BigRed0427 posted:Batman and Son was poo poo from what I remember. Under the Red Hood was the last DC animated thing I saw that was good. I thought that the Dark Knight Returns movie that they split into two parts was good. Helps that they got Peter Weller to play old Batman. I also have high hopes for The Killing Joke which is coming out this year I think.

DC Animated has the exact same problem that DC movies have, namely that they really over push the grim and gritty stuff. The stories they choose to adept shows that as well.

The DC movies also have a problem of not doing the grim and gritty well. Proper execution counts for a lot IMO. I don't mind them doing animated versions of very well known stories.

Hell, that's an issue company wide, especially the Batman line of books. My problem with it isn't that they try to do dark, mature stories. It's that their idea of dark and mature is still stuck in the 90s. I'll have to find it when I get home but VOX.com wrote an article about an interview with Zach Snyder where he says that he's not interest d in comics where there's no sex or blood. He is one of those guys who wants to be cool and edgy but it just comes off as super immature. BigRed0427 fucked around with this message at 14:58 on May 9, 2016 |

You know, late teenager/early 20's opinions on things. In the interview he said his jam were the Heavy Metal magazines. That whole article was written like a DC fan  ing over the direction the movies were taking.

Jsor posted:Extra Credits' Dan did a really good look at that dumb as hell "Tracer's butt" blowup that happened. Though sometimes I think dignifying all the whiners with a response is just encouraging them, I learned a lot about animation and character design. This is neat. Is this a one-off, or are there other videos in this series? All I'm getting is Extra Credits videos, whose topics can be interesting but the pitch-shifted voice drives me up the loving wall.

So I watched Brad's video about the copyright strike resolution. One thing that really, really got me was when he mentioned that the strike didn't come from the Christiano studio directly. Rather, it came from an OUTSOURCED, overseas dude whose job is to just go around YouTube and flag videos. ... Totally not a broken system at all. So now I wonder-- is this cheapass studios outsourcing their copyright trolling, or is there a grey "spammer-like" market selling their services to movie studios. Do studios get poorly worded spam like "#1 best copyrite protection 4 u best rates guarenteed $$$ reply thankfully"?

What I want to know is how do I get that as a job? All I have to do is enter the IP into the search bar and file a strike? And I get MONEY for it? Sign me up, has to be better then retail. Though I guess being in America and thus being restricted to American labor laws I can't get a job like that cause why pay me minimum wage when they can pay someone in Asia pennies an hour.

achillesforever6 posted:Eh DC's animated movies have been pretty hit or miss for the last few years imo Everything past Under the Red hood and The Dark Knight Returns you can write off, except maybe Justice League: Gods and Monsters. The ones past that have the same problems as the current crop of DC movies and have an awful art style to boot. I especially detest Justice League: War and Assault on Arkham. Those movies just roll all the worst aspects of "the grim, gritty, realistic" approach that DC is aiming for into two awful packages.

It really sucks too because the crappy quality of the recent DC animated films looks poised to screw over The Killing Joke adaptation. Everything about that film looks great except the animation, which appears to be terrible. Having just watched Mask of the Phantasm last night because you guys brought it up, the new stuff just pales in comparison. And that film was using only slightly better than TV budget animation!

It feels like a return to form, just people talking about things without any skits or fancy graphics. A few reviewers have been trying to outdo themselves (Linkara, Doug, Angry Joe, Spoony) when really just sitting down and getting to the point feels kind of refreshing.

The big thing I like about Linkara, at least, is that (last time I watched) most of the time (unless it's one of them big plotline ending reviews or whatever) he finishes the review before doing the skits.

Just the YMS quick review of Civil War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q6X8oHh7wA Major spoiler for the end of the film. Holy poo poo I get not liking Tony Stark/Iron Man but how deliberately obtuse do you need to be to not understand that it isn't just "vigilante justice" that he wants to kill Bucky in the final fight. They show you that Bucky killed his parents and Rogers knew as well and kept it from him. He's not Cinema Sins levels of not getting it but goddamn is he getting close with a heavy dose of  on top of it all.

So, I just posted a video about Transformers and its weird relationship with death, focusing on the Beast Wars episode Code of Hero. This is actually my third attempt at making this video over the last six months, I kept having program and corruption issues that kept trashing the final product. Glad to have finally finished it, and glad to get back to my huge backlog of requested videos.

