Whew what a lie.

>>1908479>>1908424>>1907717The avoidance of 2D has never been rational, and its the sullying of its reputation in the west is entirely Disney's own fault. They devalued their 2D brand by sharting out all of those direct-to-video sequels in the 90s, then they sabotaged their own upcoming 2D projects with shit advertising so they could start using CGI to compete with Pixar and Dreamworks. They burned bridges with 2d-based artists like Aaron Blaise in the early 2000s, and laid off countless more. I personally know several people who refuse to ever work with Disney again over the shit they pulled. All so they could muscle in on the CGI fad. The old guard who knew traditional animation principles is gone, their ranks replaced with Bean Mouth retards and nepo kids.
It was never about production costs. Disney has wasted obscene amounts on a handful of box-office flops in the last ten years. They were mad that other studios reputations had eclipsed their own, and they wanted in on that racket. The shitty """live-action""" CGI remakes are also part of this scheme, they're a combination of holding-pattern, Oscar-fishing, and the misguided belief that 2D animation is a worthless money sink. Nothing reflects their bizarre hatred of 2D more than that awful Chip and Dale movie that come out last year– a film that constantly berates a character for being animated in 2d
while clearly using CGI to animate him. Then they had the nerve to call Zemeckis' films "creepy" even though their own """live action""" remakes often look just as bad if not worse.

>>1908998Celebrity voice talent inflates the budget, for one. Gotta have that now, apparently. They've also got to shart these movies out as quickly as possible and focus-group them to hell and back until you're left with an incoherent mess. Frozen 2 is a good example of this, the plot makes no sense and the movie took forever because of some feedback they got from test audiences 80% of the way into production. They had to completely revise the plot to please those retards, apparently, and I guess it was worth it because it made a boatload of money despite being panned by critics.
I know it's a little retroactively tainted by having Johnny Depp in it, but Rango looks better than literally anything Disney (not Pixar) has done in the last fifteen years. Klaus was a breath of fresh air, and looks incredible. Disney has sacrificed the quality of their work for the sake of mass-market appeal and sucking China's cock. DreamWorks and Pixar have the same problem. Seems like the only people who know how to make a good movie these days aren't working for those companies.

They literally made Dodger an adult instead of a teenager because of Billy Joel. However I don't think it set the trend as much as Aladdin did, and Katzenberg was involved with both Shrek

But, this same person has a history of suicide baiting and bizarre claims of alien abduction? And now there's a campaign by this person's followers to try and get this Kyle guy removed from a convention? How the fuck is that going to work out? Hey, this guy was deeply disturbed by this person drawing and posting what is considered by some to be CP, so they privately messaged their coworkers/friends about it, and everyone decided that they wanted to cut ties with someone that draws disturbing porn, so now that person is suicidal because of it. And that's why Kyle should leave. Because this suicidal person might actually do it this time, even though they've been threatening to kill themselves since at least 2019. If Kyle leaves, this person won't kill themselves? Wtf is going on lmao

I see posts about how Kyle DM'd friends, not co-workers or this person's employer, about how they saw what they were drawing and was disturbed and didn't want to associate with them anymore. Contacted the friends, said hey this shit is gross and I'm out, do what you want with it, but here's the reason I'm out. And now they're calling Kyle a murderer because he has disassociated from the person drawing shota/loli and the other friends of his followed suit. Some people are calling it "invader zim porn", I haven't seen the image in question. Others are refuting that it's "invader zim porn". In one post, Ang tells Kyle he's wrong for exposing her "private kinks", in another post, she chalks it up to art to "deal with her trauma" as a CSA survivor… what the fuck? This is such a mess. And layers of arguments about how people aren't being good leftists because they think drawn child sex is gross, and publicly disavowing people that do it isn't leftist… I'm getting too old for this shit man.

A bit off topic but a interesting note about Ang. One of her closest friends was a someone claiming to be a blacklisted cartoonist who's whole schtick is that she's currently in a incestuous relationship with her father. The moids on co pretty much determined her style to be very close to a animator that goes by polygotplatypus/nullbackdoorho so this could very much be a elaborate larp (at least I hope so) but a interesting rabbithole nonetheless. Said friend claimed to meet up with Ang 'irl'. She's locked now but she was posting cute relationship comics whilst her best friend is supposedly dying in agony kek. Should mention Ang has gotten in deep water twice before for supporting irl incest

I know kids like the action scenes and it's like dbz but even if that was bad and corny it still made sense. But here we have toilets for some fucking reason, in a war setting with weapons and soldiers, and there are those fucking faces which are kind of unsettling tbh because they jitter around and make those exaggerated expressions.

>>1910636That tbh sounds more like a you problem than a bigger picture that needs to be dealt with. Kids are fine looking at scary stuff catered to kids, like Goosebumps. If your parents weren't supervising you in what you were watching then it's on them, not the movie. Maybe it's because I was raised with a "if you think it's scary just turn it off, shut your eyes or walk away, it's your own responsibility" when it came to media I don't see the issue. My friends at your mentioned ages talked nonstop about Eerie Indiana, Goosebumps, Courage and other "creepy" shows for kids that occasionally had slight body horror. The only times I've heard of kids being scarred by horror is when they accidentally, or by dumb choice and curiosity, watch something they're too young for, like you did. Which, again, is the parent's or babysitter's responsibility to prevent.

>>1910663No, I get it. I'm from a similar country as anon you replied to, horror for us is a '15+' affair, you're not old enough to watch horror movies until 15, ergo you're not old enough to watch horror until 15, period.
This may have to do with how hands-off our parenting style is, kids do get into stuff meant for older kids on their own due to normalised lack of supervision. Parents are expected to both work and teachers are meant to have a hand in raising their students. If teachers have to comfort children over scary stuff geared towards slightly older kids, it takes up time meant to be raising the rest of the children. Easier to just ban scary stuff.

And when males write the content, you get ugly gassy fat scraggly unwashed scrotes being paired with 10/10 women. men cannot write because their dick gets in the way, and their dick caters to their fetish wish fulfilment, IE that attractive woman will want his crusty ass. men shouldn't be in charge of any decision making. they're best as slave-apes doing manual labor.

We had it in Scandinavia, but only if you were rich enough to pay for cable. And even then, it was daytime programming so the chances of catching it was extremely slim.
Books were translated, but books are a bit different, we have some horror books for kids since they are easier to age-segregate, those are difficult to come by unless you are actively searching for them though, and are often aimed at early teens. My recollection of Goosebumps was that they were easy to read, so not the kind of thing that a reading teen searching for spooky stories would pick up.

Though since we got movies like Ronja Robber's Daughter and Lionheart Brothers that gets pretty dark maybe we have a different thresholds on what's considered scary?
Also between grade 4 to 6 when my school had "book weeks" we would get a selection of books to choose from in my school where there always was one that was horror themed - either as actual story books or a collection of shorter stories.

