>>1854359It's more frusterating if you remember that the Lust episode was the M&M's anniversary and could have dove deeper into their relationship. Could have introduced Fizz just fine. But oh no, he's also Blitzo's ex boyfriend and now those two are side characters to focus on Blitzo being an asshole to Stolas (I don't even know why people ship these two so hard)
Then he invades a Loona episode the same night
Honestly people online where shitting on Vortex, the hound that invited Loona. They were complaining he led her on. But the writers forgot to remind the audience that he told her he had a girlfriend in season one.
Ideally the episode could have been Vortex being Loona's first friend, asking why she's freaking out. Calm her down and tell her "Hey we can't date. But I invited you for a reason. You're cool girl. We'll hang more." Loona learns how to comfort someone else because of Vortex, and when she sees her dad crying on the sofa comfort her dad for the first time in her life.
BOOM! Instant character development for three characters right now. JFC I hate the writers in this show
No. 1854406
>>1854400also adding that doing the writing like this will finally give a friend only platonic relationship. Everyone wants to fuck each other in this show and it's so tiring. I barely count the father daughter relationship because it doesn't work. It just centers around Blitzo being gay at the end of the day.
I even hate how the show is hinting that Loona and Octavia will be a gay couple instead of friends. You can just be friends with someone, not everything has to be a god damn ship

It really seems to me like Viv can't draw fat women and Kesha wouldn't have voiced at fat character. But in that case, pick a fucking sin other than Gluttony! Wouldn't it have made more sense for wolf guy's girlfriend to be the queen of Envy, since the whole point is that Loona is envious of her? I'm not a HAES retard, by the way. I just think that if a character represents gluttony, they shouldn't be thin. It's common sense.

I don't know why she's pressed people are calling her out on just wanting to rebrand her old Die young animation. Even then people are right, she could have kept the furry character, just don't make her Beelzebub. Or fuck here's something? Do a separate fucking music video? She made that bad luck jack video.

Pixar advertising tried force a "Morbin tine" like meme with a minor character from Elemental
>Elemental isn’t making the best kind of records for Pixar anyways. In the first week, the movie opened with the worst box office opening for any Pixar movie, making around $30 million. Now, families who have gone to see the movie, love it and claim it to be one of the best Pixar movies in a long while. So what’s the problem? Marketing.
>Pixar may have thought they were being cool and doing something fun when creating this video, but Elemental turns one kid, Clod, into a “rizz god,” as some would say. Well, what’s rizz, and what does that have to do with anything? Rizz is slang for sweet-talking someone, and Clod is a kid trying to win over the main character, Ember with his charm. That might seem simple, but Pixar glorifies this by making a video that takes all of the scenes with Clod using his “rizz” to get Ember or someone else:

>>1854843This movie was way more retarded than I anticipated. I was laughing but not at the jokes the film made, it was the interracial relationship allegory. Ember (the fire woman) could've prevented half the conflict that happened in the movie if she just vaporized the water man. Even in the movie, she acknowledges that accidentally vaporizing him or him extinguishing her flame is a reason why they cannot BE together.
There is also this REALLY retarded part. The mother performs love readings and discovers that the two characters might be dating. She then invites her daughter and wade into a room where she conducts her readings. She tries to use this as evidence of why they can't be together, because it is typically done by two fire people igniting the candles. Wade then says, "well ackshually" stands in front of Wade, puts more mass on the top of his body, and uses that to light the other candle. I don't know why since this is probably the least stupid thing in the flim but it had me actually say "come the fuck on" out loud. The only other part of the movie that made me do that was the "crying game" part.There is also a Tif in the movie who is a lesbian but she only shows up for a couple of seconds. And you wouldn't even know if this character was a tif because wade says "this is lake and lake's girlfriend". And I just interpreted that to mean this was just a lesbian and not a gender special. Picrel is what the character and her voice actress look like. Disney really is scraping the bottom of the barrel these days kek.

>>1855041(note that I haven't watched the movie so I could be talking straight outta my ass)
Them touching each other despite previously being stated they would basically destroy each other feels it's not so much of a "love finds a way" or whatever positive message it wants to convey. It feels more like the message ends up being "even if you both are
toxic for each other, you should give it a shot anyway", really sets the ground for healthy relationships huh
No. 1855062
>>1855044I haven't seen the movie either only read the wikipedia summary, but I don't think the two main characters are
toxic for each other? Based on the plot, it seems more like other characters/element racism are keeping them apart. The "everyone else wants us apart but we love each other so much" trope isn't exactly uncommon. That aside the movie feels like Soul, where it can't decide if it's supposed to be for little kids or adults and it's overall ugly.

>>1855062>>1855041>>1855044spoiler, in case anyone actually cares, but she infact does end up vaporizing him at the end of the movie but then brings him back by making him cry lmao
also i guess they didn't know for sure if touching each other lead to other destroying the another, they just assumed and the water smothering the fire or the fire vaporizing the water could be understood how their personal differences could end up overpowering the another like the fiery (kek) temperament of the dire girl could be too much for the sensitive water dude or the water guy's sensitivity could be too smothering for the more spicy fire girl.

>Elizabeth Bank's plans a 'Flintstones' Sequel titled 'Bedrock'
>Fox has announced Elizabeth Banks' 'Bedrock' is in the works, a sequel of the iconic animation 'The Flintstones.'
>Bedrock follows the Flintstones during the transition to the Bronze Age. Elizabeth Banks is set to star in and executive produce the series.
>Announced two years ago, Bedrock is set to star Elizabeth Banks who will also executive produce the series. Banks' production company Brownstone will be working in collaboration with both Warner Bros. Animation and Fox,
>Set 20 Years After OG Series, Much like The CW's interpretation of the Powerpuff Girls, Bedrock will focus on Pebbles Flintstone 20 years after the end of the series during the transition from Stone to Bronze Age.
>Writer on DC Super Hero Girls (2019-) and Cleopatra in Space (2019-) Lindsay Kerns will be writing the series pilot script.
>Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn spoke of the new series, as well as Kerns and Banks' involvement stating,
>"[The Flintstones] imprint on the animation universe is undeniable and the idea of adapting it for today's audience is a challenge we here at Fox are very much looking forward to taking on with Warner Bros., Elizabeth and Lindsay. No pressure whatsoever, really."
>Known for her direction of Charlie's Angels (2019) and Pitch Perfect 2 (2015), as well as her acting chops in The Hunger Games films (2012-2015) and Love & Mercy (2014), there's no doubt that Elizabeth Banks is a force to be reckoned with and we can't wait to see what she does with this sequel.
Who asked for this and why Elizabeth Banks of all people? she's produced 3 mediocre films and everything else has been crap. Not to mention she's a baby trafficker.

Also, terms like "stone age" and "bronze age" do not refer to a specific time period in Earth's history, like if you were to use the geologic timescale in picrel. Those terms are used in archaeology to delineate roughly the timeframes during which a community of humans had learned to create and use such materials—different civilizations have different start and end dates for bronze ages, iron ages, and the like, so again, it's not exact.

