Blog:Modern Monster School (2017-2019)

Monster School is a Youtube series centring about a class of Minecraft's monsters going to their school to learn various subjects with Herobrine as the teacher. It was originally started by Willcraft Animation in 2012, and by the time of 2017-2019, the series suddenly gained multiple animations based on it by other Youtube users.

Why They Suck Now

 * 1) The majority of these videos are largely cringe-worthy and sloppily-made.
 * 2) While the original series itself is largely family-friendly (obviously due to the fact that Minecraft is game enjoyed by all ages), many animations based on it are disguised to be kid-friendly and contains many inappropriate topics such as swearing, excessive gore and violence, graphic depictions of death, suicide, and murder, gratuitous sexual and pornographic content, crude toilet humour involving faecal matter, and more.  Keep in mind that it's all coming from a series about Minecraft mobs learning things in school.
 * 3) Poor grasp of its original source material.
 * 4) Unfunny humour.
 * 5) The main characters, which consists of various Minecraft monsters such as the Creeper, Zombie, Ghast, Skeleton, Zombie Pigman, Wither Skeleton, and Enderman, ranges from being annoyingly obnoxious and mean-spirited, to disgusting, edgy and perverted as they always get horny every time when each of them sees sexy-looking women with large breasts in some of the videos. Most of the characters are also bland, one-dimensional, and lacks any defining traits and personalities to make them stands out from another, unlike those from the original Willcraft's version.
 * 6) * In fact, the only character that has a defining trait in these animations is the Wither Skeleton, who is an overpowered "Mary Sue"-type character due to the fact that he always warps reality by hacking to solve problems throughout the videos.
 * 7) * The only closest thing we get to a character in these videos that are likeable in some way or another is Herobrine (the teacher) himself, whom, for some reason keeps getting abused and unfairly mistreated by some of the characters for absolutely no reason.
 * 8) Some monsters from the original series, such as the Spider, Witch, Blaze, and the Wither, doesn't make an appearance in these animations for some unknown reasons.
 * 9) Most of these videos feature some recurring characters from other games that don't have anything to with Minecraft in general, such as Granny, Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics, Slendrina, and Baldi from Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning.
 * 10) Very mediocre animation.
 * 11) It features some highly nonsensical filler scenes that drag on for way too long.
 * 12) The pacing and the plot of each of these videos can get repetitive and boring.
 * 13) Almost every single titles are written in broken English as they usually have poor grammar and always use full caps.
 * 14) Overuses stock sound effects even at times when it's not necessary to use them, such as meme sounds and X-Files theme.
 * 15) The gross-out content can sometimes be considered to be way too extreme to the point it becomes rather nauseating and disturbing. In one video, the Enderman and the Skeleton has a fidget spinner stuck on his dick. Another video even shows either the monsters watching naked women stripping their bikinis and/or doing some sexual acts in front of them, characters getting pregnant or having sex with another character, and Zombie pooping in front of Baldi in the toilet! Yes, we are not joking! Just look it up at your own risk!
 * 16) * Some of the videos' thumbnail shows a Five Nights at Freddy's character performing an operation on an Ender Dragon rather unprofessionally... with blood all over.
 * 17) The students barely learn any proper school lessons in their school and most of the things they learn is just doing random stupid things that don't even qualify as school lessons! Who the heck learns about surviving a game such as Granny or escaping a prison?!
 * 18) The videos like to cash in on overused trends and memes to desperately stay "cool", "hip" and "with it", such as bottle-flipping, Five Nights at Freddy's, the controversial "Momo" challenge, app game challenges, Fortnite, "Look at this dude" memes, and fidget spinners.
 * 19) The comment section of these videos doesn't make any sense as it's filled with spammy comments consisting of broken English, gibberish words, and emojis.
 * 20) It gave the original web-series from Willcraft Animations a bad name.
 * 21) Even though some of these videos got taken down by Youtube for violating their guidelines, most even managed to not get deleted yet!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Thankfully, Youtube has already attempted to clean up the majority of the more inappropriate animations in 2020 thanks to Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
 * 2) Decent soundtrack.
 * 3) The idea was simple, yet interesting.
 * 4) The original 2012 Monster School from Willcraft Animations were actually great.
