TV Zombie posted:Was watching a Steven Universe fusion video and they had some fusions that made me curious about whether some of these fusions actually happened in the cartoon or whether they are fan made art. Like is the Legendary Carbon an actual fusion? If not, it's amazing how much work the fans put into thinking about the possible fusions. You can probably look it up pretty easily. In that case, I can safely say, no, you were watching fanfiction. And you're missing out, a big deal with the fusions in SU is the presentation- every single once not only has a unique design but their own context, musical theme (generally a fusion of the themes of the characters making it up- and yes, EVERY character has their own musical theme) and is often voice acted by a singer.

yea, saw some clips of Garnet and Pearl's fusion along with Amethyst and Steven's fusion and Obsidian, which is a fusion of all four. I originally started all this because some of the songs I heard from the show sounded really nice which lead to a vid of fanmade(now I know) and real fusions.

Out of curiosity, how did they handle Scorpion? Because his motivation is basically "my entire clan was massacred and I want revenge" and I'm not sure how you make that kid friendly.

I don't remember if he said this sort of thing exactly but you could get away with, "You caused the death of my entire family, and I won't rest until yours is destroyed too!" As long as they don't say, "Murder," "Death," and, "Genocide" you've still got a bunch of descriptors that you can work with.

Yeah, even the trashy cartoons knew they could get away with plenty as long as they leave the vaguest plausible deniability for little kid brains (or rather, the censors) and more recent shows are basically 'You can say it or show it, just not both at once'.

MK actually didn't shy away from using 'death', and 'kill' and the like. but i don't think anyone actually got killed (raiden would send people to the 'realm of no return', which i never realized was a euphemism for death until now  ).

Ed Boon's spent 30 years trying, with limited success, to convince everyone that the skeleton guy who breathed fire was the good guy and the human dude that had rad ice powers was the baddie, to the point where by like the second game he had to go "OK, FINE, there's a good Sub-Zero, OK?!". In fact, there's a theory the bland protagonist guy in the new movie is actually gonna turn out to be the good Sub-Zero.

Yeah, while obviously they cut out all the gore I seem to remember the cartoon actually sticking pretty close to the games in some aspects. Speaking of, does that cartoon actually hold up that well nowadays (and did it get something akin to an ending or was it just cancelled)?

Okay it has to have been mentioned before, but, 'City of Ghosts' on Netflix is actually really adorable and despite knowing sweet gently caress all about L.A., I still find it a really cute blend of kinda sweet stories with local vibes. It's semi-serious-silly and I sorta dig the 'CG Fisher-Price Figure + real backgrounds' art style. Anway, it's short, 6 ep, 18min each, easy snackin'. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWjLexwj4eQ Give it some love.

galenanorth posted:The trailer for Infinity Train's season 4 is out The non-train scenes look kind of 70s/80s, both the muted palette and the look of the clothes. It would be interesting to see what the train was like before Amelia messed it up, or at around the time she arrived, depending on when her story was set, which could be anywhere between the late 70s and the early 90s. The uniforms the main characters are in and the magnetic boots as standard things for passengers are new in terms of what we've seen before. Simon's boots could have been scavenged or from the cat's collection.

Ugh. They gives and they takes. Cool that we're getting Season 4, but if this doesn't tie up the Amelia and Hazel plot from last season then I'm going to be super annoyed. The whole reason I was hoping for s4 was to resolve that dangling plot.

The lead characters are also dressed the same as Amelia was. So, maybe from the same time frame? It could be during her rise to power as the conductor?

Yeah, I think the production cycle for the show was that each ordered season was one "book," so they did 1 and 2 at the same time and then 3 and 4 were done together. Probably NDAs prevented them from talking about exactly what was happening when they were talking about the show being cancelled or people moving on last December, but really this season was already made at that time and the network was declining to order another two-book season that would have been 5 and 6.

Every season of Infinity Train has had a gimmick about the Number. Season 1 was figuring out how it was intented to work. Season 2 was creating numbers where they didn't exist before. Season 3 was unlearning all the misinformation about it. Going to make a guess for Season 4: Since these two start with the same number and arrive at the same time, there's going to be something broken, like every time one of their numbers goes down, the other goes up by an equal amount. So there's no way for both of them to get off the train by following the rules. They'll have to get creative.

I'm excited for it and April 15 feels really soon the way that time is flying these days I'm going to guess one of them is drifting from the dream of being a musician, but is maintaining the band and went on the train trip before the Infinity Train trip only in order to maintain the friendship, or in some other way codependency is the problem. Then the number stays stuck at 202 because they're in denial. Ryan has a mischievous look as he's running in the first train, so maybe there's something going on with that like hiding it from parents and missing school. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Mar 12, 2021 |

A stand-alone story is neat but I did like the earlier way the show had each season with a new protagonist that was featured in the prior season. It was a format that I feel like I've never really seen another show do before or since.

I'm guessing it's a codependency thing. I wonder if they'll even leave the train. Maybe they stay, with the intention to have them featured as side characters in a (now nonexistent) future season.

If this is set in the past, what are the odds either that Amelia appears as a new passenger and the main characters unknowingly set her on the path of taking over the train, or they are responsible for making the mirror cops somehow—maybe by failing the mirror car challenge?

I'm rather annoyed that the channel that's airing Craig of the Creek in the UK decided to apparently stop airing it, so I can't watch the episodes on their website any more. It's especially weird given they decided to stop in the middle of a season for no apparent reason. I was really enjoying it. Edit: Also I'm hoping that Anne gets to break out her Muay Thai skills later in this season of Amphibia. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 15, 2021 |

Something I like about Amphibia is that at this point it isn't a fish out of water story anymore after a while - Anne, Sasha and Marcy have fully become part of their respective communities, after starting as an outsider, prisoner and pretender respectively. When they inevitably get their ways home there may be a bittersweet note to it as they will be missed. Whichever world whichever one of them picks, the other will have a hole left in it that will need at least a readjustment to fill.
