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

To break up the waifu shit, I just am saying that the Devil May Cry Netflix show is coming out tomorrow, the one made by Mr. Adi "I hate Christianity" Shankir. And if this clip is anything to go by then I think this is going to be exactly like Castlevania: a huge turd over Western religion.
The fact that these garbage shows are defended by retard niggercattle who never played any of the games (or worse, only played the recent game) is infuriating.
why does asian netflix manages to have good stuff but west netflix can't even make something without controversial or stupid bullshit getting in the work? Is following the fucking source material too much work for these westoids?????:stress:

I'm going to watch it tomorrow, but this scene in a bar with shapeshifting demon that looks like a Vergil made me chuckle. Literally no build up, no suspence, no nothing. It's just there for people to go ''WHOOOOAHHHH THAT'S VERGIL''. Don't even get me started with this slowed + reverb Bury the Light.

Btw 27th season of South Park is coming out in 3 months.
 
you niggers forgot the part of the show where bugs defeated cecil turtle

I think Bugs changing his entire identity to be a badass biker dude because he wore different gloves and Daffy becomes a successful professor straight out of an 80's oscar bait movie because he changed his name to 'Professor Duck' warrants a mention.
Even back then I remember the show being kino as fuck.
The day the earth blew up is kino.
The theater would be a lot less empty if the only theaters playing it weren’t IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

We live in a time where new media is created to be as mass marketable as possible and older pre-existing media is either warped to conform to the ever growing population of tourists in the name of mass market appeal thus smearing their image or taken directly by them through sheer tard force online (RIP gatekeeping).

They're a big factor in how multimedia has managed to become so terrible today, because they engage through stuff at a surface level and thus ultimately don't care about how [X] thing is being managed resulting in its artistic integrity being harmed. Tourists are a plaque upon one's interests and hobbies and they need to be culled.

Name your Cartoon waifu (No anime, even if I want to post about Nami)

Raven.

Fucking goth girls. All my fictional crushes before her came from anime.
Since Raven has already been covered, I will add these DCAU waifus.

Just no point. It is a diminishing returns industry. Sadly, all reports highlight that kids are moving away from Hollywood. Gen Z is looking to be the last generation with any kind of attachment to Hollywood content, including animation.
I’ve been saying this for a while now, but here’s the real issue: Nickelodeon, Disney, and Cartoon Network ditched actual kids ages ago. They’re too busy pumping out Cal-Arts slop for man-children, and Twitter and Reddit just slurp it up because “muh representation” and “muh adult themes.”

Kids are the ones stuck with shows that try to cater to both them and adults, only to fumble the part meant for them because the man-children dominate social media with their loud whining.

Take The Owl House—TV Tropes, Reddit, and Twitter stan it hard, but it’s a poor man’s Little Witch Academia with less charm and way more pandering. Sure, it’s got some magic and adventures that might catch a kid’s eye, but then it piles on sappy romance and preachy politics that only left-leaning adults are cheering for. Kids don’t care about that—they want fun, not lectures. These networks have been neglecting the under-14 crowd for years, and it shows.

Even Adventure Time, which everybody loves, started chasing the college-age crew in its last seasons, leaving the kids in the dust. And Fionna and Cake? That’s straight-up late-20s bait—a main character griping about her barista gig. (Totally relatable to 12-year-old kids.) It’s not just that show, either; every network’s chasing that nostalgia cash now, recycling tired old vibes for adults who can’t move on, instead of cooking up something fresh for the next generation.

Is it any surprise kids are turning to the internet for their entertainment now?

The issue is, most writers these days can only write what they know, and with the pipeline being so fucking homogenized, it’s basically the same exact general experience. There’s no fucking creativity left when everyone just wants to write about themselves and paste a cartoon filter over it.

