Electric Phantasm posted:The recycling episode where it ends by zooming out past their recycled paradise to show the world hosed up by the waste of big companies. It’s not even really cynicism so much as an objectively correct point of “the emphasis on personal recycling responsibility is and always has been the actual primary drivers of pollution deflecting from their culpability in a palatable-to-Protestants-packaging”.

readingatwork posted:Aggretsuko continues to be a fun show with low-key awful politics. In previous seasons the problem was a satire of work culture that ultimately reaffirms every aspect of the status quo but this season all that is back-burnered in favor of politics humor that is clearly terrified of discussing something political. A good chunk of the season revolves around [redacted] running for office but ideology, policies, or even the vaguest sense of how this character would want to change things is never mentioned. It all has a very Andrew Yang Forward party vibe to it and I hate it so much. Agreed with pretty much everything here. But age limits on public office are good and that one isn’t low enough. The big take away from Aggretsuko is “being ground into dust by a broken society is fine as long as you get mad about it but not in a way that matters”

DoctorWhat posted:The demand that Steven Universe didactically instruct tweens to blow up pipelines and kill their conservative parents was maybe not fair, as cool as a show like that would be. The insinuation that SU was pro-fascist propaganda was completely deranged. It was a personal story Sugar was telling about their fantasies about conflict resolution and human connection. To be fair here, maybe the personal fantasy of Sugar’s would have worked better without a colonial space empire that genocides whole planets. I think maybe the theme of peaceful conflict resolution might have been easier to work without sabotaging yourself in that way. Just lower the stakes a smidge maybe!

Xelkelvos posted:Writers don't usually change on a dime. What are you taking about? Writers stay on for at least one story arc so their stints can be from 3 or 4 months to years unless it's a standalone issue. Artists change a little more often but id teams in big series are rarely broken up. “At least one story arc” is an incredibly low bar by the standards of most other mediums.

Hopefully he can bring a little more energy to Scott when appropriate.

Neeksy posted:Isn't this the same issue that underpins the helluva boss/hazbin hotel stuff? Not really no. Helluva Boss they honestly don’t really do much that’s morally black and when they do it’s mostly to other demons who are far worse or it’s maximally absurdist. Whereas Captain Fall is very much reveling in more ‘real’ monstrous poo poo, and human trafficking and rape are kiiiinda not very funny.

It is a real shame Beastars fell apart so catastrophically because the start was an absolute banger. Ah well.

I’m in the same boat where there are parts of HH/HB that I like, but as a whole it’s trying way too hard to do that edgy teen Newgrounds culture deal that I just can’t.

Megillah Gorilla posted:I've been watching Delicious in Dungeon and it's great light-hearted fun for the most part. The key is that it was never a comedy. The show starts with someone being graphically eaten and a discussion of the logistics of them being digested with a completely straight face for a reason. Dungeon Meshi never stops being an optimistic show, that having been said. But it's not unserious. The jokes usually have a point or tell you something about the characters which is important to know.
