what happened to the other Rescue Rangers? Wasn't there supposed to be, like, an actual cartoon reboot of the old cartoon, featuring the big moustache mouse and the geek gurl mouse and... the fly?

Monterey Jack has a crippling cheese addiction, Gadget still missing. If I had to guess I'd say she's in the eastern block, by which I mean dead, although not necessarily in a grave.

that's celebrity voice acting for ya!

(and to the credit of both of them, the studio doesn't want them to do character voices. They want them both to noticeably be themselves, so that parents recognize them and go "hey that's the guy I like" so that they know they should enjoy it.

having actually watched the trailer now, (a) god that looks horrible, and (b) it kind of seems like Mulaney and Samberg are just playing themselves, with unrelated cartoon chipmunks on screen

Chip being hand-drawn and Dale being CGI is an interesting idea but the trailer itself wrung all the novelty out of it that really exists

literally the only reason I am at all interested in this is because there were leaks that said that it will have the ugly CGI Sonic as a gag in it and I am curious to see what they do with that, if the leaks are real ofc

I remember the fall of 07, so after the last HP book had come out, and the women in my friends circle were all talking about Twilight. I felt like I was in an after credit scene where they introduce a new villain.

Yes specifically NYC was trying to integrate some school districts. So they lobbied against allowing poor poc kids from going to the same school as their kids.

weekly reminder that being in favor of segregated schools is now the correct anti racist viewpoint and if you want kids of color to be bused to other schools you're an agent of white supremacy

one phrase i liked seeing is that desegregation is a 'historic harm' that needs to be fixed

yeah I think the second point is important, as well as being anchored to a 'safe' network. I gave it a week when he first started then haven't watched since

amazing that I don't even see clips of these shows that went viral on youtube or fb. they're a black hole

It also helps that the daily show started out as just a general parody of news programs/weekend update style joke show. IIRC it wasn’t until a few years into the Bush era that it started taking itself seriously and trying to bundle real talking points into the satire format.

Semper Shitpost Ubique

Why are the Disney/Funko/Marvel people identifying so hard, not only with the art, but with the brands?

I get that they don’t mind that these are popcorn movies that are entertaining, familiar, I guess comfortable and safe. That’s not a bad thing, sometimes you just want to have fun at the movies. I’m wondering why they go on to make an identify out of it.

Is it a genre thing? A certain kind of storytelling? The aesthetic?
