A general for "western" animations/cartoons.
Gonna start off with a recommendation to watch The King and the Mockingbird the 1980 version especially, absolutely comrade-pilled movie.

>>47607>Once again, do not send hate or harm to Gooseworx, Michael Kovach, or Ashley.sure bud
>This video is meant to express my dislike for their r4cist and anti-Jewish jokes.LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>47556Absolutely manufactured drama tbh. People blew shit way out of proportion.
The Michael Kovach drama was people taking a stupid joke from years ago and harassing him into 'apoligizing'. Really he should have just ignored it, but apologizing gave these retards ammunition.
Then Gooseworx said on a livestream a while ago that Jax and Pomni are the main characters of TADC and thus will get the most amount of screen time/character development, and she doesn’t get why some fans are mad about that when it’s been clear from the beginning. Some people on Twitter/Bluesky had meltdowns over this statement, but not really directed at Goose for the most part. Some time after that stream, Goose was talking to some fans on a TADC subreddit, and while she did receive a few rude comments, most of them were pretty respectful. The same day, she deactivated her Reddit account. She also made a Bluesky post saying something like, “I’m sorry if I upset anyone with the things I said recently, I’m just trying to do my best.” This led to a bunch of people believing she was bullied off of Reddit by an angry mob of toxic fans. YouTubers started making “drama” videos about it like crazy, and fans starting sending a huge outpouring of supportive messages to Goose while also going on witch-hunts for these so-called “toxic fans.” Goose had to clarify that none of that actually happened, she’s just going through some personal mental health issues atm and it had nothing to do with what anyone said to her online. She deactivated her account because she just needs to get offline and take time to herself to heal away from social media. And she also posted something along the lines of, “I don’t want a personal appreciation week for having a public crash-out online. It makes me uncomfortable.” She just wanted everyone to leave her alone, basically. Even the positive attention was too much for her.
>the average fan is a barely functional human being, even the normie ones, literally a bunch of autists and/or (wo)manchildren obsessing over pop culture You're not contradicting me. The average "fan" is part of a fandom. One can be a fan of a work without being involved in the 'community'
>>47614tell that to videos peopleess
>who carur mom a car
>>47664Breakneck pacing can work, it's just poorly structured. The opening either should have been longer or should have been placed later as a flashback. Either way I'm just not interested in another millennial nerd series about wacky video game references.
I can't be the only one who finds it weird that everyone says "Indie animation is the future" but when you ask for something like Glitch to become unionized or suggest turning it into a worker co-op it's always responded with "We'll get there when we get there".
>>47681Gonna be honest I haven't seen Gameoverse, but from what I know of other Glitch Shows (and related content like Hazbin Hotel) TADC feels like a better show so far. The premise of Gameoverse is at least interesting, but I don't play any video games except TF2 (I mean I have played other video games, but irregularly and never my own games, like back in the 90s arcade days) so I just really don't care about it. There was some Star Fox vibes I got from some clips but that's about it.
In short I just like TADC. Even Murder Drones is passable slop that cannot be taken at all seriously as anything more than fun shitposting in animation form.
>>47664It was fine in my opinion, the animation is really good and it is really nice to see frame-by-frame these days, it was an interesting concept but the pacing could have used some work, it is clear that they had some ideas that they could not afford to fit in.
Brazilians leaked the TADC movie almost two weeks ahead of release. Not even in good enough quality to be worth it.
>>47689still better than having to be in a movie theater filled with screaming children
lmao retards are unironically getting mad that gooseworx doesnt care about the leak
autistic manchildren do not deserve to have good media, critical support to gooseworx and may the finale be dogshit, inshallah
>>47689Most theater releases of any movie find their way onto the Internet in short order, if Glitch/Gooseworx didn't realize this would happen that's their own hubris. Though apparently they don't care so it's fine.
the discussions on 4chin's /co/ are obnoxiously schizophrenic
>>47689>>47695i take it back i downloaded it and its in fucking portuguese with awful automatically generated subtitles
>>47700>its in fucking portugueseWho would have guessed lmao.
