Blog:High Mistakes, High Rewards (Henry’s Wonderful Life)

Why It Sucks

 * 1) To get the elephant out of the room, not only this is another C.W. torture episode, but this is the worst torture of any character.
 * 2) Len is an extremely unlikable and cruel character as he constantly attacks and tortures C.W. even when he didn’t do anything to him.
 * 3) Ben is just as unlikable as Len as he constantly laughs at his friend's pain and always defends Len’s actions by saying that “he's just shy.”
 * 4) The animation, character designs, and backgrounds is very awful and is at its absolute worst in this episode.
 * 5) *The backgrounds are absolutely hideous as most of it either look unfinished, dull, or washed-out.
 * 6) *There are tons of obvious animation mistakes such as in a handful of shots, the characters' eyes constantly disappearing.
 * 7) *The character designs are very stiff, bland, and robotic.
 * 8) *This due to the fact that Dendersen Animation was rushed to finish up the animation.
 * 9) This episode tries way too hard to make C.W. to look like the bad guy as he constantly calls Len rude names, even though Len obviously deserve to be called out.
 * 10) The use of slapstick with Len messing around with C.W is far too cruel, disturbing, scary, and lifelike that is most likely to make the viewers cringe other than laugh. The most infamous examples include:
 * 11) *Len bashing a pan on C.W skull leading to C.W’s skin to disturbingly crack.
 * 12) *Len constantly tossing around C.W against the wall
 * 13) *The infamous scene where Len stomped on C.W.’s hand leading it swells graphically.
 * 14) *All of the things that Len does on C.W cross into child abuse territory.
 * 15) Terrible ending: After constantly getting tortured by Len and Ben, C.W. finally leaves. It was then realized that Ben actually was pranking CW all along. This basically means that Len was torturing C.W. just for laughs.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) C.W. is the only likable and sympathetic character.
