Pick posted:I reached a point, and I don't know exactly when it happened, because as a kid you can get crushes on cartoon characters all the time, but I just hit a point where I just can't find a cartoon sexy. It just looks like a cartoon. So if the selling point if something is predicated on how sexy it is, and it's a cartoon, I'm just going to be confused. Confused and bored.

Hedrigall posted:When you get to hell you finally get to be your fursona No, that's heaven. In Hell you're an animal that's kind of like your fursona, but not quite right. So if your fursona is a wolf, in hell you're a chihuahua.

IIRC he's a spider because while alive he and his family (who are also in hell and are also spiders) were an organised crime ring and crime is a web.

so if the "web (of crime)" was only like... nascent when Jimmy Longlegs was running fake lotto tickets, and he dies, and goes to horny inferno, ostensibly there's not enough there for it to be thematic so does he get a different fursona , or is it like retroactive once everyone on earth has committed enough tax fraud that he's a spider now if his relations on earth started suddenly committing crimes that were more, say, koala crimes, than "spider crimes" does it get changed again. can you then create a service on earth where you commit crimes of a certain sensibility for pay so that your predecessors can become hell jaguars instead of flying squirrels* *9/11

What crime would turn me into a sexy hell moth? I think that would be a good look for me. Probably eating people's clothes, right?

Before I post this, I've never watched Owl House : https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/1292328558921003009 https://twitter.com/_AlexHirsch/status/1292333340414992384

They were probably able to do that because I can't imagine a single person actually watching owl house, because it's extremely bad. However, good for them for getting some representation in there. Now there's one good thing about owl house!

I've never read anyone here say anything good about that show. Which is too bad as I love Gravity Falls, and this show is apparently not worth watching.

It's cool that a lead is bi, but worth noting that Disney has already had gay characters on their cartoons. Ducktales has a character with a gay couple for her dads. Inversely, one of my problems with the Howard documentary is that they try to paint this narrative that there would have been absolutely, positively no issue with Howard Ashman coming out as gay and HIV positive before he won Disney an Oscar.

Yeah, Disney was an openly homophobic company basically right up to the point where Ashman died, and then spent the next 20ish years being quietly homophobic. Now, they're willing to let Imitation Anime be gay, because it's 2020 and straight is illegal

I think Owl House is okay, although Eda steals the show. The dance sequence in the latest episode is really well animated.

I watched the Lego movie for the first time this weekend. Together with my son and wife and by God this is a good solid movie. There's a fairly standard hero journey plot, but they go hogwild with shout outs and lego based weirdness in such a way that it feels fresh. The sheer amount of cameos and poking fun at itself and it's source material is amazing. The soundtrack is technically good I guess, but it did feel a bit like everything is awesome (you're welcome) in different arrangements was the whole of the soundtrack. I love the faux stop motion thing they go with for animation. And that end twist works so well. I'd heard what it was beforehand, but it just works so well. My son didn't quite get everything that happened or the implications of it happening, but these past few days he keeps coming back to the movie fielding questions like. "Was the dad a bad guy?" It really set his mind thinking and usually shortly after a deep talk about symbolism he veers back into retelling the solid jokes. Lord and Miller are really amazing at making solid entertaining movies. After watching this it also immediately becomes clear that a second movie wasn't going to be nearly as good as the first. I haven't seen that yet, but lack of chatter and impact just makes me fill that it didn't. Their only hope was to basically abandon the characters they had, but I know they didn't. I hope my Netflix adds it again soon so I can watch it. They need to get Lord and Miller to make a new Naked Gun movie.

I watch it and enjoy it, granted there are some issues I have with it though. Just curious about contrasting thoughts. Darth TNT posted:I watched the Lego movie for the first time this weekend.

There were things I liked about it a bit more than the first one, but that's hard for me to explain except liking that Emmet was more capable and loves the anti-edgelord sentiment. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Aug 11, 2020 |

One of the reasons I enjoy it so much (aside from the fact that the movie has an actual heart) is that the madcap pace of the comedy never really lets up - like, maybe one or two heartfelt scenes aside, there's basically constant humor that you just don't see in very many movies. I still lose my poo poo at the camera cutting away from Unikitty's YAAAAAA- when she's being bsns kitty.

I knew Lego Movie was legit when I could see little thumbprints on the character bodies. The the dumb weak spot in the astronaut's helmet. But yeah, way to knock it out if the park with story as well as with genuine live of the subject matter. Lego Movie 2 even has a dumb "I stepped on your loving Legos while barefoot " joke.

Wondering if that might be a Lord and Miller trademark, mind. Spider-verse in particular is pretty dense despite having a standard runtime.

I like that Everything is Awesome isn't a celebration like it sounds - it's a desperate attempt to convince the people of Brickburg that *everything* is awesome, including the bad stuff, like this lyric: "Lost my job, a new opportunity, more free time for my awesome community!"

 This doesn't bold well. Tl;dr: Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko walked out of the ATLA live action series because it stopped being the show they wanted it to be and they couldn't do a thing about it. Robindaybird fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Aug 12, 2020 |

Yeah but that's the whole point of Emmetts life before he becomes the "chosen" one. He needs to do everything by the book and to the letter. He has no real identity, to the point of his Co workers even forgetting him. It's a dystopia hidden behind a veneer of awesome. It's something the kids won't pick up on, but the parents will. And someday the kids will realize it as well. It's what elevates the movie to be better than it is. Benny's spaceship is also a brilliant payoff for the many times he dejectedly dismantled his previous attempts at building it.  There is definitely a sense of fullness (in a positive sense) in this movie in the same way as Spiderverse.