>>47702latam got subtitled functions too bruh i hope it gets leaked with the original voices
>>47704For the plushies, there is a company that agressively promote them to litterally everything related to video games, there was a dozen studios promoting plushies every week since the start of the year at least
>>47704Watch Interface and Punch Punch Forever
>>47704>>47706Also I'm pretty sure plushies are the main way Glitch makes money
>>47704The only other "Indie" show I liked was RWBY and even then that went to shit too (even if I still like the show).
>>47700Kek. I told you it was bad
>4chin's /co/ I only lurk there for fanart and memes, and even then only because of TADC activity being high there.
Speaking of, anyone have a link to the NEW co-booru. I lost the link and can't find t.
>>47698Gooseworx had no hand in that. I just feel bad for them. Twitter reaction to the leaks was liberals talking shit.
>>47681>>47684you know the show will be stenchy trucker ass if even the fucking rick n morty pilot had better pace and character introduction with less than 32 minutes at hand
>>47704im ngl glitch indie shows are 80% bleak as fuck, story is barebones and they follow the same boring "commit arson" type of humor but their fans SWEAR its hype because a quirkchungus character has le dark backstory
actual experimental indie animation gems are underrated asf sadly
>>47683ever so pervasive support le small businesses mentality
>>47712https://co.llection.pics/post/list >>47712>The only other "Indie" show I liked was RWBY"What? They picked RWBY over our show?!"
"Calm down, Grif. People are allowed to have opinions."
"Yeah, as long as their opinions aren't fucking garbage! That show was TERRIBLE!"
"Yeah, but, I mean…we don't really have room to talk, what with the last few seasons and all."
"That's bullshit and you know it. We gave people a great show for 15 YEARS before we ever shit the bed. RWBY was a bland action slopfest the moment it hit the internet!"
"Hey, don't talk that way about Monty's dream show!"
"Look, Simmons, I miss Monty, too, but a bad show is a bad show. Even HE didn't know where he was going with it."
"Whatever, you're just an asshole, Grif."
"I'm just saying, I know a good show when I see it."
"…"
"…"
"You seen that new Gameoverse show?"
"Oh, yeah, I thought it was neat. They got Jschlatt in it."
"Yeah, Jschlatt's pretty cool."
>>47704between the ages of 16 and 21 kiddy power-of-friendship storybook tumblr stuff like steven universe and undertale was genuinely the only thing giving me joy through most of my days. most of the time i wasn't actively watching/playing them i was interacting with the fanbase because it was a way to be in touch with that feeling without having to watch the same thing 300 times. it's all too remote for me to understand in retrospect but basically for a kind of weak-willed soul these unassuming shows become a kind of necessary panacea that ends up engulfing most of our existence. that's why they are so popular (and glitchslop and its adult fanbase is really only a continuation of that). i am not kidding or exaggerating although i am obviously mentally ill.
>>47717>slopfestGrif would never say such modern buzzword garbage!
>RWBY was a bland action slopfest the moment it hit the internet!"Take that back swine!
Seriously though, the show is very over-hated, especially given that up until that point… RvB wasn't much more than action "slop" too. I will say it has declined (severely in the case of V7 and 8).
>>47714 Thanks for the link!
>>47728>the show is very over-hatedHonestly it's not, but it is hated for the wrong reasons. The main problems with RWBY are that the characters are one-note, it's full of clichés, the dialogue is awkward and stiff, it lacks focus, and looks/sounds awful in ways that aren't excused by its budget (especially now that we have much higher quality web animation to prove it).
But certainly the problems with RWBY are NOT that the wrong ships got made canon or that it's too dark and edgy or that it's not dark and edgy enough or that people's favorite characters got "slandered" or whatever. You kinda have to feel for the creators because at this point their most devoted audience are people who care way too much about all that shit.
