Voice acting: 2/10. Animation: 5/10. Storylines: 2/10 Action: 3/10. Music: 1/10 (outside theme song) Theme song: 10/10. Production values: 3/10. Toys: 10/10. Writing: 1/10 Overall feature: 2/10
This is one of the more popular toy based cartoons of the 80s. The cartoon is pretty awful.
Essentially, I am an 80s kid who decided to rewatch the cartoons I enjoyed as a kid. I decided to watch uploads of M.A.S.K, Transformers, G.I JOE, he man, thundercats and whatnot. A couple were still watchable. But M.A.S.K was not one of them
Look, I know it has a excellent theme song. And not going to lie. The theme song is amazing and still got in my head 35+ years later. But the cartoon itself… Let’s get into that.
The first issue is the voice acting. It’s absolutely atrocious. It’s like the voice acting you would see on a YouTube parody, Not an actual cartoon. The voice acting is either generic, or flat out terrible. Another massive issue is Scott and T-Bob. They get in the way of everything and are very annoying. I will get into more detail later into this review. The cartoon is clearly a ripoff of transformers and the mask are implemented in a very stupid way. Basically. For about 30 seconds. There’s this music while the people turn on their masks which some from over their heads. Before then. There’s a full rundown of their names and them leaving to go get their masks. Which takes lots of time, look I get it. It’s to increase runtime.
The storylines are big and stupid. All of it can be summed up into this. Venom steals something or kidnaps somebody and then Mask catches them and always wins. With the stupid comedy relief characters (who always get kidnapped for some reason) and cheesy action inbetween. There is no running story and character development (Probably for easier syndication)
Let’s get to the characters. Well they are pretty average for an 80s cartoon. One dimensional and with a very annoying comedy relief. T-Bob and Scott are very annoying. They drag down the rating down to 2/10 As They interrupt everything and are completely pointless to the story.
Now let’s get to the writing. The writing is pretty bad. Same with the lines and humor in this show.
Now the final factor. The animation.
The animation isn’t great. Errors are minimal but there are a few flaws with the animation. The mouths don’t exactly align with the speech etc.. The artwork is somewhat decent (for 80s cartoon standards)
here’s other annoying things about this show.
Scott: Who is his dad and who is he the son of?
Why do the mask randomly pop out of cars? Etc…
Overall rating. 2/10. Don’t watch.
