I didn't like Disenchantment. Here's why.
Disenchantment is an animated comedy series on Netflix and the latest creation of Matt Groening. For all two of you who don’t know, he’s also responsible for The Simpsons and Futurama, two of the most popular and iconic animated shows ever made. So of course, hopes were very high.
Set in the fantasy kingdom of Dreamland, the show follows the rebellious Princess Bean and her friends as they cause trouble, get up to various escapades, and spend a lot of time getting shitfaced. It sets out to offer a subversive parody of the fantasy genre and a more “mature” form of comedy than any of Groening’s previous creations. Sounds good, right? Well, no. It isn’t. In fact, I found it a massive disappointment.

Bruce Wayne, it's entirely for the reason that as a public persona, she existed purely to find fun it the downfall of others, kick the poor, scoff at anything the slightest bit fun as "moral degradation" (we're talking things as harmless as tattoos and hairstyles), all that kind of thing. She made herself deliberately the most hateable person possible, because it got her TV time, because it got shows ratings, basically. Now... either she truly believed her own venomous crap, or she was an advantageous chancer who didn't care what hate she spread so long as she earned coin off it. Either way, fuck her and all that she stood for. Now normally, I wouldn't go for such schadenfruede, heavy with irony or otherwise. Idiots being idiots I don't mind. Hypocrites being hypocrites I don't mind. But someone like that, who preyed on hatred and snobbery? She really earned it. I mean yeah, bear in mind this is someone whose very public opinion was that if you weren't upper class like her, you were worthless scum and automatically brought it on yourself and deserved it. It's poetic justice.

@mckenzie.latham91 6 лет назад

For anyone who is still confused, Katie Hopkins was a former UK TV personality and "journalist" who basically was no different than alex jones or sean hanity and got the daily mail where she worked sued multiple times because she would famously make demonstratively false claims, accusations and attacks against innocent people... she even falsely accused an innocent Muslim family on air for being connected to terrorism, and was hit with a massive lawsuit becasue of her false claims. She was fired from her job becasue she was a liability and now has joined the right wing Canadian media group Rebel media, who are a bunch of bigots, right wing fanatics, sell-outs, media and or Hollywood wash-outs who couldn't make it in real media or Hollywood because they don't allow you to make false claims, racist and outright sexist rants on real news or civil society... and whose primary viewership are no brained conservatives, the alt/radical right, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

@Torthrodhel 6 лет назад

Hadn't realized she'd gone in that direction. Not surprizing though.

@mckenzie.latham91 6 лет назад

+ Jane Ross Rebel media likes to advertise itself as a alternative news channel/free speech media site...where no one gets "censored" and you can basically say any racist, sexist and or insane thing you want... the kind of stuff that attracts right wing and ultra-nationalist personalities who want a sheild to be openly racist and sexist... So it makes sense Hopkins would go there...She's been sued and gotten in trouble for saying whatever she felt/wanted especially if it was untrue and bigoted...

@Torthrodhel 6 лет назад

Yep, makes sense. Bunch of instant gratification types chasing that adrenaline rush of outdoing each other, nobody wondering about why they actually want to say things like that in the first place. Hmm, in a way they must be even more miserable in a place like that than they are in the real world. Nobody to blame, and nobody to shock. A self-created hell, in a way. Is that why those social spaces tend to turn into murderer factories?

@CynicalReviews 6 лет назад

Very true. The Simpsons should have been laid to rest a along time ago.

@AvengerII 6 лет назад

Old Yeller was shot when he HAD to be. The Simpsons are a full-blown bubonic plague! They're at least 15 years past freshness and moldy. When they couldn't do funny Treehouse of Horror episodes consistently anymore and The Movie stunk, I knew it was over... It's still fun to watch the first 6-8 seasons but the rest afterwards is very forgettable. I'm actually glad Futurama was cancelled when it was originally. When they brought it back, it really lost its specialness across the direct-to-video movies and Comedy Central original episodes. The writers changed between cancellation and when it was brought back and that made a HUGE difference. The first 78 episodes of Futurama are rewatchable -- after that, not so much! I concede that it could also be that I changed, too, but going back to The Simpsons and re-watching those first six seasons and what happened after Season 7 -- big, big difference. That show was burned out on consistency before they hit Season 10... I honestly don't think most shows stay fresh much past Season 4. A good time to end most shows would be after the fifth or sixth season but "successful" shows in first run generally far too long and have crummy series finales.

