cant cook creole bream posted:Thinking about it again, I am a bit unsure if it's actually one sided. Luz was kinda obsessed with befriending her and is acting nervously dorky around her. On the other hand they're like the only two people who love that presumably trashy fantasy series and they are both giant nerds, so I guess that is a big incentive to befriend someone. Also Luz is the outspoken POV character but did not mention anything of the sort. Of course she might just not realize it. Any sort of affection or attraction is definitely a one sided thing by Amity it seems like, but she seems to be a fairly repressed person with high expectations in upbringing that her older siblings seem to have shirked (or also suffer under and escape via being troublemakers of their own). SlothfulCobra posted:So far as I know, there's functionally no external difference between close platonic friendships and young romance without any active sexual aspects, especially at the age where everyone is extra awkward and uncomfortable about every interaction and its greater social context, and they might not even have the concepts carved out separately in their minds anyways. Owl House is Y/A as hell, so who knows what's gonna happen. It's not surprising people have latched onto it in the same way they do with other Y/A stuff. There's definitely a lot of this though. Luz might only understand romance in other people and not in herself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7FySIfypLc I guess this is part of the reason why Milo Murphy's Law hasn't had new eps in a while. Still seems sorta weird that it'd got another movie so long after the series ended, but I guess it's still popular.

Cockmaster posted:Hell, I was expecting Simon to at least follow Scar's example and be like "I totally did my best to save her, but she slipped and fell, honest!". But nope... Simon's never shown the ability to be outwardly duplicitous and it made sense for him to not hide it at all. These five episodes have definitely given the audience some interesting nuggets on the backgrounds of our two Apex heads. Grace obviously came onto the train to deal with her parents' perfectionism in dance and how it isolated her. Her bonding with Hazel running her number down was indicative of her beginning to fully accept and bond with others. It's not clear why Simon came on the train yet, but obviously his abandonment by the Cat (which she obviously regrets) pushed him into his full blown hatred of the Train Denizens. He may have already had preexisting abandonment issues which were exacerbated by it but that's not been shown.

Simon's abandonment issues will be put to the brink if Grace "abandons" him and the Apex and that's probably the most dramatic outcome. Since he'll lash out the most in that way.

No.1 Special posted:Infinity Train released 3 more episodes and they are not playing around. I hope Owen and the crew get to make more seasons. Seems like they really want to continue it. This series should be nominated for awards. Holy poo poo. Everything is coming down around Simon. The girl he likes is keeping secrets from him. The person he idolized is not who he thought they were. He abandonment seems like a fairly simple thing though, but even for a 10 year old it obviously hurt and he just never got over it. Also, the return of Amelia and her new role and how she's connected to Hazel. But Amelia definitely tried to create a fake child using DNA of her dead boyfriend. Ghost Leviathan posted:No. Long running series like Pokemon or DB or One Piece are fairly atypical from most anime. Most anime have their contract for some length, usually one or two calendar seasons (cour) and then they're done. If the series is popular enough they get another season/series with an appended name to reflect that it's a continuation of the previous one. Presumably it's due to difference in how their broadcast contracts works compared to the US. Longer running series seem to operate with an indefinite contract where they're allowed to keep making episodes until the company producing it or the creators see fit to end. They're allowed to rebrand or rename as needed. Part of the terms of the contract may also be that if they officially cease production or something, even with the intent to start back up at a later date, that may violate the contract. There allso may be something related to time slots, but that might not be relevant since I only know that issue with Super Sentai/Kamen Rider and them competing (and losing) against Pokemon in the same time slot. Those types of long running series are mostly a thing of the past though. At least for long running manga adaptations, but there's still a number of series that still go week to week with production like One Piece of Detective Conan/Case Closed. They're a dying breed, of course and may possibly be the last of their kind. Pokemon is a little different as it's not an adaptation and is' probably more like another animated mainstay of Japanese TV, Sazae-san Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Aug 21, 2020 |

JT Smiley posted:Just binged Infinity Train to day and all I can say is gently caress Simon! I can't remember the last time a show has made me hate a character this much. Definitely not looking forward to his eventual redemption. I think Simon's gonna go the same way like Amelia where he'll be broken down and be sent away or flee on his own, but his final fate may be unknown while we get to see Grace either exit or start her path to exiting. And if we do see Grace actually leave the train, we might get to see what happens to someone who spends more than a token amount of time on the Train

It's interesting to know that Luz's glyph magic is useless in her world and is something based on the intrinsic nature of the Boiling Isles. Otoh, the magic of the denizens of the Boiling Isles (at least with Lilith) works without issue. Regarding the emperor, he's clearly trying to unite the worlds in a malicious version of the ending of Star vs. though the endgame to what this unification is supposed to do is unclear