I grew up in the countryside. My family could not afford cable, nor could anyone I knew, unless they lived in a huge house and their parents had really nice jobs.
Ronja & Lionheart were kids' stories, but they weren't explicitely framed as horror. I think horror was also entwined with violence to a lot of people, violence was a no-no to a lot of moms (and still is).
I recall finding horror books for grades 6 and up in my school library, goosebumps existed as well, although I recall it being very 'easy' to read compared to the horror books. We were not encouraged to read, and were punished for spending time inside the library during recess.

From the discussion above, Disney had a meeting with a women employees to intentionally make Flynn Rider handsome. The male character designers and directors are so weak and intimidated by fiction CGI men they can't even make a handsome guy unless it's important to the story and called out.

But the universe of the show (both Elena and Sofia share the same) don’t have specified nations or countries, they’re made up amalgams of different places.
When the show was announced, I think a writer or creator of the show tried to proclaim Sofia as Disney’s first Latina princess, but there was some outrage because she didn’t “look” Latina, or speak Spanish or anything like that at all. Elena was then created (by the same creator of Sofia the First) as a response to the criticism towards Sofia, and she’s more overtly Latina/Hispanic (she speaks Spanish and celebrates holidays like Day of the Dead).
I know nobody really cares but I think the show is cute so I’ll take any excuse to nag about it.

So this is absolutely messed up! Some troon comic book writer had the nerve to pitch a comic where Superboy would become a "trans-girl"? Thankfully, DC publishing had the sense to reject this nonsense. But what really gets me is that this isn't just some random nobody; this is a nominated writer who has worked for major comic book companies. One of their comics was even adapted into a live-action show. And to top it all off, this isn't the first time this has happened, there was another writer(some fujo who used to write slash-fic) who made Tim Drake bisexual.

>>1911238Wow very interesting video anon. I was confused at first because it was only in French audio but I had to open it on Youtube page to see that there were English subtitles for it.
I read the description and I was amazed to see that this animation was just a graduation film made by students. Lel just goes to show the underrecognized talent that exists in these animation schools only for the hacks and the degenerates to somehow get funneled into the industry.
As for the video itself there are definitely many things that could be said. For starters I agree, the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. All of that hard work Alex invested into getting into the school only for it to mean nothing and not even being given an explanation why. Then again we should take into account the fact that this IS a graduation film, so maybe they were on a time constraint and couldn't give us a more proper ending due to the deadline?
And for us to be expected to be relieved with this "wholesome ending" it is an incredible slap to the face. Just the irony alone that they chose to animate it in a homage of prominent East-Asian animation style from countries like Japan and Korea, where the industry is so cut-throat that east Asian students in particular invest years of trying to get admitted into these prestigious schools and when they don't get in, they can go so far as to commit suicide over something so drastic. With this animation, I had hoped they were going to take the time to address this taboo issue of mental health and how life-staking it is for these students, instead they just completely glossed over such an emotionally heavy subject by saying "Oh look, she didn't get into the school and had a mental breakdown. All she needs to do is drink some bubble tea and get over it." No different than putting a band-aid over an amputated battle wound, you can't just ameliorate something drastic like that with something so trifling.

if the industry has such high standards, why are the working professionals we see always untalented hacks? two level system. people sense that and get resentful because it goes against ideas of justice. you can see this more easily in other industries like music and novels. great band? going to die poor in obscurity. nepo baby? golden elevator. you can only gaslight us as being "bitter" and "jealous" so long, but we have eyes and ears and can see it plain as day in brother industries to our main.

The jokes don't land either. I don't know if it's a pacing issue or what but it's just unfunny. And there's a lot of boring jokes packed in there, literally one every two sentences, it gets tiring fast.
Pomni's design is just ugly and autistic idk, I can't stand le quirky clown characters. I do like the concept, it needs to be executed better by people who aren't such unfunny shut-ins.
>>1914601>In fact it's so autistic I instantly wondered if the barf scene was here for fetish reasons.That… felt weird to me too.

The concept of a "fairy godmother in training" would have been better for a wish-centric movie. If the King didn't grant the wish because he was wise and could sense the danger, but the protagonist steals the wand/power to grant the wish and then bad things happen. This story is boring because the main character seems like a spectator in her own story, things happen to her and she reacts, but she doesn't take any initiative or make mistakes on her own. She "wins" in the end because she's the good guy.

Not to add to the Sofia the First comparisons but this sounds like the plot of a made for tv movie based on a show for preschoolers, not Disneys big centennial theatrical feature. I wonder if it story issues in development because I can’t imagine this being the plot they had in mind all along, unless they’re intentionally trying to “subvert expectations” by delivering an extremely straightforward fairy tale with none of the tropes they’ve become known for in their current era.

Ragatha didn't turn out to be that bad character-wise but Pomni is so out of place its hilarious. Of course characters like Kinger and Zooble can look strange and interesting, but heaven forbid the female lead act like anything other than a suspiciously underage looking fragile anime waifu.
The whole thing falls apart just from the waifubaiting and ends up feeling like an inauthentic quirky OC display with a 90s backdrop.

>>1916497Honestly, no idea. I assume it may be because western culture, primarily adults, isn’t as crazy about animation/still views it as a picture show for kids than an art form that it could be.
What’s strange though, is that back in 2010, (deviantart days, new grounds, ect) you would still actually see so many indie artists draw and BE experimental. For me that was so inspirational, but now I have to go digging for artists like that because art has been popularized by the younger gen who look for specific styles

>>1916497I sometimes think about that. I think it might be that in Japan there is such a huge volume of animated productions that there's always going to be at least a few productions that value higher quality and value higher art skills, so the competition might be more "great artist works in big prestige anime vs mediocre artist works in crappy anime", whereas in the West there are very few cartoons being made at any given time yet money-brained studio's have close to zero respect for the craft so the competition might be more "guy that can scribble more shit faster gets a job vs everybody else is jobless".
Then there's also the bit that most western animation is actually animated in korea, so westerners are mostly actually only storyboarding.

>>1916537This, but I also think American individuality comes into it. Kids and teens getting into the industry aren't idealizing the people with the most skills, but the ones with the most ~unique~ style that makes them stand out as an individual. They don't want to actually recieve criticism on their fundamentals because i-it's art, it's personal expression, it's supposed to be an extension of meeeee! It's a tale as old as time but it still stands true imo. It's part of why Vivzie is so beloved with younger artists.
Also from my own perspective from a somewhat successful artist that draws in a style that is very currently trendy and blends in with Japanese styles, there is a weird sense of jealousy from other artists in American spaces. It's just my interpretation of how they interact with me, but there is a sense of "I like your art but I-I don't want to draw anime because it's so overrated!! I'm going to focus on muh unique style because it has more character/soul/whatever!" and then they get upset that their works only get 5 likes because it's not what people want to see. Not to say that people have to like whats trendy, or that chasing uniqueness is bad, but I actively admire Japanese artists and their work ethic and put in hundreds of hours of studying, whereas I often don't see that type of raw studying in peers who rely on uniqueness as their crutch. There is a lack of self-criticism, and the most growth as an artist happens when you can look at your own art and criticize it and choose to improve it, which many young Americans don't want to do, lest they admit their current abilities are shit and that being talented in middle school doesn't mean you will be talented as an adult.

