Now having said that, Bachan also keeps the characters grounded in reality outside of the wild times to best convey the expression and emotion of a scene. On the art side of things, Bachan pairs well with the bombastic pace and comedic stylings with an animated look that calls back to the Bill & Ted cartoon. Here, however, Joines really captures the voice of the characters, being able to drop an “egregious” into what would otherwise be a standard “duuude” sort of line that just makes the whole thing click into being brilliant fun. Something common that happens in a lot of scripts where there’s a heavy amount of non-contemporary dialogue, be it in a Victorian setting where there’s a ton of “wut wut, old chap!” or the outdated slang of yesteryear - oh god, does that make this a period piece?!- – it gets overused and a bit suspect on how its used, like a freshman who just learned what a thesaurus was. So them not only showing up, but actually exploring and being a dynamic duo like their kids is just brilliant to read without losing any of the hilarity that a heartfelt reunion could potentially squash.īrian Joines has a natural knack for comedy, given his other work like 7 Guys of Justice or Krampus!, and this is his second Bill & Ted story so there’s no doubt he captures the tone very well. ![]() In their films and the comics, we have seen great romps with Bill and Ted using their metal-stoner zen to carry them through, their fathers’ have been fairly established fixtures in their lives but there has been very little mentioning of their moms, not including Bill’s stepmom who I think has less than a dozen lines throughout the entirety of the franchise before being ousted. That whole plot, in addition to them exploring the universe rather than the timelines is the real buying point for this trade. I didn’t know their moms were Angelica Huston and Agnes Moorehead! BOOM!
