Oh boy, I did say on my facebook account that this was going to be good... in a sarcastic way. I mean the review is very good and I cracked up with it every single moment, but at the end, when he says what'd we expected to see about this special, is, once again, screwed up, like when he said what he said it was like I felt that I was always being an idiot for loving this show since my childhood. Oh, and not to mention the surprise he gives at the end of the video. You might get surprised but shocked at the same time. So thank you very much, Doug. Thank you.

Meh. He's already expressed he doesn't like the Inspector Gadget series, and since I do, my attitude is why should I pay any attention as to what he has to say.
As for the end (I skipped to it)...honestly, that hardly surprises me. Cree Summers was willing to play Penny in the Robot Chicken spoof. This short was tame by comparison.
However, it had a very clear example as to why I say Cree Summers' current voice wouldn't work for Penny. It sounded rather strange with that accent. If I was going to cast for Penny now, at least as a teen, I'd go with Auli'i Cravalho. She has a slight accent as well, but it's not as prominent, at least in my opinion.

I remember you tagged me with this on Facebook which I understood why you wanted to bring it to my attention. Given he's shown in the past he doesn't like IG, just reading your ( you & Copter ) responses to the video, I'm not surprised at all.

Yeah, I had a feeling he was going to throw shit somewhere about the series itself no matter what. I only watched it because I was really curious about his thought of this special, which is indeed well viewed, and if he said only this special was crazy, ridiculous and stupid I would totally agree. But nope. He had to put that to the entire series as well. As for Cree Summer, it was really clever from his part to invite her to give the role for Penny one more time, but just to hear the character being the next Donald Trump? No, thank you. I'm kinda of surprised that many people wrote on the comment section of the video that the ending was great, which was but not for me. The ending, although it was clever, it freaked the shit out of me. That proves that people around the world don't want to see anything else asides of violence. As for her voice, yeah, I do agree. It sounded a little bit strange. If she tried to give a little more softer voice I'm sure it would have worked out. By the way, who is Auli'i Cravalho? Is there any character who she gives voice to?

I even thought he was going to be a little more clever this time, since he's reviews have started to be way well criticized, but it looks like my hopes didn't serve for anything.

The approach I took to this before I even went to watch it was like ,"Ok, I'm about to watch 'Robot Chicken'!". So I knew I wouldn't get offended. I think if you properly prepare yourself, it helps with the shock factor, cause it's bound to happen and I just don't take it to heart. I'm actually a big fan of 'Robot Chicken', because it's such a trip down memory lane for me. I actually grew up with those shows and cartoons. As for Cree Summers, I hear nothing but 'Number Five', every time she talks and not Penny. It's a shame really!

Agree. If she gave a more softer voice it would probably matched up.

Auli'i Cravalho is the English voice actor for speaking and singing for the title character in Moana (it might be Vaiana in Portugal. I know that's what the movie is called in Spain). I haven't see the movie yet, but started to listen to the sound track, and when I got to "How Far I'll Go," i decided that's what (my version of, at least) Penny would sound like. I heard an interview and some of the commercials and it only solidified my opinion.

I'm really a terrible person when it comes to memorize people's names, and when it comes to actors who will give the voices to characters always escapes me. I knew that that name seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember she's Moana. I already saw the movie. I don't want to give spoilers, but the animation is really good. And yeah, her voice is not bad. It could fit Penny well.

Speaking of hell, he just uploaded the animation part. I found a comic that comments pretty well on what the real older!Penny's attitude would be. mr-samson.deviantart.com/art/MAD-Penny-652076205Typical warning, this artist does have some NSFW art. Although I don't like the fact that this person drew huge boobies on Penny, the comic is really funny
