>>90183455I figured out the twist to Jack and the Warrior Woman less than a minute after she introduced. The color scheme made it obvious, and the entire episode felt like a waste of time because of it. Thank God that Jack and the Swamp Monster didn't do the same thing.
Jack Learns to Jump Good is one of those episodes that feels like a "Cartoon Network episode" if you know what I mean. Yeah, I know how stupid that sounds, but some of the characters just feel out of place like they belong in other Cartoon Network shows than Samurai Jack.
>The dogs in The Samurai Called Jack/The First Fight>The scientists in Jack in Space>The gangsters in Jack and the Gangsters>The caveman and apes in Jack Learns to Jump Good>The scientist in Jack and the Ultra-robots>The shoe salesman in Jack's Sandals>The creature in Jack and the Creature>>90183451The kids honestly bogged the episode down. Aku makes everything better, but I think that Jack is what you need to have to make an episode good. Like I said before, in The Princess and the Bounty Hunters, I was debating on where to place it, but the brief part where Jack actually appears raises the episode so much higher than it would have been without him.
>>90183334I really like that instead of plot progression, the point of the series is basically to represent all sorts of fighting styles and locales from different movies. You have the masterpiece that is Jack and the Three Blind Archers where he relies on only his ears, you have gladiator battles in Jack and the Smackback, you have western battles on a train with The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful, you have horde fights in Jack and the Spartans, you have Jack and the Scotsman handcuffed together and fighting, you have Jack fighting robot bees in space with a jetpack, you have Jack using stealth to infiltrate a high tech pyramid labyrinth with some guy straight out of Lupin III, you have fighting to/against the music in Jack and the Rave, etc.[cont]
