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

Nicole Stevenson is one of the overhyped comics creators of the 2010's. After like three "chapters" were published online Nimona was picked to be published as a graphic novel, and it's just the most Tumblr comic of all time. The writing is awful, flip-flopping between failed attempts at serious drama and "MEME please share my comic" humor, and whenever characters talked about science (as seen with New-SheRa Stevenson has a seeming obsession with "magic" being explained away as really really high-tech), it was like reading memes on one of those SCIENCE FUCK YEAH Facebook pages circa 2015.

No one outside of certain circles on Tumblr and other online spaces cared about her until she was psyopped hard enough she got the chance to take charge of the She-Ra reboot cartoon. The news that Nimona The Motion Picture was finally going through was met with a huge surge in people who probably couldn't have told you what a Noelle Stevenson was a year before swearing they were huge fans of "Nimona" this whole time.
 
Which is funny since Noelle Stevenson got her tits cut off and calls herself 'Nate' now. Suddenly Nu-Ra not having tits makes sense.
She is a shitty writer that trooned out. Not surprising
she got cucked so hard that she trooned out. Ain't it amazing that all of her wahmen power + feminism posturing is all for nothing.
I remember her being a popular tumblr avengers fanartist with a very generic art style and I recall her sperging about "waah comic nerds are gatekeeping assholes!!1!" in all caps back in the day. Never heard from her until she got hired for the new she-ra cartoon. She is not a psyop, she networked/nepotism her way into being a showrunner of a cartoon.
 
Did a rewatch of the first three seasons of Total Drama. Island and World Tour especially have a lot of rewatchability. Action not so much but despite some characters getting ruined it's not a bad show. The show definitely still holds up well even though the still inconclusive ending of World Tour is a little frustrating. Island is certainly the "best" season, it's just so damn fun, feels the closest to an actual show, I appreciate the normalcy of it before things got super crazy with later seasons, and the actual drama and character interactions are the best in it but World Tour has the best and most satisfying finale event. The songs in World Tour aren't always good but I like musicals a lot so I enjoyed that aspect of it a lot anyways. And the whole series really has such a great cast too, it's crazy they were able to actually create so many great characters for the show and most of them aren't even that outlandish or cartoonish.

As far as worst to best go I would rate the characters like this:

