Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is good.

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, background music [and a musical number,] a word or words on screen, these recap element, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline/Back story: this storyline and the back story elements are good and well shown.

Comedy level/Action sequences: these two elements are generally speaking really good, it could be when Velma is not dealing to well with this font being used at different points in this title or Shaggy and Scooby full down; this I'm going to say cliff and then sliding down as well on a piece or pieces of this cliff, now on some occasions in this project the comedy level and the action sequences can be seen as both as comedy and action and on a quick side note there are weapons being used.

Artistic visions: they are smooth and easy to settle down with.

This film receives: 7/10, now on reflection this title feels more like a Scooby-Doo title [it depends if you have seen or viewed my recent reviews on this iconic character/franchise lately,] yes I can deal with the fact that times are changing [so we aren't going to get the old-school Scooby-Doo back.] But this title shows that you can modernize this franchise and bring it up-to-date, as long as they don't mess around with it too much or if they are going to change things slightly here and there, just don't make them too annoying.

Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy 2014 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, background music, mental imagery, quick moving imagery [something like this for an example; let's say someone wanted to get ready to go out for an evening, so your audience would see images like this; see a showerhead running, quickly see this individual picking out some clothing, heading into one room closing the door and a second later opening the door again to reveal they are fully dressed and then quickly closing the front door to tell their viewers I am now going out,] okay this example may be a little bit vague and a little bit rough. But something like this happens quite a few times in this title in different ways and in a nutshell I really don't think too much about this; in fact it does get boring quickly and how could I forget the recap of how this case was solved.

Storyline/Origin story/Back story: now generally speaking I don't know what to think about these three storyline elements, the storyline I think is okay [I say I think because at some point my brain switched off from a lack of interest or I really did just get fed up with the fundamental elements quick moving imagery thing.] The origin storyline elements are based around Velma and we get given this back story which is connected to her as well.

Comedy level: in the interest of fairness and balance if my memory is correct I did find some tiny bits funny [it would help if I could remember them,] but there is one comedy element that did frustrate me after a short amount of time, because maybe the first or second time it was referenced it was something you know I could work with, but to consistently bring up this vehicle in mental imagery or anything is boring.

Artistic visions: this project is really well presented and from a visual standpoint it is easy to settle down with, I did like this train sequence [when we first see this train] and when this character made a shadow version of this vehicle with his hands, these are just two very brief examples of the artistic visions.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used.

This film receives: 3/10, I don't know what to say here; other than this project is and was hard work to watch.

Aloha, Scooby-Doo! 2005 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, no subtitles being used, background music, time jumps and place jumps, this recap thing on how the crime was solved and possibly there are many other fundamental elements and generally speaking other bits and pieces to this title, I was trying not to fall asleep whilst watching this title.

Storyline/Back story: the storyline is boring and the back story elements are boring as well.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used [Spears] and fire and not forgetting chasing sequences.

This film receives: 2/10, now a limbo competition, Jared Moon voiced by Adam West, this title from an artistic perspective is colourful and well presented and Daphne uses her surfboard to splash a fire out on Fred's Hang glider, these are just some elements that are good in this title to be fair, but I did find this project to be really hard work nonetheless and on top of that I can't remember too much about it anyway.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 26: Doomsday by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 26: Doomsday by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Character developments: there are many characters in this episode; you just have to spot them.

Action sequences: these have great imagination to them such as when Victor von Doom/Dr. Doom gets to massive rocks, one from the left and one from the right and then Ben Grimm/The Thing gets encased in them [this is just a rough description of this sequence]

This episode receives: 8/10, now taking everything into consideration this mark feels right, unless I have missed something somewhere it would have be nice to know this invention's name that Victor von Doom/Dr. Doom.

Now as this is the final episode of this TV series, it kind of highlights how far they went wrong with the Fantastic Four live-action films [all three live-action films when this review goes out,] yes the Silver Surfer of what I remember saying was he is interesting amongst other things and the less I say about Galactus in the same film the better.

I am only half done, this TV show also highlights how far they got it so, so, so, so wrong with the Inhumans as well in their live-action TV program, but let's try to leave things on a positive note, this TV program has got me to at least put The Sub-Mariner on a list in the back my mind of characters I should spend some more time getting to know better or at some point look and review the TV program of the same name [the 1966 version.]

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 25: The Sentry Sinister by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 25: The Sentry Sinister by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: in a nutshell this episode is excellent, but as you will see I have a lot to say about it.

