My understanding is that he was able to complete almost all the lines for season 2, and it was just a few revisions that Baldwin did in that season.

RIP. Hillenburg and Stan Lee are two dudes whose creations have really influenced me, so it's oddly gutting to lose them both in one month.

I heard about his illness a while back, but it still hurts to know he died so young, of a condition so rare and awful. Thanks for all the laughs, and Rest In Peace.

Miraculous season 3 started today!  (Christ knows where and when the next episode will be shown, though.) Good fun - pretty low stakes compared to the season 2 opener and ending, but having Lilah actively seek out an akuma to cause poo poo for Marinette and Adrien as much as their superhero alts was a new twist on the usual formula.How Ladybug dealt with Chameleon in the end was actually kind of horrific if you think about it. Chameleon's power is to take on the form and abilities of whoever she kisses. Ladybug tricks her into kissing a live oyster... and then shucks her to get at the akumatised object inside. Which is fatal to an oyster! So I guess Miraculous Ladybug can restore the dead, which it would pretty much have to considering the devastation to Paris in 'Syren' and 'Frozer'.

What kind of boomer executive thought that that garbage needed a reboot? Popeye was always bad. At it's best, it was toxic masculine military propaganda and advertisement for misinformed nutrition facts. Seriously, the only reason I can think of which would explain this would be that some old coot wants children to experience the joys and lessons he experienced 60 years ago. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Dec 2, 2018 |

Unfortunately this resembles them not at all, and is... I'm having a hard time explaining why it's so visually off-putting? I think part of it is that they've updated the least important parts of the character designs to look modern, while keeping the iconic (and most blatantly anachronistic) features intact, so it looks like a bunch of old people trying to wear their children's clothes. Also why does Popeye have frosted tips?

It just looks cheap. Whatever the minimal possible budget is to make a cartoon, they can't have spent much more than that.

Nothing will ever top the bizarreness of Popeye and Son, but I don't like that blonde Popeye or that shaven Bluto. Real poo poo animation.cant cook creole bream posted:What kind of boomer executive thought that that garbage needed a reboot? Popeye was always bad. Excuse you. https://youtu.be/kfrbqLO-TCM It's slapstick, which while in many ways couched in violence, it's what you relied on when you weren't sure that any of the dialogue was going to work. The Fliescher color specials are kinda masterpieces in their own right, being an accomplishment of technology and mixed media. While the genre of big strong guy beating up bad guys may be less appealing to these days, it's still the centerpiece of a hell of a lot of things, like the whole superhero genre.

And yeah the nutrition facts are misinformed but like, it was still a cartoon that encouraged eating vegetables, which is an objective good. The_Doctor posted:That looks amazingly terribly cheap. And what's with no voices? Bordering on Elsagate-standard cheap flash stuff. yeah, someone needs to take this to the comment section for any given Teen Titans Go/She-Ra related video and show them what cheap animation actually looks like.

Hey don't look at me, I was perfectly fine with endless TTG with occasional breaks for other stuff but noooo someone just had to wish on the monkey's paw for something else to get overplayed. side note: I watched the TTG movie this weekend and it was very good. Highly recommend if you even slightly like the series.

I watched an episode ages ago because the character designs made me think Lord & Miller were involved (they weren't) and it was good enough for me to finish the season.

Season 2 is mediocre, season 3 is okay but has problems, season 4 is good(and has the best finale in the series), season 5 is a train wreck, season 6 is decent but too short for it's own good, and season 7 is about as good as season 1 in most regards

Waffleman_ posted:https://twitter.com/PopeyeTweetsk/status/1069647232419414016 Yeah. I like that at the end, they mentioned that Bluto now tries to take Popeye's spinach, which makes me think "why didn't Bluto try to eat spinach to counter Popeye's eating of spinach to win the fight, if it has such magical powers in-universe" but now I am thinking "Why doesn't Bluto get his own spinach from the grocery store? Is Popeye's spinach now some special magical spinach?"
