The Animaniacs revival has failed to live up to what makes the original 1993 Animaniacs so great. It focuses far too much on making jokes over making sure the characters are well rounded enough to deliver the jokes. It doesn't help that the material most characters are given is lackluster at best. As such, you might be wondering why I gave this episode a positive review. That's because everyone dies when a meteor strikes them. The comedy for everything is still subpar, but the ending makes it all worth it. That may seem harsh, but it works here. You never really feel for the characters. They're just vessels for the writers to get out their personal views without any form of nuance. As such, you're glad they're dead since it means the show can no longer spit on the legacy of what made the original show so great. Goodbye Animaniacs 2020. No one will miss you.
