The Four Penguins, who thought they would not have a sequel, have made a comeback

When I was in high school, the spin-off animation series of Penguins of Madagascar was just born. I stayed up all night and even watched three seasons all night. There are only 31 episodes left in the third season. At that time, after watching it, I felt that since the third season was already so few, there should be no more sequels. It was a little surprise that the movie version came out more than two years later.
A friend accidentally mentioned this movie while chatting with me, saying that these penguins look the same, I snickered, a former brain-crazy fan like me, of course, can distinguish them clearly: the flat-headed, pretentious leader Skipper , Kowalski, a scientist who is proficient in various scientific knowledge and technologies, crazy Rico who can handle all kinds of equipment, and Private who is positioned as a cute character by Skipper. Of course, he has always wanted to prove that he is not just cute in the team.
In the movie, King Julian and his little sidekicks, the super annoying penguin, turned into a big battle with the octopus led by the special attack team led by the dubbing of Fu. The octopus was discriminated against because of being ugly, so he took revenge on the cute penguin. As me, who is also ugly and glass-hearted, and has also suffered discrimination, these plots will of course resonate with me. Maybe I will suffer more discrimination in this face-seeking society in the future, but I am a glass-hearted, sensitive and inferior, habitually blaming myself for everything, so that I can't control myself and self-harm. .
It seems that the idea of ​​octopus making Medusa serum to turn penguins into monsters to destroy the world is very similar to the idea of ​​​​turning minions into monsters in Despicable Me2. Perhaps this may have been the general idea of ​​American hero films. Or in the future, American heroes are still saving the world, but the (screenwriter) bad guys will come up with more ways to destroy the world - of course, ignore the details

    Dave: The humans know me as Doctor Octavius Brine, renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives... but you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you hoped you'd never hear again. A PHANTOM! A shadow of a former life! I... AM...