>>1916497If western includes things like non-American animators I have no idea what you’re talking about they’re equal to the best Japanese animator. Even if you include America and Canada there’s plenty of great animators.
What you’re trying to say is why isn’t there a huge abundance of amazing or even great animators in America (cause there’s plenty of france and so forth), the answer has been the same for 20+ years now. Nobody is paying for it here. If you spend the time to actually look up the animators portfolios or work profiles you’ll find a lot come from other countries. Outside of basic beginner “animated the ball” classes there isn’t advance 2D animation workshops available to the public. It’s behind either an artschool paywall or a private workshop you can only get through connections. The really advance teachers aren’t just accepting anyone as mentors. You have to go abroad to even get taught how to animate 2D if you aren’t willing to teach yourself.
Fast forward to japan or even france, whole schools dedicated to teaching how to animate 2D. And if you’re wondering why I keep bringing up france, it’s once of the countries if you want to work as an animator in japan they’ll accept you if you go to an artschool there.
Nobody is teaching advance level to the point of Rodger rabbit levels or realism(weight of the character movements,advance expression) or if you didn’t luck out by connections to have a mentor and not autistic enough to self train why bother unless you’re gonna go the artschool route. And even if you do, nobody is hiring to animate in America for traditional 2D. You won’t find work here.

Instead this movie is an absolute coombrained mess, men can't keep it in their pants to make art and instead made a pile of literal animated sludge. Try and watch this ending, how would anyone EVER trust a 'industry vet' again when this is the result? Rotoscoped boobies jiggling around while thousands of random things bonk and crash around the screen. Now we lament indie animators that are all degenerates like Panpizza, Gooseworx, Zone, even Vizie who can't get out of her own way- but at least they only damage small parts of the internet and no one will give them multimillion dollar projects (no, an Amazon prime TV series doesn't count as a big influencial project

The studio actually toned it down from his original story.
"in 1990, Ralph Bakshi concepted a new film project, conceived as a live-action animated horror film, involving a cartoonist who created a comic book while in prison that makes him an underground "star". The cartoonist would go on to have sexual intercourse with a femme fatale "doodle" named "Debbie Dallas [name changed to Holli Would later] (a play on the title of the pornographic film, Debbie Does Dallas)" and father a hybrid child with her; half-cartoon, and half-human. The child, growing up resenting its father for abandoning it, would grow up and go on to make a pilgrimage to the real world to try to hunt down its father and kill him. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_World“The studio didn’t want him, they didn’t know who he was,” says Bakshi. “They said if I wanted Brad Pitt then I would have to take Kim Basinger, who’s a beautiful woman but a little old for the role. What I saw was a girl, somewhere around 20, who dances very well."
He had wanted Drew Barrymore for Debbie/Holli, who was 17 at the time and he had wanted Brad Pitt to play Jack. Brad Pitt was 29. Basinger was 39. The studio insisted Brad play Frank because they wanted someone famous for Jack.

The male actors are all obnoxious Octopimp-esque amateur character voices and the female ones are just bad community theater, like the scrotes in charge hired the only women who answered their emails. This project is dying for a better lead actress.
The premise is alright and I like some of the character designs, but
none of the jokes were funny. You can tell they're were trying to replicate the tone and Tim Burton-esque qualities of Invader Zim, but they just didn't have the chops to pull it off. The animation is just… ugly. I don't want to harp on that point too much, because it's just a pilot, but it seriously looks like those terrifying cgi Scary Godmother holiday specials, but with an added layer of fetishistic subtext. I'll save any other judgements for if the pilot actually gets picked up, though, since a lot can change when a show formally enters production.

There is nothing wrong with platonic relationships at all. Everyone is capable of being just friends, however, it becomes a problem when they go overboard and make it meta in the actual movie itself. Did you forget that Frozen drove that detail every single moment it could? At this point the new Disney mantra is to subvert audience expectations and shit on the old movies for being "

should look at the bare minimum.

Saged for (ambiguously) sour milk but somebody hijacked the wiki page of Digital Circus and doxxed the tranny that created it by replacing every page's content with his full personal info.
It was a few hours ago and wikia mods already fixed it but I copypasted all the info as a reflex (gatherer instinct ig). Picrel is my only evidence since for some reason the Google search results for the wiki didn't update yet and I didn't screencap the hacked pages when I saw them, sorry for being a tardlet.

>>1920506>>1919687>>1919136One thing I miss so much about Disney song is clever wordplay and musical theater rhymes full of idioms and puns that make double or triple meanings to songs.
The Wish King's villain song could have had the phrase "Come in, sit for a spell" and other ye ole idioms/phrases. I love looking back at Lion King and Aladdin for having great song lyrics. In 'I Just can't wait to be King' Zazu sings "this child is getting wildly out of wing" while flying and there are so many layers to the phrase that work. Like wildly- Simba is wild/not trained to be King, but he's also a wild animal. "Out of wing" is a phrase basically no one in the modern world says but works so well here for a pompous royal bird like Zazu to say. It means "getting out of control"- Zazu is flying with his wings, while he is unable to control Simba. Simba is out of wing/beyond Zazu's control but also faster than Zazu who is flapping his wings to try and get to Simba before he runs away.
Ok I'm a close-reading sperg but lines like these tickle my brain and there might not be many more examples from Disney now.

