Talk:Kong: King of the Apes/@comment-831485-20160421013712

Watched several episodes and it isn't a bad show, being leagues above the 1999 Canadian series, but it's still above-average Saturday morning adventure fair at best and like a lot of CGI cartoons, they're limited in their technical abilities and character budget, so Kong battles a lot of the same monsters in mass, and background extras are reused to a point of cloning within single shots. The two best characters is Kong himself, who is a young monster superhero here unlike the more fearsome Kongs of the past, but is too likable not to love, complete with giving the huge ape a giant jet-pack to battle robot Pteranodons, which is both wrong and yet somehow so right all at the same time. And the gynoid Botila who's much more human looking than her concept art, and starts off as a sidekick to the lead villain but comes into her own as an equally major menace, and one who gets her own agenda (destroy humanity to save the Earth), and some added character humor (her multiple attempts at evil laughter and failing at it). And I'm not just saying this because I have a thing for sexy robot gals, which Botila most certainly is...Though it helps! The series ends on an interesting cliffhanger promising more prehistoric monsters beyond mere robot imitators, but seeing how poorly this series is being received, I doubt we'll get a second season. Oh wells. The nearly feature length pilot episode is a bit of a choir to sit through, especially that prologue sequence when the main villain and human hero (both twin brothers) are children, but improves a lot by later episodes.
