I think I just want to say one last thing regarding this cartoon subject, and it's not targeted at anyone at all! Spoilered because I really don't want to make anyone upset, or drag on the subject, but I think I should be allowed to let my thoughts out one last time before I drop it.
For a few years I've been unsatisfied with the style of modern cartoons, and I think I may have been vocal about it in this thread at one point .. I don't know. I'm just a little upset that every new cartoon these days is just overly simple in style. I've heard the excuse that animation is hard so things need to be simple ... but ... how did they make them more complex only a couple of years ago?? You'd think they'd be more complex now because of new animation technology making it easier to create a cartoon? But of course it's all just a trend, isn't it? There's been trends before, like when everything looked like Danny Phantom/Power Puff Girls with the thick, sharp lines ... but I believe there was more diversity at the time, like Ed, Edd and Eddy, Foster's Home, and KND (just off the top of my head). Is there any new mainstream cartoon that doesn't look like Steven Universe? I know it's targeted at kids, but family media fails when the creators direct it solely at kids. If you want your story/show to be remembered then you need to make it appealing for the whole family. That brings me to another point. I don't like how all the new shows are humour based? I mean, I don't mind it at all, but I haven't seen a real serious cartoon in a long while. Some do have deeper storylines in the background, but most episodes don't tend to focus on them and are instead funny slice of life or something similar.
And I know that most cartoons are all aimed towards children so my opinion probably doesn't hold much merit ... but perhaps if they had good cartoons aimed towards older people then I wouldn't be complaining? All the adult cartoons are like, you know ... that ... and while I know that many people like those kind of shows, I just feel like we're lacking some good story driven mature cartoons? I mean, Samurai Jack was good, but is there anything else like that planned? Did it even go well? Is there even a market for what I'd like to see?

To me, The Flash will always be Barry Allen. Wally West will never be the Flash to me, and if he wins this whole “Flash War” comic and is the one who keeps his powers, I’ll be pissed. The 90s were a terrible time for comics, and making Wally the main Flash is a horrible decision.

Yeah. There is this whole community of people that try to sympathise with shooters and are like 'If I were there, they wouldn't have killed me and I could have helped them', even though we all know they would be killed. It's rather depressing really, but it originates from tumblr so what do you expect.

School Shooters are what criminologists call “Assasians”. They’re people who feel they’ve been rejected by society and need to get back at society. They do this via their shootings. They’re narcissist’s who believe that if they can’t be accepted into society, nobody else should be.

Typically, in an assasian personality, we see that they keep journals with elaborate plans on how to destroy those who wronged them.

Mentally Disabled is the right word, just in the way that people say/think. more like...psychopaths. Psychopathy is a disorder that effects the amygdala part of the brain. The amygdaloid deals with emotions. I believe that psychopaths have more or less gray matter than an average human being. I forget. A good read is is The Psychopath Whisperer-Dr. Kent A Kheil and The Anantomy of Motive.-John Douglas and Mark Oshlaker. These books offer good insights on psychopaths and shooters.

((Sorry about the long post, I just love criminal psychology~ <3 )

I know people including me are sick of the “CalArt Style” discussion, but this has been on my mind for a while.

Craig of the Creek’s character design is very visually uninteresting. It really looks too much like Steven Universe for my tastes. I like the show fine enough, but that aspect turns me off from watching it a lot.

The same could be said for that show too.

Granted, I think that entire show is a bit boring, anyway. I like Craig of the Creek more, so it hurts a bit more how much I dislike its character design. The backgrounds are nice, though.

but srsly if you dont like something that doesnt make it bad. rune factory, my favorite rpg series of all time, wasn't even mentioned at e3 this year, but that doesnt make the entire event terrible. :\

in truth, im actually over the moon about DMC5, even if i've never played it. that's because it shows that companies like capcom are actually listening. :V

I personally enjoy it a lot but it has such major issues with pacing and character development and having literally no serious consequences when bad stuff happens yet I never see people talk about it?? People either hate it or love it and I never see fans with the ability to both praise and criticize it for some reason.

I only ever saw the first episode, and it never really got me hooked. Just felt like another cartoon with a team of guys ... there was the leader, the anti-hero, the fat guy who loves food, the joke, and the smart/techy one. It's like, the same team dynamics in every cartoon?
Oh well. I wouldn't say it's the worst, but I really don't think it's as good as people make it out to be.

