Yes Ive had this account for a while years ago while I was experimenting with Flash, but try as I might I sucked and my version was a trial so I had no choice but to give up! Then I saw an art community I figgered I may as well give it another try!

Generator Rex: First Impressions

Posted by TheBurningDonut - April 24th, 2010


One thing that has been really annoying thing Cartoon Network has been doing Advertising the living CRAP out of the new shows they have.

And when there's only one or two show that mean a lot of repeat commercials and if you get annoyed by repetition... it's horrible.

ANY way the only really good looking show was this one called Generator Rex!
I just saw the first episode tonight and my fist impressions are not disappointing, it did a good job of setting things up (It WAS the first episode after all) and the animation was descent as American cartoons go.

The "plot" is pretty good even though it's a simple "Here's the bad guys and here's the hero that's made from the same thing and that's why he fights them" type story.

One thing I did like is the personality of the main character is pretty cool so many times these days American cartoons are either trying to make anti heroes, or pure hearted heroes there's rarely anything that focuses on an anti hero who wants to do good but has to deal with his inner self...

And uh stuff...

I liked that they didn't make the main Character a ten year old kid because I'm not a fan of cartoons about kids, and appreciate characters with deeper voices and an animated while still "mature" look.

It was funny it's a bit more Vulgar than you would expect I mean they did say things Like "Damn" and "Crap"

Things I didn't like is the story was told way to fast (I won't hold it against the writers I mean it is a cartoon after all), I also didn't like the way the artist drew weapons one thing that always bugs in cartoons and comics is when weapons, cars, and other mechanical devises are drawn wrong... like when a gun is sliced and it's like a solid peace, and Gen-Rex had TONS of that!

The rest of the "plot" was extremely predictable.

The "Oh look the hero has no memory and wonders about his past" type story is as common as "They killed my parents so now I want revenge" type story.

The organization Rex works for reminds me of a mix of Men in Black, and a little of...
Well every Monster hunting origination I've seen in every "We hunt monsters" type cartoon/ Movie so I am REALLY unimpressed with its story or anything having to do with it.

Ultimately It's a very generic cartoon that has an above average personality and almost shows some potential, I'm going to keep an eye on it to see of anything better comes out of the series, but so far I wouldn't recommend it.
