Rhonne posted:Just finished watching the new season of Voltron. It was pretty good, lots of big things happening Zarkon's dead, for real this time, Lotor's the new emperor and might not be evil, Pidge found her dad and Keith found his mom, and some progress on whatever the hell is happening with Shiro.. I'm glad Lance got a bigger role this season, he even got a sword! At this point either Lotor's pulling the most amazing long con I've seen in a good while, or he really is on the level. His master plan still scares the poo poo out of me, even if it really is 100% altruistic. I can see it backfiring amazingly on everyone.

Rhonne posted:Huh, I didn't know that, weird. Yeah, after this season I can easily see Haggar just going "fine, I'll do it myself," and actually becoming the big bad of the series because literally everyone else in front of her just up and died and her dumbass son actually did turn out to be a justice-minded reformer. Barring an unforeseen third option, it's looking like the main arc of the back half of the show is probably either going to be putting down Lotor's new empire after he turns on everyone or stopping Haggar's roulette wheel of crazy after she kicks Lotor of the throne... unless there's something even deeper than that from the original series that they can pull out as a surprise twist.

The_Doctor posted:Similar story for Star Trek Lower Decks. It’s only been released on CBS All Access for the US (maybe Canada), and literally nowhere else in the world, with no word about when/if anywhere else. Basically you wait in vain hope or you pirate. It aired on CTV SciFi here in Canada, but that was basically an afterthought to it actually being on Crave, a Canadian proprietary streaming service that comes bundled with most cable packages these days anyway. Same story with Discovery and Picard. Actually getting first-run Star Trek shows is one of those rare instances of Canada not getting screwed for digital content vis-a-vis the rest of the world, so I'll take what I can get.

PhazonLink posted:they should change acmeuniveristy to a proper university instead of what was the middle school in the original. It's also established in-universe that toons who are forgotten about by the audience slowly grow older and die, so it would be kind of funny if they played to that premise and they came back and everyone is in their 30s or 40s for the first minute of the show because it's been like 20 years since anyone has actually given a solid gently caress about Tiny Toons

I almost feel like Mike and Bryan cast Seychelle Gabriel in Legend of Korra as a means of apologizing that she had to be involved in the production of that trainwreck of a movie. Which was good either way because she knocked it out of the park as Asami Sato.

Larryb posted:Last I checked the Netflix show was in development hell due to Covid, I know the original creators bailed on it due to “creative differences” at least. The show also picked up a new executive producer last week, but so their only credit of note seems to be "was the executive producer for that one final season of Sleepy Hollow where they desperately tried to right the ship after half the cast bailed because the previous showwrunners were incompetent racists and then it got cancelled anyway." Not doing much in the way of rekindling optimism for the project, gotta say.

I don't think it got picked up by any major sites since the source was so dubious. Ah, I see. Good to know. Too many things about that story seemed dubious to begin with, so I’m glad it’s not true. Still plenty of other ways left for Netflix to gently caress up the series though, so let’s not exhale yet, I suppose.

What kind of person do you even have to be, on like a cellular level, to get not just mad at, but enraged over He-Man anyway? The last time I got mad over He-Man, I was 7 and the kid I was playing with said I couldn't be He-Man because he was He-Man, so I told him to piss off and went to go play with some other kids. Also Orko's totally not actually dead, I'm planting my flag in that one.

Nodosaur posted:Yeah, and I'm just sitting here going "WHAT queer people?" Teela touched Andra on the shoulder and smiled at her once or twice in recognition of something her protege accomplished either on her own merits or through teamwork. This clearly means they're gay. Ignore the fact that Teela has not stopped thinking about or pining away for Adam since the day he died*. I also love the chud narrative that Teela is somehow selfish for reacting poorly to the revelation that basically everyone in her life except equally oblivious King Randor had been lying to her for years, and both versions of the man she loved literally just died ten minutes ago and his death was the thing that exposed that lie in the first place. Yes, someone reacting incredibly poorly to those things happening all at once and then taking some time to slowly get over those traumas is a total irredeemable selfish bitch.

There's just this constant subtle drumbeat of "Well, ancient humans were such stupid, primitive fucks that they couldn't so much as wipe their own asses without help/technology from the Star Peoples." Really the racism of Ancient Aliens is directed at the whole human race rather than at specific ethnic/cultural subgroups. What the gently caress are you talking about and how is this relevant to anything that is being discussed here, you weirdo?

I cock my eyebrow at people who go "I would have been more generous toward it better if they'd called it Teela and the Masters of the Universe". So literally the only thing you're mad about is a non-indicative title?  These are the kind of people for whom lawsuit-proofing warning labels were created. poo poo like "do not place directly on face" on a clothes iron or whatever.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Having read into it, apparently it's actually pretty common for casting calls to include completely erroneous plot details, so take those reports with a grain of salt. Yeah, in the age of NDAs, especially for big projects like this, virtually no information on a call sheet is accurate for the sake of protecting secrecy. The go-to example I have for this is Travis Willingham, an already well-established voice actor, going into an audition for a project he was told nothing about to read for a role that was described only to him by the casting director as “a military officer.” He read a few lines, still in the dark about what the hell he was even auditioning for until he flipped over the script page and saw “SONIC BOOM!” and realized on the spot he was auditioning for Guile and the project was a new Street Fighter game. That’s how hosed up and secretive major casting processes are these days.

So I'm glad we're of a mind together in that regard.

Maybe it will surprise me. Based on the trailer it looks like they’re doing enough interesting stuff story and character-wise that I might check it out, even if the art style is weird and off putting. I have a feeling it’s ultimately going to be merely Okay, especially when stacked up against She-Ra and Revelations.

Larryb posted:New Duncan also strikes me as kind of Sokka-esque, not sure how to feel about that right now. It's also looking from the promo shots that Robo Orko is either just a robot drone that's taken to cosplaying as the real Orko for some reason, or was made by Orko in his image, again for some reason. That's got me more intrigued than anything else I saw in the trailer.

Larryb posted:Huh, I just assumed it was the same Orko but he was a robot instead of a Trollan in this version (if not, I wonder if we’ll meet the real deal at some point then). I mean something up with the backstory because you see Robo Orko posing in front of a statue of what's implied to be the real Orko that's old enough to have had one of its arms fallen off by now, and if you look closely at Robo Orko's design, the hat, scarf, ears, robe and wrappings around his arms to simulate sleeves have clearly been added on later to a pre-existing robot design in an attempt to mimic the look of the statue. So there is a story there.

TV Zombie posted:Did anyone like masters of the universe revelations? I thought I’d enjoy it due to nostalgia but even with knowing that it is part 1, the ending kinda soured me in a couple of ways in Lynn’s quick change of character ( though that may be addressed in part 2) and did no one really not see Skeltor and think to stop him? Madurai posted:It was... fine, I guess? The original He-Man was admittedly a little after my time, so I experienced neither the highs of finding Easter eggs nor the lows of my expectations being subverted. I enjoyed it well enough having seen enough of the original show to know who was who and what was what without really being a fan of it. But it'll all really depend on how the second half of the show turns out, I suppose. Right now Episode 4 was the only real stand out "great" episode because Griffin Newman and Lena Headey picked that fucker up and carried it on their shoulders. I'm looking forward to the second half, but at the end of the day, it's a He-Man show, it is what it is even if it's a tiny bit more emotionally mature than the longform toy ad it was based on.

The CG show however is a complete reboot of the series like the Netflix She-Ra series from a few years ago was. Yeah, that was probably the only real bad joke in the show so far. CG He-Man was otherwise pretty drat funny for what it is.
