I finally got around to the second season of Infinity Train and I enjoyed the story as well as how it expanded the world. The background score continues to be transcendent. The score is a microcosm of the show's cerebral atmosphere. Especially in the last couple episodes of this season, IT continues to be unrelenting in its weirdness.

They wanted Cassandra but she needed to finish her journey in Tangled first obviously.

SlothfulCobra posted:They sorta still are, although I heard Frozen 2 was not very good. I think the biggest issue is that they're so drat self-conscious and noncommittal about their old style. That's one of the things that's great about Tangled, it's just what it is. It's not some kind of weird attempt at being self-aware or any attempt at self-criticism (while still following through with all the Disney tropes as they disparage them). The songs aren't some kind of cheap workaround, they're not tacked on, they're honest expressions of the characters' emotions.

I thought it was okay but it felt, how do I put it, unnecessary? Kinda like all the direct-to-video Disney sequels of yore, it's just a tale in the same setting where nothing of real consequence happens.

I loved season 2, but I'm having a hard time imagining where they can go next. Season 3 focusing on The Cat? Amelia? The Lord of the Flies Conductor cult kids? None of those things seem nearly as strong a lead as Lake.

I'd say you won't go wrong either way. The music is definitely the best part of the show, but the show is still good on its own. It has its ups and downs, like most shows, but I don't regret watching it. If you just listen to the music, though, I recommend watching the videos because they put their all into the animations.

You could probably put together a shortlist of all the "plot" episodes to give the songs enough context to work. It's not like the the tounament episode or the Gilligan's island arc really matter for the overall plot to work. The show doesn't exactly have a tight plot, Cassandra at the end of season 1 has a goal for her life that's entirely forgotten in season 3. There's also a few episodes with nice songs that have nothing to do with the greater plot that are still worth watching, like The View From Up Here is really nice, but it's not critical to anything else. I feel like the songs lose something without any context, the animation works well in tandem, and with something like I Will Make You Proud, the context of the reprise really makes the whole thing for me.

I didn't mind the filler moments in Tangled, I thought that some of them were quite well integrated, like the Island. The initial stranding in season 2 establishes that the island has magic that lets you see a facsimile of someone you've lost, then season 3 has a character broken enough to seek that magic out deliberately. I thought that most of the filler was at least interesting.

I put together a list. The Before Ever After Movie is what starts the series. There's also the original Tangled movie that you should watch if you haven't and wanna get to the series. Season 1: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 If you're fine with skipping introductions to characters, you could pare that down to: 1, 16, 21, those are the ones with songs and places in an overarching narrative structure. 13 has a song, but it's kinda lame. Season 2 is better overall, but if you want to skip the "unimportant" bits that don't matter for later: 1*, 4, 5*, 7, 14*, 15*, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21* I left out some gold like most of Vardaros and the buddy episode between Eugene and Maximus. Season 3, even denser with good bits, but still some chaff, and not all of it links together for the overall plot, so if you don't wanna see extraneous character bits: 1*, 2, 9*, 12*, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17* * episodes have songs if you wanna really skip the plots and just get the music in its immediate context. It might even be easier to pick up if you start with season 2 and revisit season 1 later, because the show kinda treads water for a long time before it picks up a sense of purpose. That was how it was for me and Star vs. the Forces of Evil, once you watch the tighter episodes, you might be more inspired to go back and see the characters before the plot picked up.

I thought that most of the filler was at least interesting. Looking at the episodes there was so much that could've been brought back towards the end that could've been something more. Some of it's not that important like Pascal's Dragon, but some could've really been of use at the end like Stallion or Quaid. And I still think that some things seem like they mattered enough that not bringing them back feels like a plothole, like Cassandra's relationship with her father and how she used to aspire to being captain of the guard. That wizard guy with the Rhino felt like he should've done something important as well, but he had nothing going on aside from being a miniboss. I'm not even really sure what happened to Cassandra's hand, how much it was damaged, if it's even better now?

It is surprising just how good Glitch Techs looks and moves for being mostly rigged on Toon Boom.

Taear posted:Until now I've not heard of this and I really want to see it, sounds super interesting! It's a surreal adventure series with a surprisingly disquieted atmosphere thanks to the bizarre and imaginative imagery and the prog electronic soundtrack that takes from John Carpenter and the like. Also, both seasons are under two hours each. You can watch a whole season in the same time you can watch a movie shorter than Star Wars. Madurai posted:I loved season 2, but I'm having a hard time imagining where they can go next. Season 3 focusing on The Cat? Amelia? The Lord of the Flies Conductor cult kids? None of those things seem nearly as strong a lead as Lake. They could just go for a completely fresh protagonist in S3 since it seems like people who enter the train must have a flaw they need to work on. They don't have to continue the "chain" of protagonists thus far. That being said I wouldn't mind Kate Mulgrew Cat being the protagonist for a season.

Owl House seems to be getting interesting. Eda realising that since she's pretty lazy about teaching Luz magic and doesn't seem to have much of a plan for it that it's probably better all around to let her learn from the professionals seems interesting, and probably a jab at home-schooling. Also she used to be a redhead, of course.

I've loved the principal so far, the right balance of "hard, but fair" while also having seen and dealt with EVERY type of bullshit that students could pull.

Also seems like he might be motivated by the old adage 'Better inside pissing out than outside pissing in'; someone who'll actually get Eda to clean up some of her own mess is probably a rare thing, and it means Eda has a reason not to make his job any harder. (Aside from, well, being responsible for Luz, but that's something he's probably used to) Get the impression that the vaguely referred to Emperor's authority over the Boiling Isles is pretty loose, Eda doesn't need to go to a lot of effort to hide her identity. (just at least some) Institutions like the school might especially tout their independence, at least relatively.

I am looking forward to the further flashbacks on the exploits of teenaged Edalyn and Lilith Clawthorne.

So, according to the internet it seems that there's been a lot of hints dropped that Eda is apparently Stan Pines' one-day ex-wife? I mean, I could see it.

I haven't really been following along with Owl House but I feel like Eda is an entire order of magnitude out of Stan's league, even when he was younger.

I was in the process of typing that it makes no sense, but I could actually see it with the league thing him just using swagger to make the difference and they're both very blatant con people who love chaotic pranks so there's also that. Would need links to the hints. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Mar 16, 2020 |

I can only see them getting together if it involved both of them using eachother, probably robbing the other and leaving in the dead of night. I don't really get why Luz hasn't been recording and freeze framing as many spells as possible. It seems like that's the only way for her to actually learn and do magic.
