Hot Take: Kid vs. Kat's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of Kid vs. Kat and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Kid vs. Kat is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, Kid vs. Kat would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Kid vs. Kat actually is?

Everyone praising the Kid vs. Kat performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Kid vs. Kat?

Look, I wanted to love Kid vs. Kat. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
