[stupid moron]

I'm an animation sperg, so I know a thing or two about animation, including the 3D kind.

When you create 3D animation, the actual model itself cannot move (except for physics-based animation, or sliding around like SCP-173.) To make a model move its arms, legs, and such, you need to rig the model. Simply put, the model is a meat body, and the rig is the skeleton that allows the model to move. Incidentally, this is how skins in video games work: the model itself is switched out, while the rig (and animations done with that rig) are left.

With Sonic the Hedgehog, all the animators needed to do is create a new Sonic model and hook it up to the old rig. Even the facial animations could be redone like this (and if they couldn't, it'd be easy to do motion capture again.) The fix is simple and probably took all of a month or two to implement. 3D animators are lazy, and many 3D animation tutorials are simply tutorials on how to get the computer to do the work for you. If the movie was halfway done when the change was ordered, even better: replace the old model in the shots you finished, and use the new one in the unfinished shots.

Bob doesn't give two shits about the animation industry, particularly given his boner for the Marvel CGI Universe. He's just looking for an excuse to attack the Sonic movie.

I think I read somewhere they had to create a new rig for the new model. His facial animations probably would look really weird using the old setup. It would look like the old model was using the new one as a skin suit.

Bob is a fucking retard for trying to say the animators were “slaves” for having to redo the work. They pushed the movie back accordingly whenever they had to update the model.

Where was that button? Oh, here we go, toggle BBCode. (Damn quoting bug.)

In the original show, the Planeteers were meant to represent every continent. They even state this simple fact in the intro.

Leave it to Bob to only watch the opening credits, and then not even understand that.

Planeteers and Captain Planet were named by a marketing team, and jokes about how "superheroes are big right now"

... why is that making me think of Rob Liefeld? A team called Bloodsomething.... Wait, no, Youngblood! They were all about the marketing and branding and all that, as I dimly recall. So much so that he was able to use the actual real-world reason for changing Bedrock's name and slogan (don your anticringe armor now: "Yabba-Dabba-Doom!") as the in-universe reason: Lawyers in charge of defending the Flintstones IP sent some papers telling them to get their own shtick.

In attempting to make the source material feel modern and self-aware, it comes off just as clueless and dated as the original.

And now I'm thinking of that Jem and the Holograms movie. I'm amazed at Bob's ability to remind me of stupid works I haven't thought of in literal years.

4) The Ma-Ti Subplot is surprisingly good (graded on a curve)

Huh, an idea that allows for protagonist conflict and lets you have Captain Planet in the movie while still saving him for the finale?

Good job Bob, in a sea of bad ideas you had one good one, so I can honestly say you didn't fail utterly.

Pity me, my friends, for the folly of my ways.

Your sacrifice is most appreciated. Good show all around!

I seriously have to wonder what would happen (oh to be a fly on the wall) if Bob actually made it into some studio exec's office and made a true and honest pitch for Care Bears/Mega Man/Captain Planet (Ted Turner would probably veto this shit lol) fanfic reeeeeeboots.

As I recall, didn't Turner famously axe the Swat Kats because he felt it was too dark and violent? (Leading to that hilarious comic claiming the real reason he did it was to stop having erotic hallucinations of Callie Briggs.)

Also have to wonder if Bob ever actually did see the inside of an exec's office, let alone to make a serious pitch of any kind.

Woah, woah, back up a second.

Recall what we know about how Bob dresses for special occasions.

Now picture him inside a big film/TV exec's office.

Honestly this might be one of Bobs most retarded takes. He's acting like the animators were dragged off the gulags and forced to work in the mines or something. Nah the boss told them they were gonna get paid for another few months of work, maybe do some overtime to meet the new deadline. Given how volatile the industry is these days I reckon most would have been happy for a few more months of job security.

 

[Miles Peterson]

for example, Battlestar Galactica was pitched as "Wagon Train (a Western) To The Stars!" because westerns were popular for years and years,

Star Trek was pitched as "wagon train to the stars", not BSG.

 

[Brother Wind]

Yeah, he does that, but he drops those names without ever understanding why people liked those properties in the first place. As usual, he's spouting things without understanding why.

So if you're going to spend the money to get the Care Bears license, you have to ask what was appealing about it. Then you have to ask why a Paradise Lost interpretation is going to satisy that audience. If the audiences are that different, why spend the money for the property and baked in audience? You wouldn't, and the idea doesn't stand on its own without it.

