He’s like one of the top 10 most beloved and sought after voice actors in America and his website is like a 1996 Angelfire website designed by high school kids I don't know. He did walk away from Doug for a similar reason. Disney ended up spending more money recasting both Doug and Roger than they would have if they just paid what Billy was asking.

I’d love for Watterson to make a comeback or just go hog wild with an internet strip where he isn’t limited. That said the limits were very much what made him breaking them exceptional so who knows.

It's also wild to me how many people I see that are NOT on his side. I'm not surprised, but I am disgusted and disappointed. Like, it's a pretty common thing in a America for news articles to take the side of huge corporations whenever any worker is asking for more composition for their labor in basically any situation, but I hate seeing it every time.

There's still about 12 hours to submit your nominations for this years Top 10 Poll. Apologies, I won't be PM'ing any previous years participants, but hopefully it's been up long enough that people have noticed it.

JFC Disenchantment's writers need to learn how to end a joke properly. I swear that half the jokes just meander on for like twice as long as they reasonably should.

I love how they made Disenchantment right before Game of Thrones self-destructed and nobody cares about it anymore. Like sure its not just parodying Game of Thrones, but I think that was a large part of the plan about what the show was supposed to be.

While Game of Thrones was successful, I was under the impression that it would lead to a bunch of other fantasy projects popping up in the industry. it sure seemed like something like that was going to happen, and I think Disenchanted had the same impression going in. But either that was just a wrong impression, or Game of Thrones had such a bad ending that it not only imploded, but it sucked in the other projects it inspired.

It's incredible it went from a money printing machine to having all its planned spin-offs and prequels completely cancelled because the final season was so poorly received in every possible way

Now these shows have encountered their own production difficulties and been delayed themselves or they've already come and gone, and surely the crashing and burning of GoT hasn't helped, but it has had a big effect.

It probably also helped get Dune off the ground. Not sure if any of those will be good but they’ll at least keep vfx studios busy.

Witcher has some ok moments and good casting despite the loving awful costumes and monster effects. need to still see dune. I want to be hopeful for the prequel because i enjoyed the book its gonna be based on.

Finished Final Space. I don’t think it was a waste to watch, but I also think season 2 was the strongest season and that season 3 didn’t do much to make the titular Final Space feel different from normal space. I overall enjoyed it well enough, but I’m not clamoring for a fourth season or anything.

Youtuber Saberspark discusses that show Fairview, the one with the weird Facebook avatar looking characters that have no legs, and it sounds to be about as garbage as we were thinking. Literally. Apparently they recorded over Zoom, without any sort of actual software to mix it properly so the audio is literally from the zoom call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLJ8WTmsVMQ

So you can produce good looking cartoons while not working your staff to death and more animation studios should start treating their staff with basic humanity and also pay them for their labor.

Big Mouth's design looks good in motion, especially the monsters, and Human Resources is presumably going to expand beyond teenage hormones as well, so it should be a fun watch.

I like Kelly Turnbull but Big Mouth is just hideous. Those character designs are just so awful, and I do not agree that it looks good in motion.

Yeah I mean my first exposure to those drawings was the commercials and the auto play ads that would run after episodes of Bojack, watching them in motion actually highlights SPECIFICALLY what I do not like about the designs.

It watches like a draft for the show then suddenly they shift into a much higher gear. Season 1 is still fine, but it does watch a bit rough and if the quality didn't improve it wouldn't be memorable.
