Better Than Star Wars: Visions
14 March 2022
I actually don't know why I'm even making this comparison, but fk it, I'm gonna do it anyway.

Compared to SW: Visions, this one was more fun to watch and it actually knew when to end it and not bore you to death.

So, given that Star Wars has a huge vast universe and the writers can basically come up with anything and be as creative as they can be, Star Wars: Visions just focused on "where mah lightsaber" and Jedi vs Sith stuff.

I know I'm kinda shooting myself in the foot by saying that, because this show's episodes were all about Compound V too, so it's kinda the same as Lightsabers, but the difference is that the whole world of The Boys revolves around this serum and these superheroes, while Star Wars is more than just Lightsabers as we saw with The Mandalorian. (Well, they kinda threw the whole Jedi and Lightsaber thing into Mandalorian too, but you get what I'm saying).

Star Wars has literally infinite amount of galaxies and planets to explore and the best they could come up with for 9 episodes was just "The quest to find a Lightsaber". And the anime style didn't work for Star Wars at all.

At least this one explores different aspects of this superhero-infested universe.

However, just like Star Wars: Visions, this one has lots of bad or pointless episodes too, but at least they're somewhat fun to watch and the 10-minute format makes them a little less unbearable.

And to be fair, just like I liked only two episodes from SW: Vision, I only liked two or three episodes from this show too, but like I said, these are at least shorter and more fun to watch. But if I'm being real fair, this show had the worst episode out of all of both shows' episodes, and you know which one I'm talking about. Not even Rick and Morty and their Sperm episode writers would dare writing something so stupid and pointless as that episode.

The show is ultimately a forgettable one, but it's at least kinda nice to get back to this universe since the last season came out a long time ago. I just wish Amazon put some effort into it and hired better writers like they did with Invincible and not just make a cheap and quick show with random shorts.

Anyway, this is my rating and quick review of the episodes:

  • Episode 1, "Laser Baby's Day Out": 6/10 - Fun little first episode cartoon from the great Vaught company


  • Episode 2, "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents": 7/10 - I want to see that in the live-action show


  • Episode 3, "I'm Your Pusher": 8/10 - Billy Butcher rocks!


  • Episode 4, "Boyd in 3D": 6/10 - Fun, decent episode, ruined by the ending.


  • Episode 5, "BFFs" (Should've been named "skip this episode"): 1/10 - Not funny, didn't laugh.


  • Episode 6, "Nubian vs Nubian": 6/10 - What was the point exactly?


  • Episode 7, "John and Sun-Hee": 5/10 - Ok and?


  • Episode 8, "One Plus One Equals Two": 8/10 - Yup, Homielander is a psycho alright.
