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

[Cave Fisher]

This is not an anime. It does not belong on Toonami. Get it off the fucking block and stop dumping children's shows on a midnight block. If you just want to dump it onto HBO, then just do it and stop tormenting me like this. Holy fuck I hate Warner Bros.

HBO would just turn it into lost media after one season, and CN, where this SHOULD have been, is just barely, desperately coasting on its brand recognition to stay alive, same reason they put that one superman show on Adult Swim despite it seeming pretty clearly meant for kids.

 

[ENDTOPII]

Actually the premise is that both men and women are unhappy and incomplete without each other so they need to be brought together.

Well, isn't that the same premise but more general? I just focused on the intro of my linked clips.

It was one of my favorites Lucky Luke's because it was so silly and visually distinct.

Maurice De Bevere style is pure kino, and I'm MATI that there is nothing similar to that style.

Also, for the meme analyses meta
> depicted gooners making retarded reddit excuses for their gooncaves goon-smokes
> *nose check on that (((indian))) making the smokes
> you got crossdressers
> the pricetag detail when women thinks/imagines an object


Maurice De Bevere was a man truly ahead of his time

 

[Papa stink]

Weren't they treating Primos like Satan incarnate just a few months ago?

The answer is astroturfing and shills. It's why the prequel memes subreddit went from shitting in the sequels to defending Disney Wars slop.

You said "men not getting married = civilizational collapse" that just not what's happening. The men only town is running just fine, exept most guys stopped bothering to put the day clothes on. The men feel bad about the lack of ladies and know that without the next generation their town is doomed but that's about it. Both separate genders groups are functional but unhappy.

Also this what the comic ends on.

At least someone said it.

 

[Chromeo]

God damn Twitter has garbage taste, they were gassing up Primos because of this clip and it's just ugly

Ah, a technoswing song begging to get an online edm remix. Of course. It's still ugly as sin and from a shitty show but it is, unfortunately, kind of catchy.

 

[Anonitolia]

late, but am I missing something with The Wild Robot? It's absolutely beautiful and I wouldn't call it bad, but I hated the dialogue with a passion. It reeked of that "millennial writing" disease so hard that I was expecting bathos during serious emotional moments (as example, when Bright Bill was starting to get the hang of flying I genuinely expected him to end up bumping into a tree or comedically failing somehow immediately after the music's crescendo) and couldn't get invested. The stock lines about being different and loving yourself for who you are also rung hollow when they were peppered throughout a plotline ostensibly about assimilation and how you need to find where you belong or you will feel lost and sad.

Spoiler: spoilery elaboration

A lot of the plot seemed a bit contradictory, really. There was lots of stuff about being unique and who you should be instead of who others want you to be, but the story's climax sees everyone returned to "where they're supposed to be" (Roz to the other robots, Bright Bill to a flock), without much unique about them remaining save for the occasional visit to one another or Bill's stunted growth (and this is treated as a good ending).
Roz was also supposed to leave the island and everyone she loved behind... three separate times, with each time being treated as a huge big-deal thing by the music and the plot, but the first two were fake-outs so the third didn't seem real until the credits rolled.

There was a lot of awkward pacing as well? I suppose that's just a kids-movie thing. Within the first 20 minutes Roz already knows how to speak to every animal, and every animal knows how to speak to each other, but apparently not well enough to understand a gosling's chirps or a fox's yips. Roz's transition from "pure unfeeling robot that speaks only in binary" to "feeling robot that speaks in human" felt like it came out of nowhere, with her manner of speech only changing after a scene which took place after a timeskip.
This was especially impressive in a movie that felt twice as long as it actually was.

It seems like it went through a fair amount of production troubles, which definitely shows in the final product, and it's a real shame. The fact that it still managed to come out looking as gorgeous as it did is a testament to its craft.

The movie truly is beautiful, to the point where it overcomes enough narrative flaws with that alone to be worth watching, but I found the dialogue unbearable and the plot lacking. It's definitely good for kids, all the ones in the theater were laughing and smiling along with it in a way that i haven't seen in a long while, but i feel like any kid over the age of 8 or so would get disinterested in the movie itself (not the visuals) pretty quickly.

Rewatching the trailer: it was so much better than the actual movie. Made me feel truly moved instead of irritated or in mild awe. Sucks balls that it would've arguably been better as a feature-length tech demo with music than as an actual movie.

In other words, I'm not gonna see it. Not even worth the effort to pirate.

I'm going to drop an not so obscure, but somehow it goes under the radar. Lucky Luke

To spice this discussion up, let's take a look at the plot of "La Fiancée de Lucky Luke" (Lucky Luke's engagement/bride).


A childrens show depicting the "men not getting married = civilizational collapse" meme as the start of an episode is very thunk provoking to say the least, if we compare it to modern "cartoons".

Archive, can't find an english speaking version.

Spoiler: More versions

Swedish version

Local archive, just in case.

Any thoughts?

My first thought was that "Coscinny sure like to reinvent his stories when working with Morris"... But i see he wasn't involved in this one.

[Trollblade69]

Watching Twelve Forever because of a persistent Evangelion-themed image dumper on Hilda threads, 20 episodes in.
Where is the joke Dobson. Reggie couldn't be further from Asuka's character. Asuka's dilemma is that she wants to be seen as grown up for the sake of her wants and self-esteem after a traumatic upbringing, while Reggie here is someone who's stubbornly clinging to childhood habits and memories while expressing a desire to live in Never-Neverland every available opportunity. Why the fuck won't the mods ban that autist?

Oh, and the show itself is meh. I feel like this was never adopted by CN for good reason - it's an extremely "been there, done that"-feeling show, generally coming off like a more kid-friendly version of Adventure Time and lacking any of the really good jokes or stand-out characters that helped that show carry itself. If it weren't for the /co/ autist, all I'd remember of this show would be that Pit from Smash Bros is voicing the male lead.

that and it's creator stalked a child for a day, posted about it on Instagram which got the show canceled.

Doesn't surprise me knowing how bland this whole show was...

1. it's a street shitter

2. They've been in the series for a while (2005 Curse of the Were-Rabbit), in fact one of them is a side character in the Telitale games who owns a shop

The fact that Telltale made a fucking Wallace and Gromit game is killing me. Does 'Wallace will remember this.' show up if you pick up the wrong kind of cheese at the market?

Bro, almost none of the choices you make in Telltale matters. You either get the shitty ending, or the even shittier ending regardless. That's their gimmick.
