Zuko in Avatar comes to mind, where he's held to account for his actions even and especially because of how close he'd come to switching sides before.

In Naruto's case I figure it's just Naruto being an idiot and happy that people are treating him better now.

Which is fine, I’m not saying the movie will be good, but if you look at his Twitter Dilworth is a crazy COVID denier, so good riddance.

Same but only if it’s with the Netflix She-Ra.

Note that this trailer is a leak and as a result, a lot of the voices have been deepened to avoid a copyright strike.

Here’s another leaked clip:

Speaking of toys, how much did SPoP actually get in terms of merchandise?

Also, were the final two seasons ever released on DVD (I know the first three were)?

I'm sure anything glossed over will be explained in the light novel.

There should be sub-genres in Isekai like regular, fantasy Isekai and video-gamey Isekai.

I don't think that's right. It would make perfect sense since she can use magic, but she looks pretty normal to me. If there's a difference in her artstyle it's a lot more subtle than it was for Horse.

Also yeah, Centaurworld has no right being as good as it was.

The first ep is basically a discarded Chowder script or something.

Even in the alternate dimension where they are both evil, the divorce is purely an act for tax reasons (and to protect Mrs Doofenshmirtz in case Heinz gets arrested) and they are actually pretty good friends.

The new Disney show, "The Ghost and Molly McGee" is really cute. Ashly Burch is such a great voice actress. And her character is super expressive.

I finished revisiting an old show from when I was a kid, and it's really weird so I feel compelled to post.

The Big Boy and Rusty the Boy Robot was a show that was made by the people who were also behind Extreme Ghostbusters, Jackie Chan Adventures, Godzilla the Series, and Men in Black the series. A lot of shows that had similar aesthetic styles of realistic designs and muted colors.



It stars these two robots, one a big guy with kind of a retro-future aesthetic, and the other basically a knock-off Astroboy. I think their dynamic is meant to evoke like the Fat Man and Little Boy atomic bombs, and Big Guy does throw around WW2-style bombs a lot. They fight various threats, mostly giant monsters. There's a whole thing where Big Guy apparently had a longer history of defending America and Rusty is a newer robot that really looks up to him and aspires to be like Big Guy. Only thing is, Big Guy wasn't actually artificially intelligent, that was just a thing they told everybody for propaganda purposes, Big guy is actually piloted by a human, voiced by Jim Hanks, and Rusty doesn't know and thinks Big Guy is just like him, and people do their best to not let him in on the truth.

The whole thing is very militaristic, often kind of a satire of the military industrial complex. Everything Big Guy says is like it's out of a propaganda reel. Some episodes actually reveal something's gone wrong with Big Guy when he gets slightly less patriotic, and there is one episode that involves having to correct history when a time-travel incident makes the American Revolution fail, and without the American military industrial complex, Earth is left vulnerable to be conquered by aliens. It's really something. It's a big example of immediately pre-9/11 views on the American military. Very immediately, the show ran from September, 1999 to March, 2001. Just a weird point in history right before a whole lot of national opinions changed. The distributor of the show even folded on October 25, 2001.

Rusty, as the dumb young kid character is often annoying, but there's a weirdness to it, kind of like he's intentionally uncanny valley, and not quite properly sentient. There's an episode where some alien robots trying to act organic show up, and Rusty just laughs at them because he doesn't want to be human at all. All the other characters are mature adults, like Dr. Slate, Rusty's creator and top scientist on the show, or Donavan, the moneygrabbing CEO of the company that made Rusty, and his talking monkey. When Rusty's not around, it really doesn't seem like much of a kids' show at all, and even when he is around it sometimes gets weirdly mature. Dr. Slate and Big Guy's pilot have an interesting relationship. The show can also get pretty intense, I think some people die onscreen, and there definitely are some scenes of robots getting torn apart in a way that's almost gory.

I think there's a lot of references on the show that I don't get, but at least I caught some Dr. Strangelove when Big Guy rides a missile. There's even an apparent pre-reference like the AI gone rogue named EDI who threatens to blow up the moon. The plots can get pretty weird, like when a scientist played by Tim Curry mutates into a giant brain-eating spider or when and underground race of lava men plan to invade the surface world. The longest overarching villains are the Legion ex Machina, a shadowy cabal of androids played by Clancy Brown, Clancy Brown, Clancy Brown, Dean Haglund, Clancy Brown, and Clancy Brown.

So apparently there's a new Fairly Oddparents show on Nick, which normally I would not care about in the slightest, but I saw this clip posted on Twitter and good lord:

I'm pretty sure there are ham sandwiches with a higher budget than this animation.

Oh yeah, that does sound a lot like the start of the Kyoshi novel.

Naruto makes me irrationally angry because it starts off as a meditation on how hard work and gumption can overcome bullshit ideas of family lineage and genetic superiority and then by the end makes Naruto ninja Jesus with deep spiritual and blood ties to the most important figures in the ninja world.

oof. looks like we're headed for a "why does this exist" battle between the new management at Warner and Cartoon Network/WBA :/

this could potentially be uglier than the last merger, more akin to the disasterous 2001 aol time warner merger
