It really was superb. I enjoyed the first batch of episodes, but the second batch was just gorgeous animation, incredibly fast pacing, and I loved how unafraid it was to give its characters baroque, extended dialogue where other shows might just drown the viewer in snappy quips. The extremely horny scene with Skeletor and Evil-Lyn was the only sour spot for me, mostly because it was just extremely silly and the "she uses her sex appeal to manipulate him!" routine felt atonal to an otherwise pretty pop culture feminism-forward show, and also it got really horny in a way that also felt pretty atonal. I mean, kiss that bone man, girl, I'm not judging that, just the whole femme fatale thing felt cheesy in an unfun way. But everything else was good to great and just genuinely sugary-sweet superhero excellence.

Yeah, the part where Lyn mounts Skeletor and he starts touching her stomach and they both start making dick jokes was the point where I was like "Too far! Too far! TOO! FAR!" but thankfully it ended basically immediately right there and the real point of the scene took over, but yeah that is one of the few clunker notes in an otherwise really well done show.

https://twitter.com/Azul_Yellow/status/1463959285331861514?s=20 Hey what if we took an already mediocre cartoon with garbage-tier writing and made it live action, thus removing the one thing people agreed was good about it. Surely this will go well.

Has there been any indication that chud whining has actually been indicative of He-Man doing worse than expected? Because that would be a shame.

Not sure how well Revelation and the CG series have actually been doing in terms of ratings/sales but I seem to recall the She-Ra reboot from a few years back doing pretty well despite similar whining from much of the same people.

Hiro Protagonist posted:Has there been any indication that chud whining has actually been indicative of He-Man doing worse than expected? Because that would be a shame. Netflix is pretty opaque with how shows are really preforming, but both halves of Revelation landed in the top 10 in various categories in their first week since their debuts. CGI He-Man seems to preforming vastly better, being a full-on kids show and all, but Revelation seems like it’s doing well enough as it is. Reaction to part 2 on Twitter and Reddit so far has been like 80-20 people loving the poo poo out of it vs. people who were absolutely brainbroke by this show. So I’ll be surprised if it isn’t green lit for more seasons at this point, because despite their screaming and hollering, chuds’ ability to actually claim media scalps is woefully impotent. Just look at the tantrum they threw over Cowboy Beebop and that show has yet to leave the worldwide top 10 since it’s debut.

The difference is that this is good whereas Cowboy Bebop is terrible. I liked the last episode as a kind of 'what if your parents were rich and indulgent and you had absolutely everything?'

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion, but frankly I actually liked it? I don't know if that's because went in with low expectations. It's not because I only vaguely remember the anime, since I watched all of it before the new series. There's definitely some stuff to improve, but honestly I've watched (and liked) worse.

That actually kind of seems to be the general consensus from what I've seen. If you compare it 1:1 to the anime, it's beyond abysmal, but the more divorced you are from the anime in terms of either having not watched it, watched it a long time ago, or are just able to otherwise mentally partition it off on its own, then it seems to be more enjoyable.

The chud-driven shitshow over The Last Jedi made Disney and LucasFilm legitimately panic and make Centrism: A Star Wars Story to try an appease everyone and it failed. Thankfully, they took their lesson from it and have since learned to ignore the musty creeps with serial killer rooms full of action figures and funkopops and their fanbase consisting of a few hundred thousand people diffused across the globe. Kevin Smith made the mistake of telling one of the Head Idiots of QAnon, But For Cartoons to shut his ignorant mouth on Twitter and watch the show first before bitching about it, and that what was set off the firestorm, because these folks are professional victims, and a hit dog will howl.

I'm pretty sure TRoS was a mess for more reasons than just overreacting to chud whining, though I will admit that Disney is indeed dumb enough to respond to them, see also firing James Gunn because of literal nazis whining.

Chud/regressive whining hnot affecting anything is a better law than the Standard Model.

Chudd's whining never hurts viewership. But evil conservative executives that grind orphans into cigars and have epstein's corpse on speed dial use it as "proof this was never going to work" so they can punch their minority workers in the face and tell them they'll have them killed if they ever say that happened.

The Ghost and Molly McGee put its holiday special on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rt3jE0dQSE I feel like if they're going this hard on Hannukah, I feel like I want the show to end up doing an episode on Yom Kippur and see Molly destroyed by having to accept that her friend has a sad holiday. I'm really impressed how the show has hooked me. It's got a similar amount of relentless positivity to Wander Over Yonder, but with a powerful manic energy that verges on a little dark comedy that reminds me most of Mao Mao. It's very expressive. But what really sucked me in is the music. Like I was expecting to just never bother checking out the show, but the theme song alone kinda sucked me in, and in the rest of the show, there just keeps being great songs. Ashley Burch is really great at singing, and the songs are fantastic, apparently Rob Cantor of Actual Cannibal Shia LeBouf has done some work on the music. They're good tunes, but the lyrics also rhyme really well and are great at slipping comedy back in, both in recitatives and in-line with the rhythm and flow of the rest of the song. "Your love is all backed up / and I'm your emotional prune" is a masterpiece of a line, an excellent joke and it really slides into your brain because it's following a rhyming scheme that the entire rest of the song set up.

About a week ago I started once again what's essentially become a semi-annual ritual of watching through all of Gargoyles(well at least through Season 2 anyways) and just finished Season 1 and yeah it's still overall really good even if the two episodes involving The Pack* are probably it's weakest in terms of writing(not helped their debut episode being one of the few times that Gargoyles being set in the 90's feels dated rather than how it usually feels like it aged relatively gracefully into a period piece, and their second one not only having the incredibly toyetic plot tumor of the Pack Helicopter and it being then turned into a Gargoyles Helicopter but also the fact that Derek Masa in that episode kind of comes off as an obnoxious chode) and Macbeth's debut episode being infamous for how badly animated it is(including some very blatant recycling of pitch reel and test pilot animation) *it really doesn't help that in their two season 1 appearances and in their first season 2 appearance(the season premiere "The Leader of The Pack") The Pack don't really come across as being remotely resembling a real threat at all outside of Coyote, it's not really till they get upgraded later in the season that they become anything worth mentioning

Just watched season 2 of Centaurworld. It was really fun, I especially liked Stabby/Phillip Bonecrusher's arc. I also really liked the Nowhere King's backstory as his Elk half loses more and more of himself in his desperation to create somewhere he can belong, resulting in the mess that is the Minotaur army. Just that shot of his face as his flesh sloughs off more and more as he erodes himself to nothing with unstable magic was great. BioEnchanted fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Dec 9, 2021 |

The big sci-fi concept that he successfully split apart his elk half and his human half, but they were both independent copies of the same person, and the human half instantly betrayed the elk half to chase his dreams? One person who was impossibly cruel to himself, and as a result started an endless war? Completely rules.

rewatching Avatar the Last Airbender, which I first watched about four or five years ago before the Blu-Ray edition came out. There are a lot of good moments I might've missed the first time around, like the moment in "The Warriors of Kyoshi" where someone in a crowd foams at the mouth and faints at Aang's airbending trick where he floats a marble between his palms and moves it in a circle, and the transition between a villager telling a fisherman the Avatar has arrived on Kyoshi Island, the fisherman telling a fish seller, the fish seller telling a Fire Nation cook, and the cook telling Zuko and Iroh.
