"Cuphead" Netflix Adaptation in the works

[Celebrate Nite]

We finally got our first look at Zoe Moss voicing Baroness Von Bon Bon

lol at the "rules" skit from Aladdin being used here, although Robin Williams definitely did it better.

You guys have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment. Hilda Berg is still best girl. I pray she is as much of a shitlord in the show as she is in the game.

I think the best Cuphead episodes have been:

Carn-Evil
Ghosts Ain't Real
Root Packed
Dirt Nap

The show is at its most fun when it's doing chase scenes or playing with characters from the games (Root Packed is a great take on those bosses' characters).

 

[Life is Hell...]

I like it. She acts much like how I expect a character who chops off her own head would act.

I'm kinda on the fence about her voice, it just doesn't feel right with that character design.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for evil bitches with bostonian accents but yeah, I pictured her as having an Olive Oyl or Snow White-esque voice based on that Cookieeland cartoon she was clearly based on. I admit though that they're laying her wackiness on a bit too thick and I find it a bit weird that they're setting her up as some sort of cursed and ancient evil demon rather that just some eccentric candyland-esque princess when the game shows that all the bosses are actually good people who only did evil shit because the Devil stole their souls.

But who knows, maybe they'll set it up so the devil gave her the curse or just pass off the ancient line as a family curse or something that the boys have to save her from.

I wonder if Cuphead and Mugman will get redemption arc in Season 3, then grow up a bit as kids and act little more rational than them in last 2 seasons(like how they act in official comics)
Cuphead and Mugman have done so many stupid and harmful shits to other people and it's not educational to leave them stupid like that for the entire show I think

Having watched both seasons and having never played the game myself, I can't say if the show is a faithful adaptation of the game.

What I can say is that I do get a kick out of the show. It kind of reminds me of the chaotic and irreverent shows I watched back in the 90s. Maybe it isn't up to the extremes of Ren & Stimpy or Rocko's Modern Life, but there is some of that flavor there.

Even though I've never played the game, I have seen footage and the show does not quite replicate the pitch perfect 1930s style animation of the game. I guess that's understandable given the expense it would take to do that. What the show does instead is create the feel of a 1930s cartoon that got rebooted in the 1990s, and it kind of works.

Its enjoyable and I kind of appreciate that it doesn't try to teach kids anything. Its like "Hey, here's a little bit of insanity for 10 minutes" and sometimes, that's okay.

That's exactly the feeling I got from the show at least the ones I've seen so far. It reminds me of Animaniacs a bit. It's actually pretty good. At first i was kind of put off by the art style, but it's grown on me. Still wish it could have been done in that classic 1930's style though. It's not the same story as the game so far anyway but it does use characters from it and uses them pretty well.

Dayum, didn't realize it already got 2 more seasons.

Based on the first season, it was... fine? The animation is pretty good but I never thought it managed to capture the rubberhose feel that the games had. Voice acting is good but not exceptional. Although, I do really like how they did The Devil. Dude sounds like he's having the time of his life with the role.

The biggest problem is that the writing just isn't all that interesting. It's not aggressively bad, just lackluster. I'll still probably watch season 2 though now that I know it's out.
