Topic	Jesse Ranks TV Show Intros - The Rankings
Jesse_Custer 06/28/20 11:26:29 AM #154:	84. Metalocalypse - Murphiroth https://youtu.be/5IzEncyqfgw Unique: 6.5 Story: 1 Music: 4 Animation: 4 Personal: 0.25 Average: 3.15 Suffice it to say, I am not a fan of metal. I like some bands that arguably border on the genre, but I absolutely could not stand this. But despite how much the music made me think of a dentist drill, I am compelled to assign a respectable score for that factor because the song goes so well with the visuals and does a lot to set the tone. Since this is a TV show, they could have just gone with a safe and watered down metal-ish song, but instead went with something more authentic, and I can respect that. The intro scores best in the Unique factor for obvious reasons. After all, how many intros look like this? Arguably, I could have scored it even higher in that factor. But the way I figured it this sequence takes its inspiration from imagery commonly associated with metal, without coming up with anything truly original or, for instance, blending metal with something else by taking the characters out of their element. Animation earns a lower score due to the somewhat amateurish nature of the artwork, which is easy to overlook thanks to all the flashing lights (which should probably warrant an epilepsy warning). The visual effects also strike me as simplistic, aside from the sudden transition of that guys face into a skull near the end. And as for Story, well, theres not much you can say about any of these characters. We see them one by one scowling at the camera, but theres nothing to distinguish the personality of one character from another. They all play metal and ride motorcycles, and thats about all that comes across. Aside from that, I suppose the story is they inhabit an environment that is the epitome of metal in every way. But theres no subtlety to it, the intro just hits you over the head with it. And I guess thats the point. This is metal and thats all there is to it. --- I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a boogeyman or boogeymen in the house <cite>Jesse_Custer posted [p:941380936] in Jesse Rank...
