History WesternAnimation / BoysOfValor

However, it bombed upon release due to numerous issues-- including its atrocious voice-acting (with one of the brothers ''literally'' phoning in his performance) and editing, poor animation[[labelnote:*]]One of the 3D models was literally ripped ''straight from VideoGame/TheSims3''[[/labelnote]], and flat characterisation-- and quickly faded into obscurity, only coming to attention after being reviewed on the internet. Nevertheless, it remains an [[BileFascination interesting]] watch, even if just to get an idea of how ''not'' to do Christian children's entertainment.

* FlatCharacter: ''Everyone.'' There's literally nothing to discern any of the boys from each other aside from a few brief ExpoDump moments that often end up being repeated, and the villains are never shown to have any real motivation for what they do besides ForTheEvulz.

* KidHero: All the Boys of Valor. Their ages, [[VagueAge though vague]], seem to range from maybe 12 at most to maybe 5.

* NeverSayDie: Death is never alluded to by name-- although the antagonists do say that they will "destroy" the protagonists (and Jessica) a lot.

* ZeroEffortBoss: The Spirit of Division is defeated by ''dancing''-- something which even ''he's'' incredulous about.

-->5. Rinse and repeat with no changes in strategy beyond "evil, [[EvilLaugh "ha ha har"]] and the like.
-->6. [[WesternAnimation ???, PROFIT!]]

* BigBad: The most recurring villains in the series are the [[CardCarryingVillain Evil Bots]]. They're gang of Toys/{{Bionicle}}-like robots with wings, overly-large heads and pitch-altered voices who like to [[EvilLaugh laugh forcedly]] and [[ForTheEvulz do evil things for the sake of doing evil things]].

* AsTheGoodBookSays: As it's a predominantly-Christian feature, this is to be expected. It's even used for incredibly minor instances such as falling over--

* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Zig-zagged. In ''The Rescue'', the Boys wield "Faith Lasers" that shoot laser beams (and make the sounds of toy guns), but bear a questionable resemblance to palette-swapped AK-47 assault rifles. Completely averted in ''Mr. Gun Control'', in which one of the robots tries to use a pump-action shotgun to murder a child.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Mr Evil, the antagonist of ''The Rescue''.

* RandomEventsPlot: One of the big problems with the series is the ''atrocious'' editing. The plots bounce around all over the place, and often find themselves being cut into with things like loading screens (in an animation) and re-used footage from the previous episodes.

* ShowDontTell: This is a major problem with ''The Spirit of Division''. Although the villain (the titular Spirit of Division, even though he looks more like a robot) repeatedly says that he exists to "divide families, homes and marriages", [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything he's never actually shown doing that]]-- nor is he ever shown trying to divide the Boys of Valor.
* SimpletonVoice: At least one of the robot Mooks with speaking roles in each short has this.

* ZeroEffortBoss: The Spirit of Division is defeated by ''dancing''-- something which even he's incredulous about.

* AllCGICartoon: As you can probably tell by the cover art above, it's a ''very'' badly-animated one at that. The movement is stiff and robotic (including all seven boys blinking at the same time), clipping is pretty much a regular occurrence, and there's even multiple bits where characters fly through the air and collide straight into the ground, remaining rock-still all the while.

* NeverSayDie: Death is never alluded to by name-- although the antagonists do say that they will "destroy" the protagonists (and Jessica) a lot.

* {{Plagiarism}}: The model for God is ripped from ''VideoGame/TheSims'', and the design of the Boys' vehicle in ''The Rescue'' is a recoloured version of the Warthog from ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved''.

''Boys of Valor'' is a 2013 Christian animated series created by junior art school teacher Daniel Bryant ([[IReadThatAs no]], [[Wrestling/DanielBryan not that one]]), which was designed to combine animation and faith in a way not seen before. Featuring younger versions of Bryant and his six brothers, they work as a team of superheroes who battle evil and spread the word of God.

* {{Padding}}: By the bucketload, and to the point where you have video game-style loading screens in the middle of an animation, which only serves to waste time and break up the flow of the story.

* LarynxDissonance: Jessica is very obviously voiced by a man.

* InMemoriam: ''Mr. Gun Control'' was dedicated to the 27 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

* {{Ninja}}: The boys sometimes wear all-over jumpsuits that resemble those of ninjas. They were originally a featureless gray/khaki color in the first volume, but later become colored, giving them somewhat of a resemblance to the Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers.
