So, I'm hearing Final Space gets better?

I just caught the first episode on TV and it was not good.

Wow, was it not good.

I wanted to like this but, yeah, that was pretty much my opinion of it, too.

The Harley Quinn show is continuing to be a hell of a lot of fun.

Also, this is the first time I think I've ever enjoyed Poison Ivy. Usually her character is so one note it's embarrassing, but her world weary big city girl routine is just great.

To everyone who said "Final Space season 1 isn't great, but season 2 is much better!": gently caress You.

It's amazing how much less obnoxious they made the main character in the second season while still managing to keep him absolutely terrible.

I am so loving sick and tired of "creepy weirdo loser stalks his true love who is so far out his league but who eventually ends up with him out of pity and Stockholm Syndrome" plots.


I only made it through the series due to serious free time issues and my entire state being covered in choking smoke so that I had nothing else to do and nowhere else to go.

And I still regret watching it.

Agreed. With the first season of Love Death Robots, even the ones which weren't that great I felt like they were still worth my time. It's like someone told the creators of season 2 to aim for poignant and pointless, while the first season they just said, "Go loving wild."

Indeed. Though more that the aristocratic calm white woman spends the movie talking down to the hot-blooded bro (who happens to be Latino) to stop questioning her and support her unwaveringly because She Has A Plan and he should be respecting the chain of command (despite that never, ever being a thing with the Rebels or Resistance) and she would have saved them all if it weren't for all the minorities refusing to do what they're told. (Some suspect that it was supposed to be old white guy Han Solo she was calling out for his cowboy ways, but he's dead, which may be its own fitting analogy on top of all that)

It may seem contrived, but it's pretty much the only explanation I've heard that actually makes that whole plot make any sort of coherent sense.

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.

Instead, after first allowing him to take an attack wing of fighters and bombers right out from under her nose at the start of the movie because she didn't communicate with her people, she spends the rest of the movie not communicating with her people as they again run around under her nose desperately trying to save their friends.

But she made a noble sacrifice!

Yes, defending the Rebellion who, by the end of the movie, had been so reduced in numbers that the entire Rebel Alliance could fit aboard the Millennium Falcon.

I literally cannot imagine something like MM&O getting turned into a cartoon without it being sanitised to all hell.

The whole point is how hosed up they all are in their own unique ways. Take that away that toxic share-house druggie foundation and you just have a bunch of talking animals living together, like a furry F.R.I.E.N.D.S. episode.

It'd be more tolerable if they ever had those stakes pay off, but the show keeps trying to pile on more and more mysteries while having its principle cast utterly disinterested in the forces that are upending or influencing their lives despite making a big deal out of them.

Bad animation has been around forever, usually because of the total lack of animation and design budgets. But the first deliberately 'ugly' adult cartoon I remember that's not some labour or love from the 60s or 70s is South Park.

I know after it first came out, there were endless lovely copycats made by people who only saw the lovely craft paper animations and kids swearing and churned out so many shows that just missed the point of why people like the early seasons of South Park so much.

And now I think all that combined mass of bad shows has turned into the 'standard' for adult shows. What does an adult cartoon look like? Here are 100 shows in our catalogue, take your cues from them. Being original is verboten and no executive will green-light anything which doesn't conform to the standard.

Of course, this ignores that all those ugly lovely shows failed.

The most recent episode of Velma revealed that the central mystery of the show involves a mad scientist who invented a machine that can swap brains. This machine was called "Scooby". I'm guessing that themachine is going to be used to put someone's brain inside a great dane at some point and that's how the gang gets a talking dog, but who knows.

A haircut is often called a 'do.

So, the people being found with the tops of their heads removed have had Scoody Do's