No. 1921307
>>1921272This episode sucks so bad. First of all we're still focusing on Fizz while the entirety of the rest of the cast is ignored (how long has it been since we've seen Moxxie and Millie? Loona?) I literally couldn't care less about the melodrama with Fizz but it's the main focus of this episode, again. As an anon above mentioned, the first joke out of the Mammon's mouth (another random fucking character introduced for no reason) is blatantly sexist and unfunny and absolutely reveals the sexism in this show. Speaking of sexism, I don't know why Vivzie didn't just make Fizz a woman because she absolutely doesn't know how to write male characters and it really shows with him in this episode. His dialogue is absolute wattpad-tier insecure fanfic y/n girl, especially around Ozzy which made me audibly groan multiple times while watching this episode. Also, the implications of abuse on Mammon's part, especially the hint at eating disorders, is just so distasteful and poorly handled, it just feels thrown in like "uwu feel bad for fizzy hes such an uwu sad boy with a tragic backstory" which mimicks real life issues that exclusively FEMALE stars face but of course Vivzie won't talk about stuff that effects women because she has to write her retarded fujo fanfic.
Then there's the clown pageant. This shit is so stupid. Why hold a pageant if Fizz just wins every time? Wouldn't there be clear bias if Fizz was the biggest brand for Mammon but still competed in the pageant? Why do they not address Ozzy showing up in public with Fizz at the beginning of the episode but Fizz says that he shouldn't be there later? It's a poorly written excuse to have more songs and, to be fair, the songs in this episode are pretty good (except for Ozzy and Fizz's love song for obvious reasons). However I couldn't help but feel disgusted at how the female rivals were handled. As usual the female vivziepop characters get about 2 minutes of screentime and are always portrayed as mean and bitchy because Vivzie isn't like the other girls and sees all women like emo tumblr middle schoolers see them. But god this episode is so frustrating and shows Vivzie's amateurish writing to a tee. Sorry for the long rant but hatewatching this show has become a concerning pastime of mine.
No. 1921314
>>1921307Honestly, Fizz's character is so over the place. He seemed pretty cool when he was introduced in the first season, but now he's just another sadboi uwu cinnamon roll to throw on her sad gaiboi pile. I kept being confused on why he couldn't leave Mammon, like okay he is supposed to be indebted to him but we haven't been shown enough about Fizz as an entertainer and his relationship to Mammon to truly understand his anguish. Mammon himself was an awful character in voice, personality and design, just redo all of him.
And let's not even start on the crazed fanboy… Also I agree with you on the songs, they're still not quite as "good" (serviceable) as in the first season but definitely better than what we've been presented with thus far in season 2.
No. 1921315
>>1921314Yeah I was thinking about that too. Fizz is probably the most inconsistent character in this show by far, I kept thinking throughout the whole episode, where the hell did this melodrama come from? why is he so insecure when he was portrayed as an arrogant unapologetic asshat not even 2 episodes ago? It just shows that they can't come up with a character besides "uwu sad boi" "big evil mean guy" and "bitchy woman" And as
>>1921290 said, it seems the shift has gone entirely to these two just like how it was on Stolas and Blitzo for a while, Vivzie's fujoism is a black hole of writing that consumes any interesting character concepts and turns them into shallow, one dimensional cardboard cutouts.
And yeah, the fanboy shit was stupid as hell and was part of what made me ask "why not just make fizz a woman" since there is no such thing as fanboys like that for male celebrities as Fizz is supposed to be, it just makes 0 sense.

Or better yet actually follow the premise of the show and actually have an episode where they have to do a hit? Every episode of this show feels like a shoddy fanfic of the last and it's gone do far that if you stripped the faces and names off it would be completely unrecognizable.

I will admit that I thought it was cute when Fizz did sign language for the deaf imp kid but aside from that, I am tired of Fizz and Ozzy. I want to like them because I like romance but their relationship is being shoved into our eyes with no breathing room. We GET IT, they love each other, can you just fuck off and focus on someone else for awhile? This episode could've wait a few episodes in between. I'm also annoyed that we haven't seen any attention on the female characters at all. Still waiting on that episode where Millie will get to be her own person and not be tied to Moxxie who will undoubtedly steal the focus from her. And we haven't seen Loona in awhile neither, hell not even Octavia. Am I the only one who wouldn't mind if Octavia and Loona had another episode together and got to become friends? I wish Viv would get her head out of the fujo gutter and give some attention to the girls for at least an episode or two.
>>1921319>gotta love how whenever a female character(s) is introduced they're 99% of the time catty/oversexualized FFR.

You know the thing that bothers me about HelluvaBoss is when you see how the fanbase just eats this shit up and don't see the sexism to bordering misogyny. I tried talking about this with my friend who thinks I'm taking the show too seriously when I said that it sucked how the female characters don't get much characterization. She argued about Millie with the summer camp episode and I explained how it didn't really count since it focused on Moxxie's jealousy and she just didn't get it. The only people I see who take the show to task are you folks here.

>>1921272My god this was awful. I struggled to finish this but I really wanted how much worse it could get. It's somewhat decent (still full of holes, but not as embarassing) in the first half but then it turns to absolute shit.
Making Fizz a troubled performer who gets abused by his boss isn't a terrible idea (although I also thought that this would have been way more fitting for a female character because this shit happens to women, not gay men) but we need to be shown Fizz's performances and ordinary life to get how he suffers. You can't just tell me "he performs, he has a mean boss, he can't leave" when we've only seen him on a musical number with Ozzie and a couple of frames where he's dressed like a clown in a flashback. Viv can't develop her characters right, she just introduces a vague concept and then skips to the characters being involved in some dramatic gay love fanfiction where you're told there's supposedly a lot of history and suffering between them but you're not shown anything.
Speaking of fanfiction the bits of Fizz and Ozzie going "Waahh you only love me because I'm famous" and "I do love him" while confronting Mammon are beyond bad and embarassing. Again Viv does not know how to be subtle and thinks her wattpad tier lines are so deep and complex.
Also I'm begging the artists of this show to actually study composition so they can tell how to draw a good shot. Picrel is a good example of what NOT to do. Look at this shit, there's so much going on and you can barely make out the main characters. Why does the background have the same level of detail? Why is everything so bright and colorful? Learn how to build a good scene ffs.

>>1921272Seriously, does Vivziepop even have a plan for this series? Or does she just decide what to do as she goes? The writing is too messy, like she doesn't have all the episodes already planned out, something you should always do when making a show or just writing a story in general. First it was about Blitzo and his company killing people, then it shifted to Stolas, Stella and Blitzo fanfiction, then now it's about Fizz and Ozzie. How many episode does season two even have? how is she going to tie everything up (the humans seeing demons, Moxxie's dad, Striker assassinating Stolas, Stella and Andrealphus, Octavia and Loona, now Fizz and Ozzie and Mammon threathening them) if she keeps introducing things and plots randomly and even retconning them? Even the characters are being rewritten to fit her sad gay boy fanfictiony settings. Ozzie especially seems like an entirely different character (big menacing lord first, now he's a kind sassy "top" to sad boy Fizz), Fizz also started off being genuinely aggressive towards Blitzo and now their rivalry is some sort of comic relief. She cannot fucking write.

>>1921272How I would fix this mess of an episode:
>As other has said, change the focus to Verosica.>Turn the clown pageant into an annual battle of the bands, with Verosica's backstory being that's how she got big. Mammon is still holding the competition, but rather as an investor in the winning pop star instead of a manager. Have the actual manager sexualize and body shame V instead.>Also make it a Loona episode, have Verosica's hellhound get sick and call Loona in for a favor.>Loona agrees, not only because she still has a crush on Rex but also because she gets to work for a celebrity.>Loona asks Verosica about her past relationship with Blitzo, we get some flashbacks to their time dating.>Verosica has a breakdown similar to Fizz, Loona gives her a peptalk and Verosica gives Loona one as well for her insecurities, which helps Loona on the right track to get over her crush.>Have the Fuck You I Quit song sung by Verosica, she still wins the battle of the bands and when offered the option to hand over the win to the twins she laughs and takes off with the trophy, highfiving Loona in the process. >Octavia who has been watching everything on tv sends Loona an excited text when she sees her on screen, showing that they've been in touch.>Perhaps a plot B where the others are out on a hit job and have been trying to get in touch with Loona all night, who was supposed to be on standby when she got called in to help V. No. 1921762
>>1921744I've gotten a similar feeling that she doesn't plan out her show. I posted above about some inconsistencies with previous episodes and even within the same episode. Pretty sure they completely dropped the plot about humans seeing demons I mean they walk around clearly visible in the human world several times in season 2 or just really bad disguises. It's so frustratingly inconsistent. Also it feels like Stolas has been written out entirely like what happened to him being assassinated like you said?
>>1921756The whole concept behind this episode is fundamentally broken. It's yet another episode that's completely derailing from the plot and while I like your ideas of focusing on the female characters more, it's not addressing the main problem which is the lack of story/plot progression. They set up a bunch of important long-running arcs and questions in season 1 only to ditch them and focus on character stuff that's not even related to the original premise of the show. It feels like every episode is the out-of-place beach episode in the middle of the climax of an anime, except with whatever flavor of the week Vivzie wants to do now (gay clown circus competition, hostage episode #23, etc.) At least the hostage episodes somewhat progress the plot, this was just an irrelevant, embarassing mess of writing.
No. 1921769
>>1921762ayrt, I know the show has other problems. This is more of a "if this setting and episode is absolutely necessary, then this would probably have been much better". If this episode has to exist, use it to flesh out other characters instead of another awkwardly written fujo-episode.

