poptart_fairy posted:Cool, thanks for the information on that guys. Makes a lot of sense although I'm now sad that their absolutely gorgeous architecture may have been down to available resources rather than creativity and aesthetics. It takes creativity and aesthetic sense to make the most out of limited resources.

Kaboom Dragoon posted:In troperspeak, it's like this: take Evangelion. For the better part of 30-odd years, giant robot shows had been adventure and excitement - kid finds giant robot, uses it to save the day, everyone laughs. There were exceptions, but by and large, that was the formula. Then Eva comes along, takes everything about the genre and plays it straight. Kids piloting giant robots are closer to child soldiers, one false move can destroy half the city and the guys in charge aren't even remotely altruistic. That's the deconstruction, taking the individual aspects of the genre and showing what they'd be like in the real world. BUT KAMINA HAD TO DIE THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

There's a Doctor Who radio drama where Laika comes back super-intelligent and decides to KILL ALL HUMANS! It's pretty great.

Swan Oat posted:"Very good at empathy" is really loving funny. Empathy isn't a skillset you dweeb it's a character trait! Also, all the "age: unknown" and "motivation: [redacted]" stuff reads like character descriptions on the back of action figure packaging. So mysterious! Reminds me of that comic about Star Trek: TNG where it's all like, "Troi can understand how other people are feeling. This is her superpower."

Ratspeaker posted:Which radio play is this? I'm just coming off the Space Dandy episode with Laika and this would make the greatest complement. It's Big Finish Productions' 1963: The Space Race, starring Sixth Doctor Colin Baker. It's 12bux for a DRM-free download of the 2-hour full-cast play on BigFinish.com

Well the last "movie" they did was like two years ago, so it's all kind of a moot point now.

Just gonna reiterate that apart from being a capitalist pig-dog Linkara's largely grown out of his lolbertarian leanings. He's really solid on gender rights and poo poo like that, anyway.

Captain Mog posted:I'm really beginning to suspect that certain authors just set up pages for their own works in an effort to make themselves look famous. There was this "Whatley Universe" creepy fetish fiction thing that, for a while, was absolutely EVERYWHERE on TVTropes, and at the time I thought it was a much more popular thing than it actually was. This definitely happens.

Lottery of Babylon posted:Also, I couldn't stand justifying Voldemort's evil with the fact that "he doesn't love" and portraying that as a bad thing. I take personal offense to that and I don't feel that's an adequate explanation for the atrocities Voldemort has committed. oh my god is this an "aromantic" screed it is isn't it I'm pretty sure most people who self-identify as "Aromantic" only know about "love" from the perspective of mass media and don't understand their own emotions. Like a really fuckin' pathetic version of the "WHAT IF YOUR PURPLE IS MY GREEN, MAAAN" thing.