>>1856033Honestly, the main arguments in favor of it are that we've done enough in such a short time frame, such as nuclear testing and wipespread burning of fossil fuels/use of plastics, that it would likely be detectable by future scientists.
As far as I'm aware, there is overall a fair bit of agreement that we have in fact done enough to reach that point; the debate is moreso about exactly when it would have started. Arguments span anywhere from placing it at the dawn of agriculture, all the way to the first nuclear tests and the isotopes they left behind.
Hell, if memory serves, there was a new mineral classified a few years back that arguably only exists as a result of human mining activity, and another that was discovered back in 1950 growing in a museum storage cabinet, and was the result of certain minerals being stored in oak drawers reacting with acetic acid in the wood.

>>1856549>>1856331So, I watched Nimona with my bf(who had never read the original comic) and we both ended up enjoying it, and I won't spoil anything, but a lot of things from the original comic have been changed, including character motivations, backstory, tone, world-building, relationships, etc. The only things that remain the same are a few memorable scenes and the core basis of the characters. The world in the movie is much more realized and techno-feudal, rather than the wannabe adventure time vibe of the comic. Riz Ahmed and Chloë Grace Moretz both gave surprisingly good performances (especially Riz), but Try Guys Eugene didn't quite hit the mark. Overall, I gotta give praise to the directors and screenwriters for making this an enjoyable film.

So I have a question that I'd like to ask. Does art style matter to you when it comes to shows and play a part in whether you want to watch said cartoon or not? I recently got in an argument with my sister who was saying that I should watch Fish Hooks because it's funny. I replied saying that I just wasn't interested because I found the art style unappealing which we then got into a discussion about modern day western cartoos and I explained that I simply just don't find a lot of them appealing to look at.Keep in mind, I was talking mostly about the mainstream big 3 networks consisting of Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel. To give age context, I'm in my very late 20s.
Anyway to me I just don't much care for how overly simplified a lot of cartoons on these networks have been looking. I'm not the most tech savvy in explaining it but what I mean is that so many of them hav the same old overly simplistic character design with bland generic looking backgrounds and just the way the coloring look. And it's just to a point where when I see this style, I'm just not interested in watching the show. I don't "hate" the style or anything but I'm just disinterested in it. Amazing World of Gumball, Steve Universe, We Bare Bears, Summer Camp Island, Big city Greens, etc. The art styles just don't appeal to me.
Anyway my sister ended up calling me a "negative hater" because of this and it just got me wondering if I'm the only one who feels apathetic to the modern day western cartoon style?
I think my biggest problem with a lot of these shows is just how "samey" they feel. I come from a background of growing up with the usual millennial cartoons like Dexter's Lab, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Spongebob, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Invader Zim, etc. And the thing is that a lot of these shows had pretty simplistic character design as well but I think that along with that, each show had a vastly different look to them (for the most part) even done to the coloring of the shows and I feel like that is something missing with a lot modern cartoons (excluding things you see on Netflix where there is a lot of varying art styles)
Anyway I'm curious what others think on this topic.
No. 1857155
>>1857053YES. From looking at different shows, mediums like video games- it’s more apparent now than it was a decade ago but people expect SOMETHING from an artstyle. It’s an art form and it helps convey what the medium is producing or helps subvert expectations.
You can see this with the mass produced Rick and morty style, gravity falls, anime, ect.
I mean, how often have you tried to get into the show because the artstyle was somewhat decent or appealing?
A little off topic but I think that’s why shows like Steven Universe and Hasbin Hotel stood out, it wasn’t really the writing, when you look at the trailers the artstyle stands out, and both at the time looked unique in their own right
No. 1857159
>>1857155AYRT. Yeah like I don't mind if an art style is simplistic but I like when said simplicity comes with something unique that makes it different from the other. Invader Zim was simplistic but the characters hard starch angular bodies with bold line, almost comic-like and of course the atmosphere of the show was darker. Then you compare that to a show like Xiaolin Showdown that was also simplistic but had this very oriental look to it.
Many of these new cartoons just looks so samey that they could co-exist within each other.
>Steven Universe & Hazbin HotelI'll admit that I didn't really enjoy Steven Universe but I will agree that it definitely had an art style that made it stand out even though it too was pretty simplistic in style. But yeah Hazbin Hotel and even Helluva boss for all the ragging it can get, at least you can say for better or worse, it does stand out among the other modern cartoons you see on the big networks.

>>1857894i am not talking about animation, but the core designs. The first season of Venture bros had very limited animation, it was pretty much a low budget anime where only the mouths moved, but the character designs salvaged it and it's why the newer seasons could improve upon the animation and char designs. I honestly dont understand why something as ugly as bob burgers exists, even the movie, with top dollar animation, looked like absolute horse shit. There is no salvaging such hideous char designs and artstyle. I also cant believe the fox/disney executives made MORE of these abominations, there are like 3 other bob burger ripoffs with the same hideous artstyle. Even simpsons ripoffs in the 90s and early 00s had very diverse artstyles(mission hill, duckman, oblongs) , so i dont understand why it got so bad now.
No. 1857911
>>1857901Well the core designs are designed that way to be faster and easier to animate. VB designs are more specific and require more “special poses” (usually done by character design) where BB is a lot of symbols, less action intensive, easier to keep on model. I guess there’s also appeal in making them crude and childlike to be “subversive” rather than immediately adult LOOKING like something out of a graphic novel
>Even simpsons ripoffs in the 90s and early 00s had very diverse artstyles(mission hill, duckman, oblongs) , so i dont understand why it got so bad now.Advances in technology. That’s it. They’ve found new ways to cut corners so they’re using them. Note that there are SO many more “adult” animated series now than there were then…it’s because it is so much easier and cheaper to slap together a show now than it was then.

>>1857313Thank you anon and all the others who responded, it's nice to know I'm not alone in these thoughts. My sister's commen really did put me into thought on whether I truly am just being a "hater" on modern animation which I know isn't true because I actually do like some modern shows's art styles like Aggretsuko, Castlevania, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbe. Heck I even ike Helluva boss's art style ignoring some of the dumb character design choices like with Beelzebub, at least it stands out and looks different than what we're seeing with the stuff like you metioned (Craig of the Creek, Breadwinners, etc).
I think it's because networks want people to have these boring and soulless styles because they don't cost much to animate which may save them money but end up farting out bland, unappealing shows.

also lo and behold "incredibly beloved character Ariel is evil now and you dumb stupid sheeple sucked for ever liking her in the first place" as your only hook and gimmick actually alienates audiences rather than drawing them in. i'm not particularly attached to ariel myself but goddamn. at least shrek was smart enough to lampoon the vintage disney princesses, even genuine fans can admit snow white can come off a little strange today. that doesn't translate at all to "lol u know how we all hate cringe ariel!" like no, the people really don't. now they just don't like you ruby grubhub looking ass

