' The Cuphead Show! makes more sense as an animated show directed at children because its jokes require little in the way of thought,' says Campbell. The Cuphead Show! is simply not funny: It's a 'weak-tea homage,' says Kambole Campbell.It’s fast and funny and knowing, and you almost certainly won’t die 188 times watching it. Because The Cuphead Show! feels like Cuphead reaching its most perfect form,' says Stuart Heritage, adding: 'All in all, The Cuphead Show! is an overwhelming success. The Cuphead Show! has perfected the original video game: 'It might sound complicated – a cartoon based on a game based on a different cartoon – but go along with it.So what if some kid doesn't get why this cartoon is sort of a bummer? Let them live.' Foreman adds: 'Ultimately, The Cuphead Show! makes the same mistake as other misguided Netflix adaptations: it fails to grasp what made the thing that prompted its very existence good (see Cowboy Bebop.) For this particular series, that doesn't mean game over.' On the other hand, the predictable program is so unimpeachably 'fine' that seriously objecting to it feels like an equally silly misuse of energy. 'On the one hand, Netflix's new animated series shamelessly wastes its video game inspiration - shoehorning iconic characters Cuphead and Mugman into a bland universe that could've been occupied by anyone or anything. 'It's hard to tell if the glass is half-full or half-empty when it comes to The Cuphead Show!' says Alison Foreman of the Netflix adaptation of the Cuphead video game.