Bob is like a Dollar Tree Tim Burton. Let's do Rainbow Brite, but gothic and evil! That's junior year creative writing class tier shit. It's a lazy, tired concept that had a place in the late 80s to early 90s, but hasn't worked since.

Its impressive how everyone has gone through these reboots thinking all over the scale of "This isn't the thing I liked, why did you do this?" And Bob just goes "Man we need to go harder!! Ruin everything! Just keep the basic names of all things!" Frankly I'm surprised he does it to Mario too.

I always thought of the original BSG as like Moses in space with some Mormon mythology thrown in.

Certainly. Bob knows that if you actually commit to something, you lose the excuse that your idea wasn't finished or you were doing it just for fun. You take praise if somebody says it sounds neat, but you have a baked-in escape hatch when people point out the flaws.

The man's more afraid of failure than anything else on the planet. That's how you can tell he'd never make a serious movie pitch-- you have to learn to LOVE failure to make it work. You've got to get your ideas stomped, thank people for their brutal feedback, and then do it again five minutes later, and then ten minutes after that. Then, later on, you actually have to implement that feedback because you acknowledge that people *gasp* actually know something that you don't. As has been noted countless times in this thread, Bob is the biggest bitch when it comes to feedback, honest or otherwise.

And that video does one thing I appreciate, which is setting and adhering to rules. That said, shooting for cinematic universes in general is rough sledding anyway. It's worked *one* time, unless you count sequels and spinoffs as a cinematic universe. And frankly, this one's running out of steam.

Bob either didn't learn, or didn't like the simple lesson that success is the ability to move from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm for trying to improve.

I suspect he's waiting for other Approved Thinkers(TM) to weigh in so he'll know what to say without getting much blowback. Shame he can't do that with all his opinions, his Twitter experience would be both slower-paced and less harrowing.

Huh, I did not know that. Oh, well, not like I was gonna go see it anyway.

"Blacks are dumber than whites" is an odd thing to say out loud like that, but you do you.

My god, this has to be the most regressive, suicidal, anti-intellectual take I've ever seen. Someone show it to Bob so we can watch his brain short circuit from an approved right-think NPC telling him his fire hose vocabulary is problematic.

 

[Meat Target]

Bob is like a Dollar Tree Tim Burton.

This is an egregious insult to goth girls who like to draw. At least they have something that requires an iota of talent, passion, and commitment.

Plus they can sometimes be cool when you talk to them. I would get coffee with Skye Dangerhair before I gave Blob the time of day.

I can't agree. I've never had to consider the best way to escape from giving someone the time of day.

I gotta disagree. Moviebob's actually a Moviebob supremacist. If you don't genuflect to Moviebob, he doesn't consider you to be worthy of existence.

 

[Koby_Fish]

Star Trek was pitched as "wagon train to the stars", not BSG.

Well that too, I suppose, because it was first. But BSG got Lorne Greene, who was on Bonanza for years. And it more closely followed the idea of the TV show Wagon Train (colonists from some far off planets slowly making their way towards Earth, whereas Wagon Train was a whole show about settlers crossing the United States to the places they wanted to settle). Just because Star Trek was pitched as Wagon Train to the Stars at Paramount doesn't mean that Glen A. Larson didn't make a similar pitch to Universal. (For what it's worth, BSG also had a ton of Mormon Theology crammed into it, too.)

I always thought of the original BSG as like Moses in space with some Mormon mythology thrown in.

Well yeah, that too. Same basic idea, people are led to new homes (Exodus and Wagon Train and BSG all follow this formula) and have adventures on the way. With Space Angels.

NOoooooo that random person on twitter is stupid and ignorant. More edumacation doesn't make a person smarter. It makes them less ignorant. Their intelligence remains the same. Please tell me the person got called out for that.

Occupy Democrats is literally funded by a hedge fund. If Warren is standing against the billionaires - which is about as likely as Moviebob sobering up - then Occupy Democrats are with them.

Occupy Democrats still existing blows my mind. I thought they went off everyone's radar about the same time the whole 2012 Mayan Calendar shit did.

Yeah, both of those are about as likely as MovieBob being able to stand under his own power anymore.