Because he's not being an arse about it. Most other cynical reviews of TV series tends to nitpick the hell outta shows and talk in circles for 1 hour for no other reason than to get a rise out of its audience enough to gather up all the clicks. The points he made about Disenchantment was spot on, and they weren't nitpicks. I wish people gave Disenchantment a chance or just skip episodes 3-7 and just watch 1-2 and everything after episode 7 because there's something worth watching here. But I also can't fault them for not bothering after the first season was so weak.

There is not one thing that distinguishes this series from straight-to-video one-offs, except the names of the people attached to it.

I just realized - Futurama has a definitive trio (Fry, Leela, Bender), Disenchantment has a definitive trio (Bean, Elfo, Luci), but the Simpsons...I don't even know. Do we say it has a...quinto? Quintet? Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie? But no that can't be right, because Maggie is hardly present and Marge and Lisa get considerably less focus in the plots and jokes. Is it Homer, Carl, and Lenny? Bart, Lisa, and Millhouse? None of it really works because the show is more about a whole family, the dynamics between the family members, and the individual antics of each family member. Futurama and Disenchantment are way more similar to each other than to the Simpsons.

it seems most people always forget one thing. Matt Groening was the creator of Futurama and the Simpsons.. but HE WASN'T the writer. Most of the succes of those series after many reviews it's mostly thanks to the great writers (at least until season 8/9 in the Simpsons). My point it's that Matt was never knew to be a great writer and this series it's the proof that even Groening, whitout great writers, can only go so far as to a meh...

@matthewmuir8884 4 года назад

This seems to be a recurring thing nowadays: the creator of the series has a strong team and together they make something great. Then, time for a prequel or sequel or spiritual successor, the creator has to also do the writing, and it is not nearly as good: Star Wars: George Lucas had a whole team for the OT -> Had only yes-men for the Prequel Trilogy.

Also it's not really widely known, but Groening wasn't alone. They made the Simpsons together with Csupó, ( I think Csupó did the first character designs, but I'm not 100% sure about that). But for whatever reason only Groening's name stuck on the series, and people don't credit Csupó for his work on the Simpsons.

@kaif-tube1692 6 лет назад

Just my 2 cents on the racist antelope. Earlier in the episode there's a sign in the background that said something along the lines of "Beware of racist antelope" which, when I saw it, thought it was just a random sign that wasn't going anywhere. But then when the antelope DID show up it was a nice unexpected pay off. EDIT: I guess some people think the sign by itself would have been good enough. Humor's subjective of course, but as for myself, if it was the sign by itself it would have been a stupid random and pointless background detail (which is what I thought it was when I first saw it until the deer showed up. Then it, at least, had some sort of payoff). Not saying the joke is some sort of masterpiece or anything, it's not even that good. But, at least for me, it was better than if it were just any of the two elements by themselves.

@orinanime 6 лет назад

Whoa I am late to the party but RU-vid just recommended this to me so here goes: I'd also add that Disenchantment lacks an emotional core. Homer, for all his laziness and stupidity, loves his family and wants to be respected in his eyes. He wants to be a "good father" and has to battle against his own faults to that end. That's what makes him , in my opinion, a heroic character in contrast to someone like Peter Griffen. In Futurama the same can be said for Fry. He loves Leela. He loves Bender. He loves life and is literally living his futuristic dream. Despite suffering from many of the same faults as Homer, Fry 's love hand happiness seems to be the driving goal for his adventures and his emotional justification for his choices. Princess Bean on the other hand ... just likes to drink. She's cut from the same emotional laziness as (sorry, Seth, I love Orville but...) Peter Griffen. Disenchantment feels less like Simpsons or Futurama and more like Family Guy meets HarmonQuest . HarmonQuest is also better than Disenchantment!

@spicynoodles2742 3 года назад

"Princess Bean on the other hand ... just likes to drink" I would like to argue against this, although her character spends her time in a tavern as the show progresses, they give us various indications why she became alcoholic. Being the first, and something that she also tends to blame, is the bad example she had to follow from her father, the fact that she always felt that her brother was treated better since he is the official heir, the loss of her mother, and the fact that she could never be romantically related to anyone else, since everyone is afraid of Zog, also being that reason why she has only two friends. As well in season 2 it is shown that she has emotional damage, but her father taught her to ignore it and pretend that nothing happen instead of fixing it or talking about it, so in the end she ended up resorting to beer and constant fights, to forget about it. Although I sincerely wish there was a little more evolution between Bean's relationship with her father, or her brother, now that her stepmother is out of the picture. Since, although some episodes are dedicated to it, this evolution is lost in the next one. Even so, the evolution she has had with the protagonists is decent and even with the bad jokes, I still watch it for the story and all the construction of the world. But tha't just my opinion, and I respect yours.

