad example she had to follow from her father, the fact that she always felt that her brother was treated better since he is the official heir, the loss of her mother, and the fact that she could never be romantically related to anyone else, since everyone is afraid of Zog, also being that reason why she has only two friends. As well in season 2 it is shown that she has emotional damage, but her father taught her to ignore it and pretend that nothing happen instead of fixing it or talking about it, so in the end she ended up resorting to beer and constant fights, to forget about it.
Although I sincerely wish there was a little more evolution between Bean's relationship with her father, or her brother, now that her stepmother is out of the picture. Since, although some episodes are dedicated to it, this evolution is lost in the next one.
Even so, the evolution she has had with the protagonists is decent and even with the bad jokes, I still watch it for the story and all the construction of the world. But tha't just my opinion, and I respect yours.
It might only appeal to a small subset of the population. It sounds like you feel the heart of the show should be someone who has some positive aspects in their emotional state and cares about things outside themselves. That isn't what Bean is. She is in a negative emotional state day in and day out, and if you listen closely she cares about the people in the kingdom and wants to make something of herself but doesn't know how to even begin to try. Her relationship with her father is something that I personally relate to----one of being constrained to specific roles because of societal expectation, but not really being enforced (I'm a female, so I'm supposed to be thin and pretty and nice, but my dad only once a week tries to enforce a diet, lots of inconsistency growing up and just resentment now that I'm an adult); caring about each other but not really having the right emotional connection to express it outwardly, it's more just subtle things and it only shows up during times of stress; the attempts for the father to control the daughter, etc. I think there are women who can relate to Bean, sans the uncontrollable drinking.
CR: "Is that a joke? IS THAT A JOKE!?
ad: "This is a grill!"
"But the show relies on it more than a neckbeard on his mom's credit card." LOL
I really hate it when anyone but especially creators make fun of their fans for critiquing works of fiction. It's as though they honestly expect our viewership is just a given and we need to be silent and move on with our lives afterward. If I did that, I wouldn't even hate your show. I would think it so mediocre I'd forget about it the next day. I'm also sorry you think that I shouldn't expect quality out of the entertainment I watch for entertainment purposes and that it should therefore be enjoyable. Maybe you shouldn't even be in this business if you care so little about your livelihood that you mash your face on your keyboard, steal from someone who actually knows what they're doing without understanding why it works and calling it a script. Of course no work is perfect, and people are going to catch things even if you're careful, but people generally don't get rabidly angry at those. Your work reflects you, your commitment and passion. If the fans care more about your job than you do, go do something else with your life.
I like myself a nice continuity, but sometimes people freak out over some simple mistake, and you're like, really? You have a great thing here and you're obsessing over this tiny thing that doesn't change anything, it only proves humans can make mistakes from time to time?
CheapTactics You can’t forget that a giant amount of “simple/small mistakes” can add up to total a huge problem too. Like one or two plot holes is fine, but 3 to 10 is a problem.
it's cause of netflix... 'skip intro' man.
I had no idea what to expect when I watched it, and because I've never been a religious Simpson or Futurama fan, I didn't feel a negative comparison lurking in the back of my mind either.
I really liked Disenchantment so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing it get better and better!

