But it's not long before Fang and Spear begin to understand one another.Įven though Fang and Spear first stuck together through a mutual desire to stay alive, they overcome their differences and are able to work together to survive and form an emotional connection. This gives the audience some funny moments that will remind dog owners of what it's like to try to eat a meal with a begging dog constantly waiting for their chance to snatch away the food. At first, Fang doesn't understand that Spear needs to eat too, and she can be quite selfish. Primal shows that although two individuals may be completely different, they can bond through their circumstances. There are a lot of comedic moments in Primal because even if Spear spoke some type of language, Fang cannot speak. The show does an excellent job of showcasing its themes of grief and sorrow and how they can be overcome through companionship. So to get an audience to feel compassion for 'The King of Tyrant Lizards' all without any dialogue is an amazing feat.
The name tyrannosaurus literally means "tyrant lizard" in Greek while rex means "king" in Latin.

The way the characters are drawn is very interesting, and fans of Genndy's previous work will get their fix with this action-packed series focused on the animation. Never before has an audience felt so compelled to feel empathy for a usually vicious dinosaur like a tyrannosaurus rex. There is a lot of blood, death, and gore, but because of the style of animation and the color palettes, it is very hard to look away. Primal is a very violent and graphic series. The show is not completely silent, though, as the characters will grunt or scream against a gritty and emotional soundtrack created by Tyler Bates, who has created soundtracks for over 40 shows and movies including the John Wick series. Genndy wanted to showcase his stylistic art over dialogue. It is a very visually pleasing series to look at. The contrast of heavy black in some scenes is very striking. The art is very stylized and has a dramatic color palette.

It is never difficult to tell what the characters are thinking, because their faces are so full of expression. Instead, Primal relies on an artistic narrative shown through the animation. The story exists in a world where language is not developed yet.
There are even some thematic living dead scenes as well as some added magical elements. This is definitely a "buddy love" show, as described by the show creator, and will feature some emotional story beats mixed in with all the gore and violence. The setting combines different prehistoric eras where dinosaurs rule the world, some with a pack mentality. The genre of Primal can be described as a combination of the action, adventure, and horror genres but it also has elements of fantasy. RELATED: Comparing Primal: The Awakening TTRPG's Monsters To Monster Hunter The same dinosaurs who killed Spear's family have also caused the female tyrannosaurus to lose her hatchlings, and so begins their journey of survival together. Fang, the t-rex, and Spear form an unbreakable bond of friendship where they will do anything to keep the other safe in a dangerous and scary world.
Spear has trouble getting out of his depression, but he learns to lean on an unlikely friend. When Spear's family is devoured by a pack of dinosaurs, he becomes suicidal. Primal tells the story of a caveman named Spear and a tyrannosaurus named Fang who bond over some unfortunate events. What makes Primal so unique is its lack of dialogue, meaning anything the story needs to convey is done purely through imagery and sound design. Fans of animation should watch this unique series. Cartoon Network has already given the green light for season 2 expected to release sometime in 2021. Season 1 released on October 8, 2019, and was well received with an audience rating of 8.7/10. Genndy's work includes Dexter's Laboratory, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Samurai Jack among many other titles. Still really really loved it and the humour worked for me.Primal is an animated series created by the Russian-American animator, Genndy Tartakovsky. some unbelievable plot points, people giving a pep talk in the middle of a dino crisis (no pun intended), and then some stuff. This is a kids show afterall though, there are some quite cringe worthy scenes, no new species, many dumb decisions. You can really tell Steven Spielberg had a say in the production of this thing.
There are incredibly thrilling and blood pumping scenes with the Mosasaurus and Pteranodons, the characters are enjoyable, it expands on the lore, it has awesome subtle references, the music is amazing, and gives us a unique and tense Pteranodon theme, the arcs are well plotted, The animation on the dinosaurs is magnificent, the mood of the series is great. And those who thought there was gonna be no tension, no deaths, there will be 'surprises' to say the least. I went in with low expectations since, you know, kiddy show.
