Wait, I thought it was universally known that NGE was pretentious shit even before Hideki came out an told everyone. There was like maybe a small number of dumbasses who thought this shit was deep, an I have met some of these clowns, but the rest called it bullshit from the start.

Real talk fam: I'm of the opinion that NGE is over hyped, beautiful looking garbage with some nice set pieces. It was made by a bright guy, Hideaki Anno, who went cuckoo bonkers during the development of NGE, partially because of reeeeing weebs who were angry at him for what he did in their beloved animu. It was so bad that he included irl shots of the vandalism of his studio in the last movie. If I remember correctly, and it's super hard to find it now with the Netflix release out now, the weebs were angry because he ruined this awesome, deep show that was gushing with artistic subtext and symbolism. IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT DAMMIT! The kicker? All that Christianity and Bible stuff in the show was in there because Hideaki thought it looked/sounded cool. Nothing more. Nothing less. If you'll follow me, it's like Dark Souls. Dark Souls was based on it's director reading western fantasy novels and not understanding most of it. Hideaki isn't Christian, he just kinda knows about it. The two took elements from a different culture that they sorta, kinda comprehended and made an interesting work of art that's only as deep as a weeaboo sped wishes it too be.



Now that NGE is back in the public eye, we get to suffer through hot take after hot take about a project that made it's director start to despise it's fan base. At least with Bob we call all laugh at him together.

I am not familiar with the mecha genre but the metaphor confuses me since he thinks "Watchmen ruined comics before I ever cared about them but it's okay because Hollywood made a few movies I like" is anything other than some "normie" take by someone who thinks every medium is the same. It must be worse for a master of all like Bob to comphrend his comparison.

It's not 1992 anymore with a billion edgy superhero takes and I imagine mecha anime similarly got over whatever batch of NGE clones they might of existed decades before "MCU/Pacific Rim" came out on a different medium. If you want this dumb comparison then at least go for The Authority or The Ultimates which had more of an impact on the 00s even if it's still on shaky ground.

What he's essentially trying to argue is that media like Watchmen and NGE allegedly ruined or at least stalled their genres, but these genres were later revived thanks to new popular media in the genres such as the MCU or Pacific Rim.

I don't even want to get into just how blatantly retarded that is.

There's a hundred times more stagnation in film and culture thanks to his beloved Disney-produced superhero pabulum than in all the things Watchmen influenced put together.

Wasn’t both pacific rim films financial failures? I haven’t seen the “big impact “ that Pacific rim left in its wake.

My brain is doing the pretzel thing it does when it tries to understand Bob's politics.

I understand that Watchmen (alongside Crisis on Infinite Earths, Batman: The Killing Joke and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns) kinda ruined comics for awhile, because they were very successful, which made everyone want to copy them. This made the 90s a very edgy period for comics and ended up hurting the industry as a whole. I don't think that the same thing can be said about the mecha genre. I don't really know much about it, but I don't really hear anyone saying that NGE changed it in the same why Watchmen changed comics. NGE was a great show, but (unless I'm mistaken) people still make mecha shows the same way they used to. Maybe this comparison would work if he talked about what Madoka did to magical girl shows, but he didn't. Also what does Pacific Rim have to do with anything?

Now, if you want to talk about NGE's largest legacy, I would have to say that it would be character design. NGE and Slayers have, through the characters of Asuka Langley Sohryu and Lina Inverse, have brought character design to heights that it hasn't seen since. It's very sad. It's like comparing Roman art to Medieval art.

Edit: Just realised that I'm rehashing most of what @RockVulnutt said. Sorry about that.

 

[Honest Coyote]

What's Bob's problem with Watchmen? Is it just how there is lot of moral ambiguity?

He also is incredibly wrong about it dominating the superhero genre. It might have in actual comicbooks, but the big money is in TV and movies. At the same time you had 90's antiheroes and darkness in print, you had cheesy batman movies and x-men cartoons which always had way more eyes. And before the first Ironman movie in 2006 (the start of the MCU), you two popular x-men movies and two well recieved spiderman movies that played many of the tropes of suphero movies straight. If anything, those two series revitalized the genre away from the silly (Batman and Robin) and 3edgy5me (Spawn) by showing you could play comic books straight as action movies that weren't embarrassing for adults to watch.