TwoPair posted:Well they explain pretty early on that the witches/residents of the Boiling Isles get their magic from their hearts (though they say it in a joke so it's easy to forget) because everyone has weird magic sacs of bile attached to their hearts. Luz doesn't have that, but apparently there's just kind of magic in the Isles themselves, probably because of the titan they're built on, so she's probably drawing on that with her glyphs. So back in "our" world, the glyphs are useless, but Lilith's (and probably every other character's) literally born with it. Two things that'd be interesting to speculate: One, could Luz start mixing glyphs? Two, is it possible her glyphs, if big enough be more potent whatever another witch could put out? Like, draw a glyph around the whole island or something (or maybe the islands in the shape of a glyph)

That's effectively self harm. If you like constant nihilism and dark humour, that's fine, but it is not for everyone and shouldn't ever be. mycot posted:I think political comedy just doesn't work anymore. Being a corrupt weird-looking idiot with too much money is part of The Brand, in a society where Brands are the most important thing. Political comedy as a medium of humour (rather than as a political attack) really only works when the side making the jokes is acting in good faith and the said being joked about can react to it similarly. It requires a level of  on both sides for it to be funny in a way that isn't just straight up being an rear end in a top hat or demeaning the subject (which is why conservative comedy fails). Mind, some people like being assholes and making comedy of that tone, and okay. But then those people are assholes and they can get bent.

Finished the five released episodes of Carmen Sandiego S3 and some of the episodes had the VILE faculty acting a bit out of character. Just weird goofy Halloween themed hijinks while they're in their new base and it's just strange. It's all being led by the same person rather than at least rotating them. It's oddly cartoonish and juvenile and OOC. Three new VILE Agents are introduced including one voiced by Dante Basco (he does not scream about HONOR). His character and his partner are fairly uninspiring so far, but the third agent is given a stronger personality and thus stands out very well.

SlothfulCobra posted:When the biggest media company in the country who have the whole business model of building a franchise that just stretches things out forever for all time are very conspicuously averse to shelling out a couple bucks to extend a successful project because of some old rule from before they were the biggest media company in the country, that seems like a sign that the company at large doesn't care much about this little subdivision. Parks is actually second to media. Media revenue sourcing being defined as: quote:a) Affiliate fees - Fees for "ESPN, Freeform, NatGeo, etc". from distributors & other service providers With all things programming, without actual numbers on ratings and costs, we don't actually know how successful the show is Gross or Net. There's not really good information to determine how financially successful a show is without digging into filings. Popularity does nominally corelate with revenue, but it's unclear as to the actual dollars and cents of the project and the projected revenue if a 4th season was greenlit versus the cost of retaining the cast. There's also likely internal issues at play as well since that division is likely separate from the Marvel and Star Wars brand divisions so they don't get as much leeway on gambling on another series's 4th season in light of previous failures. But this is all speculation. Parks is its own large division that's separate from programming with its own head and hierarchy just as the programming and sales divisions have. Their own decision making on how to approach hospitality and parks stuff is basically its own thing and the IPs Disney has are generally more a resource that they can pull from to increase revenue such that they're more incentivised to focus on more broadly and internationally popular things across multiple demopgrahic segments rather than drilling into particular focuses. The main US parks would likely never see a specifically Ducktales themed section or ride, though they might have at least a single place in the Paris park/resort to try and woo the more local European segment since the US parks are more internationally focused compared to the non-US parks.

Electric Phantasm posted:I only watched Winx once or twice, but yeah that is absolutely different from what I remember. Like the original show was some animated kids show that aired on Kids' WB if that gives you an idea. Winx is a joint Italian/American production that's run since 2004. It's its own small institution at this point. Nickelodeon of all companies helped revive it after its original 5 year run and there's a comic of it that's been running in Italy since the series premiered. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winx_Club

It makes me curious as to what's going on behind the scenes. Edit: It's actually extremely frustrating for me that ACME has remained perpetually twelve steps behind everyone in the plot Edit 2: This seems like series finale stuff. And looking it up on Wiki, it is. That explains the differences in S3 and S4. and probably means they were different batches, with the latter prompted to tie up loose ends and abandon the initial plans they had for the season.

readingatwork posted:Very weird to see a spinoff aimed at a younger demographic who probably have never seen the original show but I have no objections to it or anything. Also I guess that this is the start of CN's push towards entering the preschool programing market so we'll probably be seeing a lot of announcements like this. Jessica's also a weird character for that since she's in the same mold of Anais of Gumball where despite being a pre-schooler or w/e with some of that maturity and taste, she's also fairly intelligent beyond the main characters. Jessica's a bit more realistic in depiction where it's more that her interests are definitely more high brow and relate to a few specific things but don't overlap with Craig's own areas of excellence. I should probably watch more of the show though, but it's definitely good that it's getting more seasons.
