I just think Carnage Returns and Carnival of Carnage are two totally different type of shows. Carnival had more of a storyline and interplay between the characters whereas Carnage Returns is more about Jack and Chance and being a huge show and about the kills. It is the biggest show they have ever done. I think it has gotten better since Team Member preview. It feels like a tighter show because there were some parts that dragged the first night. It is different than Carnival and each has their own moments. If anything I think the only screw up HHN did this year is not having any Chance merchandise. I don't know if they realize how popular she has become.

I hate to say it but this years show is weak. I have seen it 5 times now with different people and everyone's reaction is it's just not as good as last years. There are references(Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Empire, Bob's Burgers) that many people don't get. Kanye as a villain is really only a one-note joke and just gets old. There are so many jokes that fall flat. However, the opening is awesome, some great Disney jokes as usual, the cast always brings it at every performance, the dance sequences are always great and high energy. It just doesn't click on all cylinders like last year's show. Which sucks because Bill and Ted is probably the thing I look forward to the most at HHN.