Katie and Sadie- Because worse than bad is boring and forgettable and these two were literally the only characters who I forgot were in the show upon the first time I rewatched Total Drama. They're that bland and meaningless. Once Sadie is gone, the last of the fake cast that nobody cared about in the first season is gone and the real cast that people actually like and remember is left over.
Ezekiel- I don't think he's a bad character but there's just nearly nothing to say about him and I don't like him becoming feral in World Tour. It's just pretty silly. The character was never really allowed to grow or show any potential unlike a few others.
Eva- Poor Eva, had a lot of funny moments when she's briefly allowed to do anything but even more than Ezekiel she's never given much opportunity.
Sierra- I just think she's annoying. She also has quite a few funny moments but it's usually just to set up Cody, for the most part she's one-note and really overstays her welcome.
Trent- I feel bad putting Trent this low but he's kind of a little too boring in Island and is then utterly massacred early in Action and never competes or does anything again. I appreciate him being the normal guy in Island but Geoff and Bridgette function similarly to that while being characters at the same time. More than anyone else I think Trent gets shafted horribly.
Noah- He's better in World Tour and later Ridonculous Race too but he's way too much of a non-entity in Island to place any higher. The friendship with Owen was fun, he has some good digs at Chris, and figuring out Alejandro was a bad guy was good.
Justin- By far the biggest non-character in Island but then actually becomes interesting in Action and a pretty fun villain for a while before Courtney takes over. After that he's made totally irrelevant by Alejandro.
Tyler- Way better in World Tour, an actual character and has a lot of fun moments with his team and Lindsay. His elimination in Island was kind of unfair to him but it was funny.
Courtney- Oh boy. I just plain don't like Courtney. She's annoying and a bitch and not in the fun way like Heather. Her stuck up personality and total lack of self-awareness, always thinking she's right and the good guy in every situation. At least Heather knows she's a bitch. Courtney still had fun moments in Island and World Tour but is insufferable in Action. She's not a bad character though, just really annoying.
DJ- Somehow I feel like DJ always ends up overstaying his welcome. The constantly hurting animals gag was funny in World Tour but it annoys me that he lasted longer than Lindsay.
Beth- I have literally nothing bad or good to say about Beth. She exists.
Duncan- Frankly I just became tired of Duncan, much like Owen, because he feels like the creator's pet of the show. I don't like how he gets so far in World Tour after being gone half the season and I really don't like how he wins Action. Despite that he's pretty great in Island and has a lot of good moments and character development.
Blainely- Probably the most underrated character in my opinion. She's funny and fulfills her role really well in her brief appearance on the show and even briefer run as a contestant. I like her interactions with Owen and what happens with her over the course of World Tour.
Owen- He's okay but he always lasts way too long in the competition despite usually being such a huge screw up. He was responsible for his team losing several times in Island and just wasn't a strong player but pretty much managed to win by flying under the radar the whole time. Then he's brought back to intentionally sabotage things in Action and it's annoying. He has good interactions with a lot of characters in World Tour though.
Izzy- She was my favorite character for a while and is definitely at her best in Island but she never becomes as fun as that anymore. In Action she's even kind of annoying at points and in World Tour she's just underutilized. Was the wackiest character for a while.
Cody- Basically another non-character in Island but unlike Justin and Noah at least had some funny moments and character development before becoming a main character of World Tour. I don't understand the popularity exactly both in-universe and out but he's not bad. His constant voting for Sierra was funny.
Geoff- Fun in Island, better as the host of Aftermath and a competitor on Ridonculous Race. Not actually much more to say about him though.
Bridgette- I like Bridgette just for being such a normal girl and having her fun gag in Island of being a bit of a klutz and accidentally injuring people or doing dumb things on accident. She also has the most fun and probably normal relationship with Geoff.
Leshawna- Fun character, always a strong player, recipient of probably the most bullshit elimination in Island (even more than Lindsay's).
Lindsay- Speaking of, Lindsay is just super fun and she 100% deserved to win Action. All her eliminations are complete bullshit. I like how Lindsay really liked Heather in Island and I wish they became normal friends later on when they didn't have to be on the same team anymore. Lindsay had the best character development in Action and was fun for her brief time on World Tour. She shows that as dumb as she is she isn't always just some nice girl and can take charge.
Alejandro- The actual best villain of the show even though Heather is the most entertaining. What makes Alejandro great is he actually thought out his evil plans and presented himself as nice and helpful, Heather too often did really stupid shit for no reason and just got lucky. And he's not perfect either, he gets humiliated a couple of times and even in the ending he "wins" it's because of a mistake.
Gwen- Essentially the main character of Island, where she gets a ton of focus. It's a shame she's shafted so bad in Action and never comes close to achieving her main character role again but she's good enough in Island alone to be one of the best and most memorable characters.
Harold- Another contender for who should've won Action instead of either Beth or Duncan, Harold is probably the most fun character to watch. He's great in every season, it's just a shame he was booted so early in World Tour. Also I wish the friendship teased between him and Heather was developed more.
Heather- The real main character of the entire trilogy. The perfect reality show bitch villain in Island, character development in Action, and then the most sensible and determined competitor in World Tour. She deserved that win. In Island she's incredibly entertaining and in World Tour she's great because she always keeps her eye on the prize and does the opposite of what she did in Island. She's actually smart in World Tour and constantly has to tard wrangle her team. She never loses focus on winning. She's a massive cunt and she knows it, she makes the entire trilogy.

Edit: Holy hell, needed to spoiler all that Total Drama autism.

Speaking of her, and I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet, Nimona (as well as both Elemental and Spider-Verse) was lost to Hayo Miyasaki at last night's Oscars for Best Animated Feature. I don't know if this is the case, but is she coping and seething on social media that the movie based on her book lost to an anime movie?
 
https://archive.md/GUrnZ Here's a link to a Q&A with the Co-Director of Kung Fu Panda 4. Which reveals alot of info about why the movie turned out the way it did.
I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm if I keep reading more. The part about the writers getting mad people are poking holes into the script says it all.

No, surprisingly. Nigger-Man chimped out over it though:

All I can say is that....the fact that the film was enjoyable for my retarded little brain is a miracle.

Hope the film making bank gives that co-director more clout. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

And by the "Animation=Cinema" group of people, we all mean manchildren, middle-aged wine moms and full-blown normiefags that will continue to cope and seethe about their precious little Disney or Pixar movie not winning any of the Oscars in the modern day on their social media pages. Imagine Disney and Pixar and their respective social media trannies/fags still coping and seething for two years in a row at the Oscars
