The Nowhere King

So I just watched a..... really strange Netflix show called Centaurworld. (Spoilers)

The opening was really intense and set the scene for great battles to save worlds. (First 4 minutes and 40 seconds of the show).

And then horse falls into another world and spends the next season trying to get back to her Rider. 

You know, I like some weirdness. But this one was too weird for me. I'm not even sure why I kept watching it. Season 1 was filled with bizarre creatures that have conversations with their own farts, and so on. There were important messages in it, but it was hard to take some of them seriously. The "Taurnado" song was really cool (And "Where does Food Come From" got stuck in my head for far too long). During this season, Horse goes from being a powerful warhorse to a "wibbly wobbly" cartoony horse. 

 At the end of season 1 (Episode 9 starting at 14:10) Horse finally makes it back to rider. And then follows a truly touching reunion.

Then the villain appears. 

And man, this is one freaky monster. And the song. It's brilliantly creepy. The melody is so lovely. But the words are so dark, and the music box background is off-key and sets your teeth on edge. 

Ooh, shivers. Awesome. 

Horse and Rider escape, and there's another season where humans and centaurs building their forces to fight the Nowhere King. Man, it twas so cringy that they just left that knife in Stabby's back the whole time. Yeah he had been a monster, but still. (And is Becky Apples going to become wibbly wobbly too if she stays in Centaurworld?)

Then in the last episode, we find out where the Nowhere King came from. It was awesome.

The elktaur is so normal looking compared to the other centaurs (though I like the designs for Wammawink and Zulius). I love watching his animation. He's both cute (his front half) and elegant (his elk half), even though he doesn't seem to see any of his own good sides.  Did he saw off his own antlers to look more normal? Elk do shed their antlers, but it doesn't seem that's what happened this time. 

Anyway, the Nowhere King's back story was really impressive. I was glad I watched through the show, just to see the monster and his origin.