No. 1921781
>>1921618With how all over the place the writing is, it makes me wonder if Viv is collaborating with other writers effectively. I get that it's her IP but working with side writers can prove helpful as they might be able to see things that the main creator may not see and offer some constructive criticism to help make the narrative flow better. And FFS, can she at least hire on an actual gay male writer who can help with the gay relationship writing because it's just terrible, it's too much…
>>1921668>The "Klown Bitch" song was funny at first but I found the music overall to be shallow and forgettableI'm just getting tired of the same old EDM Pop music. The Millie/Moxie camp episode's music with the rock pop song was a nice change of pace and it's just annoying how she doesn't seem to have much range going for the Kesha-tier pop music. I get she's her favorite singer but geez lol.
>>1921744>She cannot fucking write.Which is all the more reason why she desperately needs to collaborate more with her co-writers. But as long as she has a ton of sycophant fans who praise her shit writing because uwu sadgaybois, I don't think she'll ever improve. I wonder if she even watches these episodes once they're put out.
>>1921747>why aren't they angels? As their personalities are now they don't really fit in as citizens of hell.Yeah like Fizz being kind to the deaf demon. If he truly were supposed to be a despicable person who deserves to be in hell, he would've ignored or pushed that child away. Don't get me wrong, it was a cute wholesome moment but I'm just saying, he doesn't come off as evil demon. Cursing like a sailor =/= evil lol.
>>1921756Awesome re-write anon, I could picture that all and it would've made for a MUCH BETTER episode than whatever the hell we got. I especially like how you got Loona involved, it helps that she even likes her music so that would've been another enticement for her to get to work with Verosika. And I don't think Verosika would see the harm in explaining her past with Blitzo to her. But eh, this layout feels too "girl power" for fujo-obsessed Viv and she more than likely would never put so much focus on the female characters sadly…

>>1921272Why does it seem like viv is implying past feelings/jealousy between Blitzo and Fizz? Tone of the last episode with the reconciliation between them made it seem like they're past lovers and vidrel can be taken as Blitzo being jealous. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, he gets kinda grossed out at Moxxie and Millie sometimes and it could be the same reaction here, but also stalks them Moxxie and Millie so I don't know about him genuinely being grossed out by love. Might be farfetched but with the angst between them and the uwu sadboy shit from last episode, I wouldn't be surprised, given vivzie basically turning her show into melodramatic fanfiction, love triangles are par for the course.

I hate every HB character, but Mammon has been the one I hate the least so far. Maybe it’s because I’m tired of all these supposed demons being sad gay softboys and it’s refreshing to see a truly evil and irredeemable one. He also reads “greed” better than the other demonlords do for their cardinal sins. It might also just be that I love Cusack’s aggressively Australian accent.

>>1922153I had a friend who was really into it back when it first came out/was blowing up on tumblr, and I'd say a lot of it was around the convoluted shipping shenanigans surrounding the two leads (their civilian and superhero identities were almost treated as separate characters when it came to who was crushing on who, with the female MC being into the male MC when he was just a guy but disliking his superhero alter-ego, with the male MC liking the girl as her superhero self and not noticing her regular self. Or something like that). It was a bit of a meme, I guess, and I think it's one of those shows where more people are fans of the fandom rather than fans of the actual show.
From what I remember the MCs looked appealing enough, and the animation was passable for the most part, but yeah the side characters were pretty janky. Shockingly it's difficult to make a cgi show with a larger cast and monster-of-the-week format and have it look good (especially when it comes to human characters)

>>1922036From an outsiders perspective at the time the fandom was like a mini Steven Universe with how they called out aspects for being
problematic but that never leaked out onto other sites besides Tumblr. People here just aren’t into it, I watched a couple episodes and didn’t understand why anyone over 10 would be into it. There was that really bizarre official comic where Marinette lands naked in a dumpster and has to wear a cardboard box, then meets some black people and racially profiles them that floated around some too.

>>1913240Sorry for rambling and cringe but I have mixed feelings for Jax. I kinda like him
and find him strangely attractive except for when he's mean to the girls. With the whole Gooseworx conspiracy here and seeing TADC girls being treated as torture/bully material for comedy and his secret fetish, it might be his intention of grooming girls into falling in love with asshole men like Jax; becoming masochists, romanticizing
toxic relationships and seeing this mysogyinst behavior as normal. Plus he's made as a Tumblr sexyman so it's baiting girls into liking him. I don't mind mischievous characters who prank and teases sometimes but when it comes to physically bullying girls who are fragile felt off-putting, unnecessary and mean-spirited like when Jax pushed Gangle. If Gangle where a guy I'll let that slide. Some people say it's his way of coping for being trapped in a digital world but that's just straight up being an asshole. I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually gay since his VA also voiced as a gay spider who I find very unlikable.

I thought TADC seemed interesting since I also enjoy things like Undertale/Deltarune but after looking into this thread, I'm now aware of who's behind it and what his intentions and background are. It's disturbing being shown as a fun kids-looking cartoon loved by so many without them knowing and that the female characters being mistreated flew over my head. Kinda similar to the whole Dan Schneider thing from Nickelodeon with underaged teen girls having their feets out for comedy but when really it's just a foot fetish. I hate men and trannies so much. I don't support Gooseworx but I do sometimes save Jax fanart. Speaking of which, Pomni originally has a unicorn horn so was it intentional to have it look like a drill poking out of her head? Also since Bubble is voiced by Gooseworx, isn't it super weird that he licks up Pomni's vomit as maybe some sort of self-insert with emetophilia coming out from a girl? Just ugh…

Pomni, Jax and Caine look like amalgamations of characters I've seen on Twitter millions of times before, and there's no real new ground being tread. They seem like they're made for mass appeal above all here.
Also, I think particularly Pomni irks me because her palette just doesn't look right. The brown hair sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise unnaturally coloured character. Just kind of ruins the whole thing.

