I’ll agree on the music and animation style but that’s about it.
TLR had good voice actors; they’ve done good performances in other works before. It may not seem like that as they didn’t have much to work with. The trilogy had good voice acting as well, though there were some… .quirks here and there. Onua’s voice always bothered me.
As for story… Yes, in some cases, but I think people’s nostalgia oversells them. Looking back, all the movies are just different levels of “okay” IMO.
(For those curious, I rank them as LoMN, WoS, TLR, and MoL.)
Strakk’s voice threw me off the most. In the comics, he always sounded like that snarky, sarcastic, cold-cut humour guy. But in the show he’s russian for some reason.
Wait a minute… the main antagonists are all black, the one controlling them is white, and the first antagonist introduced has a russian voice.
TLR racist propaganda confirmed. 10/10
It’s sarcasm, JMP. Controversial topics like racism are always touchy and difficult to bring up, but there’s no harm in simple humour, and is not intended to be taken at all seriously.
TLR was actually about a white midget claiming leadership over an African tribe and using it to conquer Europe, only to be thwarted by a magical shaman.
I’m just going to put this out there, but the sword fights in TLR all looked the same. It was always someone flailing their sword the exact same way as someone else flailing their sword while the other combatant is using their shield to block. Just saying…
I’m annoyed by the fact that the sets never had proper ways to store the ammunition for their various launchers. The movies fixed that for the most part.
