Fine, going in. I seriously don't get people. They complain when things are lazily written and pointlessly mean-spirited yet love when the show does those things even harder. By that extent, Miracle on Evergreen Terrace must be a classic, On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister is a heartwarming tale in comparison. This honestly feels like that thing monsterlandbuddies wrote up brought to life by an even worse writer.
#1 Really didn't go anywhere. Spose it's hard to have anywhere near a decent story when most of it is just gobbling noises. So of course it's mostly just random acts of gore, then an egg hatches and that's about it.
#2 All good things start with an exposition dump. I thought Marge's voice was okay in Marge the Lumberjill but it's gone back to strained. It's a whole lot of dead air wrapped up in a marriage crisis. Oh a firewall being a literal wall of fire. That's new. Technology bad. It's boring as hell but probably the best segment.
#3 The rest was just 1/5 material but this, this one is the one that bumps it down. It wasn't even a "kids as adults" thing or even a reason why it had to be kids, someone just has a sick obssession with killing children. And while Marcia Wallace got a sendoff in a little dance fantasy and Nelson and Ned stating how much they missed her. Russi's sendoff is Martin being ripped open and all of her characters being graphically murdered. That's actually offensive. That's supposed to be a loving sendoff? If I drew something even half as bad with Lisa and @'ed Yeardley Smith, I'd be blocked. Hell with how thin-skinned she is towards Lisa I'm not sure charges wouldn't be pressed. That's a sickening slap in the face. And then it has the gall to be one of those fake bullshit happy endings because the monster "just wanted to be a side dish (even though it could have been in the first place)" and Bart and Lisa see nothing wrong with eating something made up of the rest of humanity and Lisa narrates like it's an uwu happy ending. Fuck off. God she needs to die next thoh. What a fucking load.
Also the cast use was shit. There were barely any jokes and nearly everyone outside of the main family and Chief Wiggum was just fodder for lazy shock-deaths. It's great watching a big cast full of varied characters and untapped potential be completely wasted like this.
This wasn't just bad or even as bad as I thought, this is easily the worst, most pointless and mean sprited pieces of shit ever put on the show. The show has never gotten so vile to the point it's actually disgusting but how Russi's entire lot were treated as a "sendoff" to her cinches it (and watch, they won't get shit for another year or three). Dan Vebber is a hack, when this isn't being boring it's being disgusting and not in a THOH-y way but just plain shitty.
1/5, if only because it can't be rated lower. Also, I want my rating for THOH XXX to be amended to a 5/5 simply for not being this thing.
