oh so Bob admits he has narc tendencies. Interesting. Does he also admit he's a giant walking red flag who will never get his peepee touched because of it?
I have no clue what this is about and do not have the mental reserves to dedicate time to something no one wants to even try to explain.
Ralph Koster is a game designer who was the lead designer of
Ultima Online. His credits also include LegendMUD (a Multi User Dungeon that is played in basically Telnet or a MUD client, it's an entirely text-based game akin to an RPG),
Star Wars Galaxies,
EverQuest II, and a few other things. I think what Koster is trying to say in his tweet is that he's NOT "anti-woke". I have never played any of the games he worked on, nor read his book, but I'm guessing by today's standards those games would not be "woke" (poorly-written and pandery)? But I'm guessing he thinks of himself as a Progressive and thus would be pro-"woke" (pandery at least).
Bob uses a Rick and Morty quote to defend...or attack...something?
I'd say it boils down to "tactics, targets".
Bob tries to impress a dick snipper and admits that he knows how to make bombs.
Making bombs is easy. Bob probably read the Anarchist's Cookbook online or something. However, I call Bullshit on Bob over "vote-shaming". He vote-shames the (R)s CONSTANTLY.
Sam is the retard who wrote Borderlands 3, a game that imo is unplayable because horrific dialogue. He most certainly does not have his writing skill maxed out.
Neither would DEI help him in that regard, as it sure as shit doesn't help Bob.
I will watch them and make note of what retardation is in them probably in a separate post. Until then, enjoy.
Imma do it but only for
Happily Ever After since I've actually fucking seen it before, and Imma sperg because I KNOW Bob will fuck this up. (And yeah for the most part he DID fuck it up). Also because as a lifelong Filmation fan for over 4 decades (I don't count the time I can't remember shit from), I know their stuff backwards and forwards. Bob does not.
NO, BOB. "Happily Ever After" is
NOT "woke Snow White". They didn't change the gender/genderswap an existing villain, they brought in another villain that just happens to be the evil (dead) Queen's bro. Using the pre-existing (male) dwarves would probably had given them even more trouble with Disney than they already got, but hey, at least they didn't outright genderswap the existing Dwarves; they just got new ones and put the Dwarves on a Bus in the next Kingdom over. But calling it "woke" is to misunderstand the entire concept of and PROBLEM with "woke". Hell, Filmation was filled with gay employees and still didn't manage to be "woke" in the stupid way of Current Fucking Year. Whenever Filmation shoehorned messages into their stuff, it was invariably little life lessons children would relate to, not "feel bad about this current year bullshit!"
And YES, Bob. I was FULLY AWARE that This Movie Exists. Holy fuck.
Also:
I have to point out that Bob fundamentally doesn't understand, or
refuses to understand or even grant, the difference between the male and female
psyche. Women are far more likely to use poison rather than direct violence. Men on the other hand, yeah, Bob, they'll beat the fuck out of you. Because they
can. Because y'know, a nonmuscular magical Queen who can only turn into an old woman to sneak fatal fruit into your fruitbowl, CAN'T. So, really, Bob, you're going to complain about a new villain being a dude who DOESN'T turn into an old woman and poison apples (or shit, pears or pineapples) for round 2 and instead turns into a dragon (or wyvern)? Or are you just ashamed that fucking
Filmation understands men and women far better than YOU do?
Sure, the movie's not great but not for the reasons Bob thinks it's "bad". Filmation tends to overuse certain tropes in their work, and this can get very noticeable. I don't think it makes it necessarily
bad-bad, but it does get pretty predictable.
I'm also actually surprised Bob doesn't compare the cursed prince's appearance to Orko. Or maybe he did but had to nix it because Phelous did it.
Bob did kinda get a half-chuckle outta me for his line "Prince Public Domain" although I think he's wrong about the character design of the Prince and Snow-white. Sure, he's discount Prince Adam, but so fucking what? It's FILMATION. And of COURSE the Dwarfelles are mages. That's kinda Filmation's thing. They love to inject Magic into just about everything.
Also, Bob's such a retard that he didn't even comment on the fact that most Filmation properties, INCLUDING THIS ONE, like to do a little lesson in their stories. When they ran He-man, they had a child psychologist on board for consultation purposes. Lou Scheimer's whole deal was to try to make reasonably wholesome messages in the stuff he put out. THAT is why Thunderella's story arc is a thing, and it's absolute malpractice and incompetence on Bob's part that he doesn't even address this.
A choice comment:

this of course is in reference to the "
Chekov's Gun" TV Trope (and no, it has nothing to do with Ensign Pavel Chekov of
Star Trek but rather Anton Chekov, 'master of the short story'). And as "jokes" go, it's not
funny, but it is an accurate statement. Thunderella and her powers are basically a Chekov's Gun. Congratulations, Bob. You've graduated from skimming Wikipedia to skimming TV Tropes.
A bunch of commentators were just slobbering Bob's knob over this, and they totally forgot this existed, therefore the title of Bob's new series is justified! [/sarcasm]
"...basically zero Egyptians in the cast or even Jews which is interesting"
EXCUSE ME?
ZERO JEWS? I BEG YOUR FUCKING PARDON, BOB! Charlton Fucking Heston WAS JEWISH, YOU QUASI-LITERATE WIKIPEDIA SKIMMER!
Moviebob: "I specifically DON'T 'voteshame on Twitter'..."
He's probably trying to claim he doesn't specifically voteshame Leftists, but this is also false anyway.
"A GOOD narrative writer of ANY skin color can write a good character with another skin color, without needing 'consultants'": No lies detected. Good writing appeals across demographics, regardless of the writer's ethnicity.
Bob doesn't understand writing,
period, let alone "good" writing.
