Seems we won’t have long to wait for the second season either, according to this most of the work has already been completed on it and they’re anticipating an early 2024 start date: https://thedirect.com/article/my-adventures-with-superman-season-2-release Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Sep 1, 2023 |

I mean I'm preeetty sure Das Boo posted mystery character's model sheet and bio like a year ago. That's all I'll say, except that it sounds like a pretty fun story hook. Jimmy now has enough money to either live comfortably forever OR blow it all on one crazy-rear end scifi laser. Which will he choose?

Also very pleasantly surprised they got Donald Glover back, but it’s a shame NPH didn’t return (Andrew Rannells is a great replacement tho) I feel like if you gotta budget your VAs, Glover is more making the character potentially than NPH is, for as good as NPH is.

I give it until the next season finale at the latest for them to run into a situation where he needs to spend it all at once to save the day. The better comedy of errors is that he gets even richer because he invested it the Newskid Legion or something silly at face.

I'm gonna assume he'll spend most of the season getting into SuperDickery cover scenarios with his money and lose it all at the season finale. I doubt it'd be "all" of it, but I'm gonna assume Jimmy buys off Deathstroke in one episode.

Not sure how accurate that is (heck, isn't one of the artists on these forums?) but it is definitely delayed to next year. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/marvel-tv-show-release-dates-1235580093/

Yeah, if anyone can confirm the animation change please do so as I agree it kind of defeats the point of this being a revival of the old show Though to be fair, not even the last season looked like it did in 1994 Larryb fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Sep 2, 2023 |

I think it'll just be funny if we finally get Lex acting as Lex Luthor properly, and then Jimmy just casually making millions and knocking him out of the running of richest man in Metropolis.

I'm partway into the first season of Amphibia, not liking it all that much but I'm watching it for a friend so I don't mind. Am I right in thinking that these episodes were aired out of order, yeah? e.g. Breakout Star (episode 10) clearly comes after Toad Tax (19). Additionally, Anne's relationship with the town, and the family's financial health seemingly changes on an episode to episode basis, but I can't tell if that's crazy paving continuity or just sloppy loving plotting. From googling, I can tell that a few other people have noticed this, but there doesn't seem to be a fan reordering of the episodes, let along an official production order. Though production order apparently places episodes 3 and 4 before episode 1, so I don't know why the latter would be helpful either.

Breakout Star would actually have to be pre-Toad Tax, because Toad Tax/Prison Break are supposed to be the big middle of the season eps (the 10th half hour out of 20), and Breakout Star is pre-some director/board team stuff getting slightly shuffled

Not super enjoying Amphibia. The conflicts in a lot of these farm episodes (which seem to be heavily, heavily weighted towards the first half of the season) are very repetitive. Grandad is a reactionary traditionalist. Anne convinces the kids to try something new, but they go too far because young people. Chaos ensues, everyone learns an important lesson about compromise. A lot of the humour doesn't work for me, and the lesson learning component are simplistic and more heavily underscored than in Gravity Falls (and its derivatives, or even their contemporary ilk e.g. Adventure Time, Steven Universe), so these episodes bore me. The episodes that focus on townies, or try something more complex with the characters, are better, but from browsing ahead they seem to be more backloaded in the run. I'm running under the assumption that the episode order was heavily reorganised for some reason, so my current theory is that it was decided to shuffle a lot of these episodes earlier into the run.

Yeah, things start picking up a bit by the end of Season 1 onwards (and even some of the more fillery stuff early on becomes important by the end of the show). I understand what you mean though

Amphibia's lesson of the week format doesn't really get dropped until well into season 3. It's a bizarre fusion of Pepper Anne and Sonic Adventure 2. That being said, Matt Braly's cultural influences are some of the things I love most in this world so I was able to power through the incidental episodes, enjoy the black comedy of frog world violence, and the character dynamics between the kids are great.

In a world where a lot of cartoons have chosen to go the more serial route, I'll admit it's nice to have a show that can still tell a greater story while not losing a chance to tell those little one-off tales in between (similar reasons I also like Ghost & Molly Mcgee & Big City Greens). Never viewed them as "filler" or what have you, just, here are some adventures the characters go through in the greater journey.

Speaking of Molly McGee I’ve really been enjoying the second season so far (though the D+ page for the series is still a little ways behind). Plus, the show features two of my favorite VAs together in the same series (Ashly Burch and Dana Snyder) who have great chemistry to bootDoctorWhat posted:Amphibia's lesson of the week format doesn't really get dropped until well into season 3.

True but it does become slightly less episodic come Season 2 (and the finale of said season raises the stakes in a major way) Also be sure to watch the Sasha and Marcy Theme Song Takeovers on YouTube as they’re directly canon to the series and once you’re done with the series read Marcy’s Journal Larryb fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Sep 6, 2023 |

Amphibia is very chill, which does mean that the drama doesn't really peak as much, but it's an okay ride. Molly McGee is similarly another step away from the dramatic or overarching narratives. And that's fine, not all shows need to chase drama, but it does seem like right now, there's not very much in the genre of mostly comedic but steadily building overarching plot right now. Which is kinda more just a numbers thing on the production side. Nickelodeon has always had a shaky relationship with what's left of their animation division and a bad history with Young Adults, so there's nothing coming out from them right now. Cartoon Network was purposefully destroyed in an act of arson. Netflix has a bumpy relationship with animation, and it's usually what gets cut whenever they have a little trouble. So when Disney just decides to take a step back, that's all the big players.

i think everyone except for Netflix pretty much got scared off of shows with continuity for some reason or another (probably that all of them become queer over time and executives are pieces of poo poo who can't handle that) however i do not want to demonize 'status quo' or episodic shows as being innately inferior and i don't love dismissing simpler/static episodes as 'filler', personally. i think there's just as much love and craft put into those as any other episode

I’m glad that Hilda isn’t dead at least considering the long period of silence we’ve had regarding the last season (and based on the article I posted it seems to be dropping fairly soon at that) Also Cartoon Network put an episode of the new Tiny Toons series up on their YouTube channel (though it’s not the first episode oddly enough): https://youtube.com/watch?v=4KnlnrFigyM This…kind of sucks to be honest Larryb fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Sep 7, 2023 |

Re: Amphibia chat, it's not so much that I mind stand alone stories vs arc stories (heaven knows a lot of arcs are crap). I just thought a lot of these episodes were kind of dull, repetitive and unfunny. I assume it gets better thoug, plenty of shows don't put their best foot forward, and even those that do start strong e.g. Gravity Falls tend to get better as they go along. But these farm episodes are not great, no. Larryb posted:From other people, yes but they seem to have gutted their own animation projects a while back. Pretty happy about this news. Gorgeous show, gorgeous art. I used to use the comics as a teaching aid back when I still did that, and it's been great to see the series become more well known.

Something I like with Early Amphibia is the running thing where Anne becomes more and more comfortable with eating insects given how long she ends up living among frogs. It's a cute recurring thing.
