Sydin posted:Turns out AoT sucked, and that's fine, just embrace the parts that are good that you like and forget about the rest. Trust me, I invested like a decade into Bleach and had to come to this same conclusion to rationalize how much time I sunk into it. Bleach was doomed the instant Ichigo and friends decided to team up with the authoritarian government right after fighting them.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Also One Piece is doing the same stupid thing the other Big 3 shonen did where they're revealing Luffy's backstory and heritage sets him as actually super important to the setting and the nexus of several powerful groups. I mean that was established pretty early on, considering that Luffy's father is a wanted revolutionary leader, his grandpa was a vice admiral, and the whole D middle name thing.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:Yes that's what I'm referring to. Not that's not 'pretty early on'. That's hundreds of chapters deep in. Luffy's dad makes an appearance in chapter 100. Granted it isn't fully explained who he is in his initial appearance. The manga does make it pretty clear he is a big deal though.

BigRed0427 posted:Left field question probably more for CD. Since Disney bought out FOX, is there anything made by FOX that was once easy to find now suddenly vanished since the buyout? HBO had a deal with Fox before the merger and it won't expire until 2022, so it will probably be a bit before films start disappearing (assuming that happens).

Captain Invictus posted:Usopp is my favorite character in one piece besides luffy. I kinda wish they had stuck with his changed design for the time skip(big fatty) instead of Ripped Badass Usopp, though I don't entirely hate that design either. I liked every crew members' pre-time skip design more than the new ones they got. I liked the simplicity of them.

DanielCross posted:On that note, wasn't it true for a while (and potentially still, but not sure) that voice gigs for anime very explicitly avoided hiring anyone associated with Abridging content? The DBZ abridged people do voice acting for anime now. The more likely explanation is that most actors for abridged content aren't very good or in the right location.

Mokinokaro posted:It's also key to note that this one is nicknamed "Sword Dad" for a reason. His relationship to the heroine is very much a protective and caring father than anything untoward. The manga version even emphasizes this in a cute way by framing any shots that would be fanservice with her in ways where he blocks the viewer.

Terrible Opinions posted:Aside from Gene himself most of those really lovely TNG writers were not from the original show. They were all new garbage writers and directors for a new generation. Like the evil black people episode "Code of Honor" was made by a whole bunch of people who had never written or directed star trek before besides Gene Roddenberry. The lady who wrote "Code of Honor" also went on to write a really racist episode of Stargate SG-1.

Dias posted:It's a good show, Americans kinda underrate it for whatever reason (it can't be racism because it's popular in Brazil also!). The poor dude that played Chris had to ask Brazilians to stop commenting random translated quotes in all of his IG posts once, haha. It aired on UPN, which had a line-up full of crappy sitcoms at the time, so even if it was good (I never watched it myself), people would just assume its like all the other sitcoms on the channel.

Arcsquad12 posted:The ephemeral nature of pop culture crazes intrigues me. You have certain entrenched properties that stick around for decades and span generations but then you have others that make a huge splash and immediately die off once the books finish or the movies end. I think a property needs to have a continuous release of content for 5 years to a decade, without an oversaturation of content (either official content or derivative knock-offs) and without any major gently caress-ups. Its why most streaming shows that release all their episodes at once go down the memory hole. People talk about a season for a week at most, and then its promptly forgotten until the next season.

Mr.Radar posted:Atrocity Guide (a channel similar to Down the Rabbit Hole) looks at the case of an indie game developer who in 2008 had what appeared to be a promising project that has still not seen a public release due (it seems) primarily to the developer's own narcissism and erratic behavior: This guy posted on something awful once promoting his game, I dunno if the video mentions this. A bunch of goons were convinced he was a puppet master genius trolling the internet, when it was pretty clear he wasn't.