Storyline: now without giving too much away this episode has many characters in it, in different locations, but there are two things that I should point out and here they are; why didn't this character used this gift or skill sooner, because yes the price is high when it is in use, but in this situation what they will be gaining is worth a gamble considering they don't have much to lose [I can't really say too much more than that really, but it will make sense when or if firstly you watch these episodes in the right order and secondly this will make sense when you come to watch this episode] and the second thing is this; the more I think about it the more I think this or these storyline elements should have been given a second episode to work with, just because there is lots happening and there is quite a few characters they could have worked with or at the very least done something with them to comfortably push it over into a second episode [a Part 2.]

Action sequences/Comedy level: they are all of a very high standard and there is this comedy element when Ben Grimm/The Thing takes someone for a walk and they end up going to many different places.

This episode receives: 9/10, I really wanted to give this episode a 10 out of 10, but I had to take in to consideration, the amount I said about the storyline or storyline elements, like I said earlier why didn't this character come up with this idea sooner or work it so that this character uses this skill or gift at the closing stages of this episode and in the next episode the audience can see the impact of this gift or skill or something to that effect [to try and make this gift or skill feel like a big deal, which it is and on top of that it would have been great character development as well, it would show that this character has tried everything else, that this character is struggling to make up their mind if to take this action or not or maybe have this character walk around or something else by themselves, giving off the body language of "If I do this; we will have to start again ." and it wouldn't have taken too many scenes to do this; just maybe a scene here or there or a sequence just enough to put over to your viewers that this character is seriously thinking about this action.]

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 24: Hopelessly Impossible by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 24: Hopelessly Impossible by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is mixed.

Fundamental elements/Storyline: now I usually would be a little bit more specific, but in this case I will make an exception, this episode is basically an episode with mostly clips of previous episodes, yes there is another storyline happening in this episode at the same time, but let's just say the main focus of this episode is old clips of previous episodes.

This episode receives: 5/10, there are comical elements and action sequences [as it relates to the other storyline and not the clips] which does give this episode some value, but besides everything I have put in this review so far I don't know what else to say really, but maybe just before I finish now taking everything into consideration it would be slightly harsh for me to give this episode a 4 out of 10, because it is one of those things where you can't really criticize an episode like this; because it is just doing what it has been designed or put together to do, but on the other hand for me to give this episode a 6 or more out of 10 would be difficult, let's just say the other storyline to this episode is okay, it has a purpose and it fulfils its purpose, but that is it.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 23: Behold, a Distant Star by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 23: Behold, a Distant Star by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Storyline/Back story: this storyline for this episode is really good, there is lots happening and the back story [without giving too much away] is really well shown and well explained [in a nutshell in these black-and-white scenes or sequences with voice-over elements.]

Action sequences: briefly all of these action sequences are entertaining, just for one example the viewers see Reed Richards/Mr. fantastic turn himself into a big ball while Ben Grimm/The Thing finds something to use as a baseball bat [to hit oncoming ball/Mr. Fantastic with.

This episode receives: 8/10, now this episode is slightly difficult to call, not on the grounds that this episode is mixed, because it isn't but to try and describe this episode the more you watch it, the better momentum it has, I should just point out even before this; this episode moves consistently anyway [generally speaking this episode does enough to get given this mark.]

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 22: Nightmare in Green by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Character developments: now in this episode Ben Grimm/The Thing comes to realize that Alicia Masters loves him just the way he is.

Action sequences: well I don't have to say too much here besides this; Ben Grimm/The Thing vs. Bruce Banner/the Hulk, that is all you need to know really.

This episode receives: 8/10, as I have already said this episode is excellent.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 21: When Calls Galactus by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 4] Episode 21: When Calls Galactus by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is super entertaining.

Storyline/Origin storylines: this storyline for this episode is amazing it just has so much happening in it [it is one of those occasions where I really, really don't want to give too much away.] The origin storylines are interesting and I really do like how there are two origin storylines, but they are shown completely differently for one example a black-and-white one, in a nutshell from somebody's memories through this machine or something to that effect.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now once again I don't want to sound like I am being lazy but on both of these counts there is just so much happening or to see and I think I can get away with saying this because his name is in the title of this episode, Galactus has some tremendous action sequences and other things in this episode and the artistic visions generally speaking are a treat for the eyes.

Character developments: they are all excellent, be it a limited appearance or consistently in this episode, they all bring something to the table.

This episode receives: 10/10, now yes this episode is lots and lots of fun, but there is one blooper, I was sure that the replacement for the Silver Surfer showed up too early, so I had to go back and have a look and I found him in Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 1, DVD 1] Episode 6: The Silver Surfer & the Coming of Galactus: Part 2, but at this point the Silver Surfer is still Galactus's herald, the character I am making reference to is Terrax [I think any other time this character shows up at this point of this TV program is okay, I would feel more comfortable just pointing this out I could be wrong,] but just not in episodes 6, let's just say there is an element to this episode [this episode right here and right now] which makes my point for me, I just can't talk about it, because that would be too much of the storyline and yes I still think the storyline elements of any description are amazing, but I think the word blooper is the correct way to sum this up, moving in a good way this episode is just too strong for me to give it anything less than the mark, I have given it.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 20: Prey of the Black Panther by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Fundamental elements: there are cultural elements, voice over elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Storyline/Origin storyline: this storyline and the origin storyline are good [I can't say too much more than that really, just based on the title of this episode it tells you which character I am making reference to.]

