So I watched The Amazing Digital Circus tonight. The animation was pretty good. On the one hand, I really like the style the series has where it looks like a computer game from the late 90's or VeggieTales episodes from that same time period. Pomni is also really cute. On the other hand, the writing feels... for lack of a better word, millennial.

Halloween of horror the simpsons an actually good modern episode of the simpsons even though it's modern by like a decade now.

All the hey arnold scary episodes Arnold's halloween, haunted train. Ghost bride headless cabby, four eyed jack,

I also have childhood nostalgia for these

(MEDIA link embedding not working on mobile will try to fix after work)

Surprisingly the Wolfman crossover is almost 100% true to the actual movie. Probably because it was actually made BY universal but the frankenstein crossover is more the stereotypical cartoony depiction of the frankenstein monster. But the Wolfman crossover actually uses the name Laurence tailbot features the silver cane and even mentions the old gypsy from the 41 version. Even if she's not actually a gypsy.

In honor of Reformation Day I'll post this.

It's simple: In the real world (which X-Men still has as its setting but with mutants), religion exists. Every culture, every society has some form of it. Nightcrawler was raised in a church (think of him as Quasimodo but blue and with a tail), because churches are traditionally sanctuaries, and you expect decent priests and monasteries to practice what they preach. Therefore, part of Nightcrawler's ideology stems from him being raised hidden away by people but still understands he has a soul, and that God is the creator of his soul. He's optimistic for that reason. Logan wanting to find some kind of solace from his trials means that, perhaps, he could try religion to see if that helps, but even if it didn't work for him and it made him angry, he can still recognize it does work for others and leaves it at that.

This is also known as honor, which this comment points out the sad truth:

Honor comes with trust and loyalty, traits which are discouraged or even forgotten within generations in place of "muh fee-fees". It's also something that has many layers that can't just be simple black-and-white terms among adults, and the topic of religion typically corresponds with it.

Nightcrawler's story was written by someone who at least understood that because they knew of God at some point in their life, which was carried on in the '90s script. A Millennial today would not have written something as poignant and nuanced because chances are extremely high among this generation that they abandoned God, or never did know of God due to not attending church. Or they watched Moral Orel or other critical take on religion but took away the wrong message.

It's why I swear by my eye teeth after owl house got popular and started bringing in views Dana basically turned the show into her wish fulfillment fantasy. The characters became dolls in a dollhouse that she shipped and paired up all while pretending to be one of them.

A problem with a lot of hacks working in western animation really. Here we are year after year of hacks turning their old composition notebooks and journals into cartoons all because they can't move on from what should be one of the most insignificant times in someone's life.

One of the biggest problems with a lot of modern writers and the fans is their immaturity and inability to let go.

A lot of those people might be older physically but mentally they’re still the same immature teenagers they were in their youth.