>>1923159Here's what I think.
It's made under Glitchy Productions, a studio that made a relatively(? I've never watched it but apparently it's a thing) popular series called Super Mario Glitchy 4. Given that the main character is quite literally a Mario recolour, and stars a lot of Nintendo-related stuff, the brand name practically became a lightning rod for zoomer autists. So, from the beginning, there was already a large potential audience behind it.
Also, TADC hits a lot of the spots for someone of that crowd who perhaps wants something a bit more mature, being that it's a brightly coloured quirky cast of characters that has dark and dramatic undertones that also has ties to popular internet horror tropes like The Backrooms. It also helps that there are a few characters that are practically tailor-made to fit into certain popular character archetypes, see Jax (asshole Tumblr sexyman), Caine (Spamton-type 'le gremlin' Tumblr sexyman) and Pomni (Kobeni vibes + clussy). The animation isn't particularly esoteric or crazy but it's reasonably expressive, and the sound design and soundtrack isn't out there but it has a theme song that manages to be catchy enough.
Overall, TADC very much colours within the lines, and it owes its success to playing it safe towards its demographic. However, because of the parameters that it itself has set out, it will also struggle to be truly interesting or the top of its grade in the long run.

>>1923971>>1923974I'm not sure if Richard Williams is the person you want to single out for being a fetishistic coomer. I wouldn't go as far as to say that sexy cartoony women are a fetish.
In his walk cycles intro, the sexy woman boobing down the lane is juxtaposed to a much more realistic and human woman's walk cycle, imo it's meant to be a comparison between reality and a scrote's coom, cartoony fantasy and I think it was the author's intention. The copyright-free Jessica Rabbit is cringe but it's not a thoughtless choice, especially considering Williams was meticulous in his work. She stands out completely in front of the real, serious woman in red (their colors also link them chromatically, mainly purple and red which contrast eachother).
Aside from Jessica Rabbit, I would argue Williams is not particularly a coomer and he had other priorities over getting off. You can see it in all of his work.
Are we so used to the online cartoonist/artist scene, where coom reigns supreme, that we can't imagine creators that
aren't driven by their fetishes?
Also, yeah, animation was a boy's club for a long time and this is why we have a billion of samey foxy women in older cartoons, but I'd rather scrotes draw hourglass shaped women than make whole webseries about putting tiny ambiguously aged clown girls through every fetish torture device.
At least the former is an abstraction of a natural attraction towards adults, the latter is just sadistic perversion in search for the next high. That's what separates a fetishist like Gooseworx between other types of creatives.

>>1924291This, oh my god, thank you. The fact that there are people in this thread who supposedly work in the industry who apparently don't know who Richard Williams is kind of makes me want to die. It's honestly sad, because up until his recent death he used to give talks at colleges and review portfolios, and he was totally distraught at how garbage zoomer/millenial artists are when it comes to the fundamentals. Western animation is going down the tubes because people turn their nose up at the work of artists like Williams, who was honestly one of the greatest animators who ever lived. I was so bummed that he died before I got a chance to meet him.
Also, the whole point of Jessica is that she's a commentary on how women are perceived by men, but Twitterbrained tards immediately see her design and assume that Williams was a coomer regardless of the actual context of the art. It's really ironic that the puritans are doing the exact same thing the movie advises against, which is judging her for her appearance. It convinces me that they've either never seen the whole thing, or haven't watched it since they were small children.

Jessica Rabbit doesn't exist in the void, she exists in our patriarchal culture where women are valued as sex objects first, humans second. It's the libfem mindset of "i'm wearing makeup for myself", "sex work is empowering actually" while men laugh and get exactly what they want (sex and eye candy) while patting women on the head for being feminist girlbosses. Female Ghibli characters are animated with humanity, Jessica Rabbit is animated like an object.

Binged the series. Not awful, but it could have been better than it was if it had decent voice acting and fewer unnecessary sex scenes and nudity. One sorta funny thing about this show is that the only reasonably attractive males in this world always ends up falling in love with the main character. Even when they think she's male, they are basically smitten and become obsessed with her. It also seems like a lot of "gay" TIFs are projecting onto her. anyway I predict there's gonna be a second season that no one will talk about and it'll have a rushed finale.

>>1925037Nyart but your comparison between Jessica and Ghibli female characters is stupid. They're not meant to be the same thing.
Jessica is clearly a coomer character men swoon over but she is still a parody, a cartoony and humorous character, she was still written to hold a certain meaning and make people laugh and she was not meant to be like a real person, at all, because that's the kind of cartoon they were aiming for.
I don't think the movie is preoccupied with patting women and feminists on the back because it was not made when media pretended to care about these issues, animation back then was a a boys' club and Roger Rabbit is based off noir comics and movies which are a genre full of foxy women like Jessica Rabbit.
Ghibli women and girls are much more realistic characters in stories far more grounded in reality. Have you also considered that they're meant to appeal to the male audience and Miyazaki himself too? Men are crazy for Ghibli girls like Nausicaa and the Cagliostro princess (she was one of the original waifus, even; she is one of the inspirations for the Daicon III/IV girl).
They're meant to be cute, pleasant and endearing to the male audience and they're still made to be close to the Yamato Nadeshiko ideals (quiet and gentle but headstrong and determined).
Now, I like Ghibli's female characters, and not all of them fit this stereotype, but all their heroines do… it's undeniable they're made to appeal to japanese males and to the author.
Jessica Rabbit and Nausicaa are very far from eachother but they're both male fantasies made for males. I don't think this makes them inherently wrong and I like both of them, but it feels wrong to single out one of them because her appeal and sexualization is overt instead of something much more modest but still made by a male author with his own very male taste.
Both of them are a fantasy but, to put it simply, it's a fantasy made by artists who touch grass and have scope beyond creating idealized women or being coomers.
Both Hayao Miyazaki and Richard Williams are animators who drew all their life and their work's goal was never the coom. They're both very straight and you can see it in their beautiful female characters, but they were not out there making fetish and porn their life work.
Not even Osamu Tezuka, who made an adult X-rated cartoon with his transformation fetish in it, has made coom his life work. Not even his porn cartoon was all about the fetish coom (The 1001 Nights in case anyone wants to know which movie I am talking about).
But now look at Gooseworx and tell me that shit is not inherently porn brained and made by someone who does not touch grass. Saying that this porn and fetish brainrot has always been around feels intellectually dishonest and naïve. Just because scrotes have sexual desires that doesn't mean all of them are on Gooseworx' level of brain degradation.

>>1925108I really dislike how people idolize Miyazaki when he's just another stubborn boomer moid with some backwards attitudes. His treatment of his son, Goro, comes off as incredibly
abusive. Plus, you never hear about his wife. I know Japanese families tend to be private but I can't help but assume that the way he treats Goro says a lot about how he might treat others in his life. Not the worst person in animation by any means but I'm just tired of how much people, especially in Western animation, idolize him. His movies look nice but the stories can be weak and aren't that deep.

