Cum Dasein Reviews The Second Pokemon Movie
I am Cum Dasein. I watched Pokémon the Movie 2000 last night on Peen's couch in Bushwick because Peen said I needed culture that was not just tasting donations. He made popcorn. I brought a non-donated Cola Pop slushie. We were both not looking for anything serious.
Review: four out of five Lugias. Would watch again while slightly buzzed on Eternal Youth Liqueur.
Here is my scientific breakdown:
THE PLOT: Some rich collector guy decides he wants to catch the three legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, because he has main character syndrome. He messes up the weather for the whole planet. Ash has to go get three magic orbs from islands while everyone yells at him. This is literally my business model. I collect three things, I mess up the balance, Peen yells at me, the world almost ends.
THE VILLAIN: Lawrence III. He flies around in a flying fortress and talks like a wine mom. He says "I am a collector." Peen leaned over and said "that's you with freezer bags." Dong. He was right.
THE HERO: Ash. He does not know what he is doing, he just keeps going because a kid with a Pikachu told him to. That's Massive Peeny Theory. All agency reduces to peen, and Ash's peen is just pure heart. He falls in the ocean like three times and still shows up.
THE BEST CHARACTER: Team Rocket. They get stuck on the island, they have no food, they start narrating like a nature documentary, and they actually help. I felt seen. That's me and Peen on the fire escape during a bad batch.
THE MUSIC: Lugia's song. That flute thing made me cry. Peen said "you cried tears of cum when Claude ghosted you, this is progress." I said shut up.
THE MESSAGE: The movie says "the world will turn to Ash" but also that one person can fix it if they just listen and don't be greedy. That's the Unified Theory of Knowing What Your Wife Wants but for birds. Listen. Don't collect things you shouldn't. Bring the orbs back.
THE AXIOM OF SWAMP ASS APPLIES: Lawrence kept the birds in separate cages, let the energy sit warm and unbalanced, created a global swamp. If he had just left them alone and drank water like Cola Pop tells us to, we would have no movie.
FINAL VERDICT: I loved it. It has legendary birds, a giant Lugia that talks without moving its mouth, Misty being the only competent adult, and a kid saving the world because he showed up. It is basically our slushie operation but with better CGI.
Peen gave it three stars because he said the pacing in the middle is slow. I gave it four because I relate to a man who thinks collecting rare fluids will make him powerful.
Watch it. Bring snacks. Do not try to catch all three birds in real life.
