Some Guy TT posted:the main reason i was so pessimistic about bad guys is that despicable me and minions did a lot to pigeonhole badness as an aesthetic rather than an actual moral value so i was genuinely surprised to see bad guys deal seriously with relative ethics While I get ya about badness as an aesthetic, the aesthetic of badness is awesome. And that's what the minions are all about Megamind is also v good yes Also aren't the Bluth family based on the Bushes? Gob is Jeb.

Gob specifically is a Jeb reference but otherwise they're a more general parody of the great american family, a mish-mash of the bushes and the kennedys and more generally any family that have been the richest people in the same place for several generations and their stupid family bullshit can make the local news

i say swears online posted:frankly the 1:1 bluth/bush comparison never lined up for me It isn't 1:1. It's mostly just naming conventions (like constantly using the same pool of names with Michael, Oscar, and George), and general detachment from reality. Rampant criminality too, but even there the comparison falls apart because the Bluths tend to get caught, while the Bushes lol

i showed my nephew some Mr Rogers and he seemed to like it. Maybe even more than cocomelon. It's much less annoying than cocomelon. I didn't remember that mr rogers had a jazz pianist as part of the show soundtrack who's just going loving crazy the whole time

How It's Made shows you how things are made. Unwrapped shows you long segments of commercials with short commercial breaks inbetween, and the longer commercials show you about one- to two-thirds of the process in how things are made. I love the How It's Actually Made series on Youtube, but the Fully Unwrapped series may be doing more good in exposing just how much bullshit Unwrapped was.

I think a good compromise between VotW and One Plot is to have 10 2-parters. but since networks don’t want to pay to produce 18-24 episodes a season anymore you kinda have to pick one or the other

SNW feels like a 21st century take on the original show. outside of ongoing character development it’s episodic weekly adventures telling moral tales with a pretty strong cast while there’s been nothing particularly memorable yet about it, it’s not great, SNW is simply a better crafted show than discovery with none of the embarrassing garbage

indigi posted:does paramount have anything beside start trek Evil is very good, and I like The Good Fight. They're both, in the thread's terms, "catnip for liberals", but they're funny and weird. It's interesting to see the people behind The Good Fight become more and more left as they go along (though not, you know, considerably so). But yeah, Evil is my recommendation -- it's kind of like the way people talk about Strange New Worlds, in the sense that the show is made up of a bunch of standalones tied to an evolving plot and character development, though IMO unlike SNW it's actually quite good. The lead's a loving smokeshow, and the cast is great. It's popcorn, but it's the good stuff.