>>1858498It’s actually so tragic, because they could’ve done so much more with this movie. Like, the fucking “Romeo and Juliet” plot was basically served on a silver platter, but ofc they don’t have the balls to have an openly lesbian relationship in their shitty cartoon. The amount of “mermaids are actually evil” in their promo made me think they will do a propaganda commentary, and the
toxic grandma (who literally drove away her only daughter and grandchildren because of the hatred towards a DIFFERENT RACE, basically also capture a bit of the shitshow that Hailey’s casting caused for the Little Mermaid) would be the villain. They could’ve done “Chelsea might be cool in human world, but she doesn’t fit in the ocean world all that well” to do the relatable moment and bond her and Ruby together. They could still keep the betrayal, but justify her trying to destroy human world with the pollution/exploitation of the ocean/parental expectations and then deescalate it with a good ol’ fight. Instead they decided to fully ride the “generational trauma” train just like all the other “popular” movies. Like, it was fun once/twice/thrice, but now LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE of Disney movies is a generational trauma one, I am so done

>>1858288I'm curious about the original version of this movie "Meet the Gillmans". The change from Ruby knowing to not knowing is huge and I'd love to page through that script to see how the original story played out.
"The plot for Meet the Gillmans is the story of a typical teenage girl, Ruby. Growing up in a seaside town in Florida. Like all teenagers, she’s embarrassed by her family. Only in this case, Ruby has extra reason to be embarrassed; because she’s from a family of …sea monsters. No one in town knows this (the Gillmans are “different” but the locals chalk it up to them being from Canada), but poor Ruby is scared to death that someday the truth will come out. If this happened, what would become of her social life? It would be calamitous. Naturally, the truth comes out, and disaster ensues."

>your family/traditions was the real villain all alongIs getting obnoxious. I just don’t give a tiny single little fuck about these people that have to carry the burden of this oh so terrible trauma of living in a nice place and having the chance to start again and get along with new people. I know it’s more than that but it always seems weird to me how most of the times it’s the maternal figure (grandma/mom/aunts) who is the bad guy, I know that lame ass buzz lightyear movie and elemental have the dad as the bad guy, but it still leaves me with a sour taste when the mom is the evil mastermind behind the child’s misery.

>>1858598 That's literally most movies now about the generational trauma. Conflict comes from misunderstanding or within and no one is really the villain. Moana's dad was the 'generational trauma' not-really-villain, it's the exact same thing as other movies with this theme imo.
Sry if you were being sarcastic.
No. 1858670
>>1858617I didn’t want to say that directly because it comes as tinfoily.
But yeah, I know some parents suck ass and some families are dysfunctional and makes the lives of everyone else quite miserable.
But haven’t you noticed how most of the times they’re families that are somewhat okay? Maybe it’s some “oh you can’t see the deep conflict inside a seemingly perfect/decent family” kind of thing and I’m not noticing that because in the end they’re not really selling a perfect family, just average families.
I would understand generational trauma as something like say, pick the kraken movie and make it that the girl has divorced parents and her mom’s side has krakens, so she has to know who is her mom and maybe try to get along with her even though she got divorced, so after lots of awkward moments, she notices how her mom is actually a huge bitch, fights her and understands that just because she’s genetically related to her mom, doesn’t mean she has to be like her, and her dad had his very understandable reasons to divorce her mom.
I feel like that’s relatable enough considering how divorces are so common.
But the families in these movies are just tense at best, they’re not really complete dysfunctional disasters that makes the generational trauma that terrible or even relatable.
In the end, I don’t even understand the need to do those types of stories so many times, Rapunzel has that, Snow White too, Cinderella as well, those are the stories with generational trauma that are more than enough, other than that it’s just overkill. Plus, they’re just telling the kids to solve the issue themselves, not telling the parents “hey you suck ass get your shit together”.
I think there are other big issues to tackle in the real world that can be reflected in media, like herd mentality, or how you don’t need to constantly see things in black and white because there’s more to live than joining meaningless battles.
>>1858526Come on,
nonnie, you know damn well that no big studios will ever do a Romeo and Juliet romance or any sort of romantic plot with lesbians, don’t you know that women expressing love to other women is a fetish for men and it’s dirty to see two women holding hands? You definitely can’t show that to the kids, it will turn the frogs lesbians.

>>1858526The advertising campaign for this movie was terrible from the start, and knowing the twist and actual story for this movie was also a major disappointment. If Dreamworks wanted to one-up Disney, they really should have gone for the Romeo and Juliet plot like you said, and have Chelsea actually be the daughter of the evil mermaid.
Even without romance, the idea of a friendship between girls from warring families would have made this movie more interesting than it actually wound up being.

Like, of you're a shitty cook, you're not "blacklisted" from working at a restaurant. Doctors can lose their licences and Lawyers can be disbarred, but it's possible to reverse those things. What recourse does someone have if they get blacklisted for, se, revealing that they've been sexually assaulted by a guy with a lot of industry clout?

Crossdressing Moxxie was endearing I will admit and I love the unintentional terfy vibes. Moxxie acted like a stereotypical troon man and received the response that I'm sure many women have with IRL troons even if they may not feel confident admitting it. Love to see it.
It was also nice to see Millie in a situation where she wasn't a badass killer and got to unwind. It's a shame that she had to pretend to be a boy to do it but eh, I'll take what I can get kek.

nonnie, I wrote DRAWN cp for a reason, because that’s what it is and what it’s trying to convey—sexualized drawings of children—and you still have to add onto it saying it’s not actual cp. There’s a reason why “art” like this is illegal in many countries because it’s falls under the category of heinous sexual illustrations of children.

>>1863917The biggest problem with western animation trying to imitate anime is that a lot of them don't understand the appeal. They often lack in good animation, interesting character design and expressive settings. Just parodying it with a transformation sequence is a far cry from what actually causes anime to have any appeal. No one is expecting western animators to make Violet Evergarden or anything but Voltron/SheRa are just disappointing. They try a bit too hard to be something they aren't.
I think avatar the last airbender is the best result you could get. It blends the styles and ideas of western animation and anime without feeling like a parody of either. The animation is there, the character design is distinct and the settings are interesting. Not saying that this criteria matches all anime (I've watched a lot, it doesn't) but for the ones that these series often try to act like, it does. It's obvious that a lot of the western animators watch anime and want to incorperate it into their works. I just feel as though they misunderstand why some things work and others don't.

>>1863835They've already done an actual anime Batman. In 2018, WB hired a Japanese team to make an anime, Batman Ninja. In it, due to time travel shenanigans, everyone in Arkham Asylum and in Bat clan (except Batgirl for some reason) goes back to feudal Japan and Batman has to defeat his villains and take them back to the future all without messing up Japan's past. In order to defeat all he villains, Batman and co have to learn 'the way of the ninja'. And there are giant robots. True to form, the English dub differs from the Japanese version. The plot is the same but a lot of the dialogue differs.
And there is the half anime from 2008, the Batman: Gotham Knight anthology, where the animation was done by Japanese studios, but the writing and voice acting was done by Americans.

what i'm saying is, exactly like men, we like to have our jackoff material too. and it doesn't need to be groundbreaking stuff. when something is shallow fangirl bait or shipping bait that means it's purely or primarily been made as jackoff material, which has always existed, just for women's libido rather than for mens tastes. there is a lot of money to be made in womens libido, studios will continue to cater some of their projects to it, while others will cater their projects more towards our intellects and craving for artist merit and good storytelling, as women tend to demand both. that's the way media has always worked. men should be grateful women are so passionate about animation that we are still demanding and watching quality art that even men can appreciate. our fangirl horny series will exist on the side for women to enjoy when the mood strikes, without interrupting womens consumption and creation of high quality animation and storytelling. and you all sound so fucking stupid to complain about fangirl shit with its meager presence in the industry and minimal but natural presence in our lives as pure sex release . like do get a grip

