OMG!
Ok, so I've just watched the first episode of ::
Stargate Infinity :: and believe me it will be the last... I have nothing
to say that is positive about this "cartoon" *said with the utmost
scorn*... So if you think you like this piece of trash then please just
leave now...
Plot
What bloody plot? as with anything the US make a cartoon
from, you know there IS no plot, neither will it ever really end or have
any baring on the series it's meant to be taking it's inspiration from...
And this cartoon is no exception to that rule... Set only 30 years in the
future the only thing that's recognisable is the look of the Stargate it's
self, but wait, when animated it looks like that old TV show 'The Time
tunnel' we don't have a pond ripple effect, no, we are subjected to a whirlpool?
and when the Chevrons lock it sounds like some demented microwave pinging,
and I have to mention the ramp to the Stargate, it looks so crap, like
they got the floor from some game or other!. We also get reminded that
they are at, in and working for "Stargate Command" not just the
SGC... Also, Zat-Guns? nope, Staff Weapons? umm if their yellow and
pathetic looking? yes?... mention of Goa'ulds? umm non... But they do find
an Ancient and it's a green blob... *yawns unenthusiastically*
About the only plot there is is... Gus is a runaway framed by some Shape
Shifter *ow ya the SGC don't have Security cameras anymore* And as they go
to fight the bad guys, I think it's basically a case of the SGC is after
them as AWAL, and they also must fight a lot of aliens and clear their
names? or something equally boring and done before...
Inspiring? hell no...
Animation
I have to confess that I'm nothing but an Anime (Japanese
Animation) follower, with the exception of the 'Batman' and 'Batman of the
Future' (Beyond) Animation's from the US... And this is one of those ones
that make me so glad that the Japanese hate Disney as much as me...
This animation is worse than sub standard, the character design sucks as
they jerk around the overly done blurry background that sits so badly with
the characters is painful... You can see where they got lazy and just let
the computers fill in the animation... This is when the characters don't
get all deformed by the so called artists.
Characters
(Using the picture opposite of the main chara)
Stacey Bonner: The pink haired reject
from 'Tank Girl', Cadet, Expert in Martial Arts, Daughter of the guy in
the middle.
Seattle Montoya: The native America
Beauty, gifted with empathy and no doubt the object to keep the male
viewers watching...
Gus Bonner: US Air force Major, and
leader of the cadets, What can I say, the needed the large beefy old guy,
it's a US animation >_<.
R.J. Harrison: What does his profile
say?... Wise cracking? a typical US Jock twat meant to keep us girlies
watching... riiiight.
Ec'Co: Tech expert, half human and
half Booger alien *shivers at the though of his parents mating ritual*
He's the sickly green silent type...
Character Design
Good grief, another square jaw and I might get out my chisels!
They are all so stereotypically American that it's painful! all they need
is a butch lesbian in a waist coat, a Raster man smoking a splif and some
geek in a wheel chair and they will be politically correct too!... Nothing
special about any of the chara design that we haven't seen spill from
poorly paid animators before.
The uniforms are also nothing new and diabolically useless if their
enemies actually decides to get good at aiming. Gods help them if one of
the enemy also decides to stab any of them in the groin for a long and painful
death, I think the animators watched to much 'Macross Plus' for these out
fits.
The Aliens they first encounter look like rejects from 'Thundercats'.
Conclusion
This animation is shit, The only thing this animation thinks it
has going for it is the Stargate name and that's all, another 'Johnny
Quest' spew up poorly animated weak and feeble excuse for a cartoon that
will see it's one season and no more... If it does see another season then
there is just no justice in this world...
I would have though I would be prejudiced to this cartoon seen as I love
the characters from SG1 so much, *scoffs* but no, there is nothing to be
sorry or guilty for. When faced with something this diabolically bad, all
one can do is laugh at it and feel sorry for the poor bastards who commissioned
and paid for it and even sorry for the animators that put their names to
it cause who the hell wants to employ them after this?
Just another note... I have still yet to find ANYONE who
likes this "Cartoon", or anyone who gives a shit to watch it for
sadistic purposes just so they can then also slag it off... even I'm not
that masochistic to get up at 9am on a Saturday morning only to ruin my
weekend...
This should be renamed to :: The Time Tunnel Infinitively
Crap ::
PS: This isn't a 'Get at Americans'. I just don't like a
lot of American animation... I'm an Japanese Anime freak ok... no offence
:P