>>1925123>>1925108>big breast as a symbol of motherhood and neutering naturestuff like this is common for male artist. I never got why Miyazaki got so much praise for his female characters they feel very old school. It was common in older literature to write female characters,l not as fully-fledged characters but as symbols of purity. When bad things happened to them it was tragic because something pure was tainted. And there was a huge focus on their good values and virtues. Many men find women like this the ideal but japanese otakus are really blatant about it. the word "pure" is thrown around alot regarding idols and the early moe scene used that word alot too.
At least Miyazaki's female characters have more personality and "attitude" than old female characters but they aren't as deep as people like to claim. Even the ones that have strong ideals doesn't come off as threatening.
>>1925111 and

It’s like how “Strong women” characters are often depicted in horror films, more than other genres. The Final Girl trope. Only women are allowed to cry, scream, and have emotional reactions to horrific situations. For a male character, realistic reactions of powerlessness are still perceived as shameful. Pure, tomboyish women are the only ones “deserving” of survival after they show weakness. It’s difficult to create a male character that males want to relate to in any realistic conflict, so let the women do the emotional work! Look at the characters in Digital Circus - the asshole bunny guy, the stuttering weak chess man, the helpful rag doll, the sassy shape female….they’re just ye olde jock, stoner, slut stock characters that get picked off in horror films, with a fresh new coat of paint.

Also kids have envy before puberty and anxiety is not exactly an emotion (you can feel anxiety, but the emotion would be what? You are fearful, you are afraid/sad/worried). The movie was an interesting concept but in the end it felt like Riley had no personality but was just a big mech EVA that the emotions took turns piloting.

>>1926034introducing new characters in a sequel is fine but if the whole premise is the main characters interacting with new characters then you know it's going to be uncreative.
I feel like the original emotions did a good job at representing every emotion as long as you don't take them too literally. Fear can represent anxiety, disgust/anger/sadness can represent envy, joy can represent falling in love/getting a crush (I highly doubt this movie is going to deal with romance but assuming it will be about puberty the discussion will breifly come up). Adding a new character to every single emotion is redundant.
I predict the moral of this movie is going to be "it's ok to feel negative emotions" which was the exact same moral of the first movie.
>>1926165My unpopular and niche opinion is that fantasy-puberty metaphor movies are weird and not helping anyone. Kids who haven't hit puberty aren't going to catch the metaphor and kids who are going trough puberty are going to be embarrassed by them.
Puberty metaphor movies are patronizing at best and mocking at worst. I know the intention is not to make fun of puberty but i cant see how jokes like "zomg period is so stressful" and "omg im too anxious to do anything because my mind and body is changing" are suppose to appeal to young teenagers who are already dealing with the general insecurity of hitting puberty.
I get that it's important to discuss puberty in media for children but disney doing it in a weird way

I guess the movie will change a bit from what I expected, because of course they will focus on the mech pilots and not on the character they control. I mean, they kind of “explored” a teenage character with turning red, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to actually focus on the girl.

I'd also like to add that I think I think the problem with Goosetranny is that he genuinely doesn't understand the aesthetic he's going for. It's clearly supposed to be 90's surrealism in kids shows/video games, going by the KidPix inspiration, and the old wacky CGI kids' game setting.
90's surrealist media in kids shows/videogames, from what I've seen, vid related, has a kind of "playfulness" to it (vid related). Like the freaky "scary" 90s creatures were created in some kindergarten art class. Unintentionally creepy but having a genuine childlike innocence to it.
With TADC, it doesn't have this. The smooth animation quality works against it. This doesn't look like a janky low poly Windows XP game like its presumably supposed to be.
The fetishes scattered throughout the pilot under the colorful visuals give it a slimy feel, like its flashing sexual undertones at children in a way their parents can't obviously see and make the kids turn it off.
The character designs, especially Pomni and Jax, are catered to modern internet trends, bringing a disingenuous feel instead of the homemade weirdness of 90's surrealism. Caine and Kinger give away that at least part of the aesthetic is this, but it doesn't work.
All of this combined gives a show that on the surface, looks like a detailed 3D Movie Maker Party Area, but after watching, fails to capture the "magic" of janky old Nick bumpers/old PC video games. So basically I agree with

I never liked how the original got touted as being good for kids by giving them a framework to conceptualise their emotions, especially considering I remember seeing a bunch of kids online basically larping DID with their emotion sonas (or thinking their emotions were literally driving them), or headcanoning Riley as having psychological issues because of how shoddily the concept was handled kek.

>>1926244I sort of realized (through the posts here) that Inside Out, Turning Red, and Soul all have a weird perspective on the physical body as it relates to the mind/soul. They are all body horror in a way. Inside Out doesn't seem like it would be, but to me, the concept of being controlled entirely by emotions, without the representation of intellect as a framework, is horrifying. The concept of being an emotional mech, as you say, is frightening. And of course it depicts a girl being piloted by emotions. Just like Turning Red did puberty body horror with a girl. And Soul
put the baby "preborn soul" voiced by a white woman* into the body of an adult black man. And if that wasn't offensive enough, Soul has the kid-soul-in-black-man run around in a hospital gown, undress, and take a shower. Baby girl soul is delinquent because she doesn't like anything and has to experience life as a man before deciding life is worth living; man gets second chance at life because even death isn't mandatory if you're a man. And yet another example of a plot involving finality and sacrifice being undermined by an ending where everyone is happy.Yeah I'm tired of this body shit and glurge about emotions that focuses on girls exclusively. The only comparable body horror stuff for boys tends to be werewolf or superhero stories, where the biggest emotion is usually anger.
*Allegedly the baby soul has no gender and chose a female voice "because it's the most annoying." Of course. Note also that it's yet another movie where a black person is a main character but spends half the movie changed into an animal, with the additional humiliation of having a child pilot his actual body.

>>1926277It is pretty gross. Other media has done the 'control room' sort of scene within a character's mind and it's been funny or charming, or have had the human body be inhabited by characters (eg Osmosis Jones), and it hasn't felt like the actual human character was just a meat machine being piloted. I think a lot of this issue for Inside Out stems from the movie also being a checklist of common animated movie tropes, such as the whole 'two characters at odds with each other have to go on an adventure across a fantastical world and come out the other side having gained insight and understanding each other' aspect, which takes pretty much all of the focus away from Riley and reduces her mind to emotional reactions and quirky set locations.
As for your other points, I think Inside Out could have been more interesting if Riley wasn't a girl and was instead about a boy learning to sort out/control himself emotionally. But hey, part of that might be because Riley is only really a girl because that way she's easier to sympathise with if she has an emotional outburst, only girls are emotional, and other dumb regressive shit like being able to make boy-crazy tween jokes or whatever. It felt like a gross/cynical marketing-led decision, is what I'm saying, rather than a decision motivated by wanting to say something about being a young girl during a difficult time or whatever.
It is interesting that women seem to have a stranglehold on the 'puberty as a monster' metaphor, but I think it's in part because female puberty is a lot more 'palatable' when it comes to animated media, as anything that touches on guy's puberty will be all the g-rated stuff like 'oh no my voice changed and i smell and am taller and hairier and sweaty' that's not even entirely unique to them because you can't bring up shit like them getting random erections from a stiff breeze. This is probably why male puberty and adjacent topics are more of a subject for shows like Inbetweeners.
Soul was an awful movie in general, and I do not understand who it is for– it has very little for kids to enjoy, and as an adult it's a retarded slog with nothing of value to say. I'd hoped it would be more about music, but even that aspect was pretty shit. I agree with all of your points too. People really into mind(or soul)/body separation are always really weird imo, especially when they aren't even religious, which was another of Soul's problems since it was trying to leave room for any interpretation of the afterlife/spirituality/etc.

