What is going on guys?
This is Mykal Williams from Cartoon Universe,
and today I wanted to do a super short video.
Um, and just give my initial impressions
and thoughts on Mighty Magiswords.
Now if you guys are unaware,
Mighty Magiswords is basically the newest
Cartoon Network show to premiere.
They've been running shorts for, um, about a year
now or so, I think. And it's finally been picked up
uh, for an actual series on Cartoon Network.
So this is kinda the beginning of the new
era of Cartoon Network, cause you know they're getting
rid of a lot of shows. Adventure Time's going.
Gumball's going. Regular Show's going.
So this is kind of a, uh, this is kind of a weening
off of the old era. And an intro into the new era.
Um, so it's basically the newest show.
It's, um, long story short, it's pretty decent.
You know some of the jokes hit, some of the jokes,
um, are kind of weak. It's kind of hit or miss.
So the first half of the episode is split into two parts,
um, so there's two 11 minute episodes into one episode.
But I believe they still count as one episode.
Um, I don't think it's like Steven Universe where
every episode is only 11 minutes.
I think it's more like Star vs. the Forces of Evil
where there are two 11 minute episodes that count as one.
And, uh, the first episode was kind of weak,
wasn't super funny, wasn't super entertaining.
Um, but the second episode had a lot of jokes
that were just really well written and really well timed.
There were some weak ones that fell flat, but
over all the second episode was a lot better.
I'm not if there were, uh, different writers or
what was going on there.
Um, but it's a pretty decent show, I think it has a lot of
potential in the future.
Um, the pacing's really cool. Like it's very fast
paced. Very like beat. beat. beat. beat.
Um, and the animation is super, super duper
cartoony and zany and wild and stuff.
So that's kind of cool, we don't have a lot of
shows that are like, quite that extreme, you know.
It's basically... Imagine, uh, you know when Gumball
gets extreme or Adventure Time gets extreme.
Imagine that, but like, faster and almost all the time.
Um, so it's pretty cool. I like the idea of the
Magiswords, now every sword is like it's own,
uh, has it's own ability and some of them
actually have personalities and beings.
Um, I'm looking forward to that being explored more.
I don't think it's gonna get super deep and lorey,
or story heavy when it comes to the swords or anything.
They're mostly just comedic swords, like there's the
bacon one, and the cheese one. So they're not really
there for a very heavy emotional purpose.
But again, shows have been, um, kind of starting
off goofy and lighthearted, and getting a little
deeper. But this doesn't seem like one of those shows.
But it has a nice charm to it, I was pleasantly surprised.
Um, some of the shorts were kind of disappointing
like later on, like I watched a few and it was pretty good,
and then a few others that were not so good.
So I was kind of skeptical going into watching this premiere.
But it was actually pretty decent.
A fun tidbit for any, uh, Game Grumps fans,
Dan Avidan from Ninja Sex Party
and Game Grumps, um, actually sang the
theme song which is actually very catchy,
um, and very funny.
And then Arin Hanson/ Egoraptor did a voice of one of the main villians.
Um, so yeah, there's really interesting voice actors
in this. There's actually not that many, most of them
are actually voiced by, uh, the creator himself.
But they're very cartoony and a lot of very distinctive voices.
The music works very well with the timing of
the dialogue and the animation as well.
And, it's pretty decent. Is it a show that I would
sit down and watch every week? Probably not.
Um, it's just, it's not grabbing me that heavy.
But if I hear that it's starting to pick up and get
even better, which I think it might.
Um, then I might actually give that a try.
But I feel like as of right now, it's pretty decent.
It has a shot to, um, has a chance of being very
great, and it also has a chance of being very mediocre.
So I guess we'll wait and see how it pans out,
but if you haven't watched it, I'd check it out.
Like I said, it's not really my thing, it might be more your thing.
I would- It's one of those show I would check in on every
now and then to see how it's doing.
But, um, that's just my quick thoughts, nothing
to elaborate there.
Um, but let me know what you guys thought of
this premiere in the comments. What do you guys think
the shorts? Do you guys think this is gonna be
a very entertaining cartoon? Do you think this is,
like, a good sign for the new era of Cartoon Network?
Or are you kind of worried for the future once all
of the shows we've come to know and love
end up leaving? Let us know in the comments down below.
Anyway guys, thanks for watching! I've been
Michael Williams from Cartoon Universe,
and we will see you in the next video. Peace!
