 During the HBO rebranding event a story broke something that I guess was in the making for four or five years I didn't catch wind of it until today, and it kind of it kind of disturbed me Had this news been reported years ago and under different circumstances. I would be over the moon excited But in this instance, I'm just disappointed. Let's talk about the gremlins It was announced today that there's a new gremlins animated TV series. I have the article in front of me So I'm just gonna read off of it. It's called gremlins secrets of the Mogwai It's an upcoming American computer animated fantasy comedy. That's a that's a mouthful It's a television series which is scheduled for release on max, which is what HBO max is now becoming The series consists of 10 episodes and is intended to be a prequel Gross to the 1984 film gremlins and the 1990 sequel the new batch I'm a big fan of both of those films can't get enough of them. I was really hoping for a trilogy finisher I've been waiting for 30 years almost it didn't happen. Instead. We're getting a kid Z Childish and that's redundant kids in childish animated show about gizmo and friends set in 1920s Shanghai East China secrets of the Mogwai tells the story of how ten-year-old Sam Wing met gizmo a young Mogwai How cute here's the bottom line. I watched this trailer It did absolutely nothing for me except make me scratch my head and think this is where we're at This is how far we have fallen What in the hell am I looking at it retains? Nothing about the gremlins charm from the movies. It's not gritty It doesn't look to have any horror comedy aspects to it certainly no dark comedy It's straight up a kids show and that voice of gizmo is a nightmare That's the only scary thing going on in this trailer, which I'll show clips of and why This looks nothing like gremlins Not even the gremlins look like gremlins It just doesn't work at all and I'm sorry to anyone involved I'm sure this was an amazing opportunity to get but it's not it's not one for me I'm just looking I'm grazing over the rest of this article and the synopsis is telling me Sam and gizmo are gonna be taken on a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside encountering and sometimes battling Colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore on their quest to return gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure They're pursued by a power hungry industrialist and is growing army of evil gremlins What the hell is happening? I have an excitement level of zero out of ten for this. I don't really understand what the point is anymore I just want a new live-action gremlins with care with proper animatronics make it make it good Make it good not this Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Are you excited for anything at this point? I don't even know when the last time as we saw gizmo and friends I think he was a character you could play as in that brawl game That was a camera was called but LeBron James was in it and Wonder Woman It was a battle Royale Smash Brothers ripoff I think it's already dead But he was in that along with the iron giant because they're just they're just properties now for people to consume Let me know your thoughts like this video if you had a good time Please subscribe for more movie reviews and content each and every week would love to have you stick around take care
