MysterionMuffles Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Full House was a big part of my childhood, so I was excited and skeptical of it getting a modern day reboot. Does Fuller House live up to the hype or does it disappoint? Check out my video review right here! 3
Matthew Ed Moran Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Wow! I was pretty in shock when I heard they have a single mom with 3 children in the plot. I would love to hear more about that! I would be interested in you talking about any differences they presented about 3 women taking care of 3 boys which may or may not be realistic to our present day era of single moms. I know there is a huge difference between widowed moms and divorced moms, so I guess I'm a little annoyed they didn't go the more controversial route if it meant being more true what is happening in the state of society we live in. That might an annoyance personal to me though. Do the kids ever rebel against doing chores? That is basically slave labor... Do you think it is a metaphor for the disposability of males? Their father dies at work, and then his children are used for slave labor by the females who are left in charge... Did the mother's encourage the father's dangerous job, or did they have reservations about the risk he was at to provide for the family? The last thing I would like is to hear more about how realistic the parenting is of the 3 boys by 3 women. I just want to know how they are empathized with, and how often it is brought up how important it would be for them to have a father around, and how irreplaceable male love is. Even if they are doing their best for the boys, it would be interesting to me how aware Full House is of the importance of male love. I personally don't mind spoilers at all, since I don't watch this show, but I know it is (or was?) a pretty big staple of American culture so that is why I'm interested Really good job on the video! 1
MysterionMuffles Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 They rebel in other ways like DJ's son Jackson helping Kimmy's daughter Ramona ditch school, as well as hanging out with kids who perform dangerous stunts. It's portrayed as something as he picked up from his father but DJ tells him that fighting fires was his job and it saved people while Jackson was just being reckless. In his defense, it is his way of feeling closer to his deceased father. It was 60/40 romance/parenting but I still enjoyed it because it was good when it was there. The disposability thing doesn't apply much if the original men of the show still make guest appearances and do their part with their grandchildren/grandniece/grandnephews and imparting some wisdom for them. The second episode has Uncle Joey babysitting the new cast of kids who are all so enveloped by their iPads that he takes all their devices away and provides them with goofy, but safe weapons like streamers and slime guns. They resent the idea at first because they all want to do their own thing, but it brings them closer in that they want to team up and take Joey down for pranking them. Then of course there's Danny using his media personality to pull some strings so that Max the middle child can ride a fire truck to a friend's party because his father used to be able to do it before the chief of the station was replaced. And yeah I think it would have been interesting to have her divorced as opposed to widowed, and although it's weird for the kids to be instantly okay with her dating new men, it's not that hard to believe since the two guys who compete for DJ's affections are actually swell dudes. Both competant health practitioners and positive male role models for the boys.
luxfelix Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Solid review. Now I'm curious as to what the hair bit was about at the end...
MysterionMuffles Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Solid review. Now I'm curious as to what the hair bit was about at the end... I have no clue what you're talking about lol I forgot to record a sign off message before I finished. I only realized that after I took a shower an hour of editing, and I didn't want to do my hair all over again just to record it XD 1
__2 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 My eyebrows inched upwards at the scene where Ramona pushes back to her mom about moving in with the main family because they're "so white". Of course, the episodes all end with hugs and togetherness. Loved the playful bits like Rainbow Jamz mentioned above. 1
ValueOfBrevity Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 In the episode where Joey babysits the kids, I didn't notice he was wearing rolling blades until he awkwardly rolls into the shot
