What if the Gumazing Gum Girl debuted in the 1960s/Why it Sucks or Rocks

Stage Mom (2001)

 * 1) Very weak and clichéd plot that is easily predictable and forgettable.
 * 2) The premise is pretty dumb; Dogs are portrayed as secret agents, cats are portrayed as terrorists and that they all hated each other since Egyptian times.
 * 3) Almost all the dogs in this movie look poorly trained and constantly distracted by whatever they see.
 * 4) Poor acting from the human actors.
 * 5) Overuse of pointless fast forwarding effects.
 * 6) Unfunny jokes and gross-out humor (e.g. poop jokes and fart jokes).
 * 7) Wasted talent of Jeff Goldblum.

Rico: The Curse of the Franken-Gum-Wad (2004)

 * 1) Excessive amount of fart and burp jokes, though there are nowhere nearly as many as there were in the first film.
 * 2) The plot is confusing.
 * 3) Alicia Silverstone's performance as Heather Jasper Howe is incredibly bad.
 * 4) It's far too easy to figure out who the villain is. Mostly because of Alicia Silverstone's poor acting to try and look innocent, and the film tries way too hard to make it look like her character isn't the villain by making the characters portrayed by Seth Green and Peter Boyle look way too suspicious.
 * 5) Laughable and forgettable dialogue.
 * 6) The villains don't come off as scary and come off as lame and pointless.
 * 7) The non-toilet humor isn't amusing either.
 * 8) It isn't even scary.

The Tale of Ravi Rodriguez (2007)

 * 1) Lots of adult humor in a family film.
 * 2) Too much pop-culture references and product placement.
 * 3) Wasted talents, including Jason Lee and David Cross.
 * 4) Unfunny and gross humor like in a scene where Voodoo eats Yoodoo's feces, thinking they were raisins. (Although Voodoo was forced to eat the poop by Ravi to prove to him it wasn’t poop at all, which is just as gross).
 * 5) A few of the characters aren't portrayed all that good compared to the source material, like Mr. Rodriguez for being portrayed as rather unlikable, and Ravi not having much of a personality.
 * 6) It is insulting to the source material.
 * 7) Ravi, Voodoo, and Yoodoo sing covers of songs that were popular in the 2000s which seem like rip-offs instead of original songs in the film.

Wanted Dead or Alive: A Rico Gomez Movie

 * 1) The film lacks the charm of the first two because almost every joke is incredibly tasteless and not even funny, like when Rico accidentally puts his sword into a guy's shoulder while practicing knighting.
 * 2) Speaking of which, there’s a surprisingly large kill-count in a kids film - such as a scene when Rico accidentally sinks a ship which ended up killing dozens of people, King Max’s on-screen death and Prince Charming’s demise at the end of the film when a tower fell on him.
 * 3) The characters barely contribute anything to the plot, making them pointless.
 * 4) Even though the first two acts have their moments, the third act falls to a predictable and unfunny finale.
 * 5) On a related topic, if you look closely at some of the film's promotional posters and trailers, they show the ogre babies, spoiling the ending.
 * 6) Everyone appears flanderized and they don't act how they usually did in the first two films.
 * 7) Very tasteless death scene with King Max; he does TWO death fake-outs.
 * 8) While Prince Charming is the antagonist of the film, he’s basically treated as the film’s “punching bag” which makes you feel a bit of sympathy for him.
 * 9) On that topic, it feels lazy recycling a previous villain in another film, as Charming is not as intimidating or entertaining as Robo-Chef, the Fairy Godmother or The evil lady.
 * 10) The pace is very inconsistent.
 * 11) Mr. and Mrs. Gomez's children add absolutely nothing to the story other than being a typical "happy ending" for our main characters.
 * 12) Several plot holes, such as how Prince Charming is able to roam free after the events of the previous films.
 * 13) A majority of the jokes are very unfunny, especially the infamous "Well somebody better be dying." line before smash-cutting to King Max on his death bed.
 * 14) The baby dream sequence Rico is too frightening for a kids movie, especially that part where the gum baby-faced Ninja-Rina says "Dada!".

Who Censored Mr. Hansen? (2009)

 * 1) Like The Tale of Ravi Rodriguez, the film still has lots of adult humor despite being a family film.
 * 2) Too much pop culture references and product placement.
 * 3) Uncannily-animated special effects.
 * 4) It is insulting to the source material.
 * 5) Had some jokes only the business industry would understand, like Hoodoo telling Ian, “In the words of the Donald Duck, you're fired" (this was before he became POTUS).
 * 6) At the airport, Tobby Garcia makes his grandma in a wheelchair fall down the stairs, That probably explains why he only cares about video games.

Ninja-Rina: The 12 Princesses (2010)

