Dora The Explorer

Yes, Dora The Explorer. To me, Dora is a terrible explorer. She relies on our help to... accomplish stuff. She's very ignorant of her surroundings. It's like the malay proverb; "katak di bawah tempurung" which means, a person who is only aware of his/her immediate environment and not much further. Dora is even worse, ignorant of her own surroundings.

Dora's life is very weird. Her best friend is a monkey, she rarely ever goes to school in one of her episodes. All the animals can speak(oh no, we're doomed!). HER BAG AND MAP CAN FUCKING TALK. She has so much freaking time. And despite all that exploring, she's still fat. Where has she been exploring? Has she hiked for kilometres at a time or just hundreds of metres at a time?

And then there's the "Swiper" guy. He looks like one of those old-timey thieves. In case you didn't know, he's a fox. But then Swiper is easily defeated. Just say "Swiper No Swiping!" thrice and you'll defeat him easily. In a few episodes, he becomes nice and joins them, yes. But to be honest, I bet these animals can explore better.


But, there ARE episodes that are interesting and not bad. Sometimes, they're just not good either.

SYAZWAN.
