We are so excited to welcome back voice and television actress Brina Palencia, (My Hero Academia, One Piece, Borderlands) who had joined us for our Cocomelon episode. As is tradition, our guests recommend their favorite show and Brina brought us a GEM in Maya and the Three.
Summary
Maya and the Three is a one season Netflix series of nine 30 minute episodes. This animated mesoamerican fantasy-adventure show features fifteen year old warrior princess Maya embarking on a journey to save humanity from some furious underworld gods.
The Noteworthies
Being part Honduran herself, Brina felt excited to see a show that broke away from the Aztec savage warrior trope. This, in addition to the beautiful writing, made for a very emotional viewing for her and the other ladies.
Even the gods in the show see character development, rather than black and white “good vs evil” treatment from show writers.
The moon looks like Jack Skellington. We think it’s intentional. In fact, there are lots of skulls and it makes us happy.
Chimi is played by Stephanie Beatriz, who was Mirabel in Encanto.
Potentially Problematic
Younger children might not be able to follow along with the complex storylines.
Infidelity. Revenge. Death themes. Violence with injury.
Should They Watch It?
Brina: Solid yes
Kara: Absolute yes
Laura: yes
The adults loved it. And the kids did too. We think you and yours will feel the same way!