Men usually have complete control over their power. There are exceptions; Hulk is one of them.
But I agree. The occasional 'human body driven by little pilots' scene can be cute. Now I think it's become a weird way to make girls feel even more terrified of their own healthy emotions and body changes.
Yeah, it's true that male puberty is… harder to represent for a wider audience. That's why boys get to have "coming of age" stories about being brave/strong/disciplined or whatever stoic (value is prized at the time. These values often are presented as default "male" too, even though they aren't at all. And now girls are being hit over and over with these shitty takes on emotions and their body changes.

>>1926391It is an unfortunate trend in media for female characters to be more emotion-driven or affected, even when it comes to fantastical power fantasies– Elsa is a good example in the first film, where it feels more like her emotional state is the root of her powers' failure or success, rather than the fact that she's utterly out of practice (and fearful of them). I know what they were going for in that film, but they kinda botched the self-acceptance thing. I haven't bothered to watch Encanto, but I have noticed that female characters often don't have the 'with great power comes great responsibility' concept play out the same way as male ones– for males, it tends to be an actual arc and often involves them using their power flippantly/selfishly or in a way that harms others and learning from that, whereas I've notice a lot of female characters skip over that as an actual element of the story? Either it's like Elsa and most of the arc happens outside of the main story, or we're introduced to them stressed over their powers. The same concept is technically there, but it's played out differently in a way that can make female characters feel more passive/lacking in agency. Annoying, and I doubt it's even intentional.
Personally, I've never liked the idea of portraying a girl going through puberty as a horrid thing (or her outright losing a part of herself, christ). I think a healthy way to approach the topic is neutrally, as it's just a natural process and a fact of life. It's not all sunshine and roses, but it's also not worth shit like violent werewolf symbolism (fun as it can be) or anything else that implies it takes you over and turns you into some monster you can't control. And god, can people get over periods already and stop including them just to be subversive or #real? Not saying they should be banned from fiction, but I hate that omg periods! shit.
I wish there was more coming of age stuff for girls that was more about them coming into their own, focusing on their intelligence and resourcefulness instead of vague emotional motivations ruling them. Also no romance allowed since writers can't be trusted not to derail a girl's character and make lame jokes if she's crushing on someone.

>>1926494This is a better way to see it tbh, I hope this really is what are they trying to imply.
>>1926705And I also hope self-love or something like courage appears so there’s another positive emotion instead of a bunch of negative shit fucking up everything every five seconds.
It sounds kind of hopeless if you think about it, that your mind is a bunch of negative shit trying to make your life a living hell.

>>1925011Nico Robin is supposed to be Russian if she were a real human. The anime took liberties in making her tan and blue eyes when she's always been white w brown eyes. Her design is also based on Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction

Also it's kinda fucked up that this was made by a WMAF couple who wanted rep for their daughter but there's so much insistance on her mother being a "whore who fucked a white devil". Besides the other fucked up things I mean… And this is a huge nitpick but Mizu is such a lazy choice for a name.

>>1926917Yeah, I found that weird too. Obviously, things don't have to be 100% accurate, but a samurai isn't something you can become by proving you're a great warrior. It was a hereditary caste that you were born into. The only other way to become one was to be adopted by a samurai, and that was exceedingly rare. Technically, neither character should be samurais because they were both peasants, and Japan had an enforced caste system back then. Again, these details don't have to be included if this was a straightforward action or comedy series, but it's trying to depict itself very seriously and tackle real-world issues.

>>1926917Idk, names in Japan are important, I remember reading a retarded manga once in which a character that was abused by her mother was named something with “mizu” in it, and the mother told her that she named her like that because when she gave birth to her, she felt nothing, like she was just expelling some water out of her body.
So I feel like maybe the main character could’ve gotten a better name, specially because it’s a character that represents the authors’ child.
To me, “Mizu” feels like it’s a very backhanded name I guess, but maybe it’s because I read that manga, otherwise it would be like “oh yeah! Mizu because she’s as important as the water is to life!” Or something like that.
No. 1926939
>>1926925Mizu means water (literally) and iirc water is a thing that's associated with abortions or stillborns too. Either way just "Mizu" isn't a common name in Japan. It would have been better if the name did contain the kanji for mizu but with other stuff around it to make up a slightly more complex meaning.
Also I'm almost certain they just ripped the thing from Memoirs of a Geisha, where the blue eyes are associated with water.
No. 1926946
>>1926925Ayrt, I kinda just assumed she was just named Water because she has blue eyes and water's blue. Kinda like a dog with a spot would get named Spot by someone with no better idea, and it's hard not to have at least one better idea than that.
>>1926939One-kanji names were common for women. I don't understand why they didn't just give her a chosen and symbolic male name for concealment purposes + a common peasant woman name that would be revealed later on (or just have her be truly nameless besides her chosen name, or even give her a badass scrote name that can be turned into a female name if you keep only the first character ?). I've only seen the first episode so far though, I'm curious about the new characters seen at the end but considering Taigen's a boring ass fuckboy bully and I don't want to bear with the comic relief fatty I'm not sure I want to keep up with The Very Revengeful Adventures of Water and Apple, so I don't know if she gets a pseudonym later on.

>>1927073It is a cultural thing. In Japan, fathers can bathe naked with their children, male or female, without being seen as weird.
That said, I would argue that the nudity of children in Miyazaki movies in not weird because they're not drawn to be titillating, kind of like statues of baby angels.
In contrast his works about certain types of older teenage girls and young women feels much different and laced with a passionate intent. I think it's clear he likes a certain type… like Nausicaa or the woman in Porco Rosso. Action girls who are still gentle and soft.
In one of his Lupin episodes he basically turns Fujiko closer to his type of woman (she's much nicer than usual too).
He's also an immense prude and you can see it by how sexless some of his later movies feel.
For the record, he once drew an embarrassed Nausicaa in a bikini for a magazine and he regrets accepting the request to this day, saying those things should not be drawn at all. He really is an old man.

>>1927073i think you are seeing it from your westernized perspective. When i found out Ghibli made a whole movie about tanukis with magical scrotums i was like ''wtf'' too, then i found out it's actually part of japanese folklore that they have magical balls and use them to fly and other bullshit. Let's also remember tha miyazaki is like a 100 years, too.
