Camp Camp: Reigny Day (2016)
Gross and Antisemitic
I was watching this episode with my Jewish friend, and this episode was really disgusting and distasteful. The Holocaust isn't a joke, and making a joke out of it is disrespectful to everyone that died. Plus the timing was especially bad since there's currently a rise of antisemitism in Western countries, with actual Nazis becoming more and more visible. It isn't time to distance the horrors of the Holocaust from reality.
We had to stop watching since it was clear that nothing was gonna happen but Holocaust jokes, which got increasingly detailed and specific. About 2/3s of the way through we stopped because my friend couldn't take it, and honestly, neither could I. I was interested in the David subplot, and Neil being missing, but I couldn't endure Dolph's subplot to see the conclusion. I don't even want to finish the episode alone. It's just too... cringy.
Also I noticed Dolph in the previous episodes and had a bad feeling about him, but making an episode focused on him was REALLY unnecessary. Actually making him at all was a mistake. There's nothing he adds to the show except for offensive humor that belittles the struggles of minorities. I sincerely hope he dies off so I never see him again. Or at least have him go home. Please..... do us all a favor and get rid of him forever.
Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (2012)
Great show, watch it
This show is so great! The character design is amazing, the characters are engaging, the plot is interesting, and the animation is top-of-the-line. The crew didn't cut any corners.
The first episode subverts expectations by letting Randy's best friend Howard in on his secret identity as the ninja, even though he was told by the Nomicon (a sentient book that both gave him his abilities and teaches him how to use them) not to tell anyone. After that, it's a show about two pals and how one of them being a superhero affects their relationship.
Be warned that the main duo is a pretty realistically-written pair of 14 year old boys, which can be hard to watch at times, but adds to the charm once you can watch through it.
The villains have always been my favorite characters (although to be fair, I tend to prefer evil characters anyways), especially Hannibal McFist and Viceroy. McFist is the owner of McFist Industries, one of, if not the, biggest business in town. Viceroy is his right-hand mad scientist, who builds most of the robots that try to destroy the ninja.
