Review: Major Lazer ”Double Cup”
Spoilers Below
General Rubbish and President Whitewall are ready to end this with Major Lazer, so Rubbish calls up ‘Double Cup’. Double Cup decides to contaminate a popular soda so that it causes everyone at Major Lazer’s party to slow down. As a result, Major, Penny, and Blkmarkt decide to break into the soda factory and put a stop to it by counteracting with a new energy drink. Major Lazer ends up duking it out with Double Cup and then takes the energy drink ingredients and puts it in both the soda factory and the town’s drinking water, thereby guaranteeing everyone gets their ”wings”.
Our Take
Coming off of a strong episode last week, Major Lazer again sets the bar for the show’s best episode. The art direction during Penny’s battles really stood out to me. The backing soundtracks did for the show what it should do, not be the point of the series but provide background music for when shit goes down. That’s what we got this week as Major Lazer’s battle was choreographed well and Penny showed a side of her that we quite hadn’t seen yet, but the scenes were scored to perfection. It’s too bad that this is really the first we get to see of Rubbish and Whitewall, but I’m glad it finally happened because it gives us, the fans, something to aspire to see in the case of a big showdown between good and evil. When that happens, I’ll be right there looking for it.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
