I remember being interested when the concept art dropped but stopped paying attention around the time it started being dubbed... was it bad? The shorts were pretty funny.

I love Villainous. It has a lot of SOVL and reminds me of older CN shows. Don't watch the English dub though, watch it in Spanish with eng subs if possible.

Looks like it might be going Indie with a spin-off as I guess the creator retained the rights:

Sorry for any poor translation:

From the world of Villains comes: Bonds of Thieves, an action-comedy about Elizabeth Easton, aka Illuminarrow, a rookie villain trying to make a living in the honorable business of villainy and crime.

This project is now in production, and we hope to bring you the first episode by the end of the year (if Lord Black Hat lets us) on our official YouTube channel.

Oh nice we get to see more of Ghoul. I wonder if we will get to see Penumbra and Sunblast as well. I miss Dr. Flug though, I wish we could get the rest of the main series.

Speaking of that show does anyone remember the crossover they had with Mexican gravity falls

There was a Mexican Gravity Falls? What was it called?

Dragon Ball Z.

Victor and Valentino. I saw like one or two episodes and I don’t remember shit.
I’m pretty happy for him though, getting to keep the rights to his work after so many other stories of creators getting fucked over by the networks. It’s been decades, but I’m still sad that Nickelodeon did Making Fiends so dirty.

OG Magneto's outlook on humanity and the future of mutants was founded on past experiences in his life. But he was also very abusive, megalomaniacal and domineering to other mutants and also wanted to conquer the world in his own image. So while his past is tragic, ultimately hes still a villain whos plans for both mankind and mutants needed to be stopped. In the one timeline where Magnus took over the world, you still had class division and castes of mutants above other mutants, so the problem doesn't really fucking fix itself. Even if you restrict it to the movies themselves, Magneto thinks of lesser mutants not in his inner-circle as pawns. Hes completely willing to kill a mutant child and Wolverine. Magneto at his best shouldn't be some martyr figure who can completely deconstruct humanity, because thats just fundamentally ignoring the laundry list of war crimes and personal faults.

Excellent point. Magneto being a Holocaust survivor wasn't a thing when Stan Lee was still writing for Marvel, it was a product of a subsequent writer post-1968.

Thinking about it, there's wider differences between individual mutants than there are with normal people. Heck it's impossible to see mutants having (fake) solidarity from simply being mutants. If normal people constantly have conflict with one another, it's no different for mutants either.

I had zero hope for this, none at all. But seeing art of dale (rip johnny) wearing some apple thing on his head shows me exactly where this show is going to go. It will be like futurama but worse.

Dale would never, in a million years, obscure his paranoid eyes with an eye-tracking VR headset. Let alone use a vape.

I can tell the whole season will just be "modern times, amiright???"

If Dale gets brought back for a season of Modern Times, the obvious arc would be for him to become convinced that LLMs have achieved sentience because he gets stuck in a confirmation loop while chatting with and probing it. The gimmick being that Dale starts sounding smarter and more reasonable to the rest of the gang the more he uses the LLM's arguments.

The consequences of attempting to do the minority victim bit with a comicbook supervillain, making him feel schizo. Then again, he's like 80?

Also, what has been up with all of these 2020s animated series revival shows having references to delivery drones. "It's the modern day, so one detail we'll add are jokes or references to something that hasn't really come to fruition and comes off as more dated to reference than Google Glass."

As a long time Francophile, I've always been interested in French stuff especially in the animation department France was and still is best in the European department since they're basically the only ones doing it nowadays.

France is one of the few places on earth where they still know how to fucking draw things.
France and Japan. (and maybe Belgium, idk.)

I forgot about Tintin and the smurfs, but both of those are mainly comics with animated adaptations coming later.

Apparently a pitch bible for a unmade Wild Thornberries Reboot got leaked.

And well...

Maybe it was for the best that it was scrapped...
