Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

Bluey cum jar project.

I hate you.

The big problem is that generic anime still looks passable and chibi anime is stylised enough to be enjoyable. Calarts is just... ugly and plain, like a good contrast is Invader Zim is far more simplistic artistically but it's several times more recognizable, fun and nice to look at.

I think it's a matter of social cliques and a crab bucket, people who try to innovate and make pretty things don't survive art schools or is blacklisted, the only important thing is to be a fuckbody of someone at the top.

Calarts look like if a toddler learned how to draw, and got to a certain point where they didn't bother to move past curves and squiggly lines.

@skykiii Thundercats Roar! was legit made by someone who hated the original because his brother would hog the television to watch it. Just to give you an idea of what it’s like.

You mixed up the details. They're not the same person, the one who hated it supported the show to spite the chuds. Don't ask me why I remember this.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Instead of the preachy garbage like Steven Universe, or shit like a Velma that gleefully gives the middle finger to old fans.

That's precisely the root of the issue - these people genuinely hate the original cartoons, and the people that enjoy them. Get someone like @skykiii in front of a Thundercats reboot, I guarantee you it'll do gangbusters. But no. The screeching harpies are given free reign over these properties because nepotism/diversity.

Gotta keep “Velma” the “totally most viewed animated show we have on the service at the particular moment in time, we swear” somehow.

 

[AnOminous]

This is the same as “best ever debut for an hbo Max animated series ever”.

Now there's a World's Tallest Midget contest if there ever was one.

Considering what Phil and Chris are like now...

It's like a whole room of soyjaks.

"Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

Hey, Gabe Newell said that, right?

Correct. You'd think, what with him owning the biggest online gaming store there is, more companies would heed his words. But nope. Gotta erase good capeshit shows to make way for STRONK, SMRT, INDEPENDENT PAJEET WAHMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN (but at the same time, rubs her clit to the thought of every available man in sight running a train on her).

How long before they go "most viewed show" on their service when they eventually make Velma the only thing to watch on HBO.

What is with with cartoons and just being sitcoms for manchildren now. I don't remember tiny toons at all, haven't seen it in at least 20 years, but i don't think anyone needed an unfunny 20 minute deconstruction on how the looney tunes worked.

I blame 3 things:

1. Writers like Mindy Kaling and Dana Terrence who never got over their childhoods. I know I don’t need to point this out but those two are good examples of Arrested Development.

2. Like you said, the cartoon fandom is full of man-children with disabilities. Those people are not right in head. I’ve encountered a couple of them on social media, and a lot of them are Chris-Chan tier of autism.

3. Modern writers/creators just don’t have good imaginations.

Haven't watched the full thing yet, but the "12 minutes" joke was the worst one by far and triggers my 'tism because of how much of a missed opportunity they had when telling it. They could've gone a 100 different, more funnier ways of telling something like that but instead they went with some nonsensical excuse i.e. "12 rich minutes."

Writers, you really couldn't come up with something a bit more clever than that? What about "you have 12 minutes to get out of the cafe." *wrecking ball comes down* "I thought you said we had 12 minutes?!?" "Oh sorry did I say 12 minutes? I meant 12 minutes in the next time zone over. Which is an hour from here... Which is now. So get out."

I mean come on if a retard like me can write a better joke, you're saying """professionals""" in the """field""" can't? /spergingover

@skykiii

Now, Third Earth is implied to be Earth in the far future, so far past the apocalypse its come back around and become primitive again (think Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind after the bugs succeed in making most forests re-grow). There are anomalies everywhere which could, potentially, be because of past shit. And any other intelligent society the Cats find (and usually ally with) are a lone village with no clue if there's anything past that.

And this is what makes Thundercats interesting: Third Earth is an awesome setting. It's primitive, its mysterious, its dangerous. Exploring it is legitimately cool, but tempered by the knowledge that if Lion-O didn't carry around the Sword of Omens, the cats would probably be screwed.

I started rewatching this to get some kind of idea what happened on Third Earth. Halfway through and nothing. The only hint is that Mumm-Ra has been around since 'First Earth'.

Oh well, kids cartoon.

The New Tiny Toons got leaked. I'd upload it but honestly I think this sucks so much dick I don't even want Null to have to get an email from HBO's lawyers to get it off the internet.

Why are the voices so shitty, are they placeholders???

I lasted less than 15 seconds. What did everyone else get?

Gabe is as scummy as all the other corporate entities. Heck, he made it so you own none of your games on Steam as the user agreement states you are only allowed access to the software through the Steam client and Valve gives itself the right to remove your access to it if they feel like it.

It's generally up to the vendor whether or not they actually use DRM or the more obnoxious requirement of always-on Internet. It's usually the AAA dipshits who have the worst of that stuff.

And it's why GOG has a place in the market.

I lasted less than 15 seconds. What did everyone else get?

I watched it all the way through, it's clearly not the fully finished episode but there's an obscene amount that needs doing to it even in scenes that look completed. Delays when scenes change that go a little too long, off puttingly bad movement animation, voices that make me want to shove a drill through my kneecaps.

It feels like Tiny Toons by way of TV Tropes. There's little creativity but there are lots of over used jokes and references.

But the worst part of it is probably Buster's voice. I knew it would be different but a single uttered sound from it kicked off a nails on chalkboard reaction for me in the opening seconds of the thing. When he uttered a complete sentence I could hear Satan's mocking laughter beneath it.

Of course I might be focusing on that to protect myself from the rest.