Tracula posted:Just the YMS quick review of Civil War Talking about previous Captain America movie: "Where are all the other heroes in this Captain America movie, can't he call one of them up to help?" Talking about new Captain America movie: "Why are there so many other heroes in this Captain America movie, why even bother calling it Captain America?" God this guy is insufferable. You'd get the same experience reading the YouTube comments from the trailer. I don't think he actually had anything of substance to say about the movie itself, neither the writing, the technical abilities, or the acting, it's just nitpicking and calling the movie out for following a "formula" which apparently involves not having heroes die and that's a bad thing? I ended up not liking the movie myself, and I still disagree with him on pretty much every point.

To be fair, it really should've been called Avengers: Civil War rather than Captain America. There's a whole lot going on outside of Cap, and the main plot isn't even focussed on him, its on breaking Tony Stark's mental stability like a twig.

The only video I ever watched all the way through was his Interstellar review, where he went on a tangent on how it's stupid how movies mythologize love because it's just a chemical reaction in the brain following an evolutionary imperative of self-preservation and procreation. It is the most  thing I have ever heard. loving ignorant, smug douchebag.

I wrote a thing on notoriously lovely wrestling promotion TNA and I gotta say that if you were to tell non-wrestling fans about them then they would think that everything is made up. They're just a special kind of incompetent. http://prograpsreview.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/the-dumbest-moments-in-tna-history.html

Kunster posted:Wait, only now did people notice that he's kind of hosed up? If you're talking about YMS this is kind of a harsh contrast. Seriously he seems to, when focusing on experimental art house films and on dissecting a movie to be more collected and able to articulate language in film. However as soon as you step out of the technical aspects he can be godawful at understanding why these are used as metaphor for the themes of the film. This is coming from the guy who made a multi part blowjob of Synecdoche in New York and a several minute opening on how the opening shot was hamfistedly pointing out the concept of death, and calling it a technical masterpiece that cannot even be replicated. While lambasting other films for doing the same thing. Like how he didn't get much of Edge of Tomorrow despite having the technical and emotional aspects of how the camera changes bewteen comedic and serious, and has side characters die offscreen to point out the different states of madness the main character undergoes. Kind of like Synecdoche. At this point I feel like I already knows what he likes, movies that are technically sound and reward him with easter eggs, but in other aspects where the technical is replaced by other parts of moviemaking, like say some parts of mainstream media, he becomes the biggest snob, like a parody of Brows Held High.

Hence why I said kind of hosed up. For more mainstream videos he's messed up, but not so much on art films. He's a different beast with those but not with something like Frozen or Bruno. He probably relaxes his standards and that's how you get the Interstellar tirade and so on.

For as bad as he can be during some YMS videos, he's genuinely bad when I've seen him play games on stream, not in a bad at them or anything way, in more of a "What a tremendously unlikable person" way. Maybe I just got really unlucky picking the days or something, but drat man.

I like his After Earth, Cool Cat, Walking Dead, Pokemon, Nanalan, Unfriended, World War Z, Death Race, Saw, Spiderman, and Shyamalan videos. But at the same time his reasons for not liking the new Planet of the Apes films, Frozen, and Babadook were kind of dumb. And he can be very much up his own rear end when talking about films he likes. And that love=chemicals argument was painful. I'm kind of the same opinion on him as I am with Leon Thomas. For the most part I like him but there's a few videos I just have to agree to disagree. It's a good thing we don't live in an all-or-nothing culture.

When he goes after ultra low hanging fruit like AFTER URF he can be pretty funny. His Walking Dead breakdown was also pretty interesting too. His other stuff is just egh a lot of times. Also I don't know what it is about some people who dislike Frozen but they seem to think they're sitting on a pedestal that need to deliver knowledge to the unwashed masses.

There seems to be an uncomfortable amount of crossover between being an internet atheist personality and being anti-feminist. It's bizarre to me, though it's probably a natural progression for those who are basically dictionary atheists and deny that it affects the way you perceive the world (as if having a belief about the world somehow diminishes their personae as TRUE RATIONALISTS™). There's still some good ones left, but man has the field diminished over the past few years of eye-opening tirades.
