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

Please tell me that there won't be a Velma season 3. I can only take so much gutting of my humanity.
I'm so sorry to tell you this, but even though they killed Velma, they teased that the 3rd season will be about bringing back from the dead.

Pray to God that season 3 of Velma will never happen because Mindy Kaling is determined to make it happen.

Even worse he's voiced by a drag queen
If this was the old ren and stimpy or God forbid apc...I might give this show the benefit of the doubt and say casting/animation like that was an intentional joke that requires a second thought to get, like " oh they're commenting on the pedestal society has put niggerfags on." But I can't give this show that benefit because it just as well could be the staff worshiping that same altar of conformity and not mocking it.


The second segment was a little better, it definitely felt like the games era which....eh I can take or leave the games era of r&s as average at best mediocre at worst. The August 11th, 1991 joke and the joke about them being squatters for 30 years much like they have in real time is definitely meta, but no where near as painful as the meta jokes in velma.


I'm still hoping this reboot either stays buried or gets a quiet dump on streaming and never talked about again. It's somewhere between x-men 97, and static cling. A reboot that has some elements of the original but too much current year to ever be a true successor to what it was. It had potential, but of you couldn't get the original creator back (for obvious reasons) then they should have gotten someone who gave a damn about the original or was involved on the original...last I checked Bob camps still alive and he is often said to be the real mind behind why r&s was so good.
 
My god it's fucking awful, First thing I notice how alot of the drawings look traced or have already been done before, aswell as the animation looking less clampett inspired and more of a static approach where things move one at a time. The background paintings look gross too especially in the second segment. the work of Bill Wray and Scott Wills is sorely missed.

Ren going to hell and Stimpy going to heaven is a great episode idea but the execution wasn't good, the setup of Ren's Birthday + dying from lighting a match during a gas leak were already things that happened in the Games seasons anyways.

From what I understand Bob Camp and numerous other original crew were originally on board once left when they realized it was going to be a written cartoon instead of actually telling the story through the storyboard, which has only left Bob Jaques and Kelly Armstrong working on it, which is a big fall from them animating some of the greatest episodes like Stimpy's Invention and Sven Hoek.

I hope this has been shelved and this makes me appreciate the lesser episodes of the Games era a whole lot more since those were still done by Cartoonists having fun. not a mostly female writing staff, and it makes me wish APC had more episodes aswell.

Now shut up and drive -Ren

That's what made me turn it off. I thought that the actual backgrounds and shit looked top notch (not very creative with the angles but w/e) but it was EXTREMELY noticable that nearly every pose was "stock".
I assume this was the compromise on not using toonboom puppets.

It's like you don't understand that the entire point of Street Shitter nu-scoob is to try and kill the old one. They'll keep throwing Kike Fink ESG shekels at it until you hate the good old shit goyim... or until the Rothschild ponzi dollar of Americanda dies - which will actually happen first, thankfully. You can't ruin the actual Scooby-doo, it's been ongoing for too many decades and was a part of too many kids' childhoods, but like every Abyssal Shadow - it will try to co-opt and destroy as much of the old good as it can. Iudea et Shitskin Delenda Est.
 
It’s far worse than APC ever was.
>Billy West as Ren
>God's hand is black
>still over-uses the stock dramatic stingers

It's shit. Reminds me of the episodes that Games worked on, which weren't really good.


This is like if you fed Ren & Stimpy to an AI for the animation and got guys who worked on really bad adult cartoons to write for it. "like", I mean two of the writers worked on garbage like Paradise PD and Big Mouth, the rest have no experience with anything related to animation. It's a pointless reboot, an otherwise typical watered down, writercom by the sort of "animation writers" who seem to hate visual gags and seem vaguely resentful about working in animation. Characters explain things rather than doing them and the animation consists of subpar “wacky” doodles animated in a bland, lackluster way.

If anyone wants my personal take on it, let me just say that I owe APC an apology. I still find APC to be terrible, but miraculously it had a lot of memorable moments, even for the wrong reasons. The new reboot so far is acutely aware how awful it truly is starting with the appropriately named first half of the episode, "Aw Hell No."

It's sad because the attention-to-detail background painting and designs are really good but they could've been in a much, MUCH better product, and that's the only good thing I can say about it. Billy West's voice acting is so sore and wobbly in his old age that I feel bad for him and his agent for still getting work. (:_(
Adele K be like
 
seriously I haven't heard work from him that isn't at least ten or fifteen years old, so this was like, holy shit
You'll be either surprised or rather unsurprised to find out that he's still getting work. He even returned to Futurama and he sounds awful, especially given his age (and the same goes with pretty much every other VA who had returned)

Yeah I'll be fair, aging thirty years is an easy way to sound thirty years older. Not everybody can use whatever shinto voodoo shit Furuya does to voice Young Amuro in modern day

Furuya's voice talents are impressive. Especially since pretty much every other big Gundam VA can't quiiite pull their big voices off anymore.

>Nobuo Tobita (Kamille) finally sounds a bit older
>Kazuki Yao smokes 10 packs a day, is allegedly hiding throat cancer and sounds insanely rough
>Hikaru Midorikawa can't quite pull off Heero anymore. His voice is far from bad, he just can't get as high-pitched


Billy West does sound bad though. Just watched a clip of Hulu Futurama and was pretty surprised. You'd think if your voice was your big money maker, you'd treat it like regular actors do with their hairline. IE: Do whatever it takes to keep it immaculate.

afaik there's only so much you can do other than "don't drink" "don't smoke" or "don't do much on the margins of your range"
tbh I'm not sure if he drinks, pretty sure he doesn't smoke