Like look at Tiny Toons, Looniversity took these characters kids don’t remember in any way, who inexplicably look the exact same as their elementary school selves, and shoved them into college life because it’s what the writers can write about. They even made the two leads siblings because of course they couldn’t write about college love in a kids’ cartoon… yet the issue’s more they were even making a kid’s cartoon about college life to begin with. All the action is just pulled from shit they watched as a kid and all the romance is stuff they either went through or wished they went through.

It’s not animation, yet when talking about this I’m always reminded of the way Marvel Comics made the character Gwenpool asexual. They literally could figure out no other way to write it than having the character upend her entire life living on the mutant island so she could hastily enroll in an NYC college to chase a girl, only for her to realize “something’s wrong” when they tried to have sex, which lead to this literally PSA-tier scene where the girl brings her to the college’s LGBT group so Gwen can be educated on asexuality, because being a woman from the “before times” of… 2015, she literally did not know what it was. Fucking terrible.

I don't even get the point of it. You hype up this fake out in the trailer only to release a teaser that reveals the fake out... Don't you want to wait until you've gotten them to watch the show before you reveal that the bait is bait?

Absolute fucking dogshit. Redditor Dante, Lady written by Vivziepop, US military invaded hell and demons are le immigrants. It's so funny considering that military is shown to be defenceless againts demons in DMC 5. Just say at this point that this is poor man's DmC: Devil May Cry adaptation.

When the reboot game is no longer the worst thing associated with this IP.

I can see a clear pattern with every Adi Shankirs "adaptations".

It's always surfes level, using mostly character designs and a few esthetic choices. Large core elements are cut out just to put in his fan fiction interpretations. In the end the story completely drops the original IP and has his OC's overshadow the main characters who are showed to be completely incompetent idiots.

It's like he took out some action figures from a toy box and started making up bullshit without actually learning anything about the characters he is playing with.
It reminds me of the Resident Evil live action movies where there where some elements from the games but they where overshadowed by the Directors Mary Sue played by his wife.
 
I will admit, I don’t know shit about DMC. But I am already tired of all the usual sperging from that crowd.
“Well having a pure evil race would be problematic and bad writing! You people are never happy! SHUT THE FUCKING FUCK UP AND CONSUME! You can’t just show the world through black and white lenses! Did you even watch the show? You’re getting the wrong message!”
Also, quick shout out to this retard. Guess I should depict all of my demons in turbans, rags, and hijabs now.

In other words narcissism. Too many creators trying to pass their therapy sessions, and fetishes as "cartoons for kids". Talented creators that actually tried to make children happy first are a dying breed indeed.

I would argue part of The Amazing Digital Circus' sucess with kids was in part due to how starved they are for fun content that isn’t lecturing them. Not that TADC didn’t have a literal trans allegory and was made by a trans author. But as of this post they have been eating a somewhat dark show with colorful characters, fun adventures, and dark humor like candy.

“Well having a pure evil race would be problematic and bad writing! You people are never happy

A lot of modern writing advice and “wisdom” is actually terrible in a vacuum and is simply smugness, implying they know better than the people before them. Pure evil races can be lazy writing. But sometimes hordes of villains that can be slaughtered without remorse by the heroes are exactly what works best.

Case by case. Neither Doom nor DMC need an “actually, demons are misunderstood. Feel bad about the widows of the child-eater demons you mercilessly killed, you chud!”

Its kind of incredible how tone deaf and genuinely moronic the people making this shit are. Your trying to make everyone feel "bad" for the military bombing the fuck out of FUCKING DEMONS!!!

If anything, its one of the best recruitment ads for the military I have ever seen. Shame its all done "ironically".

OK if that had no context, was not associated with the dogshit adaptations by the poojab who desecrated castlevania and now dmc (right on down to being a "forever stuck in the 2000s" mentality of "us military bad! They bomb middle east! No blood for oil!") And was just a random fan edit if. American idiot over animation of jets bombing hell. (I legit thought IT WAS a fan edit this is in the actual show?) That scene would be a guilty pleasure. It's like a tenmu version of pearl jam's evolution music video. And I said a TENMU version, Im not comparing them.
