God the way the arts style constantly changes from shot to shot. I can't with this slop. 🤢

Roo lookin' like Lydia from the Beetlejuice animated series xD. Also this looks like a mobile game ad.

Bruce Timm & Paul Dini really cooked when creating her. 👍

Never watched them but I have heard that they progressively get "better" as they go along. In that they take themselves less seriously.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

I thought it was a few years after. Like after the backlash with Temple of Doom & Gremlins they were the catalysts to get the PG13 rating introduced.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

Funny thing is that the og GB film was only incidentally aimed at a younger audience because of the rating system. PG-13 didn't exist back then so it either had to be a G, PG, or R. Only afterwards when it became a hit with kids that they sanitized it's image. Hence why GB2 was more kid friendly.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

Oh for sure. I watched the og as a kid with the family as well. I just think rating systems are kind of BS & we should just list the elements of the film & let the parents decide.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah that about checks. It's a terrible argument in most contexts but especially here with the Hellaverse where it takes places in Hell so it would make sense that the overton window on acceptable levels of swearing is far more skewed. But these arguments are almost always made disingenuously.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah kind of goes to show how useless the MPAA rating system really is when a movie with this scene in it has the same rating as Inside Out. XD

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

Nothing says good clean family fun like smoking & ghostf*cking xD. Guess they saw the PG rating & figured they where good to go.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 9d

IMO I could never take the "too much swearing" argument all that seriously to begin with. It makes anyone who makes that argument come across as some kind of puritanical prude that probably isn't old enough to be watching adult media in the first place.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 10d

I get it. I put a lot of money in support behind both the pilot & series before all that BS went down. I'm happy Glitch picked them up & I am still interested in seeing it but yeah I'm only rooting for the people that are not the LD heads & have no interest in financially supporting it further.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 10d

Yeah I can't imagine Season 1 of LD has gone that far into production if they can so confidently go from a predetermined 5 (11 minute) episodes to 5 (22 minute) episodes. That's double the run time. Adding another 11 minutes of story into a script originally planned at 11 min is no easy task.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 11d

I'm betting it's the latter. Lute probably views Adam as this unfallible perfect figure & considering to that Adam likely never removed his mask Lute only knows the facade that Adam put up.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 12d

Yeah after "Gravity" I'm really excited to see some Lute backstory this season. Imagine if Lute was super jealous of Vaggie because she was on track to be Adam's top girl. Imagine if Lute & Vag were friends at one point but Lute's jealousy eventually lead to Vaggie being cast out.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 14d

To be clear I mean Lackadaisy specifically. I still support Glitch broadly & will happily support Gaslight & KOG in merch sales.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 14d

Yeah. Between the pilot & the series I donated nearly $1000CA in support for Lackadaisy but all that BS with the creative heads kind of sullied the shows reputation for me IMO. I am glad that Glitch picked them up& I still plan to watch it but I am unlikely to financially support it going forward.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 17d

I ordered stuff from GLITCH & received it in about 2 weeks later. It arrived via a private carrier.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 17d

Yeah Canada is undergoing a nationwide postal strike right now with no clear end in sight unfortunately so any shipping done will have to be through private carriers.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 24d

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 25d

I guess but can't we let a legacy series end with some kind of dignity? I'd rather have 10 seasons of 10 different animated shows as opposed to 50+ seasons of one show. It's hardly comforting to know to that the TV animation industry is seemingly being propped up on life support by 4 or 5 shows.

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 27d

I mean speaking for myself as someone that knows nothing about Homestuck, it left me intrigued enough to want more & am definitely down in supporting a series. 👍

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 29d

It's possible. This has been a trend between Disney & Pixar for a while now. It kind of feels like Disney wants to disincentivize Pixar out of making original content in favor of marketable sequels. Why take a chance on something new when Toy Story 5 will likely rake in $1billion+ at the box office?

PeaceNik @peacenik909.bsky.social · 29d

Haven't seen a movie like this from Disney since the days of "Treasure Planet". Purposefully release a film against a bigger competitor film to have it fail. They're just bullying Pixar to stick to sequels as it seems like any original film from Pixar (regardless of quality) gets marketed poorly.
