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

What the actual fuck? Wasn't the point of donkey as far back as the original movie to point out how annoying comic relief characters like him are? Shrek himself called him a "dense irritating miniature beast of burden." And not even the sequels were immune from showing how much of a pain in the ass (ha) he is.

I'd say this is like if Disney/pixar gave mater or oalf their own movies...but in some ways they actually did. Well they did mater anyways making him the star of cars 2 and his own series of shorts.
 
The movie has major "we wanted to make the main character a lesbian" vibes radiating off it and your goofy ass is jumping right to pooners in the trees
I didn't sense any lesbian vibes, maybe I'm just dense. I was tense going into the movie worried that it'd be a cash-grab piece of shit with a lot of needless DEI, but I was pleasantly surprised when it was just an okay Inside Out sequel. I thought for sure Riley would have a crush on Val, or she'd get her period, or something else that pushes the envelope, but nope. Riley wants to do well at hockey, develops self-loathing, learns she's more complicated than that, trusts her friends, and comes through the other side emotionally healthy.

The thing I keep thinking about is anxiety being the whole focus of the movie. I feel like in 10 years we're gonna look back at all the TV and movie characters having anxiety attacks as a sign of the times, like "oh my god remember the 2020s when every cartoon was anxious all the time?? Man, we were so stressed out as a society." In 50 years there will be classes on how the cultural anxiety rose through overexposure to Internet/people/information, a worsening political climate, blablabla, and how it affected our media.
 
I watched the whole first season of Batman Animated.

I need to figure out what to watch next. Inside Job, Centaurworld, Twelve Forever, or the 7th and 8th seasons of Voltron?
Batman Beyond should be your next watch or Superman the Animated Series. Both were made by the same people that made BTAS and all three sort of tie a bit together (more so Batman Beyond with BTAS).

He may be a parody of an annoying sidekick character, but despite that, he's likeable on his own. I hold out no hopes for an actual good spinoff, but hey, stranger things.

I've still got two or three seasons of Batman to go before I'm allowed to touch Superman Animated, though.

Watched the first episode of DC Superhero Girls. I felt like my life was in danger from how it felt like violating Global Rule 15 to watch it - that at any moment the Schutzstaffel were going to break into my room and drag me off to get shot for treason against the state. I probably won't watch further, though - not because of the pony thing, but because I'm sick and tired of Grey Delisle and Tara Strong.
