Got to see the kpop animated recently, did not completely hate it, but the choppy framerate is real weird. When did that become a trend? I think I've seen it in at least one video game too 🤔

Into The Spiderverse kickstarted the trend. Choppy framerates has been a thing for some time but ITS was the catalyst that exploded it beyond recognition around the early 2020s. Some movie studios (most notably Dreamworks) began adopting it and that a bunch of quirky animators/game developers began relying on it to make their animations look cooler or whatever. Which they do, by the way. Sometimes choppy can be as interesting to see visually as buttery smooth Disney animations.

The concept of an imaginary friend of this nature is referenced once, though not discussed. A short comic in Cartoon Network Block Party #31 shows a kid who imagined a nicer, hotter version of Frankie being forced to give her up for adoption because she upsets his parents. I don't know why they wrote this, because it would seem to suggest that it is in fact possible (if only for certain precocious adolescents) to imagine a living, breathing sex doll into reality. This seems like the sort of thing that a writer's room would want to avoid.

Edit: Despite appearing in order when I try to edit, the thumbnails of the comic below seem to be out of order. I don't think I can change this; you guys should be able to figure it out.

Well at least we know incells don't exist in foster's home. In a world where you can create your own cafe maid/waifu with your mind why would you be one?

When Disney was making Wreck-It Ralph, the animators practically had to rewire their brains for the Nicelanders (and sometimes Felix and I think Ralph once) because they skip frames for that 8-bit movement. And The LEGO Movie had to look stop-motion, which was a real super cool detail.

So this was definitely a trend in the works that I'm not surprised by it.

I also could have sworn I remembered one food imaginary friend getting eaten upon conception. Apparently I wasn’t wrong.

YEAH that totally happened and it was so fucked up. There were imaginary friends that hid in the hallways of Foster's that were dreamed up by kids at a fat camp. It's just so creepy, and brings to mind "why don't starving kids in africa imagine food friends and not starve?"
That's a flaw of the original show imo.

All 52 episodes of the 2010s Micronauts animated series have leaked online.

I understand a pilot, or 5, maybe 10-12 episodes on an unpromising show that the higher-ups didn't want to even recoup some losses on due to some personal grievance or copyright problem, but 52 whole episodes, 2 seasons, do we know the reason why this was thrown in the vault?
