If you were the God of Animation, what would you change?
- First and foremost, I set up a sworn affidavit to ensure that AI will never, ever, EVER be used in animation by any means. Video game cutscenes included.
- Prevent David Zaslav from ever being hired at Warner Bros and blacklisted from all entertainment businesses so the tax write-offs never happen
- Prevent Disney from ever buying Marvel and Fox, letting them be their own things without Disney yanking their chains and screwing up their projects. Marvel's What If would have a lot of stories to tell if it wasn't for Disney.
- Have Don Bluth make more movies and prevent his current ones from ever bombing, despite the cheesiness.
- No studio swapping where the animation style looks a bit weaker.
- No broadcast censorship of strong words and themes, especially in the UK. The only things I would censor are strong flashing lights, then Porygon would be used more in the Pokemon anime.
- Ensure that TTG only lasts one season like Thundercats Roar airing on school hours and never to be remembered, letting the original fan-favourite CN shows it overshadowed air freely and undisrupted.
- Make the modern cartoons run for more than 10 episodes, allowing proper developments and worldbuilding without being rushed.
- Forbid Disney/Pixar from ever making unnecessary sequels nobody asked for that were only made to rake in undeserving money, Toy Story 4 especially.
- Not have the Oscars pick favourites and include the underrated ones. And not have Disney win all the time.
- Fix the endings of some that felt inadequate and make an ending that satisfies everyone.
- Less anime being seasonal/ split in "cours" that take too long.
- Give Blue Sky lots of money enough to survive the virus and never shut down and also have Continental Drift be the last Ice Age film. People would've loved to watch "The Anubis Tapestry".
- Let the world know the wonders of Flying Bark Productions.
- Let Skydance Animation be founded by someone more well-received so people would stop hating it. I understand why everyone hates the Elisons and the Johns of Pixar.
- Make a couple of Wonder Woman cartoons, such as one set in the DCAU.
- Allow localisations of Chinese Donghua and English voice acted translations.
- NOT shaft the Avatar movie to streaming.
- Make Illumination movies have longer run times.
- No Flanderizations of characters being massive Jerkasses and remove the WORST episodes from history.
- Save the creators of some of the iconic shows from their untimely deaths and steer the production in the correct ways. I would also save some voice actors from their tragic deaths.
- Give many of the best cartoons that unfortunately ended on cliffhangers at least one more season to tie up loose ends and cap off with a proper finale. Also expand the shortened seasons with what was planned. That goes triple for The Owl House, screwing its promised third season into 3 double-length specials that left many questions unanswered.
- Give the well-loved animated films that bombed at the box office have much better advertisement (Cats Don't Dance, PPG the movie, Ruby Gillman, Transformers One).
- Revive the cancelled animated films that have great concepts, as well as the "indie" ones. The Legend of Tembo sounded promising.
- Make Netflix never cancel/remove the cartoons they made and set up limited theatre releases for some of their movies (the world would love Next Gen).
Any clue how this character is?
Not the goose, obviously.
Does anyone else hate the Hatchling system as much as I do?
They’re putting me at a massive disadvantage at the Arena where all my current opponents are overly overpowered, ESPECIALLY when the devs keep rerunning the Hat Events. That, and they demand too many apples. If it was up to me, I’d update the game to remove the Hatchling system and bring back normality.
The retired hero’s attire doesn’t fit anymore.
1 - The Incredibles (the teaser, at least).
2 - Deadbeat Adventurer.
3/4 - Nighthawk Returns.
A new thing to say about things you don’t like.
Example, David Zaslav for tarnishing Warner Bros.
This is the true adult Jon Kent to me. Nobody change my mind.
For context, this is from issue 5 from "Adventures of the Super Sons". In it, Jon and Damian meet their presumed adult selves in the House of Secrets and Mysteries with Adult Jon having a realistic "dad bod". This turns out to be due to them being captive in the Wonder Machine that creates what they desire, though Adult Jon and Adult Damian become real in the penultimate issue.
Regardless, I keep gaslighting myself to believe that this is Jon's canon future and not what Bendis did to our boy.
(Hilarious Trope) “I got this.” Proceeds to do nothing helpful.
* SpongeBob SquarePants, Survival of the Idiots - “Open sesame!”
* The Amazing World of Gumball, The Shell - After being startled by Penny’s Minotaur form, Harold gruffly tells Jackie that he’ll deal with it. He then runs away like the coward he is.
* SMG4, Revelations Movie - When confronted by Zero, Mario goes ahead to defend 4 and 3. Being Mario, the “best” he can do is chuck a rock at the eldritch abomination responsible for one of the heartbreaking moments in the series. Zero’s unimpressed expression when the rock harmlessly bounces off him is what really sells it.
What if a scene between Jess and Kilowog plays out like this?
The scene in question is about Po's self-loathing rant from Kung fu Panda. I know it won't exactly be like it word for word, but there would be some similarities. Given how Jess deals with chronic anxiety, combined with the fact that she has to lead a new Lantern Corps (according to the synopsis) and deal with deadly threats, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens.
