I actually liked how Nebula's cyborg powers were depicted in the film, she gets pumelled and her neck was literally snapped at one point but she can just pop it all back in place and bend her limbs to shoot more guys

I talked about all the Guardians levelling up but I feel someone has been noticeably upgrading Gamora and Nebula's threat level across movies. From what she showed in the first movie, I wouldn't have believed she could survive the shit she did in the second-from turbocharging the ship to surviving a fucking spaceship crash.

So I'm glad they're acknowledging it in 3 by straight up having Rocket turn her into Blue Iron Woman

For what it's worth, I think his actor did the best with what he was given. He just wasn't given a lot. And speaking of arcs that didn't happen I felt Quill needed one good conversation with Gamora after she sees his photo and gives it back to him. Instead they just go from hating each other for literally the whole movie to being smiley and friendly at the end despite having said nothing to earn it

The way the movie treats Quill in general is weird, and I think I kind of get it. I'm sure there's a lot of ragebaiting youtubers who will do the usual "white man bad yass kween good" spiel about how at the start Quill is a useless drunk who's still trying to hit on women/futilely rekindle his relationship with Gamora and Gamora and Nebula are the de facto team leaders who literally grunt at each other to assert dominance, but I do like how at the end Mantis' empath powers and Drax's dad powers are more useful than anything Nebula could bring to the table. And while he never gets as much of a direct take-that moment, suddenly at the end of the movie with Rocket as his MOTIVATION Quill just fucking bulldozes every goddamn thing the HE can throw at him like the space commando he is

The Guardians are legitimately levelling up like videogame characters, they're noticeably more competent than they were in their debut when given a good reason to fight.

Flat out, they just don't hire the right people, and I'm not even saying these artists are bad. Even the best animators and designers of the current era may not necessarily have the right skillset to do oldschool drawing and animation. The job description and priorities are different.
We also need to acknowledge that our mental image of the original show is largely informed by the work of one particular studio, from one particular country, and it's generally hard to capture all of nuances of how they draw. Much of the show not done by the top studios were far worse than anything we saw in nuManiacs. The animation studio is most directly responsible for what we see on screen, all of the work done at WB gets filtered through them, and they've largely never done this style of drawing and animation either.

[Assistant]
>>137026818
There aren't many good arguments against more money, but I will say this. The cumulative inflation from the 1990s to today is about 50%. But TV cartoon budgets have grown somewhere between 400% to 800%. Budgets in entertainment have far outpaced the rest of the country. Granted, not all of that growth was spread across all aspects of production. As for why that is, the current troubles we're seeing with writers should be instructive.
What I'm saying is, if one sees this problem solely as budget rather than budget allocation, we'd have to increase the budgets by several factors so as to make animation completely unfeasible.

The original Animanics had far more SOVL than nu-Animanics. I haven't seen nu-Animanics, but I have the seen the clips. Yeah it's clean animation & appealing to the eyes, but something's off about it. Also Katie Rice learned from John K so that may or may not be a contributing factor to the lack-lustered animation.

I actually thought that the art and animation for the Animaniacs reboot were all fine and it's just that the scripts were so incredibly godawful they were too painful to sit through. The writing killed it. I will say that the sort of intentionally grotesquely ugly human designs seemed like a weird choice for this show since it wasn't like the original Animaniacs. For an original project it would be an interesting though probably love or hate choice but odd that the aesthetic was so completely different and then they were stuck needing to try to make the old characters still kind of in the style of the original though it clashed horribly.

Everything about this reboot screamed "this should have been a brand new all new project with all new characters" it felt like the old characters and the whole "Animaniacs" angle was forced to be included at gunpoint. It's no wonder the writers hated the original characters so much they horribly killed them all off. What a truly bizarre experience.

Not sure if that can be chalked up more to a lack of care or a lack of budget.

There aren't many good arguments against more money, but I will say this. The cumulative inflation from the 1990s to today is about 50%. But TV cartoon budgets have grown somewhere between 400% to 800%. Budgets in entertainment have far outpaced the rest of the country. Granted, not all of that growth was spread across all aspects of production. As for why that is, the current troubles we're seeing with writers should be instructive.
What I'm saying is, if one sees this problem solely as budget rather than budget allocation, we'd have to increase the budgets by several factors so as to make animation completely unfeasible.

I'd guess the latter.
Believe it or not, artists actually care about all of the details that people complain about and more. They dedicate their lives to geeking out over shit like this. But animating with shading and varied line weights takes more time which means more money. It's a job. You do what the boss tells you.

Despite the shit that people like to give artists here, I think the much bigger problem is execs who lack any sort of vision or passion. Yes, they were always money people, but it seems like there was more of an agenda to actually create something aside from wealth 30 years ago. Then again it's easy to look back with rose colored glasses and it's possible 30 years from now people will think the same thing.

