I'm p sure the only people interested in becoming animators who aren't into anime are boomer brained millennial nazis who aspire to be clones of John K

Also, since when the hell is 'characters with basic personality traits instead of personalities' something exclusive to anime

It says something when 80% of the time internet people mysteriously have a lot of complaints about modern creative work (especially vague ones like too anime or too Tumblr) the creative team involves women, gays, or both. It's almost as if there's a motivation to be against certain influences being too prominent!

Honestly I don't think you're even wrong about the #ChrisPrattisOver party being mostly motivated because he's an ultra normie jock who plays characters people don't like. He's probably incidentally done messed up stuff but so has everyone in Hollywood at this point.

Does anyone remember why Hazbin Hotel was painted as problematic at one point? I forget the details.

To the shock of absolutely no one the creator was a very long mainstay at the Tumblr art community and thus has years worth of inter e-creator drama that no one should care about. (The actually troubling call outs about harassment at the studio were about another animator who doesn't work on it anymore?)

I mean is there any reason to think Mike and Bryan are suddenly super chuds and that's what they refused to budge on, other than sheer cynicism. Think what you will about Korra, but it's not a misunderstanding of the original series.

Also why is it that black characters so often specifically get electricity powers lol. I mean electricity powers are always cool as hell and fun to watch in animation, but what is that about

I remember someone going into this and the conclusion was that there are basically two characters who are the source for this (Black Lightning and Storm) and most of the early examples are ripoffs of those two (e.g. Black Vulcan). Then I guess it spiraled out of control.

there is 0% chance that Bryke had any intention of having Aang kill the emperor

In the leak of an extremely early series outline that notoriously had Iroh turn out to be the real final boss the energybending/Ozai lives ending is pretty much exactly the same.

edit: I feel like the ATLA ending has aged well because it's kind of the diametric opposite of the Game of Thrones ending; it's thematically appropriate even if it's not the most foreshadowed or lore appropriate. The GOT ending is technically foreshadowed and predictable but feels awful.

Like old fashioned dad only drove his daughter to hate him so much she never wants to see him again but for totally unrelated reasons. It just seems weird the way they did it.

It's pretty bullshit that Asian Americans/Asian Canadians can't seem to make a movie about Asian people without some folks, innocuously or otherwise, mentioning "...but China?"

The fake concern last page about "Turning Red" sounding too China-related, the half-baked cynicism this page about Asian American films being part of Disney's China ploy. You're part of the problem if you can't look at an Asian American work and shut up about China for a second.

It's Asian Canadian but tbh that makes it even more ridiculous. It's one thing it was an entirely white production but...asian artists exist independently of the Disney money machine ?

It certainly says something that everyone else involved in Avatar beyond Mike and Bryan went on to more impressive projects, Joaquim Dos Santos went on to partner with Lauren Montgomery for Voltron, Aaron Ehasz made The Dragon Prince. Perhaps that was because they went on to create other things, whereas Mike and Bryan just keep on keeping on with Avatar, with diminishing returns

I would not put Voltron or TDP as more successful than Avatar by any metric tbh.

Voltron definitely was huge, but I think a mix of how loving toxic the fandom was, the massive mishandling of "Shiro's our gay character (We introduced and kill his ex-boyfriend off in the same episode and kept it ambiguous that they were actually dating)", and some storytelling missteps in the last season killed off a lot of the interest once the series wrapped.

For the uninitiated, all of these things are interconnected. The series ended in a specific configuration of relationships that successfully pissed off literally everyone.

Shiro marries a random man. The rival goes all in with the female lead, who dies. The main character stays volcel.

It's not that the dog would make or break the show's writing it's just that it comes off as so...insecure? Like a superhero movie that only ever refers to the hero as THE VIGILANTE and doesn't have them in the costume until the credits, if the writer's are ashamed to be associated with a talking dog it doesn't spell good things for a Scooby Doo show.
