Apple and Their Inaccurate-as-Crap Descriptions of SRMTHFG Episodes
So, I’ve made an interesting discovery today
You can look up SRMTHFG on the Apple TV app, though you can’t actually watch it on there without linking a Disney+ subscription (hilarious, considering all the HD episodes are available on YouTube). Not super exciting, but what caught my attention was the title for S3E6:
Which… apparently was a potential title for Girl Trouble? And it showed up on TV forums from back in the day? Not sure how it ended up here of all places, though (thanks, Cloud :0c)
Anyway, I kept looking through the page, and whoever wrote these episode descriptions absolutely did not watch this show. Not that I’m surprised at this point, but come on, man, how hard is it to find the episodes on YouTube, watch them, then break them down into a couple sentences each?
Anyway, here are some highlights along with my commentary:
So I know there isn’t an official spelling for Sparx’s name aside from his serial number, but how do you get “Sparks” from “SPRX-77”? Also, it was NOT Chiro’s fault that Sparx got kidnapped by a nutty cyborg collector
Other than the slightly odd wording, the only notable thing about this description is how they refer to the Supreme Destructor as the Supreme Destroyer
Am I biased if I say that it was not fun at any point?
Why do they call him “the boy” lol
First of all, it was a monster that Skeleton King created dropping his eye into Shuggazoomian waters. Second, where did this person’s grammar go?
Okay, there’s a lot wrong with this description, but the main thing that gets me is how Nova is referred to as he. And unfortunately, you’re gonna see this a lot (well, only one other time, but still)
First of all, far from their last mission. Probably could’ve gotten away with saying something like “what they think is their last mission” tbh. Second, “one of them is seriously hurt”? Understatement of the century
So like, this is the longest description out of all of them, and it kind of glosses over the weird AI thing and the shit it pulls. I guess where else were they supposed to explain the Skeleton King Droid since this isn’t the only episode we see it in, but still
We don’t even know what happened to Nova after she fell into the wormhole??? Any specifics, anyway
“Gain allies”? What’s this even mean??
Okay, this isn’t even the correct episode order???? Or at least I thought it was. Apparently this episode aired before Ghosts of Shuggazoom, hence why it shows up like this on most episode lists? But still, this doesn’t happen during Ghosts of Shuggazoom??
This description is perfectly fine, I just thought it’d be funny to post this and then compare it to the Wikipedia page (seriously, Chiro does not “bust an ankle”)
Okay, what? First of all, they left his sorry ass to blow up with the Skeleton King Worm. And second, I don’t think it’s so much “controlling their minds” as much as it is bringing their worst fears to life?
Isn't his name Prometheus? Lol (edit: wait no, Proteus?)
So yeah. There you have it. Most of the other descriptions are fine, some of them have weird grammar errors, and sometimes they don’t put “the” before “Super Robot” (even the description for Girl Trouble Bratty Pair wasn’t really exciting), but these ones in particular were really… something