 * 1) The plot basically just recycles and copies most of the stuff from the first film, along with ripping-off It's a Wonderful Life, Barbie: The 12 Dancing Princesses, Back to the Future and Disney’s The Little Mermaid.
 * 2) The idea of adding in more princesses just makes Ninja-Rina less of a special kind of character.
 * 3) The evil lord’s plan to kill Genevieve (portrayed by Ninja-Rina) and 11 other princesses from existence is quite dark for a kids' film.
 * 4) Rumpelstiltskin's voice is very cringe worthy to listen to.
 * 5) Like Wanted Dead or Alive: A Rico Gomez Movie, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez’s babies add absolutely nothing to the plot other than just being a typical “happy ending”.
 * 6) Very inappropriate dialogue like "I'm being ass-napped!" and the infamous "My gum superhero creature fell in your waffle hole" line.
 * 7) Unexplained plot holes: If Genevieve (Ninja-Rina) were able to get her life back and had never met all the other ogres, then why do they all appear at the end of the film?
 * 8) The characters are more flanderized and unlikable, especially Ninja-Rina herself.
 * 9) Some of the jokes are a bit cruel, like the one where Genevieve (Ninja-Rina) tries to ask Ginger Chef where the evil lord is right after Gabby EATS HIM.
 * 10) * On the topic of this, some jokes also make no sense like the one where Genevieve (Ninja-Rina) wanted to tell Rumpelstiltskin to take away the day she met Gabby.
 * 11) Totally ignores the events from Wanted Dead or Alive: A Rico Gomez Movie. On top of this, neither Arthur Pendragon or Merlin make an appearance.
 * 12) The baby cries are EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
 * 13) The song "Happy Birthday Bash" is way too fast.
 * 14) Yet another high kill count in this film, like when an evil lord throws water into a lady's face, thus causing her to melt, and when the Queen (Stage Mom) uses her powerful singing to blow up the bird at the end.
 * 15) Everyone is irritating, as they start worshipping Genevieve, loudly talking to him all at once and constantly bothering him all at the same time.
 * 16) Bizarre writing.
 * 17) Often reliant on gross-out humor.
 * 18) Horrid pacing.
 * 19) Overuse of movie clichés.
 * 20) The very VERY infamous "roar" scene.

Rico: The New Bubblegum Hero (2011)

 * 1) Poor attempts at humor.
 * 2) False advertising; instead of being focused on the Gum Girl characters, the film mainly focuses on Kenn Navarro's character, who is an advertising executive coming to grips with being a father.
 * 3) Shameless product placements such as a quick cameo of Guitar Hero.
 * 4) The film's premise rips off of various films, most notably Enchanted and Masters of the Universe.
 * 5) Numerous plot holes
 * 6) * Dr. Gomez being afraid of onions for some unexplained reason.
 * 7) * Gabby being more surprised at the fact that the female character is wearing different clothes other than her being pregnant.
 * 8) * When the Gomez family find a book of themselves in the library and finding Steve Ditko (The creator of The Gumazing Gum Girl! comics), so Ditko wrote a book of fictional superhero creatures, yet they exist in this film.
 * 9) * Dr. Gomez destroys Evil Aztec's dragon wand and threw it in a lake, but in the mid-credits scene, Evil Aztec's still has the wand unbroken.
 * 10) An infamous scene where Evil Aztec urinates in a bucket.
 * 11) The "Daydreaming" song is super annoying and it can get on your nerves; they never stop singing it and they hum which is also annoying and Kenn Navarro’s character was right - it can get a tiny bit annoying. He tries to tell them but they ignore him except for Mr. Hansen which is mean-spirited.
 * 12) The sequel that followed it is far less accurate to the source material.

Malik and Maria: The Movie (2012)

 * 1) It recycles most of the material it has from A Ninja-Rina Movie.
 * 2) All of the adolescent characters are portrayed as cocky, popular-teenager stereotypes.
 * 3) A pointless blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-scene of Weasel from Ravi and the Time Machine, when Voodoo, Yoodoo, Hoodoo, and Woodoo are falling through the earth.
 * 4) Several of the characters never got a proper introduction of how they became a part of the characters lives.
 * 5) Some of the humor can seem forced and nonsensical, like one hypocritical joke about humans dying and another human claiming it as a ”double burn”.
 * 6) The film can run on several amounts of mean-spiritedness most of the time, like how Malik’s actual family, who are unlikable and pointless, abandon him and his grandma because they’re screw ups & “dead weights” and how Gabby is bullied by Natalie at the beginning of the film.
 * 7) Voodoo, Yoodoo, Hoodoo, and Woodoo's slapstick gag of failing to get their nut went from funny to causing more conflict and chaos for our main characters. Which makes Them the villain rather than Captain Gutt.
 * 8) The humor in this film made the franchise lose it‘s way as it relies on humor from the 2010s generation.
 * 9) * On that topic, this film goes full fantasy with some of it’s scenes, like the ending scene with Dollantis.
 * 10) A few moments can portray as nothing but being filler, like the one with sirens trying to attract the Herd, heck it can even be an excuse to foreshadow the villains defeat.
 * 11) Overuse of movie clichés we’ve seen several times in other films.
 * 12) The scene where Malik and Maria kiss is disturbing and unneeded.

Rico: Sticking Himself to Crime (2013)

 * 1) This movie is far less faithful to the source material that what made _ good, not to mention that they are barely even any __ making full appearances throughout the whole movie, but unlike the first film, it is set in __.
 * 2) Once again, it wastes the talents of Hank Azaria, Kenn Navarro, Aubrey Ankum, Rhode Montijo (the creator of The Gumazing Gum Girl chapter book reboot series), etc.
 * 3) Blue, while cute, is annoying and has an extremely cringe-worthy voice. Aside from that, he contributed absolutely nothing to the plot whatsoever other than to state the obvious of what's happening through the majority of the film.
 * 4) Mat of the plot is recycled from the first film, which was already a terrible film.
 * 5) Poor attempts at humor.
 * 6) Hank Azaria is no longer hilarious as Evil Aztec anyone.
 * 7) Patrick Winslow is extremely unlikeable in this movie and his reason for hating his step-father is completely unjustified and pathetic.
 * 8) A pointless side-plot of the guy turning into a duck by Evil Aztec.
 * 9) This film is extremely mean-spirited; the Gomez Family act like total jerks to Gabby.
 * 10) It overuses pop culture songs like Vacatio.
 * 11) There's little to no character development for majority of the characters, mainly from the Goopies who never really got a proper introduction.
 * 12) Just like the first film, there's a lot of product placement.
