Drakoloid Review: October 28th ARTic & Viral Jenneration - The End & Beginning of a New Era

Hello internet,


Retrograv here with my first review in a long time, My Drakoloid reviews always get the most views so I thought I would do one tonight on Drakoloid's/Frakoloid supposed "Night Of Terror".



First Drakoloid finally premiered the new season of ARTic which is also the final season. Now many were pretty hyped up for months but it finally came out. As someone who watched ARTic since it first came out many things have changed with the show. In tonights episode "The Phantom Funhouse"  Samantha gets a job at a Phantom Funhouse where she wants Jennifer, Amy, Bradley and Blake to make a prop for it.

When they place it in the funhouse they get lost and all hell breaks lose. Got to say the visuals in this were amazing reminds me of Sarah Kellysen's Psychedelic music videos as like a promotion, don't know if that was the intention. But I have to say Sarah Kellysen/Jennifer Clotz seemed very tired and very off in this she didn't seem like her usual. Starting with that gap sweater she was wearing it didn't make sense with her character. Its like a cross breed of Jennifer/Alice. Maybe Sarah is just tired now and her time is up as Queen of Drakoloid? Its strange how this episode is airing on this night and we notice this now.

I wasn't the only one who thought this many on twitter were discussing Sarah's spark/magic in her acting is gone. Also Jack Kelly who plays Blake Columbus he looked really good in this episode I wonder if he goes to the gym because it looks like he has a six pack, kind of how Drake Vegas always pictured Blake. He did a good job with acting and his scenery was the best.

Alejandra Deleon replacing Pat Kizer for Samantha Vegas I think because Pat has been busy and hasn't done youtube videos in a while. Alejandra does a really good job at Samantha because she's played villains on Rock The Basement and now ARTic. She could be in the rein for new Drakoloid Queen and possibly youtube queen. That make up and outfit was on point perfect and made Samantha look like a sexy slaying witch. Guess that works for halloween? ;)

As for Bradley Berkowitz, Rhys Clarke gets better and better every time he looked really good in this episode and those echo effects on his voice brought a haunting vibe to the whole episode. Elly Chan who plays Amy did decent herself and is getting better as time goes. Overall, The Phantom Funhouse is a strange season premiere, a fun one yet very bizarre and different. Not my favourite episode ever but its pretty average or above it so I would give either a 6.5/10 or 7/10.



The long anticipating Viral Jenneration has finally premiered tonight. This show stars Hazel Woodley, Shripunzel Jr, R.H.V., Cameron Watson and Michaela Chandler. It is based off the story of Jenna Rose the girl who got internet famous for being a young overly autotuned singer. In this case Jenna Martinez who plays Woodley has the same situation and its a view of how Jenna Rose's real life the day after she became Viral. The way its portrayed and written is really well excuted in my opinion. Hazel Woodley nails from bad to good really well in her acting, theres in more in-depth here then in her Teenhood performance, Maybe its because she's older here. I felt the same way about Cameron Watson who plays Ryder Thompson in this. In Long Lost he did a great job, but in this even better because he's older and has gotten more acting experience. Cameron also has great whitty comedic timing and charm that just works. As for Shripunzel and R.H.V. who play Sage and Leo they fit their part of being strong in a small world for being the small ones who were bullied on. They are great in tonights episode but you can see their is work needed but I think like other Drakoloid actors they will improve. Then there is the two twin villains done by one actor Michaela Chandler. She is a brilliant actress for playing two parts one looks bi polar and the other is completely dazed. Beautiful job on the role and nailed it.

Overall, Viral Jenneration truly is the new ARTic by the looks of it to lead the new generation of Drakoloid into a new direction. Its fresh, relatable to kids these days because anyone can become viral easily and it has a message about bullying and cyber bullying. Not to mention Hazel Woodley breaking out as her own type of artist and not being like the typical pop artists that work on Drakoloid. Hazel Woodley is the new queen/princess of Drakoloid and I hope we see her on more shows and Cameron Watson is the new king of Drakoloid and I hope we see him in more too. As well as Alejandra Deleon, Derek De Jong, Nicholas Merchant, Rhys Clarke and Pat Kizer as being legends too.

Tonight was the night where we can see the end of the last era and now were starting the new era of Drakoloid now.
