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

Looks like cancelled projects are back on at WB:

Seriously though, wasn't this movie canned? I am surprised to see it is actually coming out.
No I don't think so. I know WB canned Batgirl and Scoob Holiday Haunt, not that anyone wanted to watch the two.
 
The Netflix Castlevania: Nocturne trailer is out:


Two things come to mind watching it:

1. I see the ESG checks were cashed with the new character being a black vampire hunter
2. I get a sense that a major through line of the season will be about class issues since it appears the vampires are acting as French nobility during the time of the French Revolution. I do not trust the writers to stick the landing.
I'm guessing the new character is a dhampir offspring of the fellow in the early part of the trailer. Explains the ethnicity and adds a degree of personal link to the conflict.
 
CN animators are trying to unionize now. I thought they already were negotiating stuff months ago (that "better deal for animation" thing?) but guess not.

Speaking of union bullshit, the strikes put the Spider-Freaks' third movie on pause for who knows how long. The release date they aimed for was March 2024.

Comments range from relief because they won't be crunching their already crunched team, to sadness they won't get their big finish (gigity) to fears that the strikes will go on for too long and ruin everything. Call me a bitch but if pedowood burns before this movie comes out I'm not going to lose much sleep. All these studio hacks and hardasses need to give it a fucking rest for a while.
 
studios became so desperate from the strike they uncanned a movie they canned as a tax write off
Well I'd rather watch this than that shit Velma abomination, and it has Frank Welker, Matt Lillard, Grey Delisle, and Kate Micucci, making it as close to a legit Scooby-Doo project as you're ever likely to see again.

It actually doesn't look terrible enough to have been shitcanned in the first place, even if it mainly seems to be trading on memberberries. Those still beat poisonous wokeberries.

Pedowood's end could be the beginning of fresh new ideas and not stupid bullshit such as capeshit or cinematic universe shit. I can say that August 1 will be a great day

The first few seasons of castlevania (when Warren Ellis was working on it) had a few black folk in it and it turned out OK. Mind you the focus was still on characters fans gave a fuck about and Ellis is gone now thanks to those allegations, which AFAIK were never proven or settled either in or out of court.

I'm actually pretty excited for this movie, which is more than I can say for most recent animation (western and anime). It looks fun.

Pedowood is down to the wire with two choices...accept the socialist like demands of its spoiled legions of actors and writers. Or say screw you amd rely on ai to write and deepfake movies and tv for the rest of time.

Funny these people laughed when blue color and "uneducated." People cried at getting replaced by automation (and immigrants) and told them, "learn computers you dumb rednecks." And now the shoes on the other foot and they're the ones facing replacement by automation.

The third option would be to just find non-union people. The sad part is that they could probably find some sad fan that will work for minimum wage just to shit out their Batman or Scooby Doo film. The even sadder part is that he/she would probably produce higher quality than the writers protesting currently.

How anyone can think that any part of Netflixvania was anything other than pure, undiluted shit that craps all over its source material is beyond me.

It was Netflix's Witcher before Netflix's Witcher was a thing.

Well like I said Warren Ellis, who is a legit good writer. (usually) Was giving it his all with what he had to work with. Ellis got top billing,but really that was just so they could attach his name to the project. It still reeks of woketards at Netflix sticking their filthy fat fingers in it, and fucking up what he originally wanted.

I'll have to disagree, Ellis is a one-note hack IMO and most of Netflixvania's problems are due to him not some other woketards fucking up "what he originally wanted". By his own admission his only exposure to the source material was perusing Wikipedia and like he does with everything else, he brought his love for edgy dialogue and hateboner for Christianity into a franchise where it absolutely does not belong.

Are you sure you're not thinking of garth ennis or Mark Millar? or do all Irish/Scottish/northern English comic writers hate religion and love edgelord writing even as they push 40?

Have to agree it doesn't belong in castlevania though. Nobody not even Christianity is immune to criticism but there's a fine line between pointing out flaws and play mocking, and having a stick up your ass about something and attacking it via malicious mocking.

Nah, Warren Ellis is of the same type as Ennis and Millar. With Castlevania the problem is that it's a series where Christianity and the Church always played a pretty pivotal positive role but literally the very first episode has cackling dickhead priests acting like stereotypes written by Richard Dawkins. It even extends to petty, stupid shit like how the shape of the cross isn't effective against vampires because of its holy nature but because vampires can't comprehend complex geometric shapes or something.

This is why I can't take atheism seriously. Warren is so far up his own ass. The others too. Though credit where credit is due, their dedication to not acknowledging Christianity no matter how retarded and petty they come off as, is something to behold.
