Seems to be Justin Roiland's personal style. You can sort of see it in his previous work including the original Doc and Mharti shorts. Also there's a decent amount of Ren & Stimpy inspiration.

😂

Jinx is heavily shimmered up. That's probably as good of an explanation as anything for why she resisted for so long.

First 3 episodes of Arcane season 2 were really good. There has been a slight jump in animation quality from season 1's already phenomenal animation and they are also trying some new things, both in terms of character arcs and things like editing. I can understand it might be hit or miss, but for me it mostly worked really well. I have minor criticisms of the pacing of episode 3 but that's about it.

For anyone who hasn't watched Season 1 in a while, I would recommend rewatching it because this really feels like Act 4 of the show and I think a rewatch really helped me appreciate these episodes more.

Eh, the MVs don't really bother me. It's like a minute or 2 at (or near) the start of each episode showing a montage of events. I think what they represent is the pacing messiness you mentioned and that's an issue, but tbh that's been one of my minor criticisms of season 1 as well so it's kind of more of the same in regards to season 2.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes

How do you think the electorate becomes this way? It's not because of some innate failure of humans. It's because of the massive alienation that has systematically occurred over the past 50+ years (and really since WW2) as a result of deliberate policies that have decimated communities, destroyed public education, massively widened the wage gap, ruined the housing market, and is wiping out the environment. Among many other things

Policies that are frequently pushed by Republicans, but sometimes supported and often not repudiated properly by Democrats.

To be entirely fair, this was originally on Max and HBO is to blame. But yeah, Netflix is making a mistake. This is the kind of show that even if it doesn't get massive views on release has a lot of staying power and long term appeal.

I know most people here will be fine with pirating and most of these shows and movies will not actually be lost. But as this thread proves, even modern shows can be lost. And there are 2 things here I find especially sad:

1. As mentioned in the article the CN website had a lot of digital games. I think most of them will be lost. This is something we've seen a lot throughout the history of web based games.

2. "I’m more frustrated at the continued removal of online spaces for kids. It leads to them going to media spaces for adults, and that never ends well." from This reddit comment.

Yeah, unfortunately this is more and more true every year. And it's been bad for a while.

One of my earliest memories is watching this movie as a kid and being absolutely enthralled by Cameron Diaz.

Oh man, please be good. I'm feeling the beginnings of some hype.

Edit: Okay so I actually read the article. Doesn't seem like Peter Jackson is actually going to be directing (at least not yet). And the first movie is about Gollum . Hype levels have plummeted. I have faith that they'll try to do their best but man I really hate how they've approached this franchise. More and more I think Christopher Tolkein was right when he talked about negative aspects about the mass commercialization of his father's work.