And allow me to elaborate on the problems with pitching shows:

- In order to pitch shows you both need to have gotten yourself into a good position within your studio and also have the time to produce a pitch document to present. This limits pitching to people who have already gotten themselves into cushy positions within the studio pipeline and who are also detached enough to ignore their work when possible and instead spend time putting together this pitch document of theirs.

- These people tend to be softheaded, shiftless and much too invested into the media they consumed growing up. They don't have ideas, not real ideas. Their idea for a cartoon will invariably be a bunch of adventure time-looking designs but also the show is supposed to have a bunch of Dragon Ball and Sonic the Hedgehog influence. Nothing is nailed down about the idea, not once did they ever consider "how would someone relate to this? what is the show trying to say? how can I sum up the show's premise in one sentence? what does a typical episode involve?", nothing like that. It's just here's a couple of basic firstdraft character designs existing in the most vaguely defined environment you can image, and one of the characters has Goku's magic staff and his catchphrase is saying "Strange, isn't it?". Thankfully very few of these actually make it past the pilot stage, but a few do and end up wasting a lot of people's valuable time. (Pic related)

- Even if you are somebody who does have a good show concept, you'll suffer an even worse fate. They'll look at your pitch, they'll tell you it has potential but ask for changes. And you'll find these changes seem to make it more and more like one of those show ideas I previously described. You'll get a second pitch meeting, and the same thing will happen again. You revise your pitch, it's getting further and further away from the original concept and it's starting to not make sense. And eventually.. you just get rejected too.

It's difficult to give source-able examples, because budgets for modern cartoons are rarely made public officially. Anecdotally, most current shows for kids at one of the big networks is 1~1.5 million. Inside Job was rumored to have gone $5 million over budget for the original order of 20 episodes. You'll have to make a reasonable guess as to what percentage Netflix is willing to let a show go over its original budget. 15%? 20%? That would work out to be about $1.4M per episode at the end, because only 18 were produced.
The lower end shows we import from France or Canada can go as low as $300K per episode, but they're also heavily subsidized by their government, so it's hard to get an accurate number.
We usually only hear about the crazy expensive shows. Green Eggs and Ham is rumored to be $5-6 million per episode.
https://www.mtv.com/news/zea4a5/green-eggs-ham-budget
The Simpsons costs 5 million per, but we know where most of that money is going, and it's not the animation.
https://www.thethings.com/the-simpsons-cost-season-110-million/
The original Tiny Toon Adventures had a budget of $25 million for a 65-episode first season, for $385K per episode. That's really good, in fact I believe it was the most expensive animated show of its time, and was double the average.
https://twitter.com/cartoonbrew/status/1305657543289643009
I'm not here to rip on animators or writers or say anyone should be paid less. But, the idea that shows as a whole are doing more for less is wrong, and the idea that the networks funding these shows are paying less is wrong. They're paying way more.

This board assumes artists and directors have power and control over the shows they are on. We don't unless we luck out and have a showrunner who puts art first and is willing to push against executives. Artists have little to no power on studio shows. Every executive has a say and most give notes for the sake of justifying their jobs.

I am also curious to know this but I assumed that the reason that Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pinky, and Brain did not act like themselves in the reboot is because the writers didn't like any of the characters and wanted to change them into new characters. Or maybe they just didn't like the original shows' writers. We know they did not like the cast they cut. I assume that what the writers and producers really wanted to do was make their own all new characters and only write about them but just weren't allowed to.

As a hobbyist cartoonist myself, I'd like to think they are aware of it but have to deal with it because they don't have the budget or more importantly the time to do better.

To start off we wanted Hello Nurse back. It was a frequent talking point during lunch. That was an executive decision. A lot of the things you hate came from Amblin and Hulu. They fucked around with the show constantly. The writers weren't interested in the characters as much as they were interested in shoehorning in their ideas. I listened to the directors and board artist complain about their struggles trying to make the Warners act like the Marxs brothers. They were told not to. When I came on a chunk of the staff already quit and I was a rehire. The artists did their best.

As for the thick to thin line comment, we were told it wouldn't look good digitally and that thin lines are easier for over seas studios.

I am also curious to know this but I assumed that the reason that Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pinky, and Brain did not act like themselves in the reboot is because the writers didn't like any of the characters and wanted to change them into new characters. Or maybe they just didn't like the original shows' writers. We know they did not like the cast they cut. I assume that what the writers and producers really wanted to do was make their own all new characters and only write about them but just weren't allowed to.

Recognizability isn't the only reason all these new shows with old characters keep happening, its because all the people who get themselves into the position to pitch shows have the absolute worst ideas you'll ever come across and you'll end up working on their proof of concept short that'll get surefire rejected.

And allow me to elaborate on the problems with pitching shows:

- In order to pitch shows you both need to have gotten yourself into a good position within your studio and also have the time to produce a pitch document to present. This limits pitching to people who have already gotten themselves into cushy positions within the studio pipeline and who are also detached enough to ignore their work when possible and instead spend time putting together this pitch document of theirs.

