Reading the first person's other tweets in the thread, it sounds like the disconnect is based on the fact that Jewish stereotypes are largely harmless in the United States but are still weaponized in other countries where Jews are actively persecuted minorities.

Ren and Stimpy was experimental at a time when experimentation in TV animation had just become possible thanks to the proliferation of cable channels and the expansion of animation budgets. Some of the skits were good, a lot of them were bad, but either way the show helped to push boundaries and create a space that later shows were able to use to great effect. I think that's what has me the most leery about the new show. Ren and Stimpy became famous not just for what it did but for when it did it. The new show can't experiment in the same ways as the original because either other shows have pushed the boundaries further since then or else they ignored those boundaries because the first show proved they led nowhere. And if the show wants to experiment in new ways by pushing modern boundaries, it'd be better off starting with a new IP that doesn't have the same baggage or expectations.

BexGu posted:Yeah, especially if you come into the show realizing that Tigtone is just acting like a hyper active MMO RPG player. The escort quest episode was funny as hell as it was like doing any escort mission in a RPG. MMO? Nah, Tigtone is an old-fashioned tabletop murder hobo. At least with MMORPGs the developer can force the player to do the quest the right way and not murder NPCs in the hope that they'll drop better loot.

MikeJF posted:It's always been getting a second season. It's the same as Animaniacs getting a two-season contract: because both shows have a built in audience and it's incredibly unlikely they'll fail badly enough to lose money, they they were given what used to be called a full-season order right off the bat - but nowadays that 20ish episode full season order gets set up as two seasons because many short seasons market better on streaming. Animated shows specifically tend to get at least two seasons off the bat, assuming the executives in charge don't want to cancel them immediately. Animation requires a lot of time and effort, so they can't leave the crew waiting for ratings results if they want the second season to come out the same time as the first.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Even the best reading of her actions is still terrible. There's literally no reason for her not to tell Poe her plan. In fact, if your plan is "we need to do precisely this and nothing else or we're all going to die," then you need to be communicating that with your crew of incredibly capable and independent people used to taking instant action as they see fit when you need them to sit down and be quiet for a while. I believe the idea is that the New Order had just tracked them through hyperspace, and while the audience knows it's some new technology of theirs, the best assumption the rebels could make is that someone on board is a mole. With that in mind, sharing the plan with anyone is dangerous, since even if they aren't the mole they could end up telling the mole and ending any chance they would have of getting anywhere safely. But with that being said, the movie really could have used a moment alone with Holdo where she's working out her assumptions and decisions.

Open Source Idiom posted:I mean, yes, but "the world is much darker than the cartoon MnM coating suggests" applies to Avatar, Steven Universe, Adventure Time etc. etc. Bone and Centaurworld go a step beyond your examples because they deliberately contrast two very different visual styles, one of which is expected to be inoffensive and shallow but turns out to be far from it within this particular context.
