Love, death and robot volume 4 Review: still a lot to love

by

Yes, there is a mrbeast cameo in an episode of netflix's love, death and robots volume 4. The YouTube personality whose videos often follow hapless contestants competing in difficult or ridiculus challenges appears in “The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur” as the annioncer fight Within the Whose of Space Station, Whose WEALTHY GUESTS WATCH AS HUMAN Warriors Violently Battle Each Other While Riding on the Backs of Stampeding Triceratops. To be honest, it works: the casting of an online personality and a few other tricks, Volume 4, is a symbol of an anthology show that is tailor-made for the short-form streaming era, in which stories are compact and satisfactory, and the next one is only removed.

Six years after the premiere, love, death and robot, remains one of the last holds of Netflix '”We will simply let our artists do what they want”, a broad shop window from genres, concepts and animation styles with which their writers, animators and language actors can play. The assessment of a new season is less a question of whether the show as a whole is “good” or not, and more of a degree in what is worth something to be seen. However, seeing the 10 shorts of Volume 4 is a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon.

As with any anthology series, there is outstanding among the more skipping tariffs. This season begins with an incredibly strange music video staged by David Fincher with Red Hot Chili Peppers with the members of the band as a caricated string doll versions of themselves who sing a live recording of their pioneering banger “Can't Stop”. Robert Valley (whose gang 1 episode “Zima Blue” remains the gold standard for what a show can achieve like this) returns with “400 boys”, an exciting gangland -odyssey that plays in a post -apocalyptic city, in the competing “teams” to defeat a gang of huge babies, which with Valley's signature Stylized, angular flair, angular flair, animated.

Later he comes decidedly Hellboy-inflexed “How Zeke got religion”, a short cosmic-horror short set on board a bomber of the Second World War, which has to blow up a French church before a group of National Socialist occultists can raise a demonic fallen angel. The “Tyrannosaurs” mentioned above is a miracle of lifelike CGI that, despite its short length, moves against a fantastic background. The season closes with “For He can crawl”, about a cat that fights against the Satan against the immortal soul of a crazy poet, with a wonderful animation that is brought to life like an etching.

It is difficult to assess exactly how successful such a show is, since none of the stories presented in these shorts and not much space for a lot of world buildings or traditions are available. Certain episodes broke through a wider audience -a few years ago, every make -up artist with an online platform seemed to reproduce the unmistakable glittering appearance of the river siren from Volume 3 episode “Jibaro”. But what you lose in the mere mass gain a variety, opportunities and an appeal to a number of flavors: whether you will enjoy the productive science fiction author John Scalzis both funny posts on Volume 4, “The other Large Thing” and “Smart Appliances, stupid owners” will be enjoyed by your bandwidth for the comedy of the genre.

A short film has the time to be perfected for frame that does not do a function. A 5-minute story has a limited amount of space to convey your ideas and shave everything strange, so that the rest is ideally the purest essence of the thing. There is an entire universe and a mythology that forms the backbone for the deep loving history between a cyborg and its extraterrestrial pet in “Spider Rose”. We only get a quick look, but the main story is still effective. Love, death and robot continue to make this promise four seasons. It is ideal for a class of viewers who have to call the future of apps, texts, texts and Tikok, but if this is the future of what we reluctantly call “content” – short, digestive, daring -, we could make much worse.
