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

[Mooger Meng]

It her original design, but slightly modified. Of course, furries still whined and bitched about it because "I can't fap to her bunny tities!".

You speak as if that'll get anywhere close to stopping furries from masturbating.

So context for this new show; it actually started out as a potential pilot for Frederator’s Too Cool Cartoons initiative. In the end, only Bee & PuppyCat was successful while everything ended up failed pilots. Undeterred, the creator made a webcomic from that pilot which was successful enough to become a hardcover graphic novel by Nobrow. Then this would eventually lead to animated adaptation for Netflix that’s due for 2021. It’s almost an inspiring tale for content creators.

Unfortunately, everything I just mentioned is the only interesting part of DeadEndia:

'DeadEndia' Season 1 on Netflix: Everything we Know so Far - What's on Netflix

A new excellent and exciting animated series is on the way to Netflix in 2021! Hamish Steele’s comic book DeadEndia is being adapted into a series for Netflix, and we’ll be covering everything there is...

The fact that it’s promoted and described with the phrases “queer friendly”, “representation”, and “diversity” above everything else tells what you need to know about the comics and animation. It’s even being promoted as a replacement for She-Ra and Steven Universe.

Now you know why its being supported so much, indoctrination. Just slip in some LGBBQ and you'll get awards dropped on you like candy, meanwhile people in the real world (aka NOT in an LA mansion) will only have a tougher life with this stuff dividing up everyone.

Also, the art looks like crap.

It really is sad how this has been so cynically predictable that you can actually make a formula out of it and gain audience of coomers and twitards overnight.

And it’s astounding that going from animation to comic and back to animation didn’t improve the art after all these years. Even more baffling is that it’s being aimed at kids when the comics weren’t very kid friendly to begin with.

I don't mind them making a comic more kid friendly, but in this particular case the motives quite despicable since its likely more indoctrination stuff. Whatever appeases the "equality" organizations that slip them cash or whatever other favors go on behind the scenes.

This is just speculation, but when you look at the entertainment industry you'll see many guilds and what not, many of these guilds (even something as small as the Puppeteers of America with BLM) are in partnerships with various "diversity" movements. You play their game and you'll magically receive positive press, kickbacks, emmy/eisner awards, even little favors under the covers... And of course, most of the industry is in California which is a hotspot for the LGBBQ nonsense.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

No.

Come on. It's one of the best Columbia cartoons.

DeadEndia also describes their bloodline.

I'm just glad they didn't make her a bloated fat dangerhair, or give her the "Ms. Keene treatmeant" and double mastectoming her bust. it looks like she still has something of chest and isn't being made into a girl power/body positivity symbol.

and i say this as someone sick of seeing character designs like these

get touted as "The future of western animation" (whether we like it or not)

I hate what the magical girl genre has done to western animation, or rather how the magical girl genre is poorly aped by western animators.

Between these two pictures, among other examples, modern art styles have gotten more incestuous than an Alabama family reunion.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Wizards (1977), Ralph Bakshi

Also no. Bakshi, honestly, is kinda overrated. I mean, yeah, you can't deny that he's an adult animation pioneer, but at the same time, looking back at his movies today, that's literally all they are - edgy for the sake of being edgy. The only one of his movies that I'd consider decent is Fire and Ice.
And Fritz the Cat but that's only because of how it skewers the proto-SJW culture.

I get that some of this style is used on TV for practicality reasons (easy to draw and animate in Toonboom), but theres no excuse as to why the indie comic scene uses this style so much, let alone an identical color palette of blues, purples, and that off-pink color. It used to be that we mocked anime for all looking the same, now look at what we produce!

Fire and Ice sucks. Fritz is good. So is Heavy Traffic and Coonskin and Wizards and, for that matter, his kids' stuff - Mighty Mouse, Tattertown, Butter Battle Book...

At least anime that looks all the same is visually appealing and not repulsively ugly out of sheer hatred of beauty.

The Christian Conservatives from the 90's won. It just took direct intervention by "liberally minded" far leftists to finally ban female anatomy and depictions of heterosexual sex from western art. The best part is they did it without a hint of irony.

For some reason, dicks, muscled men and gay sex is okay though. I wonder why that is.

I could stack three recent anime and compare them to 5 Western cartoons and I'd find more variety in those three anime, certainly more craftsmanship too. This western SU-gone Avatar look makes me think they're made out of play-doh.
