Basically the people working in PPG 2016 don't care at all about the show they're working on except in how it'll look on their resumes for future projects

There was a bit on QI about the fear of spiders being more dangerous than the actual spider venom, because it'll make people freak out and cause accidents.

Basically this is malicious anti-arachnid fearmongering. I'd be more worried about the ants or jellyfish or snakes.

The thing that really seems off to me is that there's nothing in that trailer that demonstrates why the show would be appealing to an actual kid who isn't driven by nostalgia.

Does it even need to be appealing? I didn't hate the Magic School Bus as a kid, but I sure never really enjoyed it. It was "that cartoon my science teacher makes us watch occasionally"* back in elementary school. I suspect this will be used much the same way: pop an episode on and force kids to learn even if they don't want to.


*every time I think about watching videos in class I think of that John Mulaney bit about teachers showing videos to avoid work.

Clearly Professor Utonium forgot to write down his exact formula for creating perfect little girls and when trying to duplicate it he accidentally added way too much Chemical X.

Hmmm...
I half expect it to be about the girls making a fourth one of them, and design it so that 'She's Tough' and 'Cool Looking' and 'Our Best Friend", and while at first it's fun and cool, she ends up boringly flawless and keeps one-uping them. Eventually they get upset and don't like her anymore, and the fourth one (who shall be called something like Sparkle-puff) ends up sacrificing herself and then the girls feel bad. They erect a statue in her honor, and from then on is never spoken of again.

Remember, the motto of the show is 'The path of least resistance'.

It's been pretty impressive at how quickly they've pissed away every drop of goodwill the PPG revival had.

Probably doesn't help that they don't seem to have any of the original people behind it, who'd long moved on.

Well at least her name follows the name convention the original three(as well as both Bunny and Bullet from the original series) follow; name that starts with a B and has a double consonant in it

Bullet was a squirrel they gave Chemical X to and made an honorary member*(weird thing about it was in it's debut appearance they called it a girl, but in it's second episode they consistently called it a boy)

*kinda like how in Kids Next Door they made a skunk into a member of the team who showed up a couple times, or the episode of Dexter's Lab where Dexter turned an injured turtle in a super cyborg(come to think of it, woodland critter getting injured and getting super powers in the recovery process happens a lot in Cartoon Network series)

It got renewed for season 2 before the first episode even premiered. However I don't believe it's been renewed for a season 3. I think CN is going to try and sweep this one under the rug.

Okay kids show thread help me out. Why in the Sun and Moon anime does Ash now have those dumb zig zags under his eyes? What are they? Are they supposed to be lovely facial hair? Some weird indicator of where his cheeks are? Why are they there?? I hate them. I hate how the Pokemon anime looks now in general

He's always had zigzag eyes, I guess you just didn't notice before.

The animation is absurdly smooth and lively, but the stills of faces I see (especially on Ash) just feel so off.

SlothfulCobra

It's either to show his cheeks being darker like they're flushed, or it's to give like dimensionality to his face. Seems like one of those things that's more an artifact of linework that they could get across better in coloring.

Or maybe his face is just all scuffed up and dirty because he's still a kid and has gone 20 years without a bath.

Tons of new Miraculous details coming out now that season 2 is only a couple of months away. They seem to have dropped the specials (Halloween, China and New York) for now as there's no mention of them in the S2 promo; instead they're doing a two-parter ('The Heroes' Day') and a three-parter ('Battle of the Queens').

Also confirmed: Chloe, Alya and Nino all get Miraculouseseses to become Queen B, Rena Red and Carapace; Master Fu is either going to retire or die because Nino gets his Miraculous, with Marinette apparently becoming the new guardian of his box o' kwamis; there are (French) celebrity guest stars doing voices for two villains; about a dozen new kwamis have been revealed in concept art; Adrien's mother is shown as the holder of the Peacock Miraculous; Ladybug and Cat Noir get toy-friendly alt-modes - er, new powers and costumes; Princess Fragrance, Reflekta and Horrificator will make return appearances, with Gabriel, the mayor, Penny, Gorilla (and possibly, based on the villain forms, Natalie and Marinette's dad) all being akumatised. Just to gently caress with the "is Gabriel really Hawk Moth or not?" question even further after he was confirmed as an akuma victim, there's a shot of the Collector inside Hawk Moth's chamber, the first time anyone but him has been seen there...

I'm looking forward to the return of this goofy-rear end French cartoon way more than I should be. :smith:

I feel like the fourth Powerpuff Girl thing being shown as a single movie rather than the weeklong bomb it was clearly meant to be, and it not being promoted on the network at all until a week before is basically the final nail in the coffin for the reboot.

Who loving knows at this point if they're continuing to funnel seasons and money into it just out of spite and/or habit at this point. None of the other 2016 era shows have lasted as long as NuPPG and with how little the network cares about actual television ratings, it might have as big of a cult following/hate following as OG TT had back in the day, but for app viewings. I sure as hell don't know and don't have the means to use it at this point.

And speaking of that, did they ever do anything with Apple and Onion, Craig of the Creek and Summer Camp Island or did those get shitcanned?
