User blog:TheMaximumMatt/Loud House October Bomb Thoughts

Tricked! - This Halloween special was amazing. The costumes were creative and suiting. The atmosphere this episode had was awesome. The story was well paced and well executed. Each character has their moments to shine. The music video was awesome and my favorite part of the episode. Luna’s voice actor did an amazing job at giving her such a cool singing voice. The ending was heartwarming. This was a really fun special and is definitely an underrated halloween special. There are plenty of great visuals and jokes to be found here. Then again, this is the Loud House. What else did you expect? Definitely check this out.

No Spoilers - The only big highlight here really is Leni. She is just adorable in this episode, being the ditzy, but lovable blonde with a heart of gold and shows just why she’s my favorite character, though like how people had problems with Lynn not fully changing in Lynner Takes All, I can definitely see people not being too cool with the ending, since Leni doesn’t fully stop being a spoiler, which I personally don’t have a problem with. Other than that... this episode was okay. Some of the gags were chuckle worthy, but nothing laugh out loud really. I can also see people being bugged by how repititve and predictable the story is. Other than that, if you really like Leni, give this episode a watch.

Read Aloud - I wouldn’t say this episode is my favorite Lola episode, since it does have consistency flaws, but from what I got, it was good. Lola, as usual with episodes on her, is the highlight of the episode, being the bratty, but still sweet child we’ve come to know and love. I really like the cute relationship she shares with Lincoln. Although, it is weird seeing a pizza from a kids restaurant getting so much hype, since as we all know, pizza from those kinds of restaurants taste like cardboard. As for the inconsistency errors, we’ve literally seen times in the past where Lola has been able to read perfectly fine, especially in Ties That Bind where they made an entire joke dedicated to her knowing how to read at the age of six. As much as I want to enjoy this episode, the inconsistency this episode has keeps it from being perfect or spectacular, but nonetheless, if your going to look past inconsistencies, you might actually enjoy this episode a lot.

Not a Loud - Oh boy... this episode... this has to be be one of, if not the most overhyped cartoon episode of all time. Not a special, but just an average 11-minute cartoon episode. Everyone was going nuts over this episode, making this out to be a grand game changer. I tried to resent from that since, from personal experience, I’ve learned that overhyping can sometimes kill a good product. Now that the episode is aired, as expected, the episode was not as good as people made it out to be. People were quick to claim this episode was bad because it was not as good as they hyped it up to be. To be honest, I can understand if it was Nickelodeon doing this, but since it’s from the fans, that’s kind of their fault for building up so much hype to this one specific episode or for not being how they wanted it to go. So instead of judging it based off of my expectations, I’ll be fair and judge it for what it is.

Anyways, enough with that, my official thoughts on the episode: it was... well... let me put like this... the majority of this episode revolves around Lincoln and Clyde determining whether or not Lincoln is some sort of freak accident, based off of what the sisters tell him. This got old really quick for me and not to mention, repetitive. Although the super strength part with Clyde cutting the rope did get a laugh out of me because of how well time dit was. Then there’s the part where Lincoln tries to find his actual parents, where... he acts unexpectedly calm about it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? IDK. This part also felt kind of boring. It didn’t do too much for me. Then there’s the ending... holy schamoly. It is just bizarre. I’m not gonna give away what it is, but it will definitely leave you completely bamboozled. Some people liked this ending since it finally answers whether or not Lincoln is adopted, and others hate this ending because it is too bizarre, outlandish, and not at all realistic. Like how Sounds of Silence is hated for the twist ending, so is this one in a way. Personally, I’d say both reactions are understandable and I kind of fall in the middle. It is bizarre, but I guess in a way... it makes sense... and it’s kind of cool... but at the same time... yeah I might have to do some more analyzing of this episode in the future. Oh, and it kind of bugs me how Clyde doesn’t have much of a purpose, but it’s good to know that at least he cares about Lincoln. Even though I didn’t think this episode would be a game changer... this is definitely not what I expected at all.

For now, I’ll say... majority of the episode is rather mediocre, and the ending is debatable.

Overall thoughts - this bomb was... a mixed bag for me. The Halloween special, Tricked was amazing, but then the bomb sort of started to go down to the mediocre category. No Spoilers was pretty good, Read Aloud was alright, and Not a Loud was sort of... a dud. However, the parts that liked, I really liked. Overall, but the greatest bomb ever, but still entertaining.

As always, salutations.
