Having watched both The Legend of Korra and The Dragon Prince* kinda gives you a feeling each one is missing some things the other has. Makes it seem like TLA just happened to be a very good creative partnership and once some of the people involved were no longer on the overall quality of the show suffered. * I'm aware of the accusations against Ehasz, you don't need to tell me

Korra was alright but had a lot of unfortunate wasted potential in parts of it, but if anything, internet people getting insanely insufferable about wanting everyone else to hate it probably made me even kinder to it in the long run.

It's a really tough act to follow. My opinion of it really oscillated between 'Aw, the bending feats are way smaller scale than AtLA' and 'Wow, holy poo poo that's just a thing now?' Like, third episode just casually dropping that people shoot lightning as a job. Or the third season bringing in literal flight and lavabending. Also giving Korra actual PTSD after the third season.

I thought it started off a bit awkwardly with its first season, especially all the pro bending stuff, but it kept on getting better as the seasons went along. It was always going to be tough living up to the reputation of the original series, but going in a different direction paid off in the end.

Honestly surprised by the score win, since I thought the smart money was on John Williams getting a legacy/farewell award for Rise of the Skywalker's core.

re Korra chat, the series was also plagued with a ton of really dumb decision making by Nickelodeon: 1. Midway through pre-production Nickelodeon execs learned the protagonist was going to be a girl, and halted production and almost canned the whole project because "only girls will watch shows about a girl" and the creators had to convince them to restart production. 2. The series was originally going to be a single, self-contained 12 episode series. Then halfway through production Nickelodeon upped it to two 12 episode seasons, which is why the ending of Book 1 feels rushed. Sometime after that Nickelodeon then upped the number of episodes again to 56. 3. Because of all of the above, the animation studio that normally handled Avatar and Korra was working on another project at the time S2 had to start production, so Pierrot was tapped to do the first six episodes until the original studio was free to finish the rest. It... shows. The first six episodes have some pretty darn awful animation and you can tell it limited how scenes could even be constructed. 4. The first 3-4 episodes of Season 3 leaked online prior to its premier which killed ratings for those episodes, and also apparently really pissed Nickelodeon execs off and soured them on the whole project. 5. Nickelodeon decided the falling ratings were due to a bad timeslot, and so kept constantly changing the broadcast time and day for new episodes... which caused ratings to tank even harder because nobody knew when the drat thing was on. This continued until- 6. Nick decided the show wasn't viable on TV anymore and from episode nine of Book 3 onward, the show was only available via online streaming. This was supposedly so that Nick could avoid having to release ratings numbers for it. There are definitely aspects of the show that I think are poor that would still have been poor even in ideal conditions, but yeah executive meddling really screwed Korra over from start to finish.

Everything else is really a shame.

Been a while since I posted here. About a month ago a vid of mine got algorithm'd and blew up. It attracted other folks to my stuff. Lots more subs, lots of constructive dialogue, nice all around. However, another one of my videos has been getting a lot of attention now. It's gone from 4k to 60k+ views. It is maybe the most inoffensive content I've produced; essentially an examination of a movie wherein the thesis is "it's a nice, optimistic movie that surmises a kind of millenial-exclusive outlook on life". This video, which I would have pegged as the most neutral and inoffensive one I've made, has been getting inundated with comments saying "movies like this are cancer", "I hate libtarded poo poo like this" etc. It honestly feels like a massive sucker punch and I think the reality of "no matter what you produce, it will make some people seethingly mad and hateful". My last video was at least semi-political, so I was ready for it, but seeing people crawl out the woodwork to express their rage at a two-year old video that just says "hey this is a cool movie" is getting to me, man. Any advice on powering through this? It is pretty moralising

No good answers here, and nor from other creators going by recent videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrMvyVEQO6M I do want to say your Blazing Saddles vid was awesome, though, and I've linked to it a few times on other sites, to good response. Hopefully making stuff like that is worth the terrible youtube community

Calico Heart posted:Been a while since I posted here. That's rough but yeah there's no telling what will attract a lot of abuse from the chuds. I remember following a (at the time) punk channel that had less than 300 subs and few uploads that reached over a thousand views, yet every upload had many downvotes and racist nonsense for comments sections. The new yt creator studio is awful but it does have a section that lets you ban users and comments with certain words and phrases from being published. It may also be worth hiding comments and then removing the more disgusting ones. Now I just delete them when I see them.

Literally every negative comment I get on YouTube is 'Look at the nose, this guy is definitely a Jew', so yeah basically all negative feedback you'll ever get is like this or worse. The YouTube shadowban feature (Hide all comments from this user) is excellent, use it very dilligently.

Calico Heart posted:Been a while since I posted here. I can see why that particular video would get those kinds of reactions. It starts by calling out a bunch of popular movies for, essentially, being outdated and problematic, which is exactly the sort of thing that sets off easily-angered fanboys. Chances are, most of them didn’t even watch past the one minute mark before racing to the comments section to deliver their sick burns. Which is not to say I liked the video personally; I thought it was overly schmaltzy and idealistic, and I disagree with its anti-nostalgia message, but whatever. Unlike the guy in the movie, in the real world anyone trying to engage in something creative will always have to put up with dickheads wanting to tear them down. The best way to deal with them is to just act like they don’t exist, because anyone so pathetic as to sling around insults like that is not worth even a moment of your attention.

Calico Heart posted:Been a while since I posted here. OK, at first I wanted to make a dumb joke about moralising being good sometimes, but I guess you can live without me correcting your spelling.  After thinking about this, apart from just not allowing comments on that video, I can only recommend answering to the dumbest and most hateful assholes that they're wrong because I , Libluini, agree with you on all accounts 100%. Hopefully this will make them hopping mad at me instead and they invade my channel, leaving you alone. If they send you death threats, just tell them that I am a serial killer and for every death threat received, I will get one step closer to their loved ones. Talk freely about me brandishing huge knifes and/or guns, depending on what makes them madder. As I see it, at worst your channel only has half the assholes it had before, at best they all migrate to my stupid dumbass channel and leave you alone.
