SO
Turns out trying to move back to other Disney shows after watching Mech x4 is like trying to win tug of war against a mountain... It’s IMPOSSIBLE
Why, You might ask?
Well as I said above I am trying to “move back” instead of “move on” because let’s face it, no Disney show will top Mech x4 ever. But I also think it’s because the other Disney shows aren’t trying. LET ME EXPLAIN
So Mech x4 is obviously different from other Disney shows, mainly because it caters to an older audience and carries some general darker themes. (ex. Grey’s and Harris’s death) However in addition to that, it also does something most Disney shows don’t necessarily do. “Carry the original plot line.” But what does that mean? Let’s look back at some other Disney shows, for example Liv and Maddie, Jessie, Bunk’d, Austin and Ally, and Bizaardvark. (there are more but let’s stick with these) It may not seem like it, but all of these shows have one thing in common even though they are all drastically different. “They don’t stay on the main path plot line.” If you look back at these shows, there is no main plot line that they follow. Every episode is different, with different problems that they all end up solving by the end of the episode. Which is good and all.. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS A BAD THING! But without a main theme to follow, where is the interesting content going to come from? A failed example of this would be Lab Rats: Elite Force. Lab Rats: Elite Force was hyped to the max but ended up getting cancelled after one season on a cliffhanger. Why? Because only 4-5 episodes out of 17 actually had to do with the main plot/problem. The rest were just filler episodes. Which is what the first example list was made up of. All of the shows had episodes that were basically filler episodes until the mid season finale or the season finale where there would be a 2 or 3 parter with suspense. That’s alright, but what happens when that starts to get boring? NOTHING APPARENTLY! ALL THOSE SHOWS GOT EXTRA SEASONS OF NOTHING! JUST BORING EPISODES THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH A GOOD PLOT LINE OR HAD ACTION OR SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*cough* calm down... while I understand that Disney mainly makes content for a younger audience, I’m going to remain with the notion that if they tried to make more shows like Mech x4 that catered balance between heavier themes and humor then I think Disney would get an even bigger following.
Anyway! Unlike those shows, Mech x4 stayed on the plot line of success and kept their episodes relating to it while still being able to keep the humor that a Disney show needs as well as added a few filler episodes as well, but not a lot. This is why I think the show is so good. Besides the amazing cast, jaw dropping CGI, fantastic plot line, real suspense and drama while also keeping it PG13 as well as humorous and funny.
Mech x4 is really the best Disney show I’ve ever seen and it got completely slept on.
It’s shameful.
So what’s the lesson of this text post? I’m not sure either! This was more of an angry rant// why’d those shows get so many seasons when they’re literal trash!?// why are @jadyn-themechhead and I the only ones that have been active in this fandom for the past 2 weeks?! What happened to never leaving the fandom guys?! Come on!// a salty post cuz I really hate how much potential is being slept on with this show...
