CodfishCartographer posted:Also Moral Orel did the same shtick as it but better years ago. Seriously. BoJack always felt like everything was so unearned compared to Moral Orel, whose characters actually grew for better and worse in a realistic way even over the course of one season.

Yeah war hero Skinner was great. One of my favourite flashbacks was when his platoon all had a good laugh over the "up with mini skirts" shirt, even though he didn't quite understand it. Is he even still a Vietnam vet? I'm shocked they've kept going with Grandpa being a WWII vet given that there aren't many real ones left and it means he had to have had modern Simpsons Homer when he was like 60.

Every time that comparison gif gets posted I think the same thing. Yes, the bottom one is abhorrent and there's no defending it, new Simpsons garbage etc. But classic Simpsons usually wasn't as vibrant as the top one either, because they sacked Klasky-Csupo early on over its animation being pushed too far for the tone of the show.

khwarezm posted:While it's true that after Simpsons season 1 they restrained the animation an increasing amount, I've mentioned before about how for most of the golden age the Simpsons actually has some really, really good animation that mostly goes unrecognised, I'm not really sure why but some examples: I agree with you, I think that comparisons being made between the new style and those scenes would be much more genuine.

sweet geek swag posted:That is an entire episode about Homer's moral dilemma. He isn't being a jerk for no reason, he wants to see Flanders fail because Flanders' previous success makes him insecure. Homer's hatred of Flanders being about his own jealousy is the foundation of that relationship. Also note that Homer is doing anything to directly harm Flanders, he just isn't mentioning the Leftorium to his friends and coworkers. Also, the imagination sequence where he pictures Flanders' misfortune. It goes to a shot of Ned's grave, and he says to himself "mmm no, too far" then backs it up. Modern Simpsons doesn't have the restraint to do that, they'd just keep pushing it further with horrible dismemberment or something.

That one episode with Mark Hamill was good, I think that was season 10. Maybe it was just good because of Mark Hamill though. Edit: Oh yeah and the part where Fat Tony's goon and Homer are struggling with the knife. "Give me the knife!" "No, it's mine!" womb with a view fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Nov 8, 2018 |

CodfishCartographer posted:I know I'm the minority here but I never was that crazy about Lisa's Substitute. It's a fine episode, but I always thought Bart Gets an F was a stronger emotional episode, and that Moaning Lisa was a better look at Lisa's character during vulnerable moments. They're all pretty good for showing real childhood issues. It's all about what resonated with you the most.

I watched a clip from the casino episode where Lisa is crying over her lovely costume, and Homer tears up in empathy then wipes it away as he resolves to get Marge back. Just such a little detail that you'd take for granted, he's upset because his daughter is sad and he cares about her. It felt like they were a family even if Homer was sometimes crappy at it.

That always felt like an acknowledgement of it being a wacky cartoon more than trying to go with the realistic family dynamics angle. I mean I don't think it really fit beyond the weirdass tone of season 1 so I'm not sure why they kept it around, but I guess it was supposed to be more like Fred Flintstone getting hit on the head by a bowling ball than anything.

I don't know why they keep making episodes about other parts of the world. The jokes are either completely incomprehensible, or rely on stereotypes that were outdated before the show began

Muk Dumpster posted:At least being gay is a con because he's assessing him as a partner for Selma.. maybe.. There's also a number of layers to the joke. -He thinks that because Bart made a prank call and his dumb mind associated that with his current task -He possibly thinks that his sexual orientation is "only into Homer" -He possibly doesn't realise the word he's actually thinking of is "homosexual" So appropriateness aside at least there's a few things to laugh at there, instead of uhhhhh whatever the intent was with that clip

Cemetry Gator posted:I think a good rule for the Simpsons is to definitely stop watching when they make the switch from cel animation to digital ink and paint (the Radioactive Man Movie doesn't count - that was an early experiment). Beyond that point lies madness. Woah, is that why the colours and linework all look off on that one? I just figured it was because they'd somehow damaged the original and used a copy that came with those flaws or something.

I still maintain that these awful modern episodes aren't quite as bad at that edgy era (around seasons 14-20 maybe?) of "girls are bad at math" and "Homer gets raped by a panda" episodes. These are awful but at least they don't make me furious. Just tired, mostly.

Pretty good posted:In terms of absolute character destruction Hank's gradual escalation into doing sick owns on incompetent scheming libs was a million times worse than jerkass homer ever was and it's a blessing that koth got killed off when it did. The premise of ageing everyone up is admittedly pretty interesting but I don't trust them to not gently caress it. Agreed. It was like watching your own dad get into Fox News
