Cliffside scores a low 2/10 by sticking to classic Western comedy with original characters like Waylon, Jo, and Cordie, delivering bank-robbing action and monster gags free of identity politics or social messaging.
Cliffside is a 2018 single-episode animated Western comedy pilot by Liam Vickers featuring original characters in a monster-infested ghost town setting.
The core premise follows overconfident wannabe outlaw Waylon, his capable but apathetic partner Jo, and the spider-monster Cordie, whose obsessive crush and boundary issues drive comedic action sequences like bank robberies and standoffs with Death itself. Storytelling relies on classic tropes such as the bumbling hero, tomboy gunslinger partner, and cute monster girl archetype, with a spoof moral about manipulation through validation rather than any social commentary. The pilot earns its low score by keeping all elements free of ideological overlay.
Characters are entirely original with no source-material race or gender swaps, and the female action roles arise organically from the Western monster-hunting premise. Cordie operates strictly as a comedic fan-service trope without activist framing, while the absence of any creator statements, dialogue, or plot points touching identity politics, systemic issues, or norm critiques leaves the humor and action unburdened by messaging.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
