Netflix can you stop ruining my childhood for 5 minutes ?!
So anyways the Winx Club Live-action reboot was realased and...everyone was accusing for whitewashing
This picture sparks so many questions.

Why do they all look like depressed 30 year olds who write for buzzfeed? Why is my homegirl Flora an oversized thumb? Why is Aisha, known tomboy, wearing a skirt and leather boots instead of athlesuire? Why is Bloom wearing red? Where the hell is Techna?
 
As a self taught artist, this is pretty accurate. Even though I took art classes, they were a MAJOR waste of years in my life because they taught how to imitate other artists rather than useful information like life drawing, colour theory and such.
I'm not sure if these artists have had similar experiences or didn't take art classes at all but their self-taught status is obvious because the anatomy in their drawings show they've not heard of "learn the rules before you break them". That's a very common thing for professional artists to say when teaching people.
A little late, but whatever. I would wager a lot of the self-taught artists on Twitter have a similar experience learning their fundamentals; they were kids who already liked drawing and took their high school's art class in the hopes of getting better at drawing cartoons. Then some wageslave stooge of a teacher had them draw still lives of random shit lying around the classroom because it meets the state's fine art education guidelines. They weren't told why they did anything or how it would help them eventually draw what they were passionate about, got moved right along through different materials never working in them long enough to gain a mastery of them, and got scolded endlessly by some bitter old crone with 2 eggs left the entire time, so the work they produced ended up shit by fine art standards and boring/uninspiring by their own personal standards.

So "fundamentals" in their world came to mean "boring lame art you see hanging in mortuaries made by people who follow random steps because the state says so." Then they see all the exciting things online done by people who share their interests and suddenly it feels like they've been released from prison and they can finally be free!! No more drawing gradation scales and color wheels and thumbnails without understanding why, because "pfft those don't have anything to do with anime," now they can finally draw what they want to!!!

Is it any wonder they don't want to improve?

Everytime I read something like this I feel lucky to have had a high school art teacher who actually enjoyed his fucking job and had us experiment and actually explained why we had to do the gradation shades.

^ cute, but apparently this is like a 50s AU so what's with the NB stuff?
There's loads of animaniacs stuff out there, for some reason everyone headcanons Wakko as NB and acts like it's canon
This is why we shouldn't reboot shit anymore these headcannon's make no sense I absolutely hate it when people project themselves onto characters why would the Animaniac's be trans or non-binary for?
 
Reboots are honestly very unnecessary imo, just watch the original show for gods sake.
This is like the one thing that the #bettercartoon thing said was that we don't need a reboot of (in that case, ren and stimpy) when there are tons of ideas already OUT there that could be made. Why is everything just reboots, remakes, and sequels now anyway? What happened? Did the writer's strike like destroy all of Hollywood or something??

To be honest, yeah majority of reboots are trash (Monster High Michael bay TMNT, 2009 liveaction DragonBall, ATLA movie, 2016 Ghostbusters),but sometimes we have a really good (Ducktales, A Star is Born from 2018 is really cool movie 2012's TMNT, First seasons of 2016 Voltron, Shera has a really good reviews)

I guess it's just the easier way to tap into a market that's already there. Why bother creating a new universe with its set of rules, an intrigue, and a cast of interesting characters, when you can take something that's already there with an established fanbase and market it as the new iteration of that show you liked as a kid?

I think Hollywood make now mainly the reboots/prequels/sequels, because the original was good and more people will come to cinema/pay subscription for movie which they know and love, because for them remake would be a lower disapoitment, than a orignal and fresh production and guaranteed money for producers
