The Nick Knacks animation episode I'm most eagerly awaiting is Spartakus and The Sun Beneath The Sea - a really odd French action cartoon that I remember watching a lot of when I was small but barely anything about it.

I gotta say that 70s-looking French anime has left a deep impression on me from the Mysterious Cities of Gold weir sing me out as a kid. I’m really looking forward to that one and want to see Spartakus now.

On the subject of Nick Knacks, is it only covering early Nick or are there plans to keep it going all throughout Nick history? I really like this series and that channel as a whole.

I noticed he complains a lot about how the new films fail to criticize capitalism, but is that really something they were attempting? I know Disney has made some statements about how they were being progressive with the gay Lefou thing and so on, but I don’t recall them ever promising to attack capitalism specifically, so why expect them to?Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean i think he also relizes hard on just "they are doing it because late capitalism" which is true but idk. . also i kinda wish he would give some ideas of solutions other than the usual "do it your self, i am just a lecturer" in the comments. i don't know. he just kinda rubs me the wrong way with tone or something and i don't even think he is wrong at all, least not really. i guess its because i have had professors like him and they sucked rear end. like i don't like capitalism but i don't think every millionare is evil and while he is arguing from systemic point, he isn't really. idk. i am loving terrible in expounding in writing. i guess i feel like he can't see the trees through the forest. That comment came across as pointlessly smug to me. Obviously he’s not going to be able to respond to every comment and he’s not obligated to respond to any of them, but if he’s going to put his opinions out there for the public to listen to he should at least be prepared for people to offer their own.

I know Disney has made some statements about how they were being progressive with the gay Lefou thing and so on, but I don’t recall them ever promising to attack capitalism specifically, so why expect them to? yeah like what exactly is he looking for. like yeah disney isn't gonna make a pro socialist film or one that tears themselves a new rear end in a top hat. my argument would be "late stage capitalism commodities everything and one of the easiest ideals to comidify is nostalgia. so they are gonna try to milke every dime from boomers and millennials meanwhile doing dumb jokes at their expense" also yeah quote:Please don't write a comment that amounts to "Debate me!" and especially don't write multiple comments to spam my section. If you can't imagine a world without capitalism, that's called Capitalist Realism. If you want to know more, read the book of the same name. If you want to know more about what the world could be like post-capitalism, Google "post-capitalism" and start there. I'm an educator and a former classroom teacher. That means I'm a lecturer, not an individual tutor. If your comment is "Oh yeah? Then what do YOU think we should do?" then you're probably not asking in good faith because if you wanted to learn, there are infinite resources at your disposal outside a comments section. If you ask it that way, what you really want is (specifically) me to perform for you. like yeah, he comes off as smug prick. like yeah gently caress the bad faith actors but a real educator does help you out by giving you ideas of what can be done better and how to fix it or at least ides, thats the nature of criticism, its not just "thing bad" but in a macro sense. what sucks is some of his other essays are alright even good but he definitely views everything in macro sense, which isnt always helpful. like yeah systems are alot of the problem but bad individuals are too and those people make the system worse or better. I don't know why i am so irritated by this video. I am starting to wonder if his teaching style is part of the reason he is "former" teacher.

Bakeneko posted:I don’t recall them ever promising to attack capitalism specifically, so why expect them to? I don't think he's expecting them to at all - he's illustrating a point about their intentions. To the uncritical eye, having a villain be a rich rear end in a top hat might seem like a critique of capitalism, but looking closer it's clear that this is undercut by things like the "nice millionaire" characters he used as an example. Disney wants to both be a mega-conglomerate hoovering up other media companies AND a beloved family brand that can do no wrong, so they use deceptive tactics in their media to keep the gravy train rolling.

With visual novels, you have Clannad (which is also the name of 70s Irish band), and Bible Black (which comes from King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black). There's a NES game called Holy Diver, after the Ronnie James Dio song. The Game Gear version of Double Dragon has a boss that references members from the band from Skid Row (though I think that one wasn't developed in Japan). I know there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

The band Rival Schools was formed long after the N64 had come out, so it's pretty clear that the band was named after the game and not the other way around.

Well in that case, I know there's a couple other music groups that have names based off video games, but again, I can't think of any off the top of my head, and I dunno how many of those are that prominent.
