3/5 stars. It was ok. Just an ordinary episode.
He was supposed to be annoying and selfish. Some people are like that you know. And that was the point. Did you not listen to the end?Smaug the dragon wrote:I liked this episode but I only gave it three stars because of a few problems I had with the characters:
Marvin:
He was so annoying! Hitting someone on the head with drumsticks? Ouch.
He was vey selfish! How many people would say 'I don't want to give away MY really cool bike so I think I'll just persuade my friend to give away HIS! I mean come on, that isn't really fair.
I think their trying to portray the kids as realistic. I mean, the stuff you mentioned is nothing compared to what I've seen in real life. And from so-called Christian's too. Keep in mind this episode portrayed selfishness, but it promoted self-lessness.Smaug the dragon wrote:Grady:
Anger problems! Yes, throw a pair of very hard wooden sticks out of a moving vehical, very clever! Also I didn't hear him saying thanks to Marvin at the end. 'Hey Marvin. I know you just gave away to me a very expensive bike that you were really excited about getting. I didn't cry when I found out it was you. Wheeeeee! This bike is awesome! *rub it in, rub rub*
EDIT: Excuse me he actually does slide in a 'thanks' at the end.
Trent:
Yes even Trent had some attitude problems. He was so unencouraging to Marvin at the beginnig. Also it sounds like he's not Marvins friend anymore (where he says ' You and your bike can have a happy life together') because of a bike?

It's also annoying, IMHO, when they act fake and are all giddy and happy and perfect.J-man wrote: It really is more realistic if you think about it, but it's also rather annoying IMO.. I do like that they're trying though. I guess I sorta like it and sorta don't.
