Looks like the Amazing Digital Circus pins I ordered are coming one by one and everyone's favourite anxiety clown was the first to arrive. I don't know if Bubbles or Caine will be next, but I'm guessing Bubbles.

Open Source Idiom posted:Four episodes into The Second Best Hospital In The Galaxy and I've concluded that this show rips. Agreed. The scenarios are legitimately funny, the depiction of anxiety is upsettingly resonant, and there are enough triggers of legitimately alien elements to keep you on your toes.

Not going to lie, hearing that Akira Toriyama died actually hosed with me quite a bit. Man was a legend. I have made games inspired by his work and still do. Absolute legend. Rest in peace, man.

Royal Crackers still continues to be extremely funny. Like how in last week's episode Stebe jumps out the window of the office building and is just fine after.

Funny enough just introduced this to a 21 year old and he loves it but he did give me a look when talking about how I grew up with this show and somehow it did NOT have a million seasons. Really want more Vox Machina. How far away are the new episodes? Side question: I loved Final Space. I know the show was Zaslaved but what are the chances of one day being legally re-released? Would it require some billionaire paying more than the write off amount? Sitting in a vault for x amount of years? I can’t imagine it just sits in a vault for eternity due to some jackass billionaire shenanigans. Feel bad for the creators and crew.

John Dilworth just uploaded a 10 year old CGI short, The Fog of Courage, to his youtube account. It's not a 'new' animation, but I don't think many people have seen it. If you were a fan of the original, it's definitely worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlKfbLJ94uM I will say that Shawn Wallace, while a great voice actor, feels a little odd as Eustice Bagge.- he's a bit too warm and friendly for the character. It is interesting how well the look translated to 3D, switching between cute cartoon design to genuinely unsettling stuff pretty quickly. There is no chance of this show coming back (the VA for Muriel has unfortunately passed), but it is a cool thing to see. I don't think that show could really exist and thrive outside of the late 90's when mixing traditional animation, early cgi, stop motion and genuine horror elements in a children's show really worked. Just about everyone who remembers the show has least one episode that genuinely freaked them out.

Return the slaaaab I was always a little bit down on the series as opposed to the pilot actually, because I thought it was lame to a) give Courage a voice (since in the pilot he was silent or almost-silent, only making nonsyllabic noises and so on, except I think one line at the end, "this shouldn't happen to a dog", which read to me as non-diegetic or ironic or something, not like he was "really" talking), and b) to have him talk only in catchphrases which had to show up like checkbox items. Always rolled my eyes when he turned to the camera to deliver "the things I do for love", loving wtf why. Always seemed like the show as retooled for series production was full of great inventive concepts that were at war with contractually obligated formulaic elements which sapped a lot of what made the pilot so wild and fun. Same thing that happened with Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab etc, seemed like every show was destined to get defanged and neutered once it was wrestled away from its creator (that I was primed early on to expect this by John K and that he amply demonstrated why it was so well justified was small comfort). But he does the catchphrase bit in that short which is obviously all Dilworth so what do I know

I think you generally shouldn't put too much weight on individual creators as the source of everything good about a show, although the tendency for show creators to leave for greener pastures halfway through a show's runtime at around the time when the show's been long enough to have some drift doesn't help. It's fairly rare for one guy to make a big enough deal to really force a show to really be mostly his. I don't think studios are forcing out creators, they're just ordering more episodes while the creators themselves decide it's time to go. Dexter's Lab in particular had a lot of great people working on it that would go on to make a lot of great things, and Genndy Tartakovsy left to help Craig McCracken on Powerpuff Girls and also make Samurai Jack. Craig McCracken left Powerpuff Girls to make Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

For sure, and I've spent enough years teaching myself that any work is the result of a whole team rather than one gifted individual that I ought to know better. It's such a facile theory to come up with, that only the creator "gets" their own show and then the rest of the team trying to carry on without them is just doing bad cargo-cult imitations. It can be like that, but equally often it can be an Adventure Time type situation. Even MLP found its own voice mostly post Faust. In a larger sense it's been the hardest thing for me to learn, that a work takes on a life of its own as soon as it makes contact with the outside world, and the creator only has a limited say in what direction that life takes.

Lol I know I've seen every episode at least once but I cannot for the life of me recall him ever speaking or even what his voice was, let alone repetitive catchphrases. I'm never going to rewatch it because I would definitely notice and be annoyed by it now.

I thought Invincible was a big hit for Amazon so I'm confused why the animation is still so stiff in season 2. I guess they figure if season 1 was a success theres no reason to make it look better the next time, but comparing any animated action show on Netflix to Invincible just shows how much of a gap there is.

Speaking of Courage the Cowardly Dog. The creator put a pilot (that never went anywhere) on his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eic4a0RSXaI. You can really tell it was made by the same guy who made Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Eh, Courage's asides didn't bother me much. The deranged nightmare logic of the show often relied on different levels of communication and playing with the dynamics of who was treated as a person or an animal. Bit like a more overtly horror bent Rocko's Modern Life. (Lol that fishing episode legit scared me)

I don't hate that show but Aoyade was a bad choice for the main lead, he never sounds like he's in the world it sounds like Richard Aoyade whining in a booth. They also went with a very weird and unrelatable family dynamic. Some of the plots and mythical creatures and stuff I really enjoy but it feels like it's scared to get too weird, almost like they're angling to be on primetime weekday network TV which doesn't exist anymore.