I can agree with a lot of this...however I don't need everything to have a music track to tell me how I should be feeling during a scene. The impact of what's going on in the scene should be enough to create the intended feeling. I actually am not a fan of series or films that have music playing the whole time x.x (and, quite frankly, could have done without the background music during your review - it kind of washed it out a bit - but that's your choice, it's your channel)
beautifully said. never trust anyone who pronounces the word "literally" as "litchrilly" fucking uneducated fools.
Play FFXV. It's absolutely fuckin abysmal about its "background" music. You have to cut the game's music to 50% or every cutscene will have music so horribly balanced that it drowns every voice out and you won't catch a single word that was spoken.
Yes the music could evoke emotion however it shouldn't always be played unless you're really invested into scores and musical appreciation.
@@propheinx2250 like Sonic Adventure 2?
@@k-leb4671 never played it myself, but it's reputation proceeds it lol.
Not an expert on the Simpsons, but I've watched about half of it. Saw all the Futurama episodes, most of which were brilliant.
Disenchantment had few really clever jokes, pretty bland as a whole. Came closer to the later, what I'd call uninspired, seasons of the Simpsons.
Hey man, love the video, agree with almost everything you said. My only comment would be that I think you are comparing the first season of a show, to an entire shows catalogue. Don't write them off, give them some time, and see how they develop the series from here! Great video though, and thanks for making these awesome reviews.
Exactly, and these are similar complains for Simpsons and Futurama when they started out! Not quite with a direction and slow going jokes and characters, but they grew on us and worked out the kinks as they went! The directors know to listen to feedback so I am hopeful for the next parts to only get better!
"even if you found it the most hilarious thing since Katie Hopkins's bankruptcy"
I did not know that. It's enough to restore one's faith in humanity.
Bruce Wayne, it's entirely for the reason that as a public persona, she existed purely to find fun it the downfall of others, kick the poor, scoff at anything the slightest bit fun as "moral degradation" (we're talking things as harmless as tattoos and hairstyles), all that kind of thing. She made herself deliberately the most hateable person possible, because it got her TV time, because it got shows ratings, basically. Now... either she truly believed her own venomous crap, or she was an advantageous chancer who didn't care what hate she spread so long as she earned coin off it. Either way, fuck her and all that she stood for.
Now normally, I wouldn't go for such schadenfruede, heavy with irony or otherwise. Idiots being idiots I don't mind. Hypocrites being hypocrites I don't mind. But someone like that, who preyed on hatred and snobbery? She really earned it. I mean yeah, bear in mind this is someone whose very public opinion was that if you weren't upper class like her, you were worthless scum and automatically brought it on yourself and deserved it. It's poetic justice.
For anyone who is still confused, Katie Hopkins was a former UK TV personality and "journalist" who basically was no different than alex jones or sean hanity and got the daily mail where she worked sued multiple times because she would famously make demonstratively false claims, accusations and attacks against innocent people...
she even falsely accused an innocent Muslim family on air for being connected to terrorism, and was hit with a massive lawsuit becasue of her false claims.
She was fired from her job becasue she was a liability and now has joined the right wing Canadian media group Rebel media,
who are a bunch of bigots, right wing fanatics, sell-outs, media and or Hollywood wash-outs who couldn't make it in real media or Hollywood because they don't allow you to make false claims, racist and outright sexist rants on real news or civil society...
and whose primary viewership are no brained conservatives, the alt/radical right, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
Hadn't realized she'd gone in that direction. Not surprizing though.
+ Jane Ross
Rebel media likes to advertise itself as a alternative news channel/free speech media site...where no one gets "censored" and you can basically say any racist, sexist and or insane thing you want...
the kind of stuff that attracts right wing and ultra-nationalist personalities who want a sheild to be openly racist and sexist...
So it makes sense Hopkins would go there...She's been sued and gotten in trouble for saying whatever she felt/wanted especially if it was untrue and bigoted...
Yep, makes sense. Bunch of instant gratification types chasing that adrenaline rush of outdoing each other, nobody wondering about why they actually want to say things like that in the first place. Hmm, in a way they must be even more miserable in a place like that than they are in the real world. Nobody to blame, and nobody to shock. A self-created hell, in a way. Is that why those social spaces tend to turn into murderer factories?

People said the Simpson’s was terrible for the first year or so
Same thing tfst every cartoon does
It always take a season or two to hit their stride
The first season of the Simpsons is really unfunny.
So what?
That's because all of the writers were relatively inexperienced since they were creating something relatively new, so ofc first tries were clumsy.
Not only that, but Futurama was great from start to finish!
Honestly, Disenchantment has no excuses for being lackluster.
Rick and morty or Bojack Horseman are great from start to finish
I think he pointed that out near the end of the video
I thought it was really enjoyable
Agree
Same
yes
But why?
I feel it had potential. I like the basic idea and I think it could be so much better than it is. The second half of the series was actually much better than the first half.
Whenever we overthink comedy (based on "rules" we learn in the internet) it stops being funny. Somethings are supposed to be light and somewhat forgettable, like: ok it wasn't the simpsons or bojack horseman but it got me entertained for 30 min.
Actually, good shows shine brighter like that. Futurama, South Park, Avatar: The Last Airbender, all become better the more you analyse and pay attention. In fact, a lot of jokes even become funnier, ala episode 200/201
@@kellennicholson4488 I agree, especially south park is normally funny but if you really pay attention especially in the layer seasons it becomes really hilarious. (At least to me)

