Neptune, Ren, and Sun are playing video games, when Neptune encounters an enemy that he’s never defeated. He swears to defeat his longtime enemy, but his enemy defeats his character first. He falls down in despair, wondering how his enemy could know all his moves before he could use them. As he whines, Sun reveals that he’s holding the other controller.
Score:
3/10
“Snaps”
Velvet scans Ruby’s scythe, and starts modifying it. She tries putting on several skins, but decides that she likes the original colors the best.
Score:
4/10
“Dad Jokes”
Nora is passed out on the couch, comatose from eating too much. As Sun tries to figure out what’s wrong, Yang keeps making bad puns. Sun tries to reprimand her, since this could be serious, but she continues. Taiyang shows up, and asks how things are going before making another pun. Sun groans that Taiyang is making dad jokes, and the group quickly makes up excuses to leave. Only Taiyang and Yang remain, and they continue making bad jokes at each other.
Score
3/10
Still not terribly impressive. The skits this time are more slice of life, and are cute, but not enough to be funny. The best short is likely Snaps, which extrapolates on Velvet’s duplication abilities, but adds a fun twist with video game skins.
Worst Short: Neptune’s Game
Best Short: Snaps
"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
