Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core

Hello. First time posting here, so sorry for me not getting how stuff works.

Anyone here watch Rush Zone: Guardians of the Core? To me its a mess on several levels.

Hype Aversion: It was advertised so aggressively on Nicktoons (not to mention they showed very little of the show itself) that this Troper was pissed when she heard it come on for what felt like the 20th time that I decided to check it out when it did come on with very high expectations since they wouldn't shut up about it. It was less than stellar...which leads to my next gripe.

TOO SHORT!: The episodes range from two-to-five minutes. How the hell is ANYONE suppose to get what's going on in such a small window of time? which then chains into...

Confusing as anything!: The origin story of the core is not only unsatisfying but leads to TWO gigantic Wall Bangers:

1. Why didn't the people on the planet use the cores power to defend themselves, rather than destroy their own PLANET to hide the thing on Earth?

2. Why is Ish NEEDED to protect it? If the covert purpose of the NFL was to protect the core from Sudden Death? Are you expecting me to BELIEVE that PRO ATHLETES who have been TRAINED to do this are too inept so a CHILD is needed (seriously, unless Ish has some kind of special power, I'm stumped)?

Ish, Ish, ISH!: Why didn't he question this OT person about why he is chosen instead of BLINDLY following along?

Their are other gripes, though I want to keep room open for conversation.

For those who have yet to see it, here are links to previous episodes:

Yes, the show sucks. Very, very much. So Bad Its Horrible

It's not even the animation that kills me...I could forgive that easily if it wasn't for the horrible story telling.

And they're making up a bunch of positive reviews to put a good spin on it.

The story, animation, and characters are horrible. And the only way they get ratings for this show is putting it in front of a good show or DBZ Kai's slot.

Also, Ish is a terrible name.

And the promotions for the show were awful, too.

"Ish... will save us ALL!"

If only they took their time with it. Then again, anything for a quick buck. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if they gave a fuck.

Just to get a quick buck, I'm sure they didn't give a fuck.

I'm so, so, so sorry.

Yeaaaah...riiiiight. ANYWAY, you aware that there's going to be an hour long version of this before the Super Bowl?

Oh man, that's going to suck.

Like a gay vampire.

What exactly posessed the NFL to support such a weak cartoon?

I hate this. Ish is a textbook Gary Stu. As for his retarded name, it keeps reminding me of Dr. Seuss for some peculiar reason....

—>''Who am I? My name is Ish On my hand I have a dish. I have this dish to help me wish. When I wish to make a wish I wave my hand with a big swish swish. Then I say, "I wish for fish!" And I get fish right on my dish. So... If you wish to make a wish, you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.''

• Oh yeah, that's why.....

@ Shadow Girl

Seems to be the vibe of him, though how much of it is HIS fault and how much of it is the fault of the PACING is debatable, though it seems rather interchangeable.

Ish is short for Ishmael and allegedly, the creator of the show named Ish after his nephew, an NFL fan who had died.

He must have some sort of grudge on this deceased Ishmael kid if he put this little effort into the show.

This show is so short I saw a trailer and thought, "Wow they just spoiled the whole episode now."

I'm of the opinion that the show could be better if it wasn't so short and didn't pay so much lipservice to the NFL.

Also, the "Game Balls." Just... no.

Nope, Tails. I feel so too.

The "Blitz Bots steal shard every week" gimmick is starting to get pretty old. My prediction: Ish is never going to win and the whole world is just about screwed, until a pathetic Deus ex Machina in the finale. Boring Failure Hero, anyone?

You mean we have to endure this for at least 10 more weeks? Greaaaat. . .

Also, I love how they always conveniently air this crap before DBZKai.

Well, this weeks proves that NFL players are fucking STUPID (last weeks too)!

How the hell do they not seem to do jack without Ish...wouldn't it be simplier to write him out or something!?

rush zone is one of the biggest piles of shit I have ever seen, not only does the animation suck but the story makes no sense. if there was some way I could push a button and make: Rush zone & zevo 3 go away forever, I would.

wait what??? they have those buttons???

I guess since they will give any ol retard their own show... I got an idea for a show!! its called: Flush Zone, Guardians of the por-ta-potty

instead of the hero being named Ish. the hero will be named Shit

Shit is a cosby kid who never got dropped off at the pool... until one day a no talent animator pooped his pants and thus flush zone is born!!

makes about as much sense... I bet people would actually watch my version

I'm sorry, what?

Last episode was really, really weird. Why did that fat kid randomly walk into the screen at the end?
