REVIEW: Titan Maximum

by Handel on Oct.11, 2009, under TV, TV Show Reviews

                I am one of those peo­ple that likes to be sur­prised and doesn’t try to get all the info on a new show or movie. All I had heard about “Titan max­i­mum” was that it was cre­ated by the minds behind Robot Chicken and that it was inspired by Voltron and sim­i­lar mecha-based animé. Those were two fac­tors that made me think “cool, this is going to be like the shows I enjoyed as a kid.” Truth is, it does pay homage to those shows, but it in essence, Titan Max­i­mum is two things: a poorly done spoof on mecha-based anime and a really long Robot Chicken skit – a bad one at that.

The original crew

The orig­i­nal crew

                I am not even going to do my reg­u­lar review for­mat for this show. The story goes like this: The leader is a jerk, there are two girls: one is a prude who got deflow­ered by the main bad guy (who used to be on the team) and the other is a whore, just so they can have sex jokes. The orig­i­nal fifth mem­ber died because he is a dum­b­ass (he fell out of his high rise win­dow while sniff­ing coke with a pros­ti­tute). The guy who used to be on the team is replaced by the leader’s lit­tle brother, who becomes the team’s engi­neer (he has an engi­neer­ing degree from DeVry, because that just gets fun­nier every time we hear it). The dum­b­ass who fell out the win­dow is replaced by…..a monkey.

The new crew (r-l) Leader, Prude, Whore, nerd. . . . monkey (sigh)

The new crew (r-l) Leader, Prude, Whore, nerd.… mon­key (sigh)

That’s right folks, a mon­key. A mon­key that makes no sounds and has the same face all the time. I strongly believe he will carry the show.

                And that’s it, I’m done. If you like Robot Chicken (let me be hon­est, I really do) then you will prob­a­bly hate this show. Remem­ber your favorite episode of RC and how it was so funny but there was that one skit that you hated? That’s Titan Max­i­mum and now it’s eleven min­utes long. Stoopid Monkey.

 

Did I mention that this guy on the lefts real name is Admiral BITCHFACE? It really is.

Did I men­tion that this guy on the left’s real name is Admi­ral BITCHFACE? It really is.

Unless there are some seri­ous improve­ments, Titan Max­i­mum gets a 3 out of 10 because the open­ing sequence of the first episode was utterly hys­ter­i­cal and that is the only rea­son I sat through the twenty-two minute long premiere.

 

This is Titan Maximum. Seriously

(I will update this if the show gets better)