I'm brazillian and the voice acting for the show is full of memes (most of our memes are made by scandals in front of the cameras or funny situations in front of the cameras) and the brazillian dub makes it look way funnier with a more sassy voice to luci, a more innocent and childish voice for elfo and a sassy and incredible voice for bean and the other characters.

I actually really enjoyed Disenchantment, quite possibly since, like he explained, it caters more towards a juvenile audience rather than adults. It's like it's an absolute masterpiece or anything, but I enjoy some light comedy.
Also I actually laughed at the "I'm drowning I'm Elfo" joke
I loved that part 🤣
@@danielmcmillion8888 sameeeee
Just did a full series marathon of "Disenchanted" and was thinking about making a video on it myself but you have covered everything I was going to say a lot better than I would have done!!!
The whole thing comedicly felt like they put in just enough for it to feel like a Matt Groening programme but his heart wasnt really in it. In the simpsons and futurama most of the comedy came from the fact that the characters were truly ridiculous and the comedy came from absurd combinations of people interacting, but with this because the characters were never strong enough in the first place, they relied on "Zingers" that nobody was prepared to think up. Felt like I a case of "What can we get away with" rather than "What else can we squeeze in".
In the last few years, Greonings comedy has felt a little weaker than it used to be but he has got much better at storytelling and getting an emotional response from viewers, the last couple of episodes I could see that that is what he was trying to do, and thats fine if you like his recent stuff, but given that most people agree that his earlier stuff was better, I think he made a lot of bad bets through the whole thing and almost none of it worked. The pop culture stuff was great but that has always been a safe bet with him.
I watched the whole season back to back and felt I had wasted my time, if I could have thought of anything I wanted to watch I would have ditched this, my gf only got as far as 3 episodes before making her mind up. It could have been great, it definitely wasn't... Keep up the good work though, still love your style bud
Thanks! You said one thing I should have but didn't - it felt like his heart wasn't in it, and that's the crux of the issue. If you want to make a video, don't not do it just because of mine! Other people have made far more successful videos on this topic before I did (only one of which I actually watched), but I wanted to give my own thoughts.
You do realize Matt Groening does NOT write his shows?
He provides some editorial input but these shows literally have crews of writers and no single one person writes EVERY line in a series! It's not uncommon for people to submit a story idea but the final script has very little dialogue that that person actually wrote themselves.
There's a whole controversy about what Groening did or didn't create in The Simpsons. The final designs of the characters are NOT his... They're very different from the Tracey Ullman Show where they originated (and on which he did the original character designs) and on The Simpsons TV series they're generally softer and not anywhere near as mean-spirited as those original versions, too.
A lot of people people credit "The Spirit" of The Simpsons to the late Sam Simon, the original head writer. You should really read The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History by John Ortved. Very eye-opening -- Matt Groening is the Gene Roddenberry of The Simpsons in every good and negative sense of that phrase. There's a reason why Sam Simon won a MAJOR lawsuit against Groening and Gracie Films...
And I'm sure it would be equally as bad, one shitty amateurish take is plenty
I personally like the show. There is just this certain simplicity to it. I can't quite explain it but what I can say is that it's not something to take seriously. Just something you can watch while relaxing after a long day kind of thing. However, I do understand why some people don't like it. In the end, it's just a show. If you like it, you do. If you don't, ya don't. Either way, it's fine

@LS AE LMFOAOOOOOOOO
That’s literally gonna be her when she’s old
The worst part about this show for me was that they never went anywhere. They always stayed in the same kingdom and the jokes just got old. If they went somewhere interesting and made their jokes off of that setting like Futurama did they would have made a much better show. It’s supposedly be a fantasy after all
So you've not watched the later season.
Ruby Snow I have but they just end up back at the same place in an episode or two. It’s not that they never leave but rather that most of the time they set the show in the kingdom

