Calm it down there. I was acknowledging their stylistic choice for stripped down, cheap animation, which is relatively inexpensive to make. I -meant- to be dismissive of it for completely different reasons.

Honest to goodness, I was going off topic of this movie completely. I have no gripes with the character designs of this. More of a general question.
Side question: why do so many western creators go for such grotesque caricatures of humans when they DO stylize their animation? I'm not saying everything should be all anime and moe, but give me some variety that isn't intentionally off putting.
I also saw the trailer for this before "Your Name." I get the Adult Swim, "it looks terrible and cheap on purpose but also because it is cheap" thing, but otherwise it just came off as one of those indie comedies that tries too hard to be cute.
I legitimately thought the series ended with "Damn Bundys," where Al sells his soul and it ends with him in hell with the family and neighbors.
WHAT?! Come the fuck on!
The true problem with Competitive can’t be patched out. Which is that playing solo is an act of self hatred.
Winston is good at chasing Genji, as long as the rest of his group isn’t around to wreck your feather-dusting shit. Junkrat is also good if you’re any good at the ol’ mine toss and blow up mid-air trick. I’ve had a few good laughs when I stopped a rampaging/ulting Genji with no effort because my mine hit him right in…
I Am Setsuna is a little disappointing in a similar, “this isn’t very fleshed out” kind of way. Yes, it uses the Chrono Trigger ATB system 2.0, but the environments are bland and repetitive, there’s little to no flair to anything, and none of the characters stand out in any way. So they got the technical parts of the…
I’m waiting for the day they decide to nerf Torb. I’ve been wrecking entire teams’ shit with him, picking them off from Widowmaker range with primary fire and using the arc of those shots to hit enemies I can’t even see.
You didn’t deny the questions! Proof! And uhhh, I like to imagine life as a sitcom. It gets me through the day.
Do you guys have one of those weird, Alley McBeal type situations going on where there’s a unisex bathroom and everyone has entire conversations with each other from either side of the stall? Also, is it like one of those sexy workplace shows where everyone has slept with each other?
Oh yeah. Uhhh actually, in retrospect, I should have known something was up when I saw either Sebastian Stan or his stunt double with a green sleeve on his left arm. They had what looked liked everyone except Iron Man on set.
As someone with direct inside access to the big D, I can tell you that A) they're very strict with their NDAs and B) it was probably an employee only test screening. There were screenings of Civil War internally a couple months beforehand that were invite only, even within the company. On the plus side, my manager ran…
Netflix has the reputation of being impossible to get a meeting with. I'm shopping it around to Disney and FoD, but it takes a while and lots of nagging to get responses back. I need an agent, goddammit!
I think they've had pretty good luck with that and Amy Schumer's show, which does make me wonder how those got through. Probably a cycle of them taking risks, getting burned and trying to now play it safe. But whatcha gonna do? He was nice enough to explain why it wasn't for them, and I told him I'd shoot him any…
A hard-boiled police procedural with 12 year old girls in the lead. The elevator pitch was "Like Hot Fuzz with 12 year old girls." The development guy I was working with liked the pitch and art I sent over, but gave the reasons above for why it wouldn't work for CC right now. They really just haven't had good luck…
I actually just pitched an animation idea to them, and the response I got was that A) their demo is 18-34 males and B) their most successful shows, animated or not, are "more grounded" and low concept. I took that to mean "stoner comedies are really working for us right now."
Y'know, the guy I talked to mentioned that it was an expensive style to animate, and reminded me that their most successful shows are A) based on shitty animation or B) stoner comedies.
