Blog:Furious Five (season 1, FAKE SHOW)

Furious Five is an American cartoon created by me. It is planned to have 5 seasons and 65 episodes. It’s currently on it’s third season. This article will only focus on the 1st season which was back when it was all about mocking common tropes in action shows rather than telling a story.

Plot
Deep in the mysterious town that lacks a name...lies an evil alliance known as the Scrawny Six. However, a group known as the Furious Five have come to put a stop to them once and for all!

Bad Qualities
Note: This show is actually good. We are only putting it here because the creator purposely made the show cliched. Also, this page is what taking a satirical show too seriously and using heavy nitpicks would look like.
 * 1) This show’s name could possibly be a rip off of the Fantastic Four.
 * 2) *The name is also similar to Grandmaster and the Furious Five
 * 3) The good vs evil style was WAY outdated by this point. It would’ve worked better in the 80’s. Not the 2020’s!
 * 4) Most of the characters (with the exception of Big Ross and Tikison) are cliched in some way or another.
 * 5) *Johnny is your average dumbass + fearless hero and he always has his shirt off
 * 6) *Barry is the idiot sidekick
 * 7) *Aisha is the tomgirl character
 * 8) *Louie is a stereotypical Italian (though likeable)
 * 9) *Ol’ Wise All is your typical wise old man (even though, he’s once again, one of the more likeable characters)
 * 10) *Sir Brunte is a Dr Claw ripoff
 * 11) *Dennis and Jeremy are imitations of Horace and Jasper and Scratch and Grounder.
 * 12) *The Darkest is a generic Edgelord
 * 13) *Cracks-a-lot is LITERALLY a moustache twirling over the top villain!
 * 14) *And even the Rat Gang are cliched in their own ways
 * 15) *Vinny is your typical gang leader
 * 16) *Jeff is the nerd
 * 17) *Squeakitall is the coward
 * 18) *And Red Robin is the hothead of the four.
 * 19) While the voice acting isn’t bad, some of the girl background characters scream their lungs out EVERYTIME they’re in trouble! This can be annoying to some viewers.
 * 20) It has the same formulaic episodes as the next superhero show! Bad guys do something, someone is in trouble, good guys fight, save them, the end!
 * 21) Some characters like Vinny, the Darkest, and Sir Brunte can be real mean spirited at times
 * 22) This show can be too dark and scary for some viewers.
 * 23) Inappropriate moments in a kid’s show.
 * 24) *In one episode, Johnny and Louie are seen smoking which could promote smoking in a children’s cartoon. It works when the villains smoke because they’re bad guys, but it doesn’t when HEROES do it
 * 25) *Also in that same episode, Johnny almost drinks stupidity juice in a bottle that resembles beer
 * 26) *And if that’s not enough, there’s one line in Rat Gang Returns where Vinny almost curses. “Oh shhhhhhhhhoooooot we forgot”
 * 27) Weird dramatic scenes at times

Good Qualities

 * 1) The action scenes are entertaining
 * 2) Good animation
 * 3) As mentioned before, all the characters were meant to be cliched except Big Ross and Tikison
 * 4) The intro is beautifully animated
 * 5) Most of the mean spirited characters have somewhat redeemed themselves since the end of season 1.
 * 6) The pacing is good

Trivia
I said I got the idea from a dream I had about two gay boys drawn in space. I also stated I got the idea to make the worst villains ever and the most entertaining.