Team dynamics is a thing in every cartoon that has, well, a team, and even smaller groups of protagonists have characters that encompass multiple of these. What matters is doing it well, and though it's a bit of a shortcut, subverting those expectations about the characters.

Of course, but I just feel like these dynamics have been greatly overused.
Maybe they're not, but I know for me it's become very dry and worn out.

There's always a dark and brooding heartthrob, an adorable nerd, a comic relief who treats everything as a joke ... always a fat person whose love of food is a joke ... I think the one thing they didn't throw in is the obligatory strong independent girl teammate.
It's just, all of these characters feel as though they've come out of a mould ... you know?

I think it's fair to ask why something is well received if you personally don't like it. Like, if you don't like it then you probably can't understand why someone else would, you know? cx
Just ... don't hold it against people who do. I don't know.

But yeah, it doesn't mean that other people aren't allowed to like it. People are absolutely free to like whatever they want ( well ... to an extent, but that's a whole other can of worms cx ).
I never feel that people on this thread are telling others that they're not allowed to like something they don't though?

As someone who wants to try and do something in the film career(Writer, Director, Actor, etc) something I think is kind of bringing the industry down, is when films try to recapture the magic of the originals, that doesn't make good movies. Movies like the Lost World and The Phantom Menace aren't as good because that's what they tried to do.

What sequels or continuations of films should be trying to do, is take that magic from the original, and make new magic out of it(If that makes sense) It's why The Empire Strikes Back, or Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom are movies that work so well. They took what the original had, and made something new with it.

^^^ THIS.
My friends and I talk about this all the time. We believe there is no such thing as "talent", because as you said, no one can just be born good at something. Of course, some people will take to certain hobbies more naturally, but that doesn't mean they're "talented", they're just naturally drawn to it and will therefor take the time to build up those skills. It takes years of practice to be good at something and you can't just suddenly become good at this particular thing overnight. And I hate the term "talent" because it implies that the person cheated of sorts, that they're just good at it and that's it. No hard work necessary, they were just born that way. But this can't be further from the truth! If we call it "skilled" then that brings along the correct implications that these people worked hard to be where they're at today!
But this shouldn't be discouraging to newcomers either, in fact it should be inspiring because it gives them the conformation that literally anyone can be good at something if they put the effort into it! We are not merely separated into "talentless" and "talented".

Sorry if this got a little long, but I hate the word "talent", and I know a lot of my artist friends do as well.

^ i actually disagree with this to a certain extent. i do believe natural talent is a thing, but i do not feel it is the only factor to determine success, and someone with dedication and effort will ALWAYS trump someone with natural talent.
as many people know i am a musician. i am nowhere near the best in any way compared to the people around me. there are always better players, singers, actors, performers, etc. however far too often i see someone that is riding this natural talent and not working as hard because they don’t think they need to. but i work myself to death trying to reach the top, and i do feel it puts me in a much better position than people that were born more skilled than i was.

So 1 opinion is what shatters a friendship for ya? I mean granted I wouldn't hang around a person that promoted some really bad **** regardless on which political end. But if you're saying "I don't understand [political thought] or [casual thought]" and only taking that as the person being a bigot without them explaining why they don't understand, I think there might be more of an issue with you imo.

Wanting more POC and LGBT representation in fiction should not be a controversial opinion, and people who complain about "pandering" are the precise reason why it needs to happen.

Frankly, I think "pandering" in this context is usually a euphemism for "I'm uncomfortable seeing people who don't look/act/live like me being portrayed as powerful, heroic, and formidable as the people who do."


EDIT: Also, I think people who become podiatrists and proctologists only do so because they flunked out of real med school.

I don't believe mentally ill people make false accusations of sexual violence, because there isn't any evidence. There is evidence that they are more likely to be victims of sexual violence, however.



Quite a few studies have been made on this, and it's pretty sad to see that mentally ill people (especially mentally ill children) are more likely to be victims of sexual violence compared to their peers. And of course, other forms of violence.

Shalone started a lot of trends that I can't say I approve of, even if her style consistency and motivation to make tons of comics is amazing. But I think the Cynder and Ember cliche comes from way before her, because of the stupid shipping wars.

Also, it's dA. I'm seriously convinced it creates a time bubble to 2008 in some LoS fans, because they sometimes draw in the same style of the comics from that time and bring back the same tired old settings. Oh no, Ember is secretly bad, oh no, Cynder has angst, oh no, Spyro and Cynder just love each other sooo much they're having children right away; oh no, OC character is Malefor's newest minion.
