Splint Chesthair posted:It is very on-brand for Ziggy to miss out on the whole comic-strip-to-beloved-animated-series pipeline of the 70s/80s. Someone had a post about how newspaper comic strips mostly really didn't see the impending irrelevance of newspapers coming and had a lot of flop sweat Iicensing sprees about when barely anyone under 60 even knew they existed.

SlothfulCobra posted:I feel like sometimes even if you don't intend to create a complicated lore, you can end up with lore creeping up anyways just as the natural result of prodding your setting's limits and characters inevitably becoming more refined over the course of multiple stories. If you're playing around with more complicated emotions other than just simple gags, that leaves a lot of lore lying around like debris. See: More or less any half decent tabletop campaign.

A.o.D. posted:Maybe for the pilot, but the title sequence of AT always promised a deeper post apocalyptic lore from episode 1. If TADC average episode cost the same as Murder Drones, which is 200,000.00 and that makes a fraction of the views TADC does, I'm sure they'll be quite fine money wise. Especially with those number of views. Then you add merch sales. Glitch is eating well. The Last Call fucked around with this message at 04:13 on May 9, 2024 |

Dapper_Swindler posted:i dont mind mystery but i prefer it when its character baser or your given all the information through out the show but not screamed it, what happened with westworld season 2 is someone figured out the original twist or something so they changed it and it never worked well. I'm happy that they were upfront with it all and respected their fans enough to honestly manage expectations. Knowing it's just going to be about the characters will let me enjoy it a lot more.

nine-gear crow posted:It perfectly encapsulates the idea of working in a corporate hellscape at a job where nothing of any worth one way or another is done and yet everyone there is still somehow dangerously incompetent. That is pretty much the theme of the show too. IIRC, it actually involves the company producing a product... which was conceived of by name first and everything else about it was backfilled. (and of course, the end product somehow ends up apocalyptically dangerous)

maybe? I don't really know much about Oingo Boingo to be honest, except that Danny Elfman formed it, anything else would just be me regurgiting wikipedia pages.

I saw a tweet from one of the showrunners saying to watch and rewatch it a few times if you felt anything at all about it so it's possible that enough engagement might result in some more show. I frankly don't feel this is likely regardless of how much it is warranted.

Larryb posted:Wait, they actually improved? I’ve been hearing it was just more of the same poo poo so how so out of curiosity? It's just kind of fun IMO. The first season managed to strike a good tone in maybe two or three episodes, and I thought this capitalised on what was working there and just had fun with it. The show's not as keen to insist upon itself anymore -- those kinds of knowing monologues about trends in fiction (or whatever) only turn up in maybe two episodes -- and it's better for it. It's spending more time doing fun thriller plots and cracking jokes. The show relies on Fred and Daphne to act as the series moral compasses, but it's still fundamentally the same sort of freewheeling amoral nonsense that it was in the first season. I found what they did with Scrappy Doo to be gloriously disrespectful, from casting to the way they animate the character, and Velma is still a totally despicable human being (this time more obviously signposted in the text, and deployed more purposefully). So if that annoys you then don't bother with the show. It's still quite nicely animated too. Anyway, I had a lot of fun.

I kicked on the most recent episode of that the other day on a whim and that poo poo is inscrutable. It kind of had “high school fan fiction” vibe to it as best I could tell.

Oh and to echo recent sentiments on Royal Crackers, that is some good good stuff. Season 2 episode 5 is peak television. I’m not sure I’ve said “you stupid mother fuckers” out loud to myself more often and had more fun saying it. To the goon here that had a buddy that worked on it, please call them a dumbfuck in a loving way and buy them a beer.
