The Mighty B! Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
mitsubishizero It's not bad as there's creativity but I wasn't a big fan of the gross out humor. The main character, Bessie has a lisp which causes her to spit a lot. The characters are ok. The main character's somewhat tolerable. Bessie is cute but also obnoxious and hyperactive which can be grating. Her rivals are so snobby and unlikable yet they do show their nice side every now and then. The show is set in San Francisco which's interesting as it fits in for some reason. There's not much to say about the show other than while creative the characters are for the most part cookie cutter and the animation's good but that's about it. I do like the wordplay in the titles though.
prunes_wrinkly_sweetness I have been looking through the comments and I am really confused why people seem to passionately hate this show. And all the reasons why people seem to hate it are not really explained well. Especially who ever TommypezMaster is. That was not even English. Only 3 comments had any inkling of reasons that were backed up. And I understand not liking a show and saying it's not for me but to go as far as saying I almost puked from watching is a bit irrational.And for anyone who says this is one of the dumbest shows...I'm confused I thought that was the point of cartoons, to be dumb. What was 2 Stupid Dogs, Space Ghost, Ren and Stimpy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sponge Bob, Cow and Chicken? Did anyone learn anything from any of those shows? No but they all have a fan following. So for being stupid is not really saying much since stupid/toilet humor is generally excepted in these other venues.I wonder what it is then these people are looking for in cartoons? I'm partial to many types of cartoons, ranging from Beast Wars, the ones I mentioned above, anime, King of the Hill, and older cartoons like boomerang stuff.I regard cartoons in 3 categories There are cartoons that have really good writing, there are cartoons that have really good and controlled art, then there are cartoons that can do both. Of course then there are those that have none at all. Like Perfect Hair Forever, the writing and cartooning is atrocious but it will still make me laugh 3 in the morning...so there is that too.Anyways this show has something a lot of cartoons don't have a character driven cartoon. It doesn't need plot when she's there. I tend to like characters that are not by any means cool yet they believe they are and never seem to stop loving themselves. Strangers with Candy is like that and so is Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. Those are character's I can respect, so is Sponge Bob for that matter. It is also a show where the art, especially being flash is done by someone who knows what they are doing unlike Fairly Odd Parents which is good writing but awful cartooning.Also someone mentioned something about it missing fluid animation. This person obviously knows nothing about cartoons or media. When it seems they are skipping frames it is on purpose it is to embellish the character's reaction to an event. Old cartoons from the golden age did this, now maybe it seemed better because they did have access to money. Cartoons today are stuck in limited Animation so it's noticed more. Only Avatar is somewhere in between limited and full. Limited animation takes better advantage of this trick in my opinion, look up Beany and Cecile cartoons and you can see it used masterfully.Now what this cartoon maybe lacking, people seemed turned off by stereotypes and I'm not really partial to them either but they have their place. I mean Dexter's Lab was a extremely nerdy boy and extremely girly girl. The stereotypes were pretty strong. One episode they switch interests and Dexter likes the pony and she likes the tough guy stuff, this wouldn't be funny without stereotypes. Messing with stereotypes I think is much funnier. Another show full of stereotypes is Jimmy Neutron with a lot of the same ones from Dexter except he has 2 dumb friends where Mighty B has one. Not saying I support it I'm just trying to get people to think about what they are saying critically.So my suggestion is for people who don't like this show instead of stating they don't like whatever plot that's going on. They state what the expect from cartoons personally and state why this cartoon isn't adding up to that standard, but also take a step back and think about what a cartoon is in the first place. If you are someone partial to Totally Spies or My Life as a Teenage Robot then I have real doubts you'll like this show.
gonelunch1 Remember the last time you were stuck on an airplane and the annoying brat in the next row kept wiggling, squirming, talking and kicking the seat for the whole flight? Bessie is that kid. She is a hyper little geekwad with a painfully abrasive voice, and is so irritating that this show just isn't fun to watch. What's more, the show lacks the multidimensional humor that would make it amusing for adults as well as children. Instead, there are potty jokes; racial, class, religious and regional stereotypes; and the central joke of Bessie's completely nonexistent social skills. It's hard to connect to Bessie or feel anything about her except the desire for her to shut up! The animation is OK in a '90's Ren and Stimpy-ish way but like the rest of the show, it seems they made it intentionally frenetic just to cover up the lack of anything genuinely interesting. Nick has canned better toons without giving them time to develop. I hope they consign this stinker to the bottom of the bin and use the resources for something decent.
lloydirving6492 I think this show isn't funny nor entertaining. Every time my little sister turns on nick to this show, I get a headache. They try to make it funny, but it is not even close to any of the past cartoons nick has shown. I can't get through an episode without leaving the room and turning on my Gameboy or my Ipod. This show is making my sister stupid i think O_o Usually cartoons have smart humor... this was just frustrating and out of reach stupid. I think I will watch SNL instead. anyways... 3/10 i would give it 1 but i think that will be a compliment. Good Luck Nick, try and get better shows for kids, teens, and adults.
