![]() ![]() ![]() This basically applies to just about everything in Jumanji. ![]() You can fight them, but you can’t kill them. As for the players who got sucked into the game, that’s another story. But in all fairness, we just don’t know, because we never see anyone really ever get killed in this thing, it is a 90s kid cartoon show after all (pussies). This is a show that takes the traditional/easy route that most shows back then took. There wasn’t really an ongoing story connecting most of the episodes together. Sure, there were some episodes that introduced a re-occurring character off and on, mainly adding another villain to the list alongside Van Pelt, a couple of which I found to be quite fascinating. But other than that, and the occasional episode which showed Peter and Judy having adapted to living in Jumanji about as well as Alan does (which should be expected), there really isn’t much there that would make one eager to see the next episode. So the show can get monotonous quite fast. Especially when nearly every episode starts out exactly the same. ![]() Plus every episode seems obligated to say the line, “Cool beans!” at least once. And Peter gets turned into some kind of animal in every other episode for the first 2 seasons. You know, because it happened in the movie.īut at least each episode has a typical theme to it, all linking to the “Clue” that is giving in the middle of the Jumanji board right before Judy and Peter get sucked in. Each episode pretty much goes like-so: Peter and/or Judy do something bad or questionable in the real world, they roll the dice for Jumanji (and the dice rolls honestly don’t matter one bit, their pieces never move, they never make any progress towards the end, and sometimes all they would have to do is damage the board game and piss it off to get sucked in, so the dice are fucking pointless), the Jumanji board gives a clue that either metaphorically links to their unethical behavior, or they get involved in an adventure relating to the clue that ties into the moral lesson of the day somehow. Rinse and repeat each episode thereafter. ![]()
