    WORLD PREMIERE FICS

    This "series", if you will, is gonna be my dumping ground for various ideas; most often plot bunnies that don't have much besides a premise. Think of this as an anthology of sorts. There won't be any set schedules, themes, or the like; ideas will just come as they see fit. Who knows, there might be recurring bits.

    The Absurd, Surreal, Metaphysical and Fractured Destiny of Cerebus the Aardvark (seriously, shorten that damn title, JFC), the (via Dave Sim's own blessing) official film adaptation of, well, Cerebus the Aardvark.

    Lemme tell you, I respect the hell out of director Oliver Simonson and the rest for undertaking a volunteer-only passion project for 14 years...but, to use a phrase by the titular character, by Clovis' beard, was this disappointingly below average. As a fan of Cerebus, I didn't like it - it's a faithful adaptation of the first volume, yeah, but that's also one of its big problems since that first volume was, by and large an episodic parody of Conan the Barbarian. It tries to distill that into a singular film and not understanding the concept of adaptation distillation. Not to mention the zero-budget CGI is, minus Cerebus himself, uglier than something like Where the Dead Go to Die; shame too, since there's some amazing (and more befitting) 2D animation sequences in the climax and credits. Voice acting is for the most part - minus Cerebus, Elrod, and Lord Julius - subpar. Plot and characterization is nonsensical as hell.

    All in all, a terrible film with a few good ideas. Cerebus fans will hate it and non fans won't even bother, assuming they know it exists. 2.5/10.