Frankly, I'm more annoyed probably-Jor-El is a hot pirate looking guy and Livewire isn't impish and mean spirited. She's a badass paramilitary type for some reason?
Overall, I'm happy Superman is getting a show and they're not trying to make him "gritty." I was a bit disappointed they aged everyone down, but they're pulling it off for the most part and are obviously trying to appeal to tweens and teens.
The main trio has a good starting dynamic. I just hope they cool it with Lois' crush on Clark, it seems a bit out of character and fucks up the pacing. And I hope the precocious newspaper kid gang doesn't return, too… I almost shut the show off for good after that scene.
Hopefully the writing improves after they've established everything.

victim for it to be declared illegal or arrestable. unless she like lives in a country that has that type of art illegal, authorities aren't gonna do anything about it. worst is she could be arrested based on obscenity laws.
people say it's stimulated csem but the only actual time "drawn cp" is legally considered as such is if it's like an obvious trace of an irl child, heavily based on an existing child (shadman for ex), or Ai/deepfakes. I am well aware pedos do use lolisho porn as an outlet but I'm skeptical it's what causes someone to be that way in the first place if they weren't initally.
there's hardly little to no solid proof of that happening when usually its the other way around. someone already having pedophilic thoughts getting into it can make them likely to offend if it's not keeping them at bay since they're aware they arent actual children, just cartoons that vaguely look the part.
however, I can't blame other nonnas for being concerned with someone drawing this type of content working in children's media.
for record this isn't me defending pedos but rather explaining why lolisho porn legally isn't classified as csem in most countries and that there isn't enough researched evidence to imply there's a connection to it in those who develop a pedophilic disorder.

>>1854359>literal fanfiction tierI honestly thought that was the point of the show. Like, it's all over the fucking place with what it wants to be, so I figured it was the director's pet project catering to fujos.
The music and singing aren't awful per se, but they are amateur tier and the show insists on having a song each episode. It's like it wants to be Disney level show tunes, but the artists involved don't have the lyrical or compositional talent so you're just waiting for this forgettable song to be over.
The episode's pacing is just broken. New characters are introduced every episode but then the show spends so much time on them that we don't spend any time on the main characters or understand their motivations behind their reactions.
The characters themselves are fun and I want to know more about them, but every episode I just really get the feeling that's never going to happen because the director wants to instead use them as her Barbie dolls to act out whatever fan fiction she's got on her mind at the moment.
Character design is amazing and it stays very true to its style, the animation and choreography is well thought out, so I wish the show was overall better because I think they could really get a huge following if they stopped giving in to their whims and started treating it like a professional job.

almost all animation in America is outsourced to places like canada/korea/japan. With the exception being that most of the 3d feature animation is done in house although they also outsource to places in Vancouver or other studios. That's why when you see the end of animation movie credits there will be multiple studios listed. Sorry if I over explained.
In house they usually do the storyboards and then ship them off to an animation studio to do the animation.
No. 1868187
>>1863917Late, but the reason anime never looks so bland like western animation these days is because anime has a very established pipeline (most of the time). You either have animes made off of mangakas who only get popular based on their style and writing, or you have studios that have their own style entirely when they make in-house series.
We don't have anything like that in the west. We have people that put themselves into debt to get art degree connections and then try to make it in an industry that hates taking risks and very rarely gives women a chance, unless they get into some weird moid drama that vaults them into an opportunity. Most people who have style and good ideas are gatekept and only end up doing indie stuff, because that's all that's available to them.

Harley Quinn was a major risk the 90s DC animation team took and it paid off handsomely. Livewire is another cartoon adaptation creation beloved by comics fans. I'm glad capeshit isn't treated like some sacred cow by animation teams, even if I disagree with their direction.

As a brown lesbian myself who also likes other brown masc-leaning girls, this feels really minor to me?
Not a racebait, but I unfortunately can't say the same for girls with their husbandos almost always being essentially pale/white tumblr sexymen. Just browse through husbando threads here and you'll see women preferring pale/white males. I hardly ever see these girls fawning over specifically brown–not just tanned–boys. If anything, brown boys are often infantilized in fandom spaces, but never lusted over. Though, I'm wondering if it's an OSA woman issue, since I know lesbians fawn over black/brown women characters more in comparison, like Korra (picrel) and the like.
Just my two cents.

To think, all this started cause of one fairly low budget (by Disney standards, less than 100 million dollars) reimagining of Cinderella (which itself was tapping off the success of "dark" fairy tale films that were somewhat popular at that time) that turned out to be massively financially successful and praised by critics for changing up the story, and a later Maleficent film that was also massively successful. producers thought they had a guaranteed money-makers and have been making these live-action remakes to the point that people got sick of them. Now they've run into the same problem they had with animated films. they're far too expensive and time-consuming to make and two or more flops mean massive failures and layoffs.

>>1873856Viv is actually so dumb for this. So many of us read lesbian/gay stories all the time that have great writing and interesting characters on top of an interesting setting (if fantasy/scifi). People describe her story as being fanfiction like because it has many fanfiction tropes such as flanderising characters previously shown to be flawed but likeable to being a sad abused gayboi who needs to be saved by his love interest. Stolas used to be the lewd guy who actually really cared for his daughter despite causing her harm. She meant so much to him that he tries to change to become a better dad. But now when he's basically at death's door he thinks about the guy he fucks who doesn't even express affection for him. He thinks about his contract fuckbuddy over his daughter. What a fucking joke.
It's so frustrating seeing homophobia being thrown around as a defence because most people who get this criticism haven't dealt with a second of it their entire lives. Most people criticising this show's decline aren't homophobic. They're calling out poor writing and characterisation changes that people expect to see in fanfiction.

They take any backlash from their longtime audience as evidence they're morally just, rather than lacking in artistic and business acumen. Kind of like Disney's live action lineup.
What's weirder is they've been making fun of their neckbeardy superfans for along time with characters like Deadpool and Lobo- they're both widely liked and fun for more normie fans.

Poison Ivy should've totally been a manhater, that would've made for a great full-on villain.

>>1879995>>1879910In the beginning I can see how all of this is unbelievable since it’s only a few who said it and anyone who drags on about shot themselves in the foot (the animator Erin Frost for example) but now that more stories are coming out, the way Viv reacts nowadays on Twitter, and how there’s no update whether HH is coming this summer or not it goes to show that something is up and it’s not good.
I remember seeing twitter posts about job opening every few months and it makes me wonder if staff is being treated horribly to the point where turnovers are happening. I get it’s a freelance contract job but with them finding people often under a short amount of time it really makes you wonder what the fuck is going on at Spindlehorse.
I used to be a die hard fan since the beginning of the HH pilot episode and the first season of HB, but now I’m just starting to lose interest since Season 2 is falling flat and drama seems to happen on Twitter everytime someone dares to bring up the obvious since those hardcore fans would harass them off the internet if they hurt their precious leader vivzie. Rather than flaming out the fire by calling out the people who does shit like this, Vivzie puts gasoline in it by being dramatic about it. That’s not way of making your fan base nor your image look good. It’s no wonder the rumor of A24 giving her the pink slip sounds believable since her behavior is setting an example of what bad professional reputation looks like.