I love Disenchantment! I love it’s medieval but still modern vibe and I’m literally always quoting it and therefore confusing people. Also I think the intro of the series goes with the medieval vibe really well..
Bean’s dad is by far the funniest character on the show
I’d say elfo
Fucking hilarious dude
I honestly don't remember laughing once throughout this whole show. Every joke felt so forced. And the bait-and-switch you were talking about, I feel like they did to jokes what George RR Martin has done to character deaths. They wanted them to surprise you and for you to never know whether or not it was going to be a thing, but they overdid it so much that now you just expect it to happen every time.
I'm not sure what went wrong, honestly. I feel like they didn't get a second opinion on anything they decided to include.
@@CynicalReviews m.imdb.com/title/tt5363918/fullcredits/writer?ref_=m_ttfc_2 So, they have two writers who have extensive experience with Simpsons and Futurama, and two who have none as the main writers for all 10 episodes. And they have a bunch of random writing credits for one episode here or there for several more people, some of which have no experience with Futurama or Simpsons, and at least one which has no cartoon experience at all.
So a mixed bag then. Nothing wrong necessarily with having inexperienced writers alongside more experienced ones. It's my impression that with a lot of these shows the scripts are written by the whole team and then individual writing credits are given out for each episode, but I might be wrong.
@@CynicalReviews yeah, I don't know that we can draw any concrete conclusions from that information. But it is clear that somehow the amalgamation of those people on each episode didn't work as well as you would expect.
The story seems like a Movie they tried to stretch into a series, which explains everything being slow boring and lacking of content, typical modern Hollywood laziness in action.
Dude, are you using the same elevator song that IHE uses?
I actually fell in love with the show. Still waiting for Part 3 & 4
I laughed at the "YOUR RUINING OUR LIVES!"
And I cried at Elfo’s death 😓
Honestly my biggest problem with the show is that 95% of the jokes feel like...
Imagine you had a role playing game with your friends, you laughed over it together, reminisced over the wacky characters and antics you made, and then you tried to turn it into a cartoon.
The problem is that for everyone but you and your friends, the jokes won't actually land, because they're the types of random things that 'You had to be there' to find funny.
Everything is so random that it feels like I'd find it funnier if it were my friends telling the jokes, with the benefit of theater of the mind. There are times I find it funny, but honestly I've found myself laughing more at Family Guy jokes, because at least sometimes they cut away to something I find half funny, in an embarrassing way.
Seth McJokeStealingFarlane is somehow funnier than the father of the Simpsons, which is kind of sad given the kind of low effort crap he pushes in all 3 of his shows.
As a side note. All this animation budget on Disenchantment's opening and promotion, yet the animation is stiff, and lazy in many parts, like early American Dad episodes, just phoned in with characters simply sanding completely still with only their faces moving.
Maybe if they get rid of the "Lol, so random" and "Hey, fellow kids" kind of vibes the show gives me, I'll laugh more than once an episode :\

Do you..... actually have an example of him not understanding the humor? Forgive me if I do not simply take your word for it. Which were the jokes that went over his head? Because without an example, it just looks like you took it a little too personally that he called the show juvenile.

@@Ugly_German_Truths But the show isn't funny. Most of it's humor is lazy and overdone.

I didn't think it was either but maybe we interpreted the scene differently
I respectfully disagree with most of this review. The series might need to move onto a new plot point and with the amount of episodes it gets it's difficult to develop the side characters. I would like to see interesting character development in general in the series which would be similar to Futurama, but a bit different because often I thought Futurama's characters were flat (Leela is my all-time fave from that series, but that's hardly relevant). Disenchantment is fun fluff to watch if nothing else because it makes fun of fantasy genre tropes etc.
I'm surprised that you found Futurama's characters flat. Almost everyone, even side characters, get some depth by the end of the show. I suppose Scruffy the Janitor is an exception, but other than that the people of Planet Express are pretty fleshed out imo
It's not as great as futurama, but it's not as horrible as current simpsons.
