I seem to recall Steven Universe was her deranged serial killer origin story for some reason.

Dapper_Swindler posted:wait what? like i am not really a fan of stephen universe, like humor/art/fanbase/stephens early voice turned me off of it but i get that its genuinly good show, so what pissed lilly off so much for that. Not a drat clue. I just remember seeing a 10 second out of context clip curbed from somewhere in the video essay where Orchard is screaming in legitimate rage, like the kind that can't be faked unless you're a really good actor, just "gently caress YOU REBECCA SUGAR gently caress YOU gently caress YOU gently caress YOU I HOPE YOU loving DIE VIOLENTLY YOU loving BITCH!" And that made me go "Okay, I never want to hear this person's thoughts on anything ever again."

Including responding to one person's evidence-backed allegations of abuse with the statement that her accuser needed to "die in a ditch & [she] wished his wife would break up with him in the ugliest way possible once they got married".

pixaal posted:Goku friends *everyone* He becomes friends with a demon named Piccolo at the end of the original series. At the end of Z he becomes friends with Buu. The only enemy they actually killed was Frieza. I mean he comes back a few times with dragonballs but he never really gets redeemed he always backstabs Goku. Going back further in Dragonball I think Tao is similar in he comes back and still evil. And even loving Frieza has transitioned from irredeemably evil to "wild card sometimes ally who's still kind of evil but not like obsessed with killing Goku anymore" over the course of Dragon Ball Super thanks to Goku's real super power: friendship.

I love that Toriyama introduces the Most Strongest Character In The Universe, Don't Even Try To Fight Him, has him be a thread for like 45 minutes, and then he spends the rest of Super's runtime basically just being Bulma's lovely cat.

Neeksy posted:Tennapel was pretty notorious for well over a decade for being a vocal bigot and that bigotry had direct consequences to his career in a hugely public way, man. And it wasn't some one-off appearance, either. We had something like this happen over in the Star Trek thread regarding Star Trek: Picard's showrunner Terry Matalas, where he went on a bunch of right wing bigots' podcasts to do press for the third season of the show and then just... kept going on more and more and more right wing bigots' podcasts. And when he was called out for it on Twitter he was like "Oh, well how was I supposed to know these guys were a bunch of white supremacist misogynists, how could I POSSIBLY have known?" despite there being literal years worth of easily googleable evidence of these peoples' bigotry on full display, and then he just kept going on more and more right wing bigots' podcast to hype the show after getting called out for it. And people were like "please stop reminding me that the showrunner is chud-friendly, I just want to consume the media in peace without thinking about it" and the general consensus was kind of "no."

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah, i feel like i should read it more. id probably get it more. it was fun though. The movie is something of a flawed masterpiece. Visually and stylistically phenomenal with a stellar cast and a great soundtrack... that tries to cram 6 entire books worth of content into 2 hours and kind of fails miserably at it, especially after front-loading the first 30 minutes with basically all of Book 1 and then sprinting like mad to get through the remaining five as fast as it can once the premise of the film is finally unveiled. Hopefully with a full season-length anime they can take the time needed to devote to fully realizing each of the books in a little more depth this time.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:I always thought the core concept of Scott Pilgrim was weird and kind of off putting since it's basically just "some dude murders a bunch of people so he can feel confident enough to date a girl", but it seemed to vibe with a lot of other people so I'm glad they're getting a fun new cartoon to enjoy. For what it's worth, O'Malley has since come out and said that none of the Evil Exes actually died when they were defeated, just teleported back to wherever they came from originally no worse for wear aside from whatever damage they took in the fight and some bruised egos. Maybe the anime might incorporate that, who knows. There was also at one point going to be a twist ending where Scott was literally just a stone cold serial killer and the books were his psychosis rationalizing his actions and yeah he was on the run for just murdering eight people in cold blood because he fell in love with Ramona and decided to slay everyone else who ever loved her.