Action sequences: the character in this episode at some point takes on the Fantastic Four individually with a plan in place for each member and there are other action sequences as well.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode does have many excellent elements to it.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 19: To Battle the Living Planet by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 19: To Battle the Living Planet by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is highly entertaining.

Storyline: this storyline has much to offer its viewers, we have some background information [being shown as time jumps and place jumps with voice-over elements] and briefly this deal was a very good twist to things [how can I put this; this is one of those things that I needed to bring up in this review, but having said that I can't say too much more than what I have already said, simply because I don't want to give too much away.]

Character developments: there are a good selection of characters being shown in this episode [I am not being lazy,] but I can't really drop too many names here because I don't want to give too much away, but what I can say is this; I really do like how in this episode to deal with this ongoing situation at some point these characters take different routes to try and combat this situation, so in a nutshell if one option fails they have a backup plan that kind of thing [this element or these elements gives this episode a really good sense of urgency.

Science-fiction elements/Action sequences/

Artistic visions: these elements are a lot of fun, be it this scenes or sequences taking place in outer space or Galactus's action sequence with somebody's assistance [technically this individual's weapon assists Galactus, I was thinking I would just put this in before someone pointed it out in the comments section] or the artistic visions of this character that is as big as a planet [these are just some of the elements in this episode.]

This episode receives: 10/10, from beginning to end this episode has many high quality elements to it.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 18: Worlds Within Worlds by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 18: Worlds Within Worlds by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent.

Storyline/Action sequences: this storyline for this episode is good and the action sequences involving this character that has two names or yes if you want to be really technical about things this individual has three names in this storyline [but it is one of those occasions where I think you would appreciate me not telling you too much about this point, but I can tell you this; they do reveal who it is at some point, but having said all of this; these action sequences are fun as well.

Artistic visions/Science-fiction elements: now these two elements together play a big role in this episode, be it when some members of the Fantastic Four have to get shrunk down in this vehicle or be in this different dimension or the psychological elements or something else, all of these elements have great imagination to them.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode has many things to offer their viewers to see and to experience.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 17: Inhumans Saga: Part 3: Beware the Hidden Land by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 17: Inhumans Saga: Part 3: Beware the Hidden Land by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is highly entertaining.

Origin storyline/Storyline: the audience gets an origin storyline of how this society came to be and those kinds of things [with voice-over elements] and this storyline for this episode is lots of fun as well.

Action sequences: there are a lot of action sequences which are of a high quality, lively and hard-hitting.

This episode receives: 10/10, I was trying not to say this again but these versions of the Inhumans are much, much, much better than the ones from the live-action TV program from 2017, in fact if you look at these versions in this animated TV program and then the ones from 2017 they are absolutely billions upon billions of miles away from one another, even though these two groups characters [without giving too much away,] get the wrong end of the stick at some points throughout these three episodes they have a really good chemistry against each other or on the same page.

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 16: Inhumans Saga: Part 2: The Inhumans Among Us by AverageMansReviews

Fantastic Four 1994 -- 1996 [Season 2, DVD 3] Episode 16: Inhumans Saga: Part 2: The Inhumans Among Us by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another excellent episode.

Character developments: the Inhumans put in a very good showing, I am not sure if after these three episodes we will get to see them again be it one or two or all of them, but what is in front of me at this moment I am just wondering if given more episodes, these characters [these versions of them] could have been or should have been used more, I am not criticizing this but nonetheless it is a good point to make. Because these versions just have a feeling and look about them that they are easy to settle down with unlike the live-action versions of them 2017, the less I say about that the better.

Oh never mind I have just changed my mind all you need to know about this live-action TV program is this from my perspective; I think I watched the first episode for about 20 minutes roughly and that was it, yes I don't know that much about these characters but I do know this; they didn't do a heavy percentage of these characters justice, the only character they did justice was Lockjaw and there are many other things I just didn't like about it [maybe if I can find it in a box set one day I will try and watch it and review it.]

Action sequences: now back to this episode, the action sequences are really entertaining, as these characters have gifts or skills, the viewers will get to see some of them in this episode including without giving too much away Ben Grimm/The Thing taking one powerful punch.

This episode receives: 8/10, now having seen this episode I am further disappointed with the live-action TV program which I have just discussed in this review, it is one of those kinds of things where you wonder how did they get these characters and other things so wrong.
