One of the best animated TV shows of all time.

By far one of the most amazing animated shows, and just in general, ever made. The only minor instances of "wokeness" (more like liberal-leaning, really) would be one or two 'girl-power' episodes, but it's handled in a balanced way, and doesn't detract or distract at all from the rest of the show. The show is perfect and fun for kids or adults of any age. There are also plenty of adult jokes hidden in the show that kids won't get.

Being only two seasons long, the plot and story are excellently delivered and suspenseful, strung out along both seasons. There aren't any filler episodes. Every episode adds something. Character development, an addition to the story or mystery, emotion, etc. Gravity Falls is fun, goofy, weird and creepy, with hidden puzzles, and one of the best villains, if not THE best villain ever on Disney, and one of the best villains in general. And the music is just as good. Think of Owl House but better and no LGBT cr*p. This show is really something special.

If you haven't watched this show, do so. I highly recommended it.

Enjoyed it.

I've seen complaints about this online, first I can't compare it to the original movies. I'm sure I seen them when I was a kid but I can't remember, so i'm going fresh into watching this.

I really enjoyed most if it, impactful, cinematic, no wokeness. The impact was let down by the ending and what you could say the 'meaning of it all' that I won't expand on as it'll give it away.

But still well worth a watch.

Based on 1st episode, good, but will possibly not watch further.

The good: Bates is (expectedly) brilliant, and her character is witty and well written. Nice bit of social engineering in the opening scene. All along really. Also, over-arching plot, apparently.

The bad: forced diversity. Nowhere is that diverse. Also, the episode does a very messy job of distancing itself from the original show (and thus accusations of gender-swapping), but a very good job of stealing its lunch, up until the court-room drama, and last-second surprise witness. So yeah, gender-swapped. Why not go for an original name instead of very obviously riding coat-tails.

The ugly: no man can be both (vaguely) competent and white. Women complaining about men every few minutes. I know, that’s what they do, but I want escapism, not a documentary. Also, SJW talking points raised, and not in irony.

It’s irksome. On the fence about the whole show. Somehow gives off same feeling as Inside Out 2: woke vehicle hastily dismantled in hopes not to go broke. Show creator quite possibly overt feminist. Del Rio self(?)-described as 'Latinx'.
Time will tell if show for everybody, or just the enlightened /s.

Edit: watched further, activism toned down somewhat, although 'privilege' and racism are still there. White males less stupid, Bates still excellent as a sly old she-fox.

Further edit: non-white lesbians! Non-white lesbians everywhere! Will they have the balls (not assuming gender) to make the not-white oppressed woman the ultimate villain? Not sure.
I stand by my initial opinion: it was planned to be far woker, was toned down, but clever editing has its limits, particularly when you have a run time target. Excising the omni-lesbian would have also meant serious reshoots.

Final edit: The writers never let go of the permanent nagging and complaigning about men. Usual talking points, stops just short of the word patriarchy. Or factual evidence, as always with that kind of discourse.
Well, art imitates life, but I like my escapism a little less realistic.

Also, white men can never be good guys. They're at best neutral, with barely a positive quality. Which begs the question, how in hell did all the strong independent women in the show get hitched with such pussies. On the other hand, I wonder how any men would want to marry a self-professed perennial victim, so maybe I just don't get it. Maybe it's that way over in North America. Quite possibly, judging by the marriage rates.
In which case, you lads have all my sympathy.

Still, it does evolve into pretty overt racism toward the end of the series. Or is it sexism? Hey, why not both. I'm all for free speech, and people don't have to like me. But it does make for contrived writing.

All in all, this series leaves me with a mixed appreciation.
It's a bit like the German mustache enthusiast: he did get the trains running on time, too bad he was a genocidal socialist (pleonasm intended).

Matlock is good in many ways, but also hateful. The somewhat disguised hatred of the almost clever. Those about which cannot be said to forgive, because they know not what they do.

This is written knowingly, and the hatred is assumed.

The main character is race-swapped from white to black (in the book he was white)

I don't consider this woke. Yes, there are gays but that's the point of the story. It's not like they just randomly added some gays, no, it's a cornerstone of the movie, without which it can't exist. There is no agenda, no race-swapping, no rewritten history or portrayal of strong females and weak men. And the story is original.

It is just a story about 2 men who happened to be gay and their tragic life in the most conservative state of the US. There is no underlying meaning. The movie quality is very good.

A textbook woke trash

Just another typical Netflix woke garbage, with tons of gays, lesbians, race-swapping, sexual gay scenes and an overall horrible quality and stupidity. Not worth a minute of your life.

Awesome, highly recommended

I loved the first season, no woke bullshit, highly recommended. Good masculine characters.

Second season is also awesome so far 2 episodes in.

This is what we need more of.

More Of Godzilla the Environmentalist

Very heavy handed with the environmentalist propoganda. The acting is pretty bad and the film is full of cheesy attempts at humor. The opening
scenes is a blatent ripoff of Indiana Jones. The actor is terrible and seems to acidentally think hes supposed to be dollar store Rambo instead
of Jones. The monsters look pretty good and the action and special FX are actually decent for their time. If you can overlook the down your throat
preachy environmentalist crap it might be worth a watch.

Excellent show about excellent cops torn between good and evil.

I must admit some woke elements interfered at one point, but within the limits of what I can bear. But we all have our own limits...
Good show, enjoyed it. Could have deserved the second season which was cancelled.

Woke Safe. Is there a need to search for wokeness in an early 2000's movie anyway...
Excellent film.

Woke safe. Some elements could bother some viewers (hense the 20%), but frankly, it's unsignificant. On the other hand, what a movie, what a piece of art, what an experience... So disturbing !