And seriously, if RWBY was "action slopfest" that would actually be a good thing. Anything to make those bitches stop talking. They just keep talking and talking.
i'm watching tadc and yeah it's pretty good. the animation is fantastic, the mood is immaculately constructed, and it's genuinely funny at times which is honestly rare for high-budget internet content like this.
but like murder drones, which is the only other glitch thing i've liked, it feels like it can't just focus on its actual strengths because the creators are too set on their conventional idea of what a good story looks like, but the "normal story" parts are the worst by far. the dramatic writing of the show is not good, and every scene that's just the characters talking is awful. the problem is not that it has a real plot or even these sincere themes around mental illness, it occasionally does a good job of integrating that with the humor and the visual style, it's just the execution that falters. it should either be much lighter on dialogue or at least written with more refinement than "let's sit down and talk about our feelings". it's tolerable in the first few episodes but quickly gets unbearable. it brought the show's score down considerably for me.
and like yeah i get it, it wouldn't be nearly as popular if it didn't have drama and therapyspeak, but you'd hope that "indie animation" would be able to be more adventurous than that instead of ceding to the same pressures that make mainstream animation so boring. and if glitch's focus from now on is on even blander and less original pilots like gameoververse that's probably a sign that it won't get any better than this.
Enjoyed the TADC finale. Too bad all those millions Glitch is making from it is going to fund mediocre indieslop. Truly a lightning in a bottle.
>>47756>indieslop>thingslopthe only quality entertainment is call of duty
thing can't be in the same level of what AAA mines out there produces
>>47757>going insane over modern lingoAll other Glitch shows have nothing interesting to say nor do they even at least play with interesting concepts. Literally the only thing they've got going for them is being made by the same studio behind TADC and the whole "support small bus– indie creators no matter what" mentality.
The most recent one is some bullshit about fucking video games, the whole thing is something that should've come out at least 20 years ago, not today. Finger on the fucking pulse!
>>47759>modern lingonah you're just gay for liking videoslop
what's next your going defend audioslop
>>47760>doubling down on the insanityMillennial imageboard dwellers are so fucking pathetic, lmao.
>>47761Memento mori, it's gonna happen to us too.
>>47761you're just a like eat mediaslop and not do tax maxing
>>47747>NOT that the wrong ships got made canon The only ship that got truly made canon was wrong because it not only got done like shit, but makes no thematic sense and writing it in actively damaged the writing. Take it out and a third of the issues with Volumes 6-9 disappear, that's how bad it is.
>the dialogue is awkward and stiff Not really? Some of the 'motivational' moments don't land, but most of the dialogue isn't terrible.
>looks/sounds awful in ways …You didn't watch any of the later Volumes did you? I LOATHE Volume 7 and 8 and definitely have criticisms of fight choreography and nerfing, but the animation has only improved over the years (as have sound effects) and although I have a soft-spot for Poser (and prefer the poser designs) the work with Maya has objectively improved. Most of the music is still up to par too, it's pretty difficult to live up to the impact the original OST did.
>full of clichés That doesn't mean anything; like tropes, everything has cliches, there are cliches for things that go against 'common' cliches at this point.
>characters are one-note You clearly haven't watched the majority of the show. For the first three Volumes, most of the main cast was developed and the secondary/tertiary characters like Team CFVY were one-note, but later on secondary characters (like the Ace Ops) were more fleshed out. The problem is A) how they were fleshed out And B) characters like Ren, Nora, Yang, Blake and even Weiss, being degraded, or like Oscar being pointless.
>people's favorite characters got "slandered" Well to be fair, it's often for a good reason, character assassination by the writers basically fucks over story consistency. the
>>>/anime/8783 RT thread has a lot about that regarding people like Adam basically made from an extremist revolutionary into this pathetic incel, or how Blake went from a person with a 'dark past' she wants to make up for her mistakes (and still makes new ones), to a literal nepo-baby island princess that LARPed as a Revolutionary and then got cold feet. Or Yang going from a brash brawler with a hidden bit of intelligence and protectiveness over her sister to a literal lesbian biker caricature. The only way to make her more blatant a butch-dyke would be to have her shave down one side of her head and literally eat a carpet a la Rocko's Modern Life. It's tiresome.
>They just keep talking and talking.Eh, I admit that's true for later Volumes. Blame the death of Monty for that, dude's choreography was amazing.