Captain Fargle posted:You and I have very different definitions of normal because, to me, hiding Bible quotes and poo poo in your indie horror series specifically marketed at kids in the hope of luring them into your church when they go googling for what the secret messages are is hosed up. I haven't found any evidence that there are actually hidden bible quotes in the game. You'd figure there be a bajillion game theory youtube videos about it if there was. Sounds like something somebody made up because they are pissed that the the creator is a christian. Maybe, I'm missing something though.

I checked up on CAD on a whim like a month ago. Being woke does not mean the comics are good, they are still just as horrible as they were before. The only thing that has changed is that they are talking about political issues.

I'm just confused about why Jim Sterling's videos are the ones that stood out in the crowd. I'm assuming they got exclusive access to some information, and that was what led to their channel blowing up in popularity. They've always come across as a creepy weirdo, and I think that was by deliberate design on their part with the whole carnie thing they were going for.

Nuebot posted:Isn't the majority of world building largely pointless? Nerds latch on to world building the same way they do magic systems, because they love the pointless pedantry which is why back when we had the TVTropes threads every aspiring troper author would always write pages and pages about their world building and video gamey magic systems but not a single one would have gently caress all about narrative, character or plot structure. World building is important too. If you don't do that, you get a setting that feels like it only exists for the main characters, and detracts from the narrative. At that point, the story might as well just be set in the real world. Granted an author can obviously go too far. It also provides interesting plot opportunities.

bushisms.txt posted:The original complaint against Lindsay was from an Asian writer who was pointing out how she has a hard time getting work because people synthesize everything into being avatar like. The fact that she never actually brought that subject up or maybe you just missed it tells me this is all coming from a dishonest/uninformed view. I think it turned out that person was actually advertising their self-published books as being like Avatar.

SteelMentor posted:I loving hate this kind of translation culture war weeb. As shown in the thread, they have no loving clue what they're talking about and the galling amount of racism they shart out is... incredible. The most annoying thing about them is that you can't say a translation made a dumb choice without a brigade of people assuming you're one of those people, and you're secretly Hitler for having the audacity to disagree with a translator over a line. Yes, there are lovely people who don't know what they are talking about, and take things way too far but that also shouldn't mean criticizing a translation should always blow up into a huge culture war. At the end of day, its such a minor issue unless a person starts making personal attacks or saying something racist. Its also even legitimate in certain scenarios for non-professional translators to have an opinion because they still presumably know how to speak English. I'm talking in general, I don't care about the "sus" translation either way. I've just noticed a lot of scenarios recently where a few lovely people have a bad and lovely opinion about a translation, and suddenly the way a line is translated is turned into a huge moral issue. Granted its usually the lovely person who is trying to turn it into a moral issue, but that doesn't mean it actually is. Just to be clear, gently caress those people who are attacking translators or saying racist stuff.

I still think the absolute worst episode and one that sums up most of Doctor Who's problems is the one they decided it was a good idea for the Doctor to protect Hitler from being punished for his crimes. This is NOT because it would gently caress with the timeline, the episode goes out of its way to clearly establish that the timeline would not be effected, and it never comes up as the motive for the Doctor doing so. The episode might have worked for a fictional character, because its established that Hitler would be tortured. However, the writers deliberately chose to have a storyline where the Doctor saves Hitler and acts self-righteous about it.

muscles like this! posted:It's kind of annoying that criticism of the Netflix Masters of the Universe gets lumped in with the chud culture war garbage because it just isn't very good. I think its something that companies are deliberating doing now. Make a bad movie/tv show/whatever and emphasize how woke it is. lovely and dumb people will take the bait, and suddenly anybody who criticizes the media is a horrible human being. You even get people saying its good out of spite.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:I mean I don’t think it’s especially unlikely that the producers looked at the dailies/test screenings, realized the movie was gonna be kind of poo poo, and decided to amp up the existing culture war brush fires via twitter sockpuppetry to try and maybe get some more money back by riling up the consumption-as-activism crowd, but it’s kind of ridiculous to think that was the plan from the start Nobody is saying that in this thread though? Its all part of the marketing strategy, and doesn't really have much to do with the production of a film.
