Most of us have downloaded Ninjafest part 5 by now, which has stage 3 and 4 and then the wrap up all in one. Everyone may give a rating out of 10 and share some gripes or good parts about it. Wow, I really have no other way of saying this but to list what I liked and seriously didn't like.
Good
Luci's reaction after falling: I could kind of see how much it sucked and what she's like when she's pissed off. "Mother *buuup*" "I know, it sucks dude feels like *buuup*"
David's footage: Yup always good to see what he was thinking and had to say.
Yuuji's interview: YAY He talked to G4's cameras!
Aaron's interview: The cool kid in red, yeah it was good that he had a lot of input which they showed.
Bad
(Pretty much all the rest. There's a few things though that are specific but we all can agree on.)
All star recap:
"First up was Shingo Yamamoto"
You mean Akiyama..
"His run this year started incredibly strong, flying through the first four obstacles as he has many times before.."
aha..
"but a careless step on the half pipe attack cost him the chance to prove he still had what it takes."
yeah, you're in a real position to be talking like that Olivia.
"It was now Toshihiro Takeda's chance..."
You mean Yamada.
"He blazed through the first 3 obstacles and..."
Oh gee, could it be? I woulda never suspected he would fall there after telling me he completed only 3 obstacles. What the hell's gonna happen?
"Takeda paused and took a deep breath before attempting the daunting JS. AND IT WAS HERE WHERE HIS RUN ENDED"
....ya know, my eyes don't really deceive me, what do I have to be spoon fed this information? Why not just let me see Takeda approach the obstacle and fall? Less is more, G4. Same goes for Nagano when they announce he failed there before we see him fall during the shot.
"Last but certainly not least was the ultimate ninja warrior, Makoto Nagano!"
'cause, you know, there's only three all stars.
Okay we see Nagano's run and then they're courteous enough to show Akiyama and Yamada's falls for like a full second each.
Here's what I'm trying to understand, why leave Akiyama and Yamada out? Is G4 scared of them? Do they just feel like they were too much in the darkness for their show? Are they a*****es to them? Would it sound weird having Olivia talk about their runs? See there's a good point, it was okay to hear Dave Wittenberg talk about whoever, because it doesn't sound good for Olivia to say most of the things that the wrap up show requires. Dave is annoying but he's better during the ninjafest specials.
More Bad
SOO much focus on Olivia clearing the steps. I cannot even believe how much they forced it down our throats that she wanted to beat that obstacle. I don't care! I mean I can take it for a while, certainly, but stop reminding me! You already showed us that, G4, move on!
Some extra flubs I screamed at:
EVEN ON THE FRIGGING FINAL STAGE?
It's priceless. He's doing what even the All-Star "is" couldn't? rofl
and to be honest, I knew Yuuji would be shown last on stage 3 because G4 likes to be all dramatic and whatnot. I knew they were going to show it in that order since the end of March, I already was prepared. It seems to fit, but, once I actually saw that they showed him last and had Dave announce him as "the final competitor" I talked back at the screen in utter correction and annoyance. They couldn't even show Kanno first or whatever, no, they have to show two guys who did the worst on the cliffhanger (showing Lee first because they felt Okuyama had better form) and just the order of the competitors was gay. How much you want a bet they showed Sato first in Stage 2?
Final score for ANC4 Wrap Up is 5 out of 10. This rating doesn't actually mean it's stepped into the realms of awful, it's good medicore fun and thats what a 5 implies. Some of the problems they had have been what they have done all the time and they've had these problems all along. A couple were new though and unexpected, like missing all stars and certain things skipped over just for running time matter.
