Benne posted:I tapped out in the middle of Season 2, but I heard the show got much better by the end, so maybe I'll go back and finish it at some point. I'm convinced that the reason people say that is because the only the diehard fans stuck around after season 2. They are sort of like the people that say the Simpsons is still good.

The_Doctor posted:So I finished watching Avatar:TLA tonight. Man, what a ride. I’m glad I finally watched it all from beginning to end. Now what do I do...? Korra, I guess? Don't watch Korra, the people who say its gets better for season 3/4 are the people who decided to keep on watching the series despite how terrible season 1 and 2 were. Its like people who say current Simpsons isn't so bad anymore.

stratofarius posted:Anybody reading the Avatar/Korra comics? Some of them really miss the mark, but the latest ones from both sides are pretty interesting (with the latest Avatar one dealing with a bender vs non bender situation, and the latest Korra one dealing with the remnants of Kuvira's big ol' Earth Empire). Korra, (and the M. Night Shyamalan movie) kind of killed any potential future for the franchise. I know some people argue that it allegedly got better for the third season. Regardless if that is true or not, it doesn't mean anything if nobody watched it. The ratings tanked hard when compared to the premiere episode.

TwoPair posted:Yeah, if nothing else I am glad they're establishing it as a narrative show off the bat. I know I've bitched about it in other threads but I think that's a much better approach than the Steven Universe/Star vs./Adventure Time kind of format of "silly show then hard swerve to serious town later". Steven Universe/Adventure Time were much better when they weren't so heavily focused on the narrative though. Although, I do admit that Adventure Time might have been better if it was more serious from the start. Also, whatever happened with that weird west show that somebody posted a trailer of awhile back? It looked interesting.

SlothfulCobra posted:Gravity Falls was pretty good aside from all the romance subplots for too-young characters that didn't go anywhere anyways. There was a really weird creepy trend of that at the time. Adventure Time had it too, and I felt like another show did it.

mycot posted:Regular Show? Korra? (Even though neither have the "the entire cast's age is in the single digits" problem, they're in the spirit of having bizarrely complicated relationship plots that don't matter to anything). No, I'm more thinking of spending a bunch of time on a romance between a 12-13 year old boy and a much older girl. The joke in season 2 more seemed like the creators realizing how creepy it was after realizing how creepy it was in season 1.

Amphibia's release schedule is fine. Its not like Cartoon Network's habit of releasing only like 5 episodes at a time, and then having like 6 months or much longer before the next batch is released. Its not like they are dumping the entire show at once either.

I just skimmed the thread. Also, most people's reaction to Rebecca Sugar stuff is that its funny. Its not exactly news that artists draw porn. Basically every artist draws porn.

I dropped Voltron during Season 3 when they started it redoing the initial arc of season 1 with everybody have to learn to work together. Everything I have heard about the series afterwards has convinced me I made the right choice.

Mr. Mayor is going to be revealed to be a total sleazebag, and one of the ongoing plots will be his attempts at re-election which must be stopped. Also, HIM will be an attractive man that looks completely normal except maybe his suit is red. Possibly has a British accent. One of the cast members from the original show will be murdered by the end of the first episode. Possibly their Kindergarten teacher.

YggiDee posted:There's probably a connection here between the hunger for serialized American cartoons and the early 2000s explosion in anime piracy but I don't really know enough to articulate it. I think the fact that anime is willing to target an older demographic has a lot to do with it. In the early 2000s, western cartoons (non-comedy) that targeted anybody older than a tween were basically non-existent. (Western cartoons that target an older audience are still pretty rare even now.)

MHA also had Endeavor who horribly abused his entire family, to the point that his wife had to be committed to a mental hospital, didn't even really need to apologize and is even repairing his relationship with his son without doing so. (Maybe the manga had it though).

I have zero attachment to the He-Man franchise. It was just a lovely toy commercial from before I was born. However, I don't see the point of having a He-Man tv show without He-Man in it. At that point, it seems like it should just be its own original thing. (Its because media is currently way too risk averse and nobody wants to create an original IP)

The sensible thing to do, is that if you want a property to be a tax write-off, you need to let it enter public domain, but nobody is going to let that happen because they will still want to cling onto IPs they will never use.

Dawgstar posted:I assume it has to do with Hollywood accounting so movies that are a hit can be shown aren't in fact hits and thus studios don't need to pay taxes on them, or something. That's a different strategy. They offload company-wide unrelated expenses on a production, so its impossible for it to be profitable.

SlothfulCobra posted:I do get the sense that while Zaslav hates all good things on this earth, he seems to hate children and women more, so adult animation with a strong male audience is gonna be safer. I'm not sure about that. Reality TV shows are much more popular among women than men which is part of the reason he tried to justify a focus on non-scripted stuff.

Larryb posted:Speaking of, how was that show? It looks interesting Neat action/animation. The story is a little bit messy, but I still enjoyed it. Probably could have benefited by not being so heavily serialized, since its clear there are some ideas that Genndy wanted to mess around with but maybe shouldn't be tied into the main narrative.