Christ, how can someone who does nothing but pop culture completely miss trends he lived through, in his field?

 

[Sissy Galvez]

No, I see what Blobb is saying here. NGE and watchmen were good and enjoyed by people who weren’t idiotic, basement dwelling cretins like himself. His comparison of pacific rim to MCU is appropriate because they were also formulaic, boring, dumb movies for simpletons.

 

[The Nothingness]

Of course Bob favors NGE over the superior mech anime, Gundam.

What's really weird is that Watchmen as a film really was more of a curiosity than a success. It predates the Marvel juggernaut ever so slightly (I think it came out the same year as Hulk), so its deconstruction really has had no effect on movies. If anything, the only superhero deconstruction I can think of that was really any kind of influential movie was ... The Incredibles. Which you think he might mention until you remember he's a jackass.

Bob doesn't actually like comicbooks so his understanding of them is all 2nd hand stuff, the Watchmen thing is basically an old meme since it technically did inspire "90s comics" like what Image and Marvel used to flood the stores with that the industry never really recovered from. Despite people lamenting "the 90s", it wasn't literally the whole decade and this fad was mostly the extremely early half of the decade and by the time of 96-97 or so, comics were already doing more goofy fun stuff again up until like 2001/2002 where post-9/11 themes started dripping in. Bob likes the MCU so he thinks "Comics=bad but MCU=Good" since he doesn't know we've had like 2-3 changes in attitude over the nearly four decades since Watchmen came out. The most praise Bob gives current material now is when he wants some minority replacement in the MCU even when Marvel Comics has ironically been moving away from that.

TL;DR Fat man dislikes thing he probably never read because he heard other people say it was double-plus bad and totally ruined everything forever.

I don't know, didn't he write a script that was Paradise Lost with Care Bears? I mean, I'm sure that he only learned about it because it was mandatory for some college course he took, and he would never read anything like that on his own, but I'n guessing that he vaguely remembers a few of the books he was forced to read in school.

Possibly. Or he just remembers it from a Star Trek episode.

Never watched NGE itself, only saw memes, find them funny but the idea of watching it considering I know it all 2nd hand is just massively offputting, finding out the shit it's creator went through too just makes me not want to watch it at all.

So, here's something that occurs to me...

Was sent this video by a friend:

As stated in there is something I've also heard before: YouTube constantly loses money. In fact, judging by the tiny bit of research I've done on it, it looks like youTube is in no position to turn a profit for decades.

You think about something everyone is racing to, but which is unsustainable and operating at a loss and one word comes to mind: Bubble.

Remember the last tech bubble we had?

Which brings it all back to a riddle: What if YouTube's bubble pops? Remember how much Bob bragged about how hard he worked to be a relevant human being in the new economy etc etc? So what happens if that bubble pops? What happens if Bob's professional foundation is built on sand? Would we get the chance to see it?

And which would you bet on dying first? Bob? Or his career?

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to put in: What just happened on YouTube? Another adpocalypse. How many more of those do you think the platform can stand before popping?

Not disagreeing about the math, but youtube is great for controlling narratives. I would bet that multiple government agencies are slipping them envelopes under the table, a la operation mockingbird. They don't have to make a traditional profit because they're not a consumer product; the consumer is the product.

As for which dies first, Bob is a great sacrificial cow. If big tech ever needs a smokescreen for bias, you can throw away Bob as a token front of equality without losing anything. It'll be even more hilarious than just him failing because he's an untalented lazy delusional hack, because he'll have to justify agreeing with banned conservatives talking points while also agreeing with banning conservatives talking points.

This makes a lot of sense, but I don't think that you have to go so far as adding bio-luminescent African Americans into the equation to see Youtube surviving while making a negative profit. Youtube is owned by Google and they will keep pumping money into that beast, becuase it allows them to have a greater control of information. Google gets loads of money from other, profitable ventures, so they can get away with this.
