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.

twitter issz bad.
>>45005>well, okay, what are these concerns and what exactly makes them validReplacing white characters with black characters for no apparent reason other than pandering because it always feels like executive meddling and nothing good comes out of executive meddling (I do think we didn't get queer couples on TV before because of that very executive meddling). Although to be perfectly honest, in the case of Fairly OddParents, replacing Timmy with
LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE would upset the fanbase anyway. Again, the show's probably good. It's lucky to have great writers then, it could've been a cash grab.
And I truly think A.C.T. Air didn't bother to watch the show at all, wanting to make a quick sensational video because that'll give him more views.
>>45129>We used to just call it "tokenism" because they would put a character in the thing just to say they did but not actually represent what it's like to be a person like that or usually even give them much of a character.I mean, that's fair. I was just saying that I get why conservatives make these conspiracy theories about a new Hollywood-produced work featuring a minority in a lead role being "woke," I do not think their concerns are always justified however. Besides, you can still enjoy a show if it's good unless it's an actual pandering or race swapping.
Some rightoids cannot be excused however like that racist Synthetic Man and that homophobe Andypants Gaming.
>>45157It's a coming of age comic with superhero dressing. Mark reconciling with his dad is symbolic of them overcoming their generational conflict, namely mark rejecting the cultural expectation to follow in his father's footsteps and Omniman's own coming to terms with his changing role as a father.
>>45154Let's be real, Cyril works for the US government. Omniman could use Mark to kill everyone currently occupying a train on the planet and would still have to spend years catching up in terms of evil deeds.
But really Mark not just killing him in a fit of pique is supposed to reflect well on him. You've got a teenager in power fantasy land that's literally unstoppable and he's actually showing restraint, especially after this guy used his other dimensional bodies to make remote controlled zombie warcrime machines and made unsubtly veiled threats regarding his mom and brother. He's lucky he just got choked a little and Mark didn't just remove all his bones one by one with his bare hands.
What's the deal with Castlevania? It seems like it's supposed to be set in a world like ours, but then you've got Dracula, demons, vampire aristocrats, magic mirrors that can transport people thousands of miles instantly, remote viewing mirrors that can show you whatever you want to see, and magic is actually real and something that can be studied and learned.
Like, I dunno, it seems like any one of these things would have major repercussions on how the world works and the advancement of history. I mean, Hell is real apparently and people can learn to just pluck demons out of it and put them into bodies, which they can then control. You've got one guy that's just born with the ability to raise animals back from the dead.
I'm only in season 3 of the first series now and it's a lot of fun, and I'm trying to just turn my brain off and not worry about it, but it keeps nagging at me. Apparently in the next season there's the French revolution and the US apparently exists, which is also pretty nuts. Like what are the implications for the enlightenment when you live in a world with magic and demons and you know that Hell in fact is real? I remember reading in school how in response to European colonialism, several African tribes slaughtered all their livestock to try and raise an undead army to fight them off, only to subsequently starve to death. Okay, but this is a world where something like that should work. How are redcoats going to fight an army of African zombies? Are the British employing wizards of their own? Are they blessing their musket balls before combat? Is Ben Franklin an immortal sorcerer using his arcane sex magic for the cause of liberty? What the hell is going on.
>>45573I agree.
t. uses "fucking" as "um" anon
>>45573there are things you can critique about the show but the whole swearing thing was made up in bad faith by twitter users copying each other opinion or haven't watch any 90's to 2000's show/movies, just to bitch about something, acting like puritan wannabes as if it's changes anything.

>>42752>I legitimately hate Invincible. It's such rubbish. There's no consistent world building, and no themes other than exciting alien superhero vs CIA and good guys!!! I hate superheroes.I'm really trying to get into invincible but the dialogue is absolute fucking garbage. The story writing so far has been incredibly plain and boring. The animation is extremely boring and looks cheap as fuck.
Why is this show so popular again? Reminds me of neo yokio….
>>45616But at least shonen has better dialogue and animation, idk. It's all one liners and awkward 2D characters and plain boring conversations. None of them even have particularly interesting personalities if any. In fact, most of the characters have the exact same personality.
I guess the story is a bit interesting but everything else feels muted and poorly done. And it's not that western cartoons can't pull this off… It feels like the budget was insanely small, at least compared to its seemingly big popularity.
>>45619I don't speak Japanese, and I do expect the japanese dialogue to be garbage in most animes. Even the subs and dubs are frequently garbage too.
An example of what I mean in Invincible. Episode season 1 episode 5. Some dude goes to a mafia boss to finish paying his debt. The Mafia boss says he's too valuable to let him simply leave. The dude gets enraged and breaks the boss's desk. The tone is serious and the dude looks distressed.
Then a ridiculous exchange happens. First of all, the boss isn't intimidated. Then he starts mockingly screaming "yeah, see! See! Impressive shit like that is exactly why I'm never letting you go!" right in the dude with superpowers face. It doesn't make sense, he's being blackmailed into serving this mafia boss just for being strong? It's idiotic. It's not blackmail. Nothing keeps him from serving this random ass boss. Besides, can't the strong dude just kill the boss?
Then the tone changes completely into a comic one-liner tone, the boss says "plus, now you gotta pay for the desk, too 😜. This is imported Italian maple! 😜". It's not funny. It breaks the supposed seriousness of the scene. It's a super dumb one liner. And the series is filled with this type of unfunny shitty wink wink "jokes".
