It's utterly insane to me that they would consider doing a sequel when the franchise is at the point of utterly irrelevance that even FOX has started promoting newer shows over it even pushing its timeslot of over 20 years and on top of that all the actors are far too fucking old now.

Im not expecting much of anything and it'll probably be Lisa centric slop like the Disney+ specials.

On paper, the point is to not get fucked over as you said. In practice, it's a way for them to basically get job security and better benefits, but only for the "senior" workers. The newbies can cry about it if anything happens to them. Small-scale unions are cliques that you fit into or get ejected from, except you're being ejected from the company because you failed their personal vibe check. For large-scale unions like SAG-AFTRA, they're basically an industry of their own that exists to keep out anyone from the industry that isn't in their clique, and if you want a union member in your project, you need to either use only VAs from their union, or advertise all the non-union VAs to them that you WANT to use, that THEY have to approve. And I think you have to pay them for each non-union VA you use, but it's been a while since I read SAG's clause about that shit so I may be misremembering. How could Fran Drescher do this?

In short; Small unions are cliques so studios would want to unionize to form official cliques, and large unions are mafias without the Italians, which want to legally monopolize their "turf" or if they can't do that, get paid their dues where applicable.

Unions becoming more cronyistic than the corporations they protested, really shows these bastards have no values.

I hate the way Dana draws eyes/irises. Something about it makes them look like they are constantly bugging out of the person's head.

She's trying to emulate the anime look without betraying her Western roots. I think she's actually imitating the Mii eyes, now that I'm thinking about it. (Sorry about the Tiermaker image.)

I say they should pull a Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe and have The Simpsons circa 1996 wind up in present times

If they were smart they should make the movie based on one of the many future episodes to justify the 20 year time gap between the two films and as to why so many of the cast now sound like shit. Shrek is also doing that for its next film.

That's the problem with some "indie" animation, people make their own show but it feels like formulaic nonsense that you'd find that makes it to streaming services or the hinterlands of cable - and we're not even talking about "indie" animation made by ex-Disney corporate hacks that start panhandling on Kickstarter, but supposedly really indie-indie people whose only inspiration seems to be other nonsense that's come before. It is probably why so many of the "pitches" for indie animated projects I've seen are just beanmouth sitcoms about angsty twentysomethings struggling with adulting or furry trash.
 
Recently watched the Ladybug and Cat Noir movie with my GF and was surprised by its quality. The french like to flex their culture and it's kinda neat that Ladybug has pretty much become the de facto superhero of france. One thing that had me rolling was how ridiculously detailed some of the backgrounds in the movie were. Some places looked more majestic than castles in Disney movies, when they were just scans of public buildings i think.
Also they absolutely wreck notre Dame lmao
