/co/ added more credence to it as Dreamworks was easily going to wreck another one of their IPs going this route. Kung Fu Panda 4 was going to have Po interact with humans. The Chameleon was initially a human woman, there are even concepts for it:

The Shrek world wasnt the real world but the people in it never felt like they were traditonal fantasy archetypes. Alot of it was blatant satire, more down to Earth parody of how people acted in Disney movies, down to Fiona hating a supposed “hero” breaking out into song. Putting them in the real world is no different than their own, only now there arent fairy tale creatures. Its what Farquaad wanted his ideal kingdom to be. I didnt have much hope for 5 but this sounds like its going to be a horrible revival flick.

This would be cool if it was just Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy wearing a Shrek and Donkey costume then the movie was shot like Borat where they're filming random people that don't know what's actually going on.

This one won't even have anything deranged like Bill Cosby magic as a plot device to give it any redeeming quality

Not only is it good on it's own, but it perfectly sets up Bob's own problems with 'Needing to be needed', even if the movie mostly treats it as a joke.

Does a lot to also make the inclusion of new supers by the end more impactful as the audience gets a taste of what was lost and how many lost their lives to get to this point beforehand.

Like I do feel bad that the Pibby creator has to go to therapy, but like my god him and his fans who cry how no one wants original content despite the foundation of Pibby being a remix of a lot of IP is fucking hilarious to me. Especially with how the whole thing is a critique against how memes suck which makes no sense and really dates the series hard if it got greenlit.
It sounds a bit fake, almost too stupid to be real, but I guess if more info comes of it, then holy shit this is bad.

This amuses me because "nobody wants original content" is kind of true... but coming from someone who had a breakdown over creating some slack jawed fanfiction naked powerpuff girl knockoff that just meets other cartoon characters that he didn't create in a beaten to death post apocalyptic world* story line that's been done often and better... it becomes hilariously ironic.
Literally nothing about this story or characters is original.
Like, dude. Grow a spine. Your idea was crap and you need to move on. If you're an artist and you haven't taken a hard L that late into your life and need to be medicated and in therapy because of it ... then you need to go flip some burgers and chill out, you're in the wrong line of work.
This faggot is made of jello.
* When I was a wee apple blossom in art school we made jokes about post apocalyptic shit. It was so rote in our department that you had to do one so you could get it out of your system and move the fuck on. Making that storyline is a sign of immaturity. I did mine during my BFA.

That idea would've been so batshit crazy it just might have saved the film. Better than Ackwafina or whatever her name is being a MC. Humans somehow exist in KFP, a world of talking animals and magic and spirits.

Yeah not helped that shit like this probably made Adult Swim realize this isn't the best investment
Nor the fact he was aiming too high without understanding the legal process of getting so many IPs (Like I remembered this guy wanted like Vegeta from DBZ which is owned by Toei)

I really dislike how these days EVERY Western cartoon ever is the same pastiche of Marvel gay writing, Cal Arts, the writer's past experiences in college (usually sad), or all three at once.

Nobody wants original content when the people behind it are creatively bankrupt and whose only bit of wisdom when it comes to writing a story is "write what you know" (they don't apply it correctly).
These people cannot spin a unique concept, they can only tread known ground. It's no wonder people stick to things that were made by competent people.

Not sure if this is the right thread about it, but I wanted to comment about this: So, I watched the Netflix adaptation of Asterix's The Boss Battle, wondering if it would be actually good, or the typical Netflix drivel, as well as wondering if even Asterix would be defiled by being blacked and such.
The answer?
As for the plot, is more or less the same as the original with little changes, a big Marvel-esque battle that to be fair was in the original work, and so on. Well-done production-wise, but I wonder if Netflix directives are forced to follow DIE directives as well.
The answer?
Of fucking course they do.
First, the pretty blonde gal that both Asterix and Obelix had a crush is mysteriously absent (can't have pretty women anymore because of male gaze). Then the second druid that helped Getafix, is now a lady, and one with the ugly lesbian cut, urgh. She does fuck-all to boot (Getafix is "cured" when a passing Roman hits him for being annoying.)
But that's okay, surely they won't shove a nigger here, right?
They do, and they must know it wouldn't be welcomed, as it's hidden until episode 3/5, the nigress with afro called Hanna Barberum (haha, get it?), as a co-commentator of the Boss Fight.
Last but not least, a new character, Metadata, who supports the heroes right at the end after a plot contrivance and is just there otherwise, is the boring bland and annoying smart Mary Sue better than anyone. For once she's not a perfect fighter (she doesn't fight at all), but she wears pants that are absolutely anachronistic and ridiculous because no-one else does, the justification being that they wore pants in the old 50s ("what old 50s?" A Roman asks).

Genuinely some of the best screenplay / TV writing advice I've ever heard was given by Zach Hadel on The Create Unknown. When talking about TV writing that's actually fresh and funny, he says the most important thing is that you cannot just be recapitulating everything you know about your medium / genre because then it's just a show about tv shows or a movie about movies. You have to be into unusual things, you have to be able to draw something into your work that will be novel or compelling to people. Something that isn't just "I watched every episode of Spongebob and ATLA".
