How is it that the video starts off as pretending, but becomes more and more genuine as it goes on? Oddity aside, the DKC show has a special place in my heart. It's actually a Canadian cartoon and I was able to watch it through On Demand; falling in love. While it's certainly aged and isn't that good, there's some real effort in it and the show can still be rather enjoyable. There's multiple moments of surprisingly good writing and characters such as DK, King K. Rool and Bluster himself are always entertaining. The voices in the cartoon have become the main voice many people hear in their heads when they think of the characters from the games. I can't help but think of the cartoon when someone mentions DKC. It's flawed, but it's certainly not trash. There's legitimently good things in this show and Bluster is one of them. He's always been. *Cementing how to design for the greatest villian*

[@CrimsonMoonM]

16:41 Ok, i agree with this tier list but I'd just want to bring up that Funky Kong is much more powerful in the games. He's basically a god tier given that he defeats K. Rool in 64, invented the barrel cannons (according to DKC1 and mario super sluggers), and is a weapons manufacturer who can swing a surfboard hard enough to hit a home run (the force of which would apparently cause a tornado, according to the math someone on tiktok did). Funky Kong in the games is easily the strongest, smartest and nicest character. However, I'm glad to see that you've picked up on Eddie the mean old Yeti's power to control timelines, though. I'm sure a lesser youtuber (like everybody who pans this cinematic masterpiece) would have let that slip by.

Remember, we had Toy Story to compare it to. Heck even Beast Wars managed to look better. It was also incredibly cheesy even by cartoon standards of the time. We had the likes of X-Men, Batman, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, and Gargoyles to compare it to. We also had a bunch of much more terrible shows... but the point is... yea it was never good BUUUUUT...