Sivart13 posted:the approach best matches the 2020s zeitgeist is to give it the FF7 Remake treatment where the timeline is fractured and various Scotts and Gideons and what have you are battling it out amongst infinite Ramonas in the multiverse Make a Nega Gideon to go along with Nega Scott, just a dude who's really cool and chill and really fun to hang out with and just shows up to vibe with Scott and the gang while actual Gideon constantly plots their downfall elsewhere. No wait, I basically just described Comeau. Comeau is Nega Gideon, poo poo.

TwoPair posted:They might be ballparking when the writer's strike will end since that obviously affects a lot of shows. But other than that I dunno either, seems weird. Animation writers apparently aren't covered under the WGA umbrella and have their own smaller, much less powerful union. It's why Disney keeps getting away with murder when it comes to abusing their animated show staffs. So they're not on strike with the rest of the WGA right now.

Course it would be cool if it runs for 50 or so episodes but I’ll take what I can get. Season orders don't mean anything anymore in the age of media erasure.

Happy Landfill posted:They said back when it was announced that the original cast was reprising their roles. Still cool to see that confirmed, especially since Evans and Larsen have become huge stars since the movie originally came out They did a table read cast reunion version of the movie during COVID a couple years ago and they basically got everyone back for that too except for Kieran Culkin and Brie Larson purely because they were busy filming at the time so they couldn't otherwise make it. Everyone involved in this whole universe just seems to love it so much.

Nevermind the fact that she was one of the best parts of the movie and loving knocked Black Sheep out of the park and will probably also kill the poo poo out of whatever songs they give Envy and/or Clash At Demonhead this time around too. Because that's also Mark Webber, Allison Pill and Michael Cera singing the track on the trailer, so I'm guessing they're gonna like the actors sing certain songs again like they did for the movie.

koolkal posted:Heh, it reminds me a lot of when they announced a live action Aladdin spinoff of like the one white guy side character in it That was some peak Disney Executive Brain poo poo. Instead of green lighting a sequel to the one live action Disney remake outside of Maleficent that almost managed to justify its existence, they proposed a spin-off TV show centered around not only the only white character in the film, but a dude who shows up for about a minute, barely speaks English and does so in a huurdy guurdy merp merp merp Swedish Chef voice, and was a nothing more than a walking sight gag. I legit think that that was just a trial balloon to see "Okay, what's the most shameless thing we announce for Disney+ before we get finally get any pushback on it" back when the sky seemed like it was the limit for D+. It was Disney testing where the electric fences were.

Ccs posted:Yeah I really enjoyed the movie, great songs, but I hear many conflicting things about Future so I'm debating whether to watch it or just go back to shows made for my age group containing much less emotionally mature characters but lots more blood and sex. Future is a mess, yes, but it also puts the needed capstone on all the dangling threads the show and the movie leave twisting, so it really is the Ending to the series. Unfortunately because a lot of those dangling threads are messy bitch drama, the ending is a messy bitch mess. But it's 3 and a half hours and then it's done. Just power through it and then move on to whatever else you wanna do or watch.

KingKalamari posted:Honestly, I think the big turning point in our cultural attitude (At least online) came about as a response to the rise of extremism masquerading under the guise of irony. I think it's also reflective of a cycle of people being less receptive to actual, structural criticism in economic boom periods. While you got works that try to tackle societal issues back in the 90s, those works were often too timid to push for actual, systemic change to address the issues these issues because this sort of media is ultimately being created by people benefiting from that very societal structure. They are instead forced to simply wallow in the tragedy of these issues and go "Ho hum, things sure are bad but what can we do about it?" The people who say "all movies are too irony-poisoned and quippy these days" are the people who only consume godawful franchise movies and nothing else so they literally have no idea what actual cinema is like in comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ28knLt5Rs Cody Johnston actually just did a really great breakdown on why people think like this too.

Proto Man being evil and the creation of Dr. Wily is just weird though. I was gonna say "Why did they need to make Proto Man evil when Bass was right there?" but I guess the show actually pre-dated Mega Man 7 by like at least a year or more, so Bass wasn't even a thing they could have drawn on for a rival character to Mega Man.
