User blog:Octopushy/Review: We Wish You A Merry Walrus (Act 1)

Inspired by Agent Unknown's Everything Wrong With We Wish You A Merry Walrus.

This is how this is going to work. I'm going to start off with 5 strikes, everything I find good, + 1 strike, and vice versa. I'm not even going to bother about the animation, mainly because I don't care.

So the special starts off with Rockhopper almost immediately breaking the fourth wall, he says that we missed a very special, um, thing. For some unexplained reason, there is wi-fi out at sea.

After, that, we have our first musical number of the special, it's decent enough, + 1 strike What does confuse me is why penguins are so excited about Merry Walrus even though it was never mentioned until, this month, I'll let it slide.

And of course, this wouldn't be complete without Herbert, who we haven't seen for months. Yay? Of course he hates Merry Walrus, and of course he wants it to end. Blah blah blah, generic bad guy stuff.

We now visit the supposedly main protagonist, Roofhowse! I'm not joking, that's his name. I'm just gonna call him 'Generic Underdog' for now. As with all generic underdogs, his igloo looks awful.

And then, two more boring generic characters come in. I honestly don't care about them, let's call em Pinky and the Brain. Some more filler involving sunglasses and a burning igloo then even more boring generic characters enter, I'm calling them Lisa Simpson and Rule 63 Rookie.

More pointless information about some random characters I don't give two hoots about.
 * The Brain is apparently Pinky's Lawyer
 * Lisa Simpson is the head of the Igloo Owners Association

Also, before this scene ends, Rule 63 Rookie tells Generic Underdog about a prophecy that a stranger will save the Merry Walrus from certain doom.

- 1 strike. Seriously Disney, I don't care about these characters.

Some play is happening, but it serves no purpose to the plot, I'm just ignoring it.

Generic Underdog is sad that he doesn't seem fit for the Igloo life when a blue crystal puffle comes out of nowhere. Apparently Merry Walrus is in danger and these annoying generic characters need to save him, oh boy.

Some more pointless stuff and we finally see a character we actually care about again!

The gangs all here! We got: And Rockhopper, the one I actually care about.
 * Generic Underdog, the main character
 * Pinky, the idiotic strong guy
 * The Brain, the annoying know-it-all
 * Rule 63 Rookie, the weird and crazy one.
 * Lisa Simpson, the other one.

Even more pointless filler involving Rockhopper almost singing and pirate hats, and we finally reach our destination!

Too bad, all this time, Herbert was disguised as Merry Walrus and he traps all our 'heroes' in a giant net which could of easily been avoided! (But don't tell Generic Underdog and co that, they're not very bright!)

Wait a minute, how come Rockhopper knows who Herbert is?
