Das Boo posted:I just got home from our Invader Zim cast and crew screening, but I was drunk for the whole thing. I know I doodled sexy face Membrane on a white board and that somehow made it in, but everything else is Korean BBQ. So loving goddamn dope. I cannot wait for this and I too will be super drunk while I watch it with my brother, whom I watched the series with. Please post sexy Membrane if you can.

DoctorWhat posted:It's okay, IMO. Epilogue is all about Terry being a better Batman, not as bitter, lonely, or compromised as Bruce, because Bruce taught him to be better than he was. I go back and forth on whether that episode is an unforgivably ridiculous retcon or a brilliant deconstruction/reconstruction of the whole superhero origin concept. I lean towards the latter, but possibly in spite of itself.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Beyond extrapolated on a lot of BTAS things, like animal transformations being so common they became a recreational drug. I always thought it was kind of weird they made it out to be a bad thing, given it didn't negatively effect the kids. The episode that always kind of hits me hard was the 'parents freak out and send their kids to what turned out to be a brainwashing facility due to one kid flipping out' - like any kid who didn't fit the outgoing, good kid mold post-columbine had felt the stink eye of teachers who expected the worst. I did like the nice touch of Chelesa's dad trying to apologize but she rightfully storms off past him, because good intentions or not - he had shown he didn't trust her by sending her there in the first place.

Robindaybird posted:I always thought it was kind of weird they made it out to be a bad thing, given it didn't negatively effect the kids. It was the late 90s iirc, still with anything resembling a recreational drug being full on DARE. There was mention later on of a scandal of a celebrity using now-illegal splicers. Would be fun to have a followup storyarc of how everything involving splicers has gotten ten times worse now that they aren't regulated or supervised legally. There was also the episode of a model student who was a Jokerz leader on the side and tried to murder his oblivious academic rival. And the kid who got psychic powers and going to juvie just meant he came back jacked and even more malevolent. Kinda funny given Batman is usually really good by fictional character standards of actually trying to emphasise with teenagers, especially victims of abuse who are brushed off and disbelieved by adults. Even his teenage sidekicks are generally ones who already chose vigilantism to seek revenge or justice for their losses, and he tries to make sure they'll at least be good at it. Probably he'd figure that children don't get to opt out of suffering from crime and violence, so he might as well give them the tools and training to fight back.

yeah. And the Jokerz episode where Max initially thought Terry was the leader because he was the kid who skipped classes, did poorly academically and had a history (when he visit said psychic kid, there was a joke about how he was just visiting) - kind of a quiet condemnation of assuming the kids that fall behind are gonna be the bad seeds.

Guy Mann posted:TAS had some great episodes but for every Heart of Ice you also had one like the little girl crime lord or the dickensian orphans living in the sewers, people forget how une ven it was even in its prime. And there's the entire back half of the show done in a completely different, worse art style that most people just pretend didn't count. Also that one with the giant farm animals written by the howard the duck guy.

Aw man, I know I just posted about having mixed feelings about a Batman Beyond reboot, but now that it's definitely not happening I'm kind of sad. One the brightside, talking about how good Batman Beyond is has inspired me to go back and watch a few episodes. They're good! And just as dark and disturbing as they were when I first watched them as a kid! "April Moon" has a particularly great ending, I strongly recomend it.

I just got back from How to Train Your Dragon 3. It's a good movie but not as good as 2 which was amazing in every way. Everything good about the other films is back here and it's still good overall, so the nitpicks are: The new villain is good but just not as good as Drago. Drago was imposing while serving as the traditional 'dark mirror' to Hiccup, Grimmel is more of a generic 'prepared mastermind'. The pacing seems a bit uneven and seems almost sedate for most of the movie. The writers seemed not to know what to do with Hiccup's friends as they matured. Each of them basically got +1 character trait for the movie. Valka and Astrid seem like they had a scene together and then got cut or something so all they're left with is Valka telling Astrid "you gotta give Hiccup some support and confidence" every twenty minutes.

Robindaybird posted:god April Moon was practically a 30 minute film noir A lot of BTAS episodes were noir as all hell. The 'detective' aspect of Batman can actually go well when you go full noir with it, even the theme where the detective always finds himself humbled in some way by the end of it. Terry can't beat the cyborgs on equal ground and all.

Also random note: I watched the Astro Boy movie on Netflix for the hell of it, it has its moments with Nicholas Cage but feels like a mostly unrelated movie they inserted Astro Boy into for brand recognition, and yet not entirely untrue to its themes. Doesn't help that I've been reading the Astro Boy manga, and it kinda gets jarring going between Silver Age comics-esque sci-fi plots and very serious social themes. The disclaimer about insensitive designs for black people suddenly makes sense with a Japanese-American character explaining to Astro how he observed American racism towards himself fading but still prominent with how they treated black people, and then shifting onto robots once they came around. The guy was writing in the goddamn fifties and has a better perspective on racism than a lot of self-proclaimed progressives today) Definitely a waste of potential. Especially with the X-Men movies doing so well, there's a lot of hay to be made about the various morality plays that Astro Boy has going on. Dr Tenma can be a really interesting character done right; not exactly a Magneto or even a repentant villain, but a man who made a mistake that saved the world so many times over.

You guys, The Boss Baby is really good. The visuals are somehow more zippy and creative than 80% of animated films released in the past decade, the narrative is a really sweet variation on the Pixar patented "two characters don't like each other but have to go on an adventure but oh now they like each other" thing, the naked babies are - well, they're naked babies, and they're the worst thing about the movie But yeah! The screenwriters took the conceit of a child's overactive imagination and used it to tell a faintly ridiculous yet somehow heartwarming story about a boy learning to come to terms with his baby brother. Plus Alec Baldwin really knocks it out of the park - he's downright hilarious in his first scene, and not too shabby afterwards either.

The writing is solid and the animation was well done. The Netflix show... not so much. Convince your kids to watch something else, or just the movie again.

Pretty much every other new villain on that show was an incredibly poorly thought out attempt at extrapolating Teen Problems into a sci-fi supervillain, compared to loud rock music being turned into a sound-based supervillain and a nerdy shut-in being a psychic robot master body modification creating a subclass of monster people is downright restrained.

Pick posted:I was telling everybody that boss baby was pretty good, no one believe me! As I was watching the boss baby I thought "huh, this is a surprisingly good score for an animated film, the slow sad stuff is actually going some interesting places." Then I looked the score up, and it was by Hans Zimmer, and my world was shaken Seriously, how do you go from the swashbuckling mediocrity of the score to pirates of the caribbean to something with this much life?
