The Awesomes "No Mo' Sumo" (S01E04): Welcome back everybody! Yet another episode recap is on the
way. Today’s recap is for episode 4, “No Mo’ Sumo.”
Picking up directly from where episode 3 left off, Tim’s
parents are trying to take him away from the team. Apparently they are former
mercenaries who’ve had their secret identities compromised, and therefore have
put their son in danger. They want to take him away and start over once more to
keep him safe. ….. wait ….. what?

So Tim’s parents were mercenaries, can kick major butt, and
aren’t native Japanese. They worked together as a team codenamed: Dine and
Dash. (Cute team name) One of the villain teams they stole from, The IT
Department, repeatedly tracks them down during the episode to exact their
revenge. (Or fail repeatedly to do so.)
The Awesomes take it upon themselves to try and help Tim’s
family to assume new lives. In order to do that they need to find U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A.,
a secret organization that specializes in changing identities, through a very
elaborate series of fetch quests. It’s a typical cartoon plot that’s been done
a thousand times. Sadly, there is nothing too fresh here to mention
specifically as a stand out funny moment.
In the end, Tim proves himself as capable of handling
threats because of his superpower. He fights in an arena for the Invisible Hand
of the Floating Glove, against a Cyclops gorilla monster or something. This
impresses his parents and sets off the chain of fetch quests culminating in
reaching U.M.B.R.E.L.L.A. and Tim’s parents getting their new identities. Tim
stays behind to continue with The Awesomes, which is good because I did NOT
want them to start looking for another teammate again.
The final scene setting up episode 5 begins with the IT
Department tracking down the team once again. Because of a crossing of the
streams (Thanks, Ghostbusters) The
Awesomes are transported to another dimension or timeline where there is a
group of their doppelgangers floating overhead. They don’t really fill us in on
any more than that.
Not a lot of “Awesomeness” in this one, guys. What few
fights there were are short and uneventful. I am intrigued by the cliffhanger,
though. What do you think? Are The Awesomes on another planet, or a different
dimension, or an alternate timeline? And what about their alternate personas;
heroes or villains? Leave your comments below and I’ll check back on you. Until
next time, be awesome!
