Blog:Marcianos vs. Mexicanos

Marcianos vs. Mexicanos (in English: Martians vs. Mexicans) is a 2018 Mexican adult animated science-fiction comedy film produced, written, and directed by Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste. The film features the voices of Adal Ramones, Martha Higareda, Omar Chaparro, Angélica Vale, Eduardo Manzano, and Jaime Maussan. Produced by Huevocartoon Producciones (best known for the Huevos franchise), it is the company's first original project as it features an entirely human cast and original story, in contrast to the company's previous productions. The film is aimed at a mature audience.

Plot
A Mexican family was chosen by NASA to head to Mars to stop the Martian King's army from conquering Earth.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To start in, the title sounds generic and forced, as literally tells that it's an obvious typical human VS aliens movie
 * 2) Some character designs look very generic, especially from The Martians. I mean... they are just pink gelatin blobs with 3 eyes, as they are also copies of the Minions from Despicable Me without charisma.
 * 3) It has racist stereotyping for Mexico himself, mainly because in one of the scenes a scientist says that Mexican people are lazy & have cholesterol, as half the time the jokes tries to be offensive for the sake of being offensive.
 * 4) All the main characters are cliched and stereotypical:
 * 5) * El Chacas is the dumb happy-go-lucky guy.
 * 6) * La Zafiro is like those neurotic housewives.
 * 7) * El Chino & El Cubano are the token minorities.
 * 8) * La Niña is the intelligent nerd.
 * 9) * El Frijol & Arroz are the troublemaking twins
 * 10) * Tlacoyito is the stereotypical maid.
 * 11) * Cumbias is the drunk guy.
 * 12) The ending is pretty weird with El Chacas marries The Martians while he is an FREAKING HUMAN MAN IN WHICH HE ALSO HAVE AN WIFE!
 * 13) * By the way, the film also ended on a cliffhanger: in the post-credits scene, the Martian King escapes from Mars so he plans to take over Saturn and ends right here.
 * 14) While the animation is decent and smooth, it looks unfitting intro a Latin-American cartoon as they fit more into an Eastern European cartoon instead, but also some parts of the movie (especially inside the martian palace) has too many dark lights that you can't even make out what you're meant to be looking at!
 * 15) The story feels very rushed.
 * 16) The action scenes look overuse of toilet humor, for example, one scene involving the humans fighting the Martians with farts...

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Passable soundtrack, especially the "Mexico Lindo y Querido" song.
 * 2) Surprisingly smooth animation (despise look unfitting).
 * 3) The Martian King is a very entertaining villain
 * 4) Decent voice acting
