The fact that you’ve discovered ‘The Masked Singer’ gives me boundless joy, but also the urge to gush to you about how genuinely good the series is- (Recommend season 1 rabbit is honestly my favourite)
Note: I love many things but I sure am hypercritical and mocking of them. As you can kinda tell how I regard Pocket Camp.
I have Known about it and loved it ever since S1E1, I just literally never really bothered to check if anyone on tumblr was into it? I assume twitter would be, but…the Rabbit was one of my favorites too, singing-wise and costume-quality-wise, but given the straightjacket and twitchy acting theme, I only assumed it would give a lot of people “yikes ableism much” vibes so I never looked it up on here. That plus Robin Thicke’s vaguely fuckboy vibes were strong enough that Ken Jeong kept mockin him for it, and genuinely without Ken and guest judges (YOOO JEFF WINGER AND MR. CHANG) there I’d probably skip the judging.
If we talk about things I liked, my personal favorite was Peacock, though I didn’t always like his song choices. He just hit the first performance so hard it immediately sold the concept of the show to me. (I can’t find the full performance on Youtube but there’s some stuff…)
I did also love Monster and Rabbit equally singing and costume-wise, and then Lion next… Poodle’s costume wasn’t my favorite and I feel like it hurt her chances, but I did love her singing, same with Bee. This time around, I hope some of the bodies of the costumes are as satisfying? I love Ice Cream, Leopard, and Rose’s elaborate costumes especially and am looking forward to more that resembles first season’s range of ridiculous over-the-top styles.
…Idk, mainly I wish I could make a compilation of how over-the-top some of the hint ~special effects~ and background dancers were? I hate cringe humor but I crylaughed at some of the background performances. The Pineapple’s background dancers give me so much life. The guy pushing the swing for Poodle. The special effects for the Raven’s life story that made it so hard to watch when it was so sincere and serious. There’s like. So many levels to see here in or out of context tbh.
...It's also lowkey hilarious seeing Reddit figure out who everyone is with basically the first set of clues.
