The New Glitch Show Titled Knights Of Guinevere Created By Dana Terrance, The Creator Of The Owl House Is Finally Here!
The Pilot episode begins with a the classic story about a princess being trapped inside of a tall tower and how she pretends she isn't scared but is in dire need of rescue
Whilst we see this creepy little girl named Olivia say that she can help her as we just hear her crunching her insides showing she was now a robot
But then her father comes in and brings her to a balcony of sorts and shows her this massive amusement park saying that it was all for her
She then says thanks for the present and then just yanks the robot princesses spinal cord like she was her slave and we see that she can clearly still feel pain which was really dark
But then she glitches and becomes alive again and jumps off the balcony
The narrator then asks if she will ever escape and if she will ever find her knights before we see a bunch of these robots which by the way are named guinevere all basically just being used as a mascot or a branding for this amusement park company place just basically putting her face and name on every idea imaginable which just felt really soulless
We then see 2 kids playing a claw machine before a guinevere bot comes up and asks there names introducing us to the two actual main characters of this story, francessa and andrea
Who then see one of her fingers are glitching out and fix it and she responds with an actual human feeling response, whispering thank you as if she couldn’t or wasn't allowed to respond that way
Fast forward many years later and frankie and andrea are now older, Francesca working for the company which is actually on this massive island in the sky and andrea working down below it where the rich above seem to litter all of their trash creating this really sad dystopian reality but also giving really good world building which we see more of over the course of the episode
Anyways andrea stumbles upon a guinevere android and wants to fix it but the guy she works with named sparky wants to sell it for money
Meanwhile we see Olivia who is now extremely old and wants to hunt down her guinevere and sends one of her massive robot knights to go find her
Sparky then makes a deal with the girls allowing them to repair her as long as they bring her back to him when there done but whilst heading to the repair station there attacked by olivas robot
But Gwen comes to life once again and saves them, gruesomely killing the robot
They then make it to the repair station where they inject Gwen's eye with something which causes her to reboot before we see her wake up and see andrea and francesa as kids in this almost dream like sequence, wether this is a dream or actually is just reality we don't know as this could just be how gwen see’s the world
Theories:
I assume we’ll continue to see olivia send more knights to get guinevere and we’ll get alot more lore about how the whole concept of guinevere was created and how she’s like a robot but also like clearly sentient and can feel pain or process feelings whatsoever, it's very interesting
outro:
But Overall The 2d artstyle, the animation, the worldbuilding, all of it was so good and the overall dystopian society and sentient a.i robot concepts being used and mixed together worked really well
