Craptacular! posted:"Well guys, all these ghosts keep turning out to be crooks and criminals. We've stopped half a billion dollars in fraud and embezzlement, but we've found zero ghosts. Sooooo, time to hang it up." The thieves probably got savvy after a point and realized that attaching a monster to your crime was just going to bring the Mystery Gang's attention. Thus, no monsters, nowhere to go.

Plus, they'll save a ton of money by not having to build their overly elaborate monster costumes/large scale optical illusions.

I'll always stand by my opinion that Danny Phantom was the Butch Hartman show with the best balance of comedy and plot. Ultimate Enemy was fantastic.

Danny Phantom was freaking fantastic, specially for its time. Watching Danny progress as a hero and a person was great. Then season 3 happened.

The only bad thing I can say about Danny Phantom is that maybe they should've planned out a little more ahead of time so that later when they tried to ramp up the plot further it wouldn't be such a trainwreck. Maybe they could've even worked out things so that when the end came it could've been graceful, although I suppose Nickelodeon hates things having endings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPP4zUDuo4c I've mostly stopped paying attention to Nickelodeon, they don't really have too many cartoons anymore. They've got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the shambling corpses of Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents, and I don;t know if there's anything else.

Guillermo del Toro's new show on Netflix, "Trollhunters", is pretty great. It starts out as pretty typical as far as character roles and plot goes but it quickly builds on something more. It's also the last thing Anton Yelchin worked on.  del Toro even refused to recast him and erase his work. I don't think the next season will be the same without him.

From my understanding, they had all sorts of complex and layered plans for season three of Danny Phantom. And then Butch Hartman and the execs said no and it all went downhill from there.

Danny Phantom was really good, but I think it really suffered from having Hartman's art style. It just doesn't lend itself to action.

nerdman42 posted:From my understanding, they had all sorts of complex and layered plans for season three of Danny Phantom. Said no and fired producers and writers like Steve Marmel (who developed the show) and Marty Isenberg, along with some heavy investments that did not pan out (two GBA games) so it never got another order after the initial 52. At least it's a pretty easy line to follow: 2 seasons of good Teenage Superhero Cartoon and then the main villain suddenly acts completely differently, changes the status quo and it's time to jump the show because people who made it what it was left. Vlad was such an interesting villain, I loved seeing that ultimately broken man continue to fail because he could not even understand the concept of love.

Yeah, I think Ultimate Enemy should have been the finale, it wrapped up some good character arcs and had an interesting premise. Also the Ghostly Wail was a really fun and amusing power due to how corny it was. I also like the moment when Dan Phantom finds out, in the midst of ruining Danny's life so that he becomes him, that Jazz actually knew all along, his reaction is pretty cool. I also really loved the Ghost Writer christmas special, mostly because the ending is funny, and the one aspect of Season 3 I kinda liked was the ice powers, because it was an interesting extension of the Ghost Breath/Temperature dropping in a haunted room. Also Ultimate Enemy makes some very strong implications - Largely due to seeing the box ghost 20 years in the future, but no Lunchlady: I always took away that while Dan Phantom was trashing all his other enemies, Box Ghost and Lunchlady found solace in each other which eventually developed to result in their daughter Box Lunch. Dan Phantom then at some point permanently killed the Lunchlady, forcing Box ghost to send Box Lunch back in time partially to protect her, partially to stop Danny before he could become Dan, while also forcing the Box Ghost to start taking himself seriously over the next 10 years and really developing his powers, replacing his catchphrase with a more menacing one. That's just my thoughts on the clues that we are given.

I'm pretty sure the producers just came in one day and gave him until the end of the weekend to end the whole thing. I like to think of it as fanfiction that just happened to have been written by the original creator.

I like to think of it as fanfiction that just happened to have been written by the original creator. Does feel that way. I haven't seen it in a while but I always remembered that one subplot in it just felt tacked on to fill time and didn't really amount to much. I really like Reality Trip as Danny's end point. RT gives the final reinforcement Danny needed to know his parents love him dearly, it's just nice seeing that boy get a couple of "your parents will love you no matter what" moments throughout the series (one with alternate timelines!) culminate in him having an ideal family situation, but returning the status quo not to keep his identity for his own sake but for theirs. Also filled to burst with comic book references, like some visual cues from Killing Joke but with King Joker ideas. And then Kindred Spirit shows us an overly cocky Danny who thinks he's king hotshit of ghost mountain now that he's conquered each and every one of his demons, but mostly backs it up, remembers that his friends are the reason he even got this far and just gets the most legit win against Vlad yet, boasting that new power from ages ago while destroying every last fragile bit of whatever glass life he had left. It's so good. Vlad is so loving down and pissed at that moment, just thinking of what that monster could do unhinged after that defeat... and then season 3. Sigh.

I know new shows usually start out weak, but I just accidentally watched the Knight and Me sneak peek, and it's terrible even by first episode standards. Like, really really bad. EDIT: Allright. In fairness, if I were of the target audience age, I'd probably think it was at least worth watching.

Gaunab posted:Trollhunters is pretty good. Only watched the first four episodes. AWE poo poo. its out.... So I worked on TrollHunters over 2 years ago. it felt like forever. (I was a prop and enviroment Visdev artist) I couldn't figure out what the final show would be like as it was still a jumbled mess of drawings, temporary voice overs and Indiana Jones sound effects. we were on a tiny budget and we had to reuse as much How to train your dragon stuff as we could. Please tell me what you guys think of it. I'm too close to it since i worked on it for like a year so all my judgment is clouded. Little interesting factoid. Lighting and shading CGI is really expensive and tedious, and only big budget movies have the resources to make it look good. but trollhunters utilized a new piece of software that allowed much cheaper lighting, so it was able to achieve something much closer to that of a cinematic pixar look, but for pennies on the dollar. it represents a shift in what CGI television shows will be able to do now. and I fully expect there to be more "movie quality" looking CGI kids shows in the near future. But well see. it really depends if Trollhunters does well.

What you said is interesting, becausd i did notice a lot of reused assets from HTTYD stuff. It didn't stand out in a negative way, however, it was used very well. I'd dare say the new tech you yielded earned great results, too. Especially sincs the show relies on a glowing, flashing object as a major prop, which would require good lighting like you said.
