asides from a small cult following (say like how there were my little pony fans decades before bronies were a thing) was there anyone who gave a poo poo about she-ra before the online nerd crowd through a shitfit over the remake?

Uncle Wemus posted:What actually IS the cal arts style Imo the style looks a lot like sketches/doodles, is more stylized, and draws more inspiration from Japanese animation instead of the Cartoon Network art I grew up with, which definitely cleaved toward aping thick line styles, ie classic WB/Hannah Barbera/Fleischer Bros, etc. It also doesn’t help that, during the rise to prominence of the style, the internet became so ingrained in all of our lives that you could literally get moment to moment life, thought and feelings updates on creators whose work you respect, and people are still adapting to what anyone who has spent any time near or in art school already knew; an animator is not so much a magician that sings to life the dreams of a generation as they are broken brained, horny obsessives that mainly got into sequential art because genitals drop off & scurry away to hide under wood piles whenever they attempt to ply their woo on the living. The style gets unfairly denigrated as a result.

Everything I needed to know about politics I learned from Ghost in the Shell: all power is suspect and will kill for its own interest and no other, be a sexy lesbian robot person and merge with the first AI you meet. Then be super vague in the second movie nobody cares about.

I'm watching the first episode of Solar Opposites, couple minutes in, and I am now pretty sure Dan Harmon is the sole reason Rick & Morty isn't a big dirty diaper full of "jokes". Little dense, pellet shaped "jokes" that indicate the creator needs to see a doctor.

Not surprising, but all the same how much of a lunatic do you have to be for Dan Harmon to be the stabilizing influence in the partnership.

I've been spending lockdown rewatching Community since it's on Netflix now, and man the disparity in quality between season 4 and literally every other season makes Dan Harmon look like a comedy genius. I wouldn't be at all surprised if everything funny about Rick and Morty is him.

My favorite Dan Harmon is a severely broken human being story is the one about he and his (now ex) wife were at the mall and she said something he didn’t like, so he ran away, hid somewhere and texted her insults. He’s a textbook example of what Hollywood can do to your brain if you were already a little unstable and it starts calling you a genius in your early 20s, before you have a chance to truly learn how stupid you are, instead of just thinking or saying you’re dumb so that people will think you’re approachable.

The only episode I remotely enjoyed was the one with the Germans (404 I think) so my advice is to watch that one, skip the rest, and go straight to season 5. There are more good jokes in episode 501 than in all of season 4 put together. Also, in an extremely Dan Harmon move, in season 5 they repeatedly refer to season 4 as "the gas leak year".

I watched all of the initial run, including the mythical Yahoo Screen season, and I'd say the first three are really the only ones I care to revisit. Season 4 was poor of course, but 5 and 6 also never quite get their footing again with Donald Glover gone. I'd go so far as to say the show was already showing some signs of wear by season 3.

I agree that 5 and 6 are more uneven, but having (nearly) finished rewatching season 5 now it's actually a lot better than I remember and has some solid episodes and bits in it, and while losing Donald Glover is a big blow, the season-long guest stars also do some really good work.

people were making fun of Chrissy for trying to act like a normal person when she is a famous gajillionaire and also about some stupid product line she slapped her name on. and after she locked they were laughing at her for locking her account like a regular person when she's a rich famous person with millions of followers. twitter. huh.

That all started because a New York Times writer gave a controversial interview to help launch her vintage spoon start-up. In the interview she called Chrissy Teigen a sellout. This is the light hearted drama we need during these dark times.

Been watching Reno 911! It still holds up in some places, but it's the kind of show that would not be made today. I know it portrays the police force as a group of bumbling idiots, but I can't help but feel a lot of the jokes would try to get the show canceled by woke twitter today. That being said, it is being rebooted, on a service no one uses (Quibi?), and in 7 min increments.

Forceholy posted:I can't help but feel a lot of the jokes would try to get the show canceled by woke twitter today. Not sure how much people can relate, but I kind of feel like my cultural alienation happened in two "waves". The second wave is the one more familiar to CSPAM, the one where shitlibs, including POC and "intersectionist" shitlibs, started punching left and using woke language and ideas cynically to justify liberal meritocracy and gatekeeping. But I'm still scarred by the first "wave" too, which was before that woke culture became general liberal orthodoxy. Usually it's a cis white liberal man just doubling down on being racist or condescending. Bill Maher feels like a surviving legacy example of this. I'd lump Seth MacFarlane into this category, though I always hated him. Aaron Sorkin is another. Matt Groening and Al Jean doubling down against anti-Apu criticism is a fairly late example of this, and it disappointed me quite a bit even though this was well after most people gave up on The Simpsons. There's obviously a lot of overlap. White Feminism is one of the connective tissues between the two. Libs walking back on MeToo in TYOOL 2020 is another example of how maybe they're not totally distinct from each other. There's just this general feeling of "I thought you guys were supposed to be the good guys", and it manifested a lot in pop culture for me.

She trips over maybe twice so Duchovny's character refers to her as a "walking disaster area" or something.
