Love Death + Robots

[cranefly]

5. Kill Team Kill. Seemed very Bakshi with lots of ultra-vi. Great voice cast. And robots. And death. And for CF, some Toxic Masculinity.

Yeah, maybe I'm mixing up terms and this is just a macho testosterone-driven wet-dream, but it sure feels toxic to me.  I will admit, it's got great action, and it's a brilliant gorefest, and...

What follows that final "and" is what I would have liked, but it wasn't there.

The same goes for Ep 8, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Ep6: Swarm. Visually the most arresting piece of animation.  A lot of work went into this.  I wasn't entirely satisfied with the denouement, but I almost never am.

Ep7: Mason's Rats.  Farmer Mason has a rat problem.  Technological warfare ensues.  Lots of gore.  Yeah, so much gore this year.  Animation lends itself to gore so well.

Ep8: In Vaulted Halls Entombed.  A military operation in what could be Afghanistan to kill insurgents and rescue a hostage.  Well-done creatures, monsters, and gore (yeah, more gore).  And alien architectures.  But I didn't quite grok what was encountered and the why of everything.  Though it did have a strong Cthulhu vibe.

Ep9: Jibaro.  Have not seen.  Saving for tonight, or whenever.
