Gods and Monsters Chronicles - Big

Wonder Woman, Bekka of the new gods, has to rescue her friend Steve Trevor from the terrorist group Kobra.

The Good

This episode is un-like the others that came before it, in a good-way. I light-hearted and dear I say it – fun. The previous two animations very good, but very – very dark, which is fine. But this episode is just a funny action packed story. It may not have as much substance as the other ones but it’s a nice break from the others.

Wonder Woman’s powers and abilities are really cool, actually most of the action in this is really well done. The way they blend her new god powers into the classic fighting she is doing is really cool.

The character dynamic between Steve and Bekka, was my only unsure point but I ultimately put it up here because it did make me smile a few times though sometimes it came off as dry.

The Bad

Wonder Woman’s costume was too revealing, just like the Harley Quinn’s costume in the Batman episode.

(Also – Kobra really?)

The Ugly (The Verdict)

Like I have said, this was fun, fun episode. The character was funny and her dialogue with Steve did make me laugh as well as the action be very well done. But honestly it was just this and lacked substance. I know it’s a short but in the Superman short it gave us a great look at the world showing us all the other characters as well as the conclusion showing us a very different take on the man of steel. This like the Batman episode was good but lacking the depth to make it great.

Razor - Update 3? 23? I have no idea.

Gods and Monster Chronicles – Bomb

When Brainiac gets loose on Metropolis, it’s up to Superman, the son of Zod to stop him.

The Good

The characters, designs and all were really good in this short. I was cool to see Amanda Waller and Dr. Sivana in it, and nicer to see Amanda back to her original design. The changes were interesting; making Amanda Waller president was a cool twist though I’m not sure how Dr. Sivana fits into it. Hopefully that will be explained further in the movie.The Brainiac twist was great and very sad at the same time.

Onto Superman – this version is interesting and his different moral code makes him more unexpected also his entrance was very cool. Though he is willing to do what’s necessary he’s by no means a monster and that makes his reaction to the ending more fascinating.

The background and city designs were very beautiful and the tone fit the story very well.

The Bad

(This does not impact the score) But this short was just dark and depressing.

The Ugly (The Verdict)

The second short of the first season was better than the last. It had much more character and heart to it than the Batman one and also gave us much better feel and view of this different world. The character twists were interesting and the ultimate conclusion that came out of them was very good, even if a bit dark. The darkness was there but handled in such a way that it was intriguing and not dissuading. A very good short and maybe the highlight of the season, though it remains to be seen.

Gods and Monsters Chronicles - Twisted

In a dark alternate world, Harley Quinn faces off against the Batman – but he’s not what she is expecting.

The Good

The animation for Batman, and the environment is very nice and gives off creepy feel that does fit the different universe it is set in. It’s a nice blend of the Timm-verse animation with the current DC-animated movie style. The fighting in Harley Quinn’s room was pretty cool and the dialogue she had was quite funny, though Batman’s final line was by far the best in the short.

This short leaves a lot of questions unanswered question and honestly I’m not sure if it’s a good or a bad thing. I’m putting it in this place because it does have a lot of potential to become something either in the spin-off comics, season 2 of the show and, of course – the movie.

The Bad

The episode had a bit of a slow start and the music felt a bit off in the beginning, it got better as the episode but still a rough start.

The Harley Quinn design is the worst costume she’s had in a while in my opinion. It does make her much more creepy which does fit the tone but honestly it’s a bit too revealing.

Side note – (This doesn’t affect the score) The gore was bit over the top over for me.

The Ugly (The Verdict)

A cool, interesting short that defiantly got me into the Gods and Monsters universe and made me want more. Though nothing breathtakingly amazing, the short was nicely voiced, well directed and good-looking. This is a great set up for what’s to come and all around nice one off episode.

OK, people. Goals.

OK, big corporate higher ups let's get it together and make a new Star Trek series that is awesome on the level of The Flash. Also while we're at it -  #SaveConstantine

Razor Script Update #2

OK, been a while but know I've got more details. I've finished issues 1 and 2 of Razor and have made a large amount to headway on issue 3. That's really all I can say,  but the project is really beginning to come together.