I'm not too sure how the dispute between Vivziepop and A24 could lead to her losing the rights though, studios usually settle that with contracts before working together, no? Perhaps this may be about her being booted from the showrunner position which led her to lose any kind of control she got from A24. I'll keep an eye on the situation while remaining skeptical but to think this could be real is fucking hilarious. I've known about Vivziepop since that weird adoptable drama and when she sperged about Zootopia because of her comic Zoophobia so I'm not surprised in the slightest if this is true.

>>1883012There are amazing kids tv shows that are on Amazon such as Pete the Cat and Tumbleleaf (stop motion kids show) that don't have lore, pacing issues, or a overstimulation/random twitter humor. They are just pure kids shows for little kids to enjoy and learn about different concepts and ideas while characters sing, laugh, and go on adventures. Kids shows targeting kids 4-6 years old.
Unfortunately they have no clout because of this and no one talks about Pete the Cat or Tumbleleaf. My theory is that Bluey is a breakthrough hit because the parent characters are targeting the parents in the audience. Of course the animation, stories, music, and characters are great but also 'oh em gee it's not just a show for little kids! There's an episode about XYZ which is sooo deep!"

No. 1886754

Vivziepop made a large donation to the Lackadaisy kickstarter on behalf of her studio (possibly to get a producer credit) and a member of the Lackadaisy crew called her out in a tweet for being performative and announcing it publicly without linking to the actual kickstarter. Viv’s fans threw a fit and went looking for dirt on the crew member, found that she’d liked a few tweets that were critical of trans inclusion in women’s sports, and started calling her transphobic. A few people on the Lackadaisy crew have come out in support of her.

A retarded TiF tried to argue to me a while back that Gluttony has to be skinny because she temps people into her sin, and no one would be tempted by her if she were fat. As if "thicc" isn't a gigantic trend, and as if there aren't fat characters that are also sexy out there.

This is similar to how they shout "sex work is work," conveniently leaving out the fact that most "sex workers" are impoverished or trafficked women who have no other choice but to sell their bodies to survive. They believe that symptoms of oppression are actually good by nature of their relation to the oppressed, assuming that these symptoms were the result of freely made choices and a healthy subversive "culture" rather than the result of horrific persecution.
The primary mistake being made is that they look at gay history and see hookup culture, public sex, prostitution, and kink, and they assume this was all the result of marginalized people with nothing left to lose "living authentically," rather than living restrictively and self-destructing out of anguish in response to overwhelming persecution and stigma. As a result, they believe that the degeneracy and hedonism erroneously associated with gay people are
also wrongfully condemned inborn and harmless traits, just like homosexuality is, despite the fact that that's blatantly untrue. Degeneracy and hedonism are choices people make that are inherently harmful to either themselves, others, or both, whereas homosexuality isn't a choice and harms no one (when removed from the context of the persecution of SSA people).

On the topic of Simon, I really enjoyed getting a whole episode of how much he feels like a misfit in this new world. I was really wondering with how he would cope living in the whimsy world of Ooo.
I honestly quite liked both episode 1 and 2, but I don't know if it's because I'm just happy to see more AT or if it's because I in general enjoy different takes and angles of franchises I like.

>>1892210>it was unfortunate that the last arc of the series was made by a pedophile, forever tarnishing the series.I feel I should explain this, sage for technically not being OT but super old-milk, So Elfquest was created by Wendy and Richard Pini,(with Wendy being the primary creative influence). The comics gained immense popularity in the 70s and 80s. There were even discussions about adapting the series into an animated format, but those plans fell through due to Wendy's insistence on including sex scenes, which she felt were crucial to the story, she also wanted the male characters to remain "pretty." For a considerable period, the series enjoyed success but eventually started to decline, with its peak followed by a slight dip in popularity. To continue the storyline, an indie comic artist and publisher named Barry Blair was put in charge of a sequel series. However, this sequel storyline was not well-received, mainly due to the art style and the story itself.
Now In Elfquest, the male characters were always depicted as attractive, which helped attract a large female audience. However, Barry Blair took this to an extreme by drawing overly youthful and adolescent-looking boys for even the adult male characters. Moreover, the female characters suffered from "same-face/same-body syndrome," where they all looked similar intentionally. The male characters also exhibited unusual passivity in this particular storyline and were wearing bizarre outfits that had never been seen in the series(stuff like picrel)
Turns out Barry Blair had a history of drawing porn involving young boys being tortured or sexually abused by creepy older men or dominatrix-esque women. I want to give Richard and Wendy the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were unaware of Barry's actual pedophilic tendencies. But further details regarding Barry Blair's actions and his attraction with young boys can be would come to the general public with comic artist Dave Cooper's work, "Dan & Larry In Don't Do That." It was also revealed that Barry had employed several teenage boys, and his actions were apparently an open secret, he died in 2010 of a a brain aneurysm.

>>1895583Aside from the retarded coincidences Viv had to make up so she could have her hostage fantasy as poor excuse to show her tsundere uwu sad gay boi couple, the character development and tone of this episode are just so so bad. So the episode starts off with this fanfiction-tier (seriously, it's awfully corny) scene where Fizz and the lust demon flirt non-stop, because she HAS to spell out that they're a couple (I think Viv also has a problem with not being subtle at all), then for some bullshit reason Fizz goes somewhere, meets Blitzo who also is there for no reason, they bicker and get caught by Striker who is there for bullshit reasons.
There's a scene where the lust demon gets so angry because his uwu pwecious gay boi is in danger uwu and he wants to wreck the place because this is an efp fanfiction story with overly dramatic and on the nose writing.
Blitzo and Fizz bicker again, Brandon Roger's sad acting is awful and they constantly shift between sex jokes, swear words, some actual backstory about how they're sad innocent gay bois, and then they make peace with each other in like 2 minutes after one season and a half spent telling us how much they hated each other. More unsubtle dialogue about their gay relationships along the lines of "n-no it can't be it, I-I don't love him! But wait, I actually do! D-does he love me? He can't possibly love someone like me!! Oh wait, he does!" and then they cry and then they talk about dicks again. Some uninteresting things happen, there's a musical number featuring Fizz's grating voice, they go back, all is good, the gay bois are safe and they uwu love each other.
Almost no female characters in sight. The only ones I saw were the servants, Fizz's dogs, and Blitzo's dead mother in a picture kek. I wonder if she realizes just how self-indulgent and cringy this kind of fanfiction writing is. It's just so unprofessional and tropey, and I say this as someone who enjoys gay pairings in fiction.
No. 1896082
>>1895583Just watched the episode and the biggest problem was the tonal shifts. Granted this issue is painfully consistent with viv's IPs and it shows.
The part where Blitzo and Fizzeroli taking about their past would have been so much better if there weren't awkward sex jokes there. The reasons as to why fizz was even in greed were insanely contrived and kinda dumb. The worldbuilding is very shaky so it's hard to tell what things are where and why demons would need to or want to travel between rings outside of basically sightseeing. I know Fizz made a joke about getting milk but I doubt anything he went shopping for wouldn't be in the lust ring- anything and everything is a fetish to someone. Surely lust demons would prey on that?
I don't really care for most of the shipping stuff and fuel but I'm kinda glad we got the backstory between Blitz and Fizz. Anyone who knows what it means to truely hate someone knows that a single conversation would never have you forgive anyone. Even if it's a misunderstanding you'd take a while to move past it.
For a free to watch series it's alright. Nowhere near as insulting as s2e3 or as clunky as s2e4 (with the back and forth between MM vs striker and blitzo and luna at the hospital). The recent episode was alright.
No. 1896089
>>1895988It really does seem like she retconned Fizz and Blitzo's backstory, kind of like she did with Stolas meeting Blitzo as a child. If Blitzo is willing to take the blame, wants to apologise and it was all a misunderstanding, then why was he so aggressive towards him in the first place?
>>1896057Striker is such a wasted character. He was cool the first time he appeared and now he's just a comic relief villain that appears randomly sometimes. I was hoping his hate for royals would get some depth and his relationship with Stella expanding would be a nice thing, it would also give Stella some space to be fleshed out. But Viv hates women and anyone who isn't a sad gay boi so no I guess.
Also where did the "royals can't be with lower creatures" go? It was the entire point of the song at the lust lounge place (despite everyone in the latest episode agreeing that Fizz and Ozzy's romantic relationship is an open secret) and also one of Stella's reasons for trying to get Stolas assassinated, but so far all the big royal demons are in relationships with lower imps/hellhounds.

