Guy Mann posted:Almost any animated show made before HD was the standard has aged poorly because cheap TV animation is even uglier when it doesn't have the filter of the warm fuzzy blur of an SD cathode ray tube. I don't think this is necessarily the case. A lot of old cel-animation can still look really good or even better than when it originally aired.

mind the walrus posted:I loved it growing up--had all the die-cast models n' poo poo--but when I revisted an episode or two as an adult the whole thing has some horrifying authoritarian "keep your head down, do your loving job, and don't question the way things are" themes to it. Well, the trains do have to run on time.

Star Trek: The Next Generation had the episode Conspiracy, which was a horror episode that tonally didn't fit with the rest of the series and it was awesome. The threat in that episode was what the Borg was originally going to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_Vr9LnogLM

trickybiscuits posted:Always Sunny is still going? Good God! The main plot episodes were always kind of terrible though. While having more serialized TV shows is cool, I do wish shows would still sometimes have stand alone episodes. Sometimes there are cool plots that don't really work if they are tied into a larger and longer narrative.

Foxhound posted:I was listening to an audiobook some time ago and the adult male reader tried to do a "10 year old girl" voice and I literally couldn't finish it. Anytime a audibook narrator tries to do a voice for a character the opposite sex of them is almost always hillariously bad, especially if the character has some sort of accent or speech quirk.

Unless she is like only 1/16 Korean or something.

nonathlon posted:As bad? Funky Cancerbean is remarkable but it plays out over a long timescale, is very melodramatic and isn't harvested from the authors own life. Reading For Better Or For Worse post-divorce was an awful glimpse inside someone's grief, it was so closely modelled on her own life. Some of the author notes were just depressing, where she talked about all the spare time she had and how it was simpler to just cook and clean for one. And wasn't there some strange drama about the creator rewriting her children's lives? My understanding of the For Better or For Worse author was that she was so awful to be around, that even her children sympathized with her dad when he was the one to have an affair. Also, yes, the author rewrote the characters in the comics to be her ideal family in the reboot. Also, she even had some really petty snipes against her family.

Its really amazing how every character in disenchantment is a lame clone of a futurama character. Bean is just Leela, Elfo is just a creepy fry, and Luci is just Bender but without a personality. The only character that is actually entertaining is the king. Also, yeah there is way too much focus on the main plot. The show would probably work better if there were more standalone episodes. The world is too silly and inconsistent for me to care when it tries to do serious drama.

Skyler has the problem that she is supposedly the moral high ground character, but there isn't much to her character beyond that and she isn't even doing a good job of actually being that moral of a character. People blame sexism for people disliking her, but there isn't anything to like in the first place and its the fault of the writers.

Push El Burrito posted:It's the same thing that leads Paul Ryan to have Rage Against the Machine as his favorite band. They don't actually pay attention to the art they claim to enjoy. I think its more because pretty much everybody barely pays attention to lyrics aside from rote memorization so they can sing along to it. Its why songs with ultra-depressing lyrics constantly shows up in inappropriate places. People care about the beat, not the message. Pretty much the only time people care about the lyrics is when they are looking for a reason to call somebody out.

Speaking of things that have aged poorly, the episodes of the Simpsons set in the future where Lisa Simpson is a stand in for Hillary Clinton. A lot of people thought it was a given Hillary was going to be president one day (including Hillary Clinton herself). Also, I hate how Lisa always has to be right now. She used to be a character that could occasionally be wrong, but now she is basically a mouthpiece for the opinions of the writers, and if you are against what she is saying you must be stupid.

I still think the first shrek is a good movie that still holds up, and the issue is with the later entries. The main thing that aged poorly is the bullet time joke, which was already overdone at the time of the release.
