I guarantee this is ben falling behind and trying to play it off as a joke.
The title, though - does it actually have anything to do with the content of rhe video; or is this Ben/The Grumps low key shade at their critics for being upset withe them over how they handled the previous thumbnail fiasco?
Yes actually, it does have to do with the content of the video, as this was a reupload of the VOD from Arin's Chrono Trigger solo stream.
Oney and Arin met on NG, they were both aspiring animators at the time. Nobody really knows how it ended, but it's speculated it had to do with the whole retarded Dream Daddy fiasco where Ding Dong and Julian ended up getting excommunicated because they spoke up about DD feeling like it's just shallow pandering, and Oney stuck with them over the Gaym Groomps.
This debacle reminds me of when Vizzie Pop was caught tracing anime for Hazbin Hotel and her fans ran to her defense claiming she was “stressed out and in a bad head space.”
call it "hilarious in hindsight", the video was filmed nearly a year before all that weird crap happened at game grumps.
more like excommunigayted haha
When did this happen? I know it's not exactly on topic, but did she literally trace anime or did she just draw too much inspiration from a reference? I have to admit, I feel a little anxious for her, despite the potential her series has I have a caveman-like intuition that there will be a horrific implosion incoming.
Arin's always been a spastic with a massive ego. All that has changed is that he is lazy and complacent due to all the money.
I wouldn't really doubt her inevitable implosion. This is the same chick who after releasing her "pilot", which got over 20 million views with extremely positive audience reaction even by Youtube animation standards (and most importantly loads more patreon gibs), still got absolutely tilted when an ultra small minority of twitter tards criticized her work. She simply doesn't have the will to helm this thing.
Well, L.A. has a way of revealing someone's true character rather than turning them into a monster.
To be entirely honest I really don't understand the adoration for Hazbin/Helluva, both shows came off as pretty unremarkable. Many of the designs feel like regurgitated edgy deviant art/tumblr ocs and the writing felt incredibly forced and lacking wit/sharpness.
I don’t have the actual gif on me, just that comparison image, but the gif itself is more damning, what you don’t see in the image is that the anatomy in motion does not match the body of heady, but syncs up perfectly with the Me Me Me dance, the character’s arms clip through the horns, she’s missing an eye when the character normally doesn’t, and the ears move like the Me Me Me character instead of matching the body. This has never been addressed publicly, but it’s pretty blatant tracing masked as a reference. It was a decent sized controversy that her fans buried by claiming “unless you have 100% proof, it can’t be called tracing”