Rewatched Blitzo's dream sequence in season 1, and so many things from this scene alone now contradicts how he's pictured in season 2. The imagery with Stolas isn't particularly romantic, it's Stolas looking down on him while Blitzo is cuffed and chained to him while looking obviously sad/unsure as he's crawling up the stairs, clearly symbolising that he's feeling chained to a deal he isn't feeling he's getting up on top of and might even be looking for an out. The entire first season is spent on building him up as this selfish, conniving asshole with a serious case of FOMO that puts himself first and adding what was going on in the rest of the dream it's implied that while he has willfully hurt the people around him to gain what he wants, he's being regretful for the harm he's done he'd rather cover his eyes to it and lash out than confront them becuase of his pride - it would have laid the groundwork for some really interesting character development if she hadn't turned it all around into accidents and misunderstandings in this season to remove him from all accountability to help him grow and just make him an uwu innocent cinnamonroll.
No. 1896429
>>1896427Samefag, also want to add this season could possibly have been somewhat salvaged if she had a decent co-writer and didn't use the first draft. In my own example:
>Episode 1: If the backstory is necessary, follow up on what happened after Blitz goes home with what he stole. Have Stella be indifferent to the arranged marriage, making a point to Stolas that she isn't a fan either but it's what is expected of them as royalty, but still being an obvious prideful and blunt person without being evil. Remake the entire scene of Stolas and Blitz meeting up again, the pacing is ridiculously weird. Maybe make Stolas offer to pay for Blitzo's time and Blitzo mistaking it as him buying sex which he's fine with since he was after the book anyway and still have Brandon's immature sex jokes weaved in somewhere. >Episode 2: Instead of having Blitzo and Stolas being pulled away to a studio, have them keep on bickering about what happened in the season finale and Blitzo constantly being mistaken for an actor on the street making him more and more full of himself until they have a huge fight. Meanwhile Loonah and Octavia have their talk, but end up in trouble where Stolas and Blitzo join up to save them and in the end agreeing to bury the hatchet.>Episode 3: Just scrap the entire thing. If it's necessary to have an episode introducing Moxie's mob dad, make him instead overly supportive of Moxie being bisexual by idk wearing rainbow socks, just not making it all about cocks, to turn the intimidating mob boss stereotype on it's head. Don't have Moxxie spell out that he is bisexual, it was already implied during season 1.>Episode 4: Scrap it.>Episode 5: Put more focus on them trying to figure out the mystery and spend time in the human world, have the guy in the beginning be a red herring. Have Blitz also take part from the start, the team haven't done a hit together in a while after all. If Moxxie HAS to dress up as a trashy Regina George, make Blitzo attempt "getting down with the kids" by imitating Fortnite dances or something. The setting for this episode story is literally made to be a cringe fest so might as well lean into it. >Episode 6: If the FizzxOzzy relationship is absolutely necessary, perhaps as a way to mirror Stolas and Blitzo, don't have them be overly flirtatious or Ozzy treating Fizz like a fragile doll. Have them act as business partners and don't reveal they have an affair until the very end, implying that the song at the season finale was them projecting onto Stolas and Blitzo. Rewrite how they ended up in the hostage situation, but instead of them having an emotional moment they - similar to episode 2 - work together to get out of the situation but Fizz making a point that he still hates Blitzo for what he's done and perhaps have a flashback from his (Fizz's) point of view, with Blitzo still feeling too regretful, or perhaps clinging on to his pride as the self-appointed villain in his own life, to apologize or explain himself as they separate leaving room for them to resolve it another day.

There was a significant drop in viewership around episode 6, where the entire premise revolved around "liking things from the past is bad actually, because they were
problematic." This message seemed beyond hypocritical, as the show itself only exists due to nostalgia for the 2000s. It was like biting the hand that feeds you and mocking the audience. As a result, many people, including myself, stopped watching.

Adam Muto even straight up said that the reason for including the male version of Bubbline was to indirectly show what Marcy and Bonnie's relationship was like the first time they dated. You retards are really just allowing your weird autistic hatred of fujoshis to cloud your better judgement at this point.
>All about her in her pantiesHave you actually seen the show? It was a joke, the kind no one would bat an eye at if it were a male character.

Fionna is miserable for the rest of the episode because she realizes she butchered a bunch of innocent candy people just because she felt compelled to for Winter King's sake. It's framed very negatively, because it's literally an older man manipulating a younger woman.
Nitpicking a show you clearly haven't even watched isn't milk. Go be retarded somewhere else.

>>1898842>>1898834Fionna is 29 or 30. Simon was 45 when he put on the crown, so that's his biological age in instances where he's still cursed. Main universe Simon resumed aging after Golb digested the crown, so he's biologically 57. Not that it matters, because
they don't get together, the Winter King dies after she kisses him. The puritanical zoomers screaming about her design being too sexy or the age gap are freaking out over nothing. It's a fucking cartoon for adults, not a program to teach babbies how to dress modestly and who to date. Take off your diapers and learn how to engage with media like adults for a change.

>>1897003Reminds me of how many comic writers hated Jim Shooter (like really hated him to the point they'd have his stand-in get murdered). Simply put, he wanted the writers to be actual writers. Creators resented him for forcing structure on them, and executives resented him for giving writers royalties. No one seemed to like him, despite him making Marvel a financially viable company and making being a comic creator a more viable career. His decisions included changes, such as creative decisions like not having Jesus Christ be a recurring side character who saves Ghost Rider, avoiding frequent crossovers, keeping series within their own comics, and not having female characters be near naked every other issue. He also had decisions like disallowing openly homosexual characters as well.

