Sounds less silly than her previous cartoon origin story.

Yeah the whole "she's actually a gorilla altered to look human" bit is one of those ideas that has never been anything but stupid, probably why outside of the DCAU, literally every modern version of Giganta has given her a different origin

I’ve been looking forward to Infinity Train for a while now. What’s on the link? It forwards to the UK CN site for me.

A link to the Infinity Train website though for now it's just a set of piano keys.

Just finished the first two episodes of Amphibia. It seemed to me to be another comedy/adventure 11-minute show with some good voice performances, a cool world, and that Gravity Falls style comedy, but then at the end they hinted at a recurring storyline and at a deeper plotline, which pretty much hooked me right in.

Moomin valley is wonderfully delightful but seeing as how moomin is a European/Japanese thing I doubt it will come over here.

I don't know where you got the impression that it was her "origin" story. Like, yes, it's the episode where we are introduced to the origin of her powers, but everything from the fact that she waited until her parents were out of town to 'bulk up' to the fact that she knew what and how to inject herself makes me think that this isn't the first time or even the third.

Ok cool but if she’s a habitual user there should be a line of dialogue like “this stuff always gets the job done” or “I’ve been waiting all day for this” so the audience knows what’s up.

I've always found it funny how Moomins as a franchise despite being hugely popular in both Europe and Japan, has never really achieved much success in the US even though there's plenty of aspects to it that should lead to it

In a just world the 90s Moomin series would have made it onto one of the major kid networks or blocks here in the US and been a huge success

Not how I imagined the voices but that last sentence is pure gold.


I finally watched the Amphibia premier and 2 things bother me about it.

1. I hate worms. I don't even like typing the word. Seems I might be seeing a few if I continue.

2. Only mammals have capsaicin receptors. I know they could be a special frogworld thing, but still.

Honestly, I have no idea what show you're talking about, since a few fit that description. For all I know it's about "My Little Pony".

That's the only one on Youtube, but Disney has apparently decided to introduce the show by burning the entire season at once, with daily episodes airing for the rest of the month. If you've got cable, you can see the other three episodes that have aired so far on the Disney Now site or the app. (Note that I haven't seen any but the first two episodes myself, been at Zion National Park most of the past week and my legs are about ready to fall off so I probably won't get to them until the weekend)

Hmmm...
Probably gonna introduce them as "our old friends that have definitely, for sure, been around this entire time and have been our friends forever, just five steps off camera."

At the end of the episode, they'll be shipped off to Lesbian Island never to be seen again.

I get the impression that they're the previously alluded to basically adoptive parents of one of the secondary characters. This show does NOT throw characters away. If anything the opposite to a fault.

I remember it was more accepted back in my lurking days, with a thread and everything. Pony avatars proliferated throughout the forum. Then...something happened, and it was all gone. I think some of the purged ponylovers went on to found their own forum they called Something Nice.

I generally stay away from the worst of weird and creepy internet subcultures, so I don't know the full extent of how bad it all got.
