Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Mindy Kaling 100 percent cares if you're mad. She wants you to be mad. Because identity politics as advertising worked out so well for Ghostbusters and Harley Quinn.
This does not look good for Velma. She's been Tumblrized! Damn that male-hating bitch Mindy Kaling!

Like...is it possible to maybe do a reboot of a show based on a children's property without graphic violence? I know Hollywood is just conditioning people so they're less shocked when they end up in Armie Hammer's fridge but still. It's like...children will see a version of Scooby Doo, might go looking for more and then see something with a de-brained corpse.

You know I'm not sure that's not just the idea nowadays. "There's a children's property. Kids have pretty much unrestricted internet and streaming service access...why don't we use that as a way to desensitize them to depravity? We can use the excuse of 'it's ackshyually made for adults'...and blame the clueless parents that are working two jobs just to make a house payment when kids are exposed to it."

Kaling's career has been very weird. I’m not sure she’s ever played a likable character but she keeps getting equally born-to-fail projects.

Honestly this whole "cartoons aimed at adults" skeeves me out. I'm not talking about shows like South Park, this stuff where kiddie cartoons from decades past are remade as constant fourth-wall busting yuk-yuk festivals created by animators who can't even draw, or trashy sex-farces with graphic violence is different, it's gross.

Tbh I wouldn't even find this particular racebend offensive. It's the attitude of the creator that makes it obvious it's going to be shit.
The saddest part of all this, knowing this was what they probably wanted for years and now it happened.
A Velma side series could be strong. This is more of a Monkey's Paw wish fulfillment, though.
Loved how original and unique the premise of her last show was: "it's a show about a single woman - but get this, she lives in New York City!"
There hasn't been a single decent high concept "it's X but in Y" since Outland was High Noon but in SPAAAAAAAACE.

I can only recall a few times where a children’s animated franchise turned adult has worked, barring ones based on capeshit properties. Space Ghost and Samurai Jack are basically the gold standards for this as they found ways to fit the originals to the new setting be it parody, or going more violent.
 
Remember Young Justice?

As of today's episode Halo is a Non- binary, muslim, lesbian and her pronouns are They/Them.

No, I am not kidding.

I thought Islam was against gay people? She went from being a cute blond in the comics to "virtue signaling" the character.

I don't mind gay, muslim characters, or whatever, I am just tired of all the woke garbage propaganda straight out of twitter.

It is all so tiresome
It's so tiresome that it's not even worth getting angry over anymore. First of all because it's it's the same song and dance with these people and it's shown that getting MATI does next to nothing in the long run, and secondly as mindy said that's exactly what they want.
They want people angry about the changes made to these characters and they want to see complians about them because then it just ends up validating their points.




Look at the backlash Santa inc got. Before they disabled the comments on the trailer for that show they were quoting the most hateful, salty. And anti Semitic ones they could cherry pick. (many of which were troll comments anyway) and used it to reinforce the argument that anyone who criticized the show only did so because they were alt right stormfronters or q anon apologists.


So tldr version, this show and any others like it that are waiting to pass through the animation pipeline arent worth any attention anymore, neither in anger or disdain they deserve only one's indifference at best.

Apparently it is now connected to the Green Lantern animated series from 2011. Razer is now a character in Young Justice.
 
I know we are shitting on Velma now, but I just got a FaceBook notification and want to take a second to wish Shrek a happy anniversary. The series is officially 21 years old.

Cheers!

Yeah for good and for bad it's surprising Shrek of all things became the face of dreamworks for so many years, it's hard to say if he's the company equivalent to Mickey Mouse but at one time he sure was. Right on down to being an iconic character of an animation studio recognized almost entirely by the shape of his head and ears.

Shame the big green guy is mostly known nowadays through internet meme culture and cursed images.... Plus one cameo in Mike Myers new Netflix show.

The only consolation is that they clearly were aiming for this to be a trending topic on twitter, with people praising them for being so "brave" and "progressive", and instead, nobody cares.

I have seen some videos pop up about how the show went downhill, but that is about it. People spent years petition to get the series back, only for nobody to care once it did. YJ is too convoluted for its own good. It wants to be a DC Universe series and keeps throwing in character and plot point after character and plot point till the show has no real focus.

How can you be lesbian and non-binary? A lesbian has to be a woman.

No, you're right. Islam is very anti-LGBT and tends to agree with Judaism in Muslims getting married and having children. When it comes to the West both "progressive Muslims" (Yes, they exist) and SJW tend to want to portray Islam as exotic and something desirable. But when you scratch the surface the majority of Muslims would be categorize with the Christian right.
 
Velma fetishists fans have always claimed the rest of the gang dragged her down and she'd be better off without them. Wish granted you fucks.
Most modern Velma fans who aren't straight male coomers are tumblr lesbo coomers who've been projecting onto her Mystery Inc incarnation ever since one of the writers came out and claimed she was totally a lesbo the entire time even though she was with Shaggy for a decent amount of the show, and he dumped her because Scooby kept getting in between him and her.

Now she's always been some closeted brave individualistic genius or whatever Tumblr wants her to be, despite this vanity project being the first time Velma will ever show any interest in a woman.

And then it ended up an absolute one star failure and was shitcanned by HBO. Go woke, go something?

Who cares about that though? James Gunn claims he tried to make her a lesbo a couple decades ago, but the Hollywood Jews wouldn't allow it, he is probably lying.
 
Does anyone know for sure if bonkers was originally pitched as an animated spin-off to Rodger rabbit? I've heard it was originally meant to be one but since Rodger is owned by amblin and there's something of a joint custody between Warner and Disney they couldn't get the rights to the characters so they recycled the concept into bonkers?

Also speaking of that show I could have sworn bonkers was voiced by Tom Kenny and lucky by Jim Cummings, which would have been the mother of all coincidences considering those two WOULD work together on catdog five years later, but no Jim did both bonkers and Lucky.

It was not.

Funny how things like that end up isn't it? For example did you ever wonder why goof troop is called that? Well early in one production the idea was the show would be about goofy being the scoutmaster of a scout troop AMD it would have been more in line with the older goofy cartoons where he was more an Everyman that dealt with goofy situations.


But because the Simpsons and home improvement... Really a slew of sitcoms were on the rise at the time it got reformatted into an animated sitcom, but they never bothered to change the title.