>>1899671Also, many of the early female comic writers(Louise Simonson, June Brigman) were given jobs of big name titles during his tenure as well (whether that would have happened if there was another man running Marvel Creatives is debatable). However, he gave female writers an equal shot as much as the men. Nevertheless, many were fired as well because he had a strict deadline system with comics. Anyone who failed to get a comic made by the deadlines received no pay, and if they failed multiple times, they were fired, so yeah he has a complicated legacy.
>>1899823Kinda ironic that out of everyone that worked with in comics, the stern, no-nonsense boss who was the most interested in reality looked the most like a comic book character. He was 6'7, with a massive jaw and frame, as well as prominent acne scars.

>>1900326I never assume, because it's hard for me to tell when a TIF is a TIF because she's actually undergone a horrific trauma that made her hate herself and want to escape her body, or if she's just a larper who claims she has trauma beyond what other people usually have because it makes her feel more special and justified. TIMs are almost always the latter, so I can feel safe making the assumption that they're full of shit, but TIFs have a much greater chance to actually be
victims of things like rape, CSA, sexual assault, or abuse because they're female and suffer from the effects of misogyny and female oppression.
That being said, the DID larp, keloid scars, and claim that she "doesn't hate this body" while covered in self-harm scars, still binding her chest, and being so bothered by being seen as a girl that all her "alters" are he/him (usually genDID-fakers make them all different identities) do make me suspect that the girl who drew that is just a trauma-fetishizing larper with a mood disorder.

>>1900376There are several scenes where Finn is shown in his underwear in the original. Jakesuit is one episode where it happens, just off the top of my head. The fuck are you on about with this "showing off skin" shit? Are you a Mormon or something? Fionna's current outfit is no more scandalous than the shit the girls in Winx Club wore. Also, I never used the Ice King fanfic thing as an excuse, don't put words in my mouth. The creators aren't responsible for how pedophiles online respond to their show, especially because literally every cartoon attracts those sorts of scrotes online. I've seen flurries jerk it to fucking Bluey.
Stop saying every female character is a "self insert" when the majority of writers throughout the shows' histories have been men. "Finncels" on /co/ say the exact same thing, though I've literally never seen anyone say Huntress of all people is a self-insert. Why? Because she ended up with Finn? How the hell is Simon sexy or a wooby? He's acts like an asshole and people respond in kind. Why does it matter that Tumblr latched into Winter King? They're just having fun, and it's not like the character is coming back. This all comes off to me like you're grasping at straws to blame women for Adventure Time going in an artistic direction you personally dislike, even though the current and former showrunners are men and half the writers are men. The Simon stuff (specifically I Remember You and Simon and Marcy) got lots of praise from critics. It's not hard to see why they'd want to focus on him in the spin-off.
I'm not saying you have to like the show, but stop acting like there's any objectivity to the shit you're saying. It's just your opinion. You're fully allowed to just say, "This isn't for me," instead of manufacturing reasons for why it's somehow women's fault you hate the show.

>>1901309I wasn't comparing underwear jokes to designs, I was comparing the Jakesuit scene to the scene in the new show where Fionna takes off her pants, because they're both… y'know, jokes. All of the women Allergi draws look "curvaceous" like Fionna, included other female characters from Adventure Time. Why are you acting like the love triangle element was unique to Fionna and Cake? There were several episodes about Finn chasing after Princess Bubblegum, an adult woman. Marceline not only flirts with him, but admits to regularly breaking into his house while he's asleep.
It's not "grooming" when a troon character appears in a show, it's virtue-signalling. Grooming is something human beings do directly to other human beings, it's more targeted. You can feel that something is age-inappropriate without devaluing the experience of individuals who have actually been groomed by predators. You are absolutely being puritanical when you say that characters "show too much skin," you sound like a fucking old person. Especially when Fionna's original design didn't even show too much skin? Her spin-off design is more "scandalous," but she's 30, and if you take issue with how an adult character dresses in an adult cartoon, that's puritanical and retarded.
Again, you're welcome to say you dislike something without calling it pedophilia like a Twitterfag. You don't have to justify your opinion, you can just feel the way you do

>>1901343Troons putting troons in cartoons and teaching kids to accept their agenda that was literally created by pedophiles absolutely is grooming, just like showing drag queens and porn to children is. Cartoons and kids' shows are teaching kids about gender theory, which has no basis and is leading actual kids to troon out based on "feelings", eventually they will feel closer to other troon kids and will be the perfect
victim for older troons who are pedophiles. This is already happening.

The characters in it don't matter– if it's an R-rated movie, or a TV-14 show, your retarded children shouldn't be watching it.
Whether PG and Y7 shows should have subtle adult humor in them or not, (and of what kind) is a different discussion. Should SpongeBob have made a joke about prison rape? Probably not. Did Adventure Time get carried away with sexual humor? Yeah, I think so. But I wouldn't describe the teams on those shows as pedophiles or groomers. I just probably wouldn't let my own kid watch something I personally felt wasn't appropriate for their age.

The straight guy is framed as the "straight man", something I'm sure the queerios who made this find absolutely hilarious, and the black lesbian's bio says she's pretty much a pretty and fun workhorse for the rest of the band (particularly the feminine man), which I'm sure is exciting news for all the

>>1903239Your right about that. Most voice actors were former actors such as Clancy Brownm Phil LaMarr, Clancy Brown, Grey DeLisle etc. or impersonators like Bradley Baker or Frank Weller, who found they had a knack for it and continued down that path. These were actors who understood how to handle a scene. The same can't be said for modern voice actors, whose background is mostly social media sketches. I think one of the people that can be partially blamed for this is Thomas Sanders with his series "Sanders Sides". The characters in that series were different aspects of Thomas' personality, and he plays them with annoying voices. Additionally, the popularity of D&D podcasts and live-shows can also be blamed, like brandon lee mulligan, but every time he or anyone in the group does an impression, it kills me.

There are certain stylistic choices that only people who are furries or are very close with furries (indoctrination imminent) make, even with completely human characters. It doesn't exactly look like fetish content, but it's like you can sense it's non-fetish content made by someone heavily influenced by extreme paraphilias, whether it be their own or those of the people they associate with. I know plenty of people here would blame autism and call it a day, but the vast majority of autists I've met don't draw this way. It's
only the ones who associate with a certain branch of paraphilia that do.
What's with this particular brand of degens and Sonic, anyways? I don't think I've met a Sonic fan who doesn't come across as perverse in really bizarre, off-putting ways at all times.

>>1904387Well I think in her case, she seems to be terminally online or at least at one point she was and it's not surprising that she would've come across furry stuff. She gets some furry commissions. As for Sonic, I mean she's a millennial and let's be real, a lot of us millennials who played games in the late 90s, early 2000s played games like Sonic Adventure and/or Sonic Adventure 2, I used to be a Sonic fan back when I was in middle school during that time lol But that's fair ,a lot of Sonic fans can be perverse though I feel the ones who aren't, tend to not go too deep in the fan.
>>1904421I can see some truth to this. Honestly again, I'm not bothered by it personally but it's interesting to think about how this stuff can manifest. I actually looked back at her Tumblr and she had hardly next to no furry art on it so I think she stepped into the fandom when she got onto Twitter because that is where she created/posted her fursonas, the Sonic she made when Sonic Forces came out.