- These people tend to be softheaded, shiftless and much too invested into the media they consumed growing up. They don't have ideas, not real ideas. Their idea for a cartoon will invariably be a bunch of adventure time-looking designs but also the show is supposed to have a bunch of Dragon Ball and Sonic the Hedgehog influence. Nothing is nailed down about the idea, not once did they ever consider "how would someone relate to this? what is the show trying to say? how can I sum up the show's premise in one sentence? what does a typical episode involve?", nothing like that. It's just here's a couple of basic firstdraft character designs existing in the most vaguely defined environment you can image, and one of the characters has Goku's magic staff and his catchphrase is saying "Strange, isn't it?". Thankfully very few of these actually make it past the pilot stage, but a few do and end up wasting a lot of people's valuable time. (Pic related)

- Even if you are somebody who does have a good show concept, you'll suffer an even worse fate. They'll look at your pitch, they'll tell you it has potential but ask for changes. And you'll find these changes seem to make it more and more like one of those show ideas I previously described. You'll get a second pitch meeting, and the same thing will happen again. You revise your pitch, it's getting further and further away from the original concept and it's starting to not make sense. And eventually.. you just get rejected too.

It's difficult to give source-able examples, because budgets for modern cartoons are rarely made public officially. Anecdotally, most current shows for kids at one of the big networks is 1~1.5 million. Inside Job was rumored to have gone $5 million over budget for the original order of 20 episodes. You'll have to make a reasonable guess as to what percentage Netflix is willing to let a show go over its original budget. 15%? 20%? That would work out to be about $1.4M per episode at the end, because only 18 were produced.
The lower end shows we import from France or Canada can go as low as $300K per episode, but they're also heavily subsidized by their government, so it's hard to get an accurate number.
We usually only hear about the crazy expensive shows. Green Eggs and Ham is rumored to be $5-6 million per episode.
https://www.mtv.com/news/zea4a5/green-eggs-ham-budget
The Simpsons costs 5 million per, but we know where most of that money is going, and it's not the animation.
https://www.thethings.com/the-simpsons-cost-season-110-million/
The original Tiny Toon Adventures had a budget of $25 million for a 65-episode first season, for $385K per episode. That's really good, in fact I believe it was the most expensive animated show of its time, and was double the average.
https://twitter.com/cartoonbrew/status/1305657543289643009
I'm not here to rip on animators or writers or say anyone should be paid less. But, the idea that shows as a whole are doing more for less is wrong, and the idea that the networks funding these shows are paying less is wrong. They're paying way more.

The people with all the power have had four generations of Hollywood and the "best" you'll get is they went to the right private high schools in California and are in the right cliques at the right time. Otherwise they're braindead rich entrenched aristocracy who never had to develop any skills, a work eth8c, ideas, anything. Meanwhile the peasants who do all of the actual work work their goddman asses off fighting for scraps in an insanely competitive environment but at the end of the day, what they produce is failed bullshit that doesn't even make money, and do you know why? Because by design the people making all of the core decisions are utterly worthless and all the skilled people have to pay for their failures while they "succeed" personally no matter how badly they fail in reality, get promoted, and fuck up bigger and bigger things.

Genevieve Tsai's art is very good. Too bad the actual show sucked the life out of these designs.

you could really tell someone thought of that mouse girl character but then had no idea what the fuck to even do with her and just flailed helplessly around without a real storyline until the show finally mercifully died it was so sad

[Assistant] Animaniacs originally was supposed to have thick to thin lines but the top brass decided thin was easier and cheaper. All the things this board complained about the artists bumped back on. Even on how the Warners we're written. The production was a shit show. The character designs were originally closer to the original but Gabe Swarr made us change them.

[Assistant] Do you think John K would like this version of Animaniacs? A lot of Spumco animators worked on it.

>I refuse to understand you're justified criticism of this show! I like it solely to spite you and will suck the shit of the creators because I am desperate to think I actually made someone mad on the internet and had an effect on SOMETHING in my life
We all know this person. We all know he subsists entirely on (You)s.
Don't give him any.
Starve this faggot out for being a faggot, green text him to hell and back, or @ him to really show you're contempt. Just don't give him any real acknowledgement, because that's what his attention whoring ass wants.

If the Powers that Be hated all the characters and so would only let the 5 characters they brought back be in the show if they were written so Out Of Character and unlike the 1990s shows and 1990s characters that they were brand new characters

Why didn't the Powers That Be just make a brand new show with all new characters instead?

This whole reboot felt so OFF

[Assistant] Man. I was hoping for at least a Freakazoid cameo with a door open for him to return, and not by way of Teen Titans GO. but after hearing about this trainwreck of the Animaniacs revival I'm somewhat appreciative that TTG actually respectfully allowed Freakazoid to return briefly the way he did.
