User blog:Bigez620/"Heroes vs. Villains" Review

Welcome to Bigez's Reviews, where I'll be reviewing every episode of All-Stars each week. Welp, after 15 months of waiting, the premiere of Heroes vs. Villains is finally here. I, like most of you, was very hyped for this season. So, let's see how the premiere went.

For one, it starts pretty promising. Chris is shown in jail after being arrested in the finale of last season. This scene isn't as funny or dramatic as it should be, and some of the lines come off a little awkwardly, but it's a good way to return to the series.

But the one thing I was looking the most forward to was the theme song. Finally, I get to hear that catchy opening theme once again.

...

Okay, catchy opening 20 seconds. I'm not sure why they insultingly sidelined the theme song, but it's a little confusing. I guess it isn't terrible, though the song sounded a bit off (guessing it's a new recording). The visuals are still nice, it just doesn't give us a good idea on what role each contestant will be playing this season. Granted, it does a better job than the introduction scene, though.

And yeah, the introduction scene is pretty much the worst part of the episode. Chris announces the season, yadda yadda, and the contestants are shown. First is Mike, which kinda confuses me. Why does he change into his personas? The last season made it clear that he has triggers. I don't know, I guess it was funny enough though.

And then we have Zoey. I'm kinda glad she's back, maybe this season will add something new to her cha-

"Miiiike!'"

Nevermind. Notice how every contestant's introduction has something to do with their character, and so Zoey's is fitting. Her character is literally clinging to Mike for 22 minutes. Next is Lightning, and his was funny too. The next four are pretty rushed, as we get to see Cameron's only line in this episode (Thank God), Sam, with still no explanation why he's in this season, Scott, who's gotten surprisingly funnier in the course of one episode, and Jo, who's basically just typical Jo.

Then the veterans come. Something seemed a bit off here. I don't know, the veterans' lines just didn't do it for me. Courtney's was okay, I guess. And whatta ya know, the love triangle has already begun. After Gwen's called a boyfriend stealer, she had this to say.

"He wasn't her boyfriend at the tiiiiiime!"

... Am I watching the same show or has Gwen just become delusionally stupid? Obviously Duncan and Courtney were dating at the time. I think. Was it ever clarified? I don't know, let's just move on. Here's Duncan.

"Bring it on!"

Eh.

"I haaaate Chriiiiis!"

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"I'm flyyyyyiiiiing!"

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
