This was probably the worst thing I had seen in my life. It's been maybe two years since I had quietly tuned out from the show mostly since it didn't feel relatable anymore as it was employing more sci-fi/supernatural elements to it like ghosts; Flip being threatened with the notion of going into outer space; and recycled plots. Hadn't watched the Netflix movie so I can't really comment much on that.
Casagrandes...it was more or less just the Loud House but with Ronnie Anne Santiago with her extended family. It was more or less a skip for me. I do like Ronnie Anne as a character, but I fail to see how she was considered interesting enough for a spin off.
When I heard about there being a live-action Loud House special...I cringed mentally. I just hate live action adaptations of cartoons and anime largely because they fail to convey the visual creativity that the cartoons demonstrate. Instead of vibrant colors and lively animation, you would get a bland, mundane world.
This Christmas special was not good. In it, Lincoln is upset that his family is seemingly splitting apart when his sisters all have gigs for Christmas.
For one, the actors look nothing like the characters they play especially in regards to their hair. Sure, at the least the actor playing Lincoln has that small point in his hair, but for other characters like Lori, I initially did not know that was meant to be her because of the way her hair was done. I also couldn't help but feel some of the kid actors were miscast with Lisa and the twins looking too big. I mean, sure, I understand the reason for that, but it was distracting.
If anything...the actors all looked uncanny. Legitimately, I felt unnerved seeing all them act and move. Very, very creepy. Especially with Lucy, though I guess that was intentional. But Mr. Coconuts...I'll be sleeping with one eye open tonight with a frying pan beside me.
So how is the plot of the movie? Lincoln is simply the worst character in this film. I understand his concerns, but the lengths he takes in this special are purely despicable. Since I doubt no one really cares about spoilers for this: Lincoln convinces Luna that Mick Jagger was coming to town (even though she already met him before; albeit he was wearing a disguise but still) which causes Sam to break up with her; he and Clyde pretend to be senior citizens at a nursing home and sabotage Luan's chances of entertaining for the elderly folk; he steals Tanya the mannequin and fabricates some cryptid called a sharkidle and passes it off as being at Miami, Florida, driving a wedge with his family's plan of going to Miami on vacation.
Naturally, while Lincoln's plan seemingly goes well, the ramifications become apparent and his attempts at fixing his mistakes results in the news reporting that the aquatic monster was now in Royal Woods and they issue a curfew which ruins Lily's chances at lighting the town's Christmas tree.
Really, it reflects the problems some fans have had with the show where they paint Lincoln as a jackass. What's worse, Lincoln is hardly punished for his actions being given as much as a slap on the wrist. While he does break the fourth wall by saying he'd have to do 100+ hours of community service for the destruction he caused, that amounts to nil.
