Pakled posted:I could never get into Reboot. I know it was groundbreaking and I'm sure they were doing the best they could with the technology and budget they had to work with, but I couldn't get past how ugly it was. I've rewatched Reboot relatively recently and I didn't care about the really, really aged CGI. But while it was decent for the time, I agree with the people who think it doesn't need a, er, reboot.

I've actually been wondering for a while if even a straight Reboot reboot would actually be viable these days. The whole concept of the show, that an individual home computer could be depicted/analogized as a city and part of a digital civilization, draws on this idea of cyberspace as a separate alternate world that people could inhabit, free of the limitations and prejudices of the material world. I don't know exactly where this idea came from, but it's an idea that held a lot of sway in ideas about computing and networking through the 1980s and 1990s, and you can see it reflected in cyberpunk and in more philosophical discussions of the field at the time. The way I see it, the problem is that these were ideas that grew up in a time when all these technologies were new and only a tiny number of people used or experimented with them. These days, all this technology has been melted into the fabric of everyday life, and our conception of it has completely changed. The internet isn't a misty utopia anymore; it's in half your home appliances and living there is just a shittier version of everyday life. (Gotta admit, I am curious to see what a kid born after the year 2000, who's grown up with the modern Internet, would make of the show.) Anyway, in less pretentious news, Woolie of the Super Best Friends, a massive Reboot fan himself, is quite aware of these developments, and he is still blocked by YTV's official Twitter feed.

I was sort of imagining a future world where advanced bending techniques have made individual benders more powerful than before, but industrialization and the rise of social media and reddits and so forth have made the highly-spiritual, close-to-nature mindset needed to use that bending rarer and rarer. So you'd have benders who are basically saintly weirdos living in little green enclaves in between the giant skyscrapers and occasionally wandering out to use crazy impossible magic in the middle of a sci-fi setting.

Tiggle Winks is created by Myke Chillian, a guy who worked on uncle grandpa and has worked with Justin Roiland a lot in the past (I think he's on rick and morty now?) Both Craig of the Creek and SCI are confirmed for getting full shows already, while Tiggle Winks' fate is up in the air right now.

It came from the fact that on the internet no one could see you or hear you and you could present yourself as whoever you wanted to be. The whole 'on the Internet no one knows you're a dog' comic writ large. This was long before Facebook or even internet browsers where pictures had to be downloaded over hours if not days, scanners were rare and expensive (digital cameras? What's that lol) and 56K was an unheard of speed. Also most people on the internet were Western white male college educated nerds. I remember the sheer wonder at asking people over IRC what time it was where they were and watching all the different answers scroll by and being amazed that people from thousands of miles apart in different countries could all communicate with each other for free in real time. It was pretty heady stuff when you still paid multiple cents a minute for long distance calls if you even knew anyone to call that far away. Then AOL opened the floodgates, it was Eternal September and the Great Decline began.

Mr Interweb posted:Apologies if I've asked this before, but is there something different about the way kids' brains are wired nowadays compared to when we were growing up? Sure, back in the 90s we had marathons, but they would usually be relegated to holidays or other special events. But none of this poo poo that seems to happen on a goddamned daily basis. I love this dorky show, and 'Despair Bear' is a funny episode, but come on.

Cartoon Network: Oh boy, it's a holiday. Time to remember that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs exists for like a week. E: Oh hey, Powerpuff Girls is doing a Christmas Carol pastiche for its special. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Don't know whether to think of it as quaint or hack. E2: They did a Ghost of Christmas Presents joke. Hack it is. Waffleman_ fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Dec 3, 2017 |

I'm still amazed it got renewed after the special. I was completely sure it had already been cancelled. By the way, that special was a normal 10 minute episode, you can't do A Christmas Carol in 10 minutes!

Course all 13 eps haven't even been aired in Europe yet so I don't know what we were expecting. Just keep in mind the production company has no control over this and don't send nastygrams to Astruc et al. I thought I heard ep 8 was going to be on Spanish tv on the 5th? Was that bogus?

Mind you, episode 8 was supposed to be shown in France at the weekend, but didn't happen. Considering the US Netflix delay as well, I'm wondering if they're behind schedule and struggling to get the animation finished. If that's the case, burning through the first six episodes in a week on TF1 might not have been the best way to go.

Anyway, I'm okay with waiting as long as Netflix also includes the French dub from the get-go because it was a few weeks after release of the first season before all the various dubs were available. Well, I've waited this long, so I'll be alright waiting a few months longer. It's just a bummer.

What the gently caress? https://twitter.com/Thomas_Astruc/status/938054619460141056 Way to go, Disney Channel Espana - don't list a major new episode in your schedule or anything. Maybe 'Despair Bear' is the placeholder text for Miraculous and the intern forgot to change it. Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Incidentally, I've now seen 'Dark Owl' (it had an evening repeat) and it's fantastic, one of the best shows they've done so far. Genuinely funny, but also tense, which isn't normally something you associate with Miraculous. They pull a "holy poo poo, how are they going to get out of that?" not once but twice. And there's a major event (Astruc wasn't kidding) that drat well better affect the ongoing story arc: two characters now know the true identities of both Ladybug and Cat Noir.
