It hasn't even come out yet. You don't even know the context.
I didn't need to watch the Cuties movie to conclude how horrible this pedobait picture is, the trailer and negative reviews were more than enough.
I think what gets to me, as I mentioned in a previous thread, is that even amongst soulless reboots, this will be one of the “good ones” that people are allowed to support. IE You can shit on Beavis and Butt-head or Clone High all you want but god forbid you say anything about Animaniacs. This isn’t me hyperbolizing; Dana Terrace has been saying things to this effect since people pointed out she worked on DuckTales 2017.
I'm not bothered by the fact people are gonna enjoy the reboot. If you like this, good for you, none of my business. The thing is that I'm personally not excited about the new show, and you shouldn't be bothered about this either. Although I must admit it is hilarious how people are defending this reboot just because it's Animaniacs, like no matter how bad the remake is gonna be, people with a negative opinion should shut up.
I don't, but it's a possibility, like I said. There's a 50-50 chance it'll be dated before it comes out... and then I won't have to give a shit.
I just usually start with the assumption that every single remake of a beloved franchise is going to be complete rape, absolutely worthless garbage, so anything better than that will come as a pleasant surprise.
I didn't even pay attention enough to notice the Trump jokes but seriously, the none of the original writers thing is pretty much a dealbreaker, causing me to expect absolute crap. I almost feel sorry for the VAs who did come back. But whatever, they get a paycheck, even if it's for what I now think is just going to be a complete piece of shit.
Money is money and, to be honest, at least it is the original VAs. If they'd recast the roles that would have been a very obvious sign it was gonna suck.
This turned 14 years old Tuesday (the original movie, not tv series). It was one of my favorite movies as a kid, Halloween or not. I unironically still love it and think it holds up. I honestly don't know where I would begin with talking about it. There are a lot of movie parts I've come to notice as an adult.
Hey man, I’m more or less on the same boat. I personally hold no grudge to anyone who supports reboot or has no taste for reboots. My main problem is how people flip flop on whether reboots are acceptable or not and go from blindly defending them to ripping them apart at the drop of a hat. The ridiculous part is when people in the fucking industry are the ones pulling this shit.
True and even if he wins, these jokes have about four years of shelf life before he leaves office for good. By the time the 2030s roll around, these jokes would have aged worst than milk sitting in the hot sun.
The PPG reboot in particular recasting everyone never really made much sense to me. In hindsight, that should've been the biggest red flag possible.
Like I said long ago, it was godforsakenly awful and missed the point of what the original show was trying to do.
Who thought in their right minds it was a good idea to not bring back any of the old writers let alone Tom Reugger the creator himself. I expect to see new writers too but to leave out the old ones for no good reason just sounds like they don't want to actually make a revival were the old meets the new in a fun and clever way but just shamble the Animaniacs name around like a wolf in sheep clothing. I am holding out hope the writers and board artists working on this like the original too but the fact they seemingly refused to bring the original creator back should have been a bad omen for what may come.
What I don't get is why only the female characters. Did the creators of the reboot just hate the voices? Or did they try to replace everyone, but couldn't?
Same. I think the only thing I laughed at in any of the promos was Wakko making a Napster joke. Which... is a pretty cringey lol90s joke, but I guess it struck a chord with me, a former Napster-using 90s teen. Go fig. But the extremely self-congratulatory Jurassic Park segment, Pinky on social media... it all felt really tryhard. Like, "look, look how current we are, look at our jabs about nostalgia culture vs current sociopolitical trends, never mansplainy, amirite." Although, I want to believe they got those all out of the way for the previews, and the whole season won't be quite like that.
Shame there's no Halloween Tree on there, always been a favorite of mine.So, since it's the season, if any of you are looking for something to watch, here's a post I found on Tumblr:
Halloween Cartoons Masterpost
Nickelodeon: Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: The Switching Hour As Told By Ginger: I Spy a Witch Jimmy Neutron: Nightmare in Retroville / Phantom of Retroland The Angry Beavers: The Day the World Got...kristinethevampirequeen.tumblr.com
This has just about everything you could want, no matter your taste.
(Though if you want to watch the Ren and Stimpy one, stop it about 6 minutes in and play this. You'll thank me.)
Anyway, I already knew it wasnt going to work because the culture that animaniacs thrived and parodied doesnt exist anymore and the current culture is too sensentive to be properly parodied. I mean, I could see OG animaniacs doing an Epstein reference (tho subtle) but I cant see the rebooted ones doing since that would obviously push leftists buttons but they will gladly push conservative ones.
