BOBOIBOY GENTAR COMMENTARY

Theres things in here that keep this arc as my favorite

But first thought i'd like to point out is the vault change

This entire reason change as to how codebot is the way he is reminds me of the rewind fanfiction

Adudu's want for a power sphere then opening up a vault thats keeping said power sphere which turns out to be dangerous and having major consequences for its release

Another thing with this arc is how its connecting things together again in boboiboy making it a whole story from 2011 to now

The callbacks and references

And that the storywriting and character writing definitely is more prominent in this arc and again is adding more within this continuity

If you compare it with the comic, it definitely has less gags but is late to put in the friends writing when it comes to helping boboiboy which is pointed out and placed in the gurlatan arc, but this was before season 2 released anyway so it places a realization for improvement

The character writing point i meant here is that it became more of the focus, literally bringing back the type of writing they did in the boboiboy series

Them also making gentar parallel and also like some connection with season 3 is a wonderful decision because it goes in line with adudu's redemption and the probe fiasco, but its also within line from season 3 to the movie

Cuz of ochobot which is what maple anon said in an ask

The meta jokes where timed nicely, even if it was sometimes mid battle, they make it but get on with it immediately not taking the serious vibe thats already there away

The show not tell is more prominent more too

Gentar arc being the arc thats connecting and improving galaxy as a whole because its slowly fixing some things like 'oh the old boboiboy series is barely mentioned, like it never happened' 'why isnt gopal doing much, comparison to the comic version'

This is a great arc not just visually from all the onomatopoeia frame impacts which are cool btw, and the 2d elements which are blending in more better mixed with the 3d elements, but it brings a paralleled storywriting that connects the series together

From the comic, its like they just remembered adudu redeemed out of the blue before which is a flaw

Here, adudu still remembers the said redemption which connects

Another thing that adds is adudu's character, basically a neutral guy

Of course he still wants to be bad, hes raised in a planet that by being bad, is rewarded in it

Of course being redeemed in season 3 wont last long, especially his mom coming and a psychological effect of being appreciated especially by his mom made him revert back

But of course the redeemed effect is still imprinted in him, he still has morals which made him bullied by the rest of his species anyways, which is by helping probe and keeping all junk he finds and turning it into something impressive

And that his relation to boboiboy and gopal whom gave him appreciation for becoming a better person or being more in line with his morals whom he was bullied for and was put at the bottom

But he stays neutral which is good!

Gopal too shines, with his bravery! I love him being upfront to protect boboiboy, this really did remind me of Ussop! Which someone had pointed out before

Love it furthering his character from what it lacked within galaxy

with his quick and defensive thinking when he confronted and called out adudu and confronted robo dumpster and made sure he wont get hurt further with his molecule changing powers here

For boboiboy himself, is like widening this extensive hero complex he has as gentar

Like a coping mechanism

He has to be the hero cuz of course he is! Everything and everyone will need my help!

But y'know, him focusing on ochobot and ochobot only really sets that back, that confident hero sona that got ochobot to where he is which started in season 3 too

And from movie one as well and was put on close call with season 1's finale

Theres one person he will set his hero complex aside for and its his most special best friend

I love it bringing more focus unto their relationship at this part

Qually is just confused at the call backs, but i love when his intelligence took place for the reactor

Overall the serious and non serious situations were well balanced, the story is taking place and is going at its own pace that doesnt feel rushed

The teleportation sequence is amazingly cool

I love gentar's golem/mech removing gempa's weakpoint which is controlling the golem from the outside which makes him vulnerable

Gentar using close combat dash attacks which is Hali's attack move and attack brashly but on point both Gempa and Hali

The electromagnetism is strong with this one

Again, ill say gentar is fave fusion by just how his power is a new yet connected version of halilintar and gempa

Compacted minerals, metal basically and electromagnetism, and absorption and release, from and earth and lightning. Like a copper lightning rod

Redirection of 'lightning' or well, energy.

Its diversifying the use of the elements thats not used like the original elements themselves which is what makes gentar more unique than the rest of the fusions

Again with the connections like the gentar setups from the past arcs and now baraju setup with this arc.

This is by far, best arc
