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

It looked at Disenchantment and said "hold my beer!".
I'm saying this as a not white person. neon colors look awful on brown skin.
I even knew this as a young dirt child when I saw my big sister dye her hair pink, this wasn't racism guiding my correct judgment, it was my heart.
the minute I saw her walk out of a Walmart hair salon with a 30 dollar pink hair dye, I grew to hate the glitter mud people.
it just naturally disgusts people in the same way seeing rainbow glitter on a mud puddle.

don't get me started on how if it's some brown person making anything,
the main antagonist is going to be white. I didn't even watch that shit to know this is already fact.

fucking brown people can't help themselves
a PURE white guy.

Oh dear God no, 4chan’s /co/ is going to become even more radioactive than it is now.

Here’s hoping it ends up as the Rainfurrest 2016 of animated pilots and people send letters about how toxic the fandom is and that no major platform picks it up.
 
Not sure if it should go there. I checked in with Space Battles to see what they thought of the Zootopia 2 trailer, expecting some embarrassing takes... And they are. I also discovered the word "copaganda".
How much brain-melted must you be to hate your only line of defense against murderous, armed perps that much? It explains many things about the animation industry if that's how Californians think.
Funnily enough, the one most vocal about copaganda was kicked out of the thread for being too autistic about it.
These retards should know better that the replacement for law enforcement will be something like Cheka, only worse. It was tried before, and yet people refuse to learn from history.

Wow the one webseries that made fandoms toxic and the one who made blackwashing and trans headcanons popular is now trying to cash in on cartoon pilots almost a decade after it ended.
I wish it just remained dead but now the current queen of retarded fandoms (Hazbin faggot-tel) is producing it.
the state of angloshpere animation.

That's because brown is the anti-neon.
Neon thrives on contrast, that's why so many things paired with neon (neon lights, glow-in-the-dark stuff, laser tag, raves) are on black or very dark blue. I think that principle makes neon work on black people, but they need to lean into the contrast. You can't just have dirty-ass Hot Cheeto Red weave in your grown-out braids and rock the look, that's ghetto. These looks off of pinterest are thought out, high contrast, and done well:

(and on white models so I'm not cherry picking)

Problem is, in animation and in real life, most things aren't contrasty enough to make neon work.
If they wanted to make a neon cartoon with brown people they should've made it as contrasty and stylish as Urbance or Spiderverse:

The problem is they pussed out and didn't push anything hard enough. They do that all over in animation, they make everything blobby and safe and mediocre. If they actually pushed the colors, maybe like...

Obviously it's still blobby brown lesbians, I'm not redrawing the whole scene, but it looks way better imo. The neon colors pop because there's a lot of dark to contrast it! Plus, darkening the scene and leaving the important elements (the starry sky, the main characters) bright makes them stand out while less important shit fades into the background. I don't know when "put more detail into the most important things and less into the less important things" became arcane knowledge, but here we are.
 
That's because brown is the anti-neon.
my schizoid theory is they read the top and go
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BROWN IS THE ANTI-ANYTHING? BROWN CAN WORK WITH EVERYTHING YOU RASCIST"
then they ignore everything you just posted beyond "Brown is the anti-" and we get the left image, instead of the right.

What are your guys' thoughts about the recent cartoon reboots and revivals, like Phineas & Ferb, King of the Hill, Fionna & Cake, etc.? I personally think that they are all very mediocre and slop worthy, just not as unbearably cringe as shit like the Proud Family Reboot, She-Ra, and Teen Titans Go.

I just want new shit, already, but what's the point if all the new stuff is the exact same brand of slop as all the poorly reheated reboots?

There's a clear quality of fakeness surrounding many of these reboots as well, like you can tell where the edges were sawed off just enough to not offend the usual suspects.
 
Oh dear Lord, I just realized something:

Comic-cons are going to get so much worse thanks to the return of under-18s poorly cosplaying as the characters, especially the trolls.

The visions of a shared communal bucket filled with spit and walls smeared with unsealed grey body paint flood the mind like an unholy nightmare once more.

Phineas and Ferb and Fionna and Cake were all actually pretty good, I haven't seen the KOTH one yet and I'm scared to watch it in case it shits on the original.
