So sounds like everything we predicted about elemental was true.
every time I see clips of that movie in action it just looks worse
the fire people especially are some of the worst-looking things i've seen since Shark Tale days
how the fuck is everyone praising its visuals as the best part about it

Wasnt there a leak of this movie and people thought it was a troll cause of how bad the graphics was? Also one cool fact about pixar is that every movie of theirs is developed with a tech mindset (they base some of the story concepts based on what tech theyre going to innovate on, very nintendoesque mindset) and every movie they try to innovate in one area of the tech, be it rendering fur, rendering hair, water reflections, interactions between materials etc. I think with The Good Dinosaur they dropped that and started making nonsense for the sake of it.

no, I'm pretty sure with TGD they tried for those hyper-realistic backgrounds to really push their graphics to the limit
they just forgot to account for the cartoony dinosaurs with swollen feet and pond-pebble-esque teeth prancing around in front of those backgrounds

Probably because the other parts are even more colossally shitty.

And yet the movie with the retarded downie YEE dinosaur was probably more watchable.

Sure, Pixar has made a very pretty visual for a tech demo like Good Dino, and yes I am calling it a tech demo because it lacks actual depth and actual writing. It's just a shitty excuse for Pixar to show off its hyper-realistic backgrounds blending in with very over-the-top cartoon characters (and the final result is just a shit mish-mash). A lot of people can point fingers as to why the final product ended up being this way, such as the difficult production and not, but it's still a very shit movie. In comparison, three other Pixar movies Toy Story, its sequel and Ratatouille have had respective production troubles as well, but they turned out great.

theres the dwarf commander who wears drag called Corporal Littlebottom
The customs of the dwarf society are a poke at Tolkien and a running joke in the series. Way to miss the point.

he wrote a book about pooners in 2003 called Monstrous Regiment,
This one was about girls enlisting in disguise in an armed conflict. You'd call Jeanne d'Arc a pooner too? You haven't even read this book judging by your ignorance.

What 'social justice' themes does each of his books involve? I'll be waiting for your essay (forever, since you're a troll).
 
I watched it on a flight, once. Cant remember a single thing except for the Sam Elliott Dinosaur and the fact that it ripped off the lion king, very shittily.
Yea, Good Dino was forgettable as sin. It's sad that it's a complete case of wasted potential. Also, it's funny that Disney would keep releasing the same exact story over and over. Bambi, Old Yeller, Jungle Book, Lion King, Dinosaur, Brother Bear, Eight Below, Brave, Good Dinosaur, Black Panther, both live-action remakes of Jungle Book and Lion King; they use the same exact storyline over and over.

I get that the stories for Toy Story and Monsters Inc. weren't inherently original, but the two excel in execution. Good Dino can't even do just that, and that's the same with most other Pixar films 2010s onward.

The trolls may be an example but my memory is fuzzy. I'm thinking of the kud that lookslike a stack of bricks and is adopted by the Night Watch guard that wears the Hat Of +10 Intelligence

The main people who try that stunt of claiming female soldiers dressing as men to go to war as troons are troons themselves.
 
Literally made an alt just to give you all a cool fact. Guero Balazos is a real thing made by mexican minor cow Kalcifer Vallarta, who is an orbiter of Doomentio, one of the many cows in the hispanic cartoon reviewing community. Doomentio's real name is Arturo Coronado in case you wanted additional context for this piece of Ñ posting. Hell, if iirc this meme was made by one of Kalcifer's suckups.

It seems someone leaked a PowerPoint presentation for Primos.

And not only that, It seems a lot of Mexicans are pissed that the show is basically nothing but racial stereotypes.

So yeah... we're in for a treat.
This shit is such a cope. Usually in Asian households it takes till the third gen to become americanized but Latinos turn into burgers the moment they kickstart the next gen. This shit is fucking Cali, how the fuck can you at least not try to learn Spanish if half your family knows the language.
I once met a guy attending one of those culture houses for Slovakia and the Czech Republic that spoke fluent Spanish cuz he felt like studying it in uni. I met an Irish pilot that barely had an accent and could gush about mexican food Jimador in hand.
What I'm trying to say is that if none of these chicanos have bothered to learn the most basic of elements of the heritage they claim to be so proud of is probably because they don't see it as anything but a label for their identities. Imagine wanting to be special about being Latino in fucking California, where even random cashiers at every Jack in the Box at least know enough to help you order. No wonder these pricks need to add shit about being neurodivergent or LGBT.

It's even worse when you see Latino animators like Jorge Gutierrez support this shit.

This one hurts the most because you know the same people celebrating Primos today were calling El Tigre racist back in the day. El Tigre was basically the anti-Primos, it was fucking massive the other side of Rio Grande and Gutierrez is actually mexican.

Does it matter that it pokes fun at Tolkien's dwarves if it comes across as "drag soldiers good"? And by the end of monstrous regiment jackrum becomes a pooner with the pronoun changes and the protag encourages jackrum to do so, with the ending showing the protag allowing pooners to join the military. Yes I've not read the books but I've read enough about them and pratchett online to know that the stuff he wrote had ulterior motives. Don't do the stupid mauler thing of "my interpretation is objectively right independent of context so current thing isn't biased towards communism", no communist author in history has outright indicated their intentions unless they're from Russia, you always need to dig more and look for context cause they love to hide that shit. Even in interviews pratchett is on record stating the book is about gender confusion and identity problems. If it's a straight Mulan like story there wouldn't be any identity crisis.

I just saw so many pooners and breadtubers online worshipping that book with detailed explanation of why it is. It seemed legit, that's all. I'm not even doing so positively I hate troons.

Maybe you should read and watch things for yourself and form your own opinions on them.

Just saying. Jeanne d'Arc was not a fucking troon and only troons say that troon shit.

Fair but to find a particular piece of media's philosophy or political bias, you require both the content of the media and the authors intention. The authors intention is something most people miss cause they don't care to look around or are so enamored by that media that they don't want to consider the possibility that it might have radical biases. There's enough context for pratchetts intentions being communist from interviews he gave to his friendship with Neil Gaiman and the "British invasion" clique to his daughters statements on social media. Ignoring that and saying his books don't have that bias is like saying the Boondocks or Arcane dont have radical biases.

But without actually reading the books you have no way to see that bias in action and actually understand the context of the work, and even with bias the work itself can unintentionally (and in some cases easily) be read to mean the opposite of what the creator intends. You still need to read it and actually think for yourself.

This appears to be someone who amongst other things has admitted they haven't read their books and thinks the dwarves are about drag. Most likely it's bait, the other possibility is their entire awareness of Discworld comes from what idiots on Youtube and social media understand it as. The same sort of people who scream "the founding fathers would support us."

It's telling that it's after Pratchett's death these sort of things have got more prominent now that the mouth breathing slime found on Reddit and the like knows they can't be corrected.
 
We interrupt the woke elemental discussion to wish Garfield a happy birthday the big 4 5

and here's some old copium from one of the youtubers in the "cartoon community" as far as the film's quality goes.