But when I learned that she was a TIF, it 1/2 killed the vibe for me and then when I learned that her main character Tristan from her Vamp Sabbath comic is a TIF (I didn't know this at first until I read it and saw the tit scars kek), it made me stop reading which sucked because it started out interesting. I mean she doesn't really focus too much on her character being a TIF but I can't get invested in a character who is delusional about reality kek.

Even at the time I never quite understood the in-universe mechanics of the scratch and the Alpha Session, and I couldn't keep straight how exactly all the new characters were supposed to be related to the old ones. I got the sense that Hussie didn't really care either, he had lost interest in plot coherence and just wanted to introduce a whole new cast of ship-and-cosplay-ready kids and trolls because he knew that was what the fans were craving. It's hard to put my finger on beyond just being a vibe, but I always felt like there was something meanspirited about the Alpha Universe lore (I'm thinking specifically of the ICP and Guy Fieri stuff.) It was no longer about having shared fun with the reader over goofy pop culture jokes like in the early acts, it was Hussie lampshading the fact that his autistic middle school readers would treat whatever tossed-off shit he shoveled them as a precious pearl of lore, and he thought the whole thing was stupid and was sick of having to take his creation seriously.
>>1904738I agree, and I think Hussie was happiest and at his creative peak when he was a nerd in his 20s making comics for other nerds in their 20s who shared his sense of humor and cultural references. Acquiring a fanbase of readers in their early teens fucked him up both creatively and personally, and I can't totally blame him for not knowing how to handle it.

>>1904760>I still don't think it was appropriate to basically write fanfic about graphically murdering actual people who are currently alive. Especially when both ICP and Guy Fieri seem to be reasonably decent peopleAyrt and I agree with that too, but what I'm trying to get at is that something about the way he set it up felt like a fuck you to fans who were overinvested in the lore. "This detailed alternate universe whose characters are related to the original cast in ways that you have to have an advanced degree in teenage autism to understand… guess what, its deep backstory is a bunch of tossed-out pop culture meme jokes. Now go update the wiki and take careful note of every little hint I drop about the deep dark secrets of the Great Juggalo-Flavortown War or whatever it was I called it. Idiots."
Like I said, this is more about the vibe I got from it at the time than something I could prove directly, but I got that vibe so strongly and it really bothered me. Compare it to the universe established in acts 1-4, where there are just as many gags and pop culture references, but the whole still hangs together as a meaningful fictional setting and not just a string of memes.

He introduced these new trolls even though he seemed to hate how the fandom ran with the old ones and several aspects of the story felt like they got built up for months just to end in an overt "fuck you" joke. Sometimes he got a little ballsier and said it out loud (The "Caucasian!!!" happening) but would backtrack on it. It was really obvious that he was over the entire thing and just seething at how he had to see it through and pushing how far he could go alienating the tumblr teens that were paying the bills. Autistic spergouts back and forth, he wanted to be appreciated for his genius and get his OCs respected the correct way kek. He was probably hoping to shed the
triggered tumblrites and only retain the readers who ~truly got him~ but it didn't work at all, at the time it made me stop reading because it got boring how the behind the scenes drama was influencing the story but in hindsight it's pretty hilarious.

>>1905834Speaking of Lilith, I know the show ow does not have to be "lore accurate" to actual Christian Mythology, but where the hell is she getting Lilith being Lucifer's wife from?
First thing, Lilith is not from the Bible (she's mentioned in one passage regarding vermin that will fester when a city is destroyed). Her actual historical mention is from the Tannakh (Jewish commentaries) from nearly a few hundred years after Christianity had been well established. In one version, she refuses to submit to Adam and for this, God and the angels curse her that all children born from her will die. She then curses all children of Adam and Eve, declaring that she'll eat them. The angels then declare that any child that uses their names will be safeguarded from her (it's one of those stories). She does not appear in Christian mythology for the next 1000 years(but she does appear in Kabbalah practices), only around the second wave (where there were a lot of leading feminists from Jewish backgrounds who would have been familiar with the story of Lilith). She sorta entered the fold as a reclaimed feminist icon who refused to submit to man, and from then on, she entered Wicca circles where she was wrongly assumed to be some primordial earth mother goddesses. But in absolutely no version of these stories is Lilith ever married to Lucifer, they have nothing to do with each other.

>>1905892Hazbin and Helluva boss are the animation equivalent of lolita dresses with crosses.
Viv doesn’t care about the religion for other than a sense of a deeper meaning, for easy to follow aesthetics and for the sake of having an easy theme to follow because “hell/demons/dark = bad | heaven/angels/light = good but! With a tweest!!! Because what if the bad guys weren’t that bad??? What if the good guys were actually bad?????”.
And even then, I feel like the representations of the devils, which should be so, ridiculously absolutely and absurdly easy to make, aren’t really that well done, specially with the preview of the designs of what I’m guessing are some important demons in Helluva Boss and that will surely be important characters in Hazbin Hotel at some point.

>>1905885I don't know where it comes from but I've already heard of the interpretation that Lilith was meant to be Adam's wife, refused, was cast down to hell and became Lucifer/Satan's wife (sometimes the figures of Satan and Lucifer overlap, sometimes they're two different entities). I'm pretty sure that it's a modern interpretation/misconception that comes from the fact that Lilith is the major female figure when it comes to demonology, and is therefore associated with Lucifer/Satan who is the ruler of demons. She's like a female counterpart.
Actually now that I Google it, in Jewish texts she is mentioned being coupled with Samael, who is also often mistaken for/described as Satan because he is a "seducer" and a "destroyer", so Lilith being the wife of Lucifer does have some basis, although Lucifer is another figure entirely in those texts I'm pretty sure.
>>1905834Is this surprising? She came up with the idea of Adam having an army of only female angels who are subservient to him and have vagina-related names. The one lesbian character is called Vaggie, as in vagina. She is just a huge misogynist.

>>1905763God , I hate the design choices she ended up settling on when it comes to the archangel character.
If she's going for the whole heaven/angels/light aren't as good as we think they are " type of theme , she should've made the character inhumanly attractive while keeping his personality the while giving him positive traits that cover up his actually awful personality to fit that type of theme.

>>1905871>>1906095That's typically the issue with these types of short series, they usually need another couple of episodes to fully wrap the adventure up because 10 is rarely enough. I hope they do more because I really want to see Simon join their world,
especially now that it can exist on it's own, I just feel like he would be happier there and maybe find some new love so he can finally let go of Betty (that isn't Fionna, they do have good chemistry but I love the cute friendship they have now).

>>1890720Tumblr "artists" are retarded and have 0 media literacy. There's a bunch of queer characters and subtext in literature classics, don't know why they're so obsessed with claiming Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll as part of their group as if they weren't metaphors for the worst parts of society kek.
Why do these people try to make all their gay characters uwu soft people? They took away all the morally gray interesting parts of the original book for the sake of representation and it pisses me off. Do they think twinks can't be bad people?
I do like the designs for Jekyll and Hyde though.(necro)