@lyvectra6270 3 года назад

It might only appeal to a small subset of the population. It sounds like you feel the heart of the show should be someone who has some positive aspects in their emotional state and cares about things outside themselves. That isn't what Bean is. She is in a negative emotional state day in and day out, and if you listen closely she cares about the people in the kingdom and wants to make something of herself but doesn't know how to even begin to try. Her relationship with her father is something that I personally relate to----one of being constrained to specific roles because of societal expectation, but not really being enforced (I'm a female, so I'm supposed to be thin and pretty and nice, but my dad only once a week tries to enforce a diet, lots of inconsistency growing up and just resentment now that I'm an adult); caring about each other but not really having the right emotional connection to express it outwardly, it's more just subtle things and it only shows up during times of stress; the attempts for the father to control the daughter, etc. I think there are women who can relate to Bean, sans the uncontrollable drinking.

I personally like the show. There is just this certain simplicity to it. I can't quite explain it but what I can say is that it's not something to take seriously. Just something you can watch while relaxing after a long day kind of thing. However, I do understand why some people don't like it. In the end, it's just a show. If you like it, you do. If you don't, ya don't. Either way, it's fine

I can agree with a lot of this...however I don't need everything to have a music track to tell me how I should be feeling during a scene. The impact of what's going on in the scene should be enough to create the intended feeling. I actually am not a fan of series or films that have music playing the whole time x.x (and, quite frankly, could have done without the background music during your review - it kind of washed it out a bit - but that's your choice, it's your channel)

@BadBeany 6 лет назад

Just did a full series marathon of "Disenchanted" and was thinking about making a video on it myself but you have covered everything I was going to say a lot better than I would have done!!! The whole thing comedicly felt like they put in just enough for it to feel like a Matt Groening programme but his heart wasnt really in it. In the simpsons and futurama most of the comedy came from the fact that the characters were truly ridiculous and the comedy came from absurd combinations of people interacting, but with this because the characters were never strong enough in the first place, they relied on "Zingers" that nobody was prepared to think up. Felt like I a case of "What can we get away with" rather than "What else can we squeeze in". In the last few years, Greonings comedy has felt a little weaker than it used to be but he has got much better at storytelling and getting an emotional response from viewers, the last couple of episodes I could see that that is what he was trying to do, and thats fine if you like his recent stuff, but given that most people agree that his earlier stuff was better, I think he made a lot of bad bets through the whole thing and almost none of it worked. The pop culture stuff was great but that has always been a safe bet with him. I watched the whole season back to back and felt I had wasted my time, if I could have thought of anything I wanted to watch I would have ditched this, my gf only got as far as 3 episodes before making her mind up. It could have been great, it definitely wasn't... Keep up the good work though, still love your style bud

@CynicalReviews 6 лет назад

Thanks! You said one thing I should have but didn't - it felt like his heart wasn't in it, and that's the crux of the issue. If you want to make a video, don't not do it just because of mine! Other people have made far more successful videos on this topic before I did (only one of which I actually watched), but I wanted to give my own thoughts.

@AvengerII 6 лет назад

You do realize Matt Groening does NOT write his shows? He provides some editorial input but these shows literally have crews of writers and no single one person writes EVERY line in a series! It's not uncommon for people to submit a story idea but the final script has very little dialogue that that person actually wrote themselves. There's a whole controversy about what Groening did or didn't create in The Simpsons. The final designs of the characters are NOT his... They're very different from the Tracey Ullman Show where they originated (and on which he did the original character designs) and on The Simpsons TV series they're generally softer and not anywhere near as mean-spirited as those original versions, too. A lot of people people credit "The Spirit" of The Simpsons to the late Sam Simon, the original head writer. You should really read The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History by John Ortved. Very eye-opening -- Matt Groening is the Gene Roddenberry of The Simpsons in every good and negative sense of that phrase. There's a reason why Sam Simon won a MAJOR lawsuit against Groening and Gracie Films...

@Mark W I kinda agree with that on a less intense level lol. I mean first of all I really don't think disenchantment is garbage or anything like that. Even in it's worse episode, it's not groundbreaking, not extremely funny but it can still be endearing. But I agree in general. I've had people telling me to hold on with some tv show or movie, and I did for a bit before I realizde that even if the second part of it would be the most incredibly crafted and amazing piece of art, if the first part is bad, the show will never be "good". Just medium quality at best. But I don't think you should give up entirely on tv shows. There's some really good ones out there. There's some stuff for everyone and probably a lot that you can really like and get into straight from the pilot or the second episode.
