This poster is a clear tribute to the original eyecatches from the anime, which is a nice little detail that makes me think the people behind this show might actually have a genuine fondness for the source material! How unusual for a Netflix adaptation.
And they’d be right to, because those panels were designed to look good as cartoons, not as live action. A good live action adaptation of One Piece would be smart enough to know what stuff to change or remove, because One Piece is an unusually cartoony series even by manga standards, and some stuff in there is just…
“First, the “youth vote” does not actually show up like everyone always hopes”
Dead End: Paranormal Park never had a chance, between its joyfully queer writing and Netflix’s total lack of promotion for the show (and their naked contempt for animation in general.) I suppose I should be grateful it even got a second season...but then I remember how amazingly they set up the never-to-be-made season…
Fun fact for anyone surprised by these renewals: The Simpsons is secretly the backbone of Disney Plus. It’s by far their most viewed program, and when new seasons drop they get more views than new seasons of big-budget originals like The Mandolorian. In terms of viewers it’s basically Disney Plus’s Stranger Things,…
“That mansion isn’t gonna haunt itself.”
It was produced by Touchstone Television and aired on ABC, both of which Disney owned at the time (and still does.) Oh, and every episode was filmed at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.
I said they didn’t care, not that they were lazy. I’ve worked my ass off at plenty of jobs that I didn’t care about, because that’s how needing to pay your rent works. Hogwarts Legacy absolutely comes off as the sort of game people make because they have bills to pay, not because they have passion for the project.
We should never judge people by their actions, only by the popularity of their wizard novels.
Watch out everybody, the enlightened centrist is talking! He’s gonna be incredibly lazy about ethics but also really pretentious about it! What if your grandma was Hitler? What if George Washington was President of TREASON? Be careful or these hot takes will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
That part where Gaston gathers everyone for his wedding and they all laugh about the fact that he hasn’t actually proposed yet. Haha, the woman’s consent is just a formality!
Thanks for putting this so well. One thing that really stands out about Gaston: his villain song. Almost every villain song is of course sung by the villain, but Gaston’s is mostly sung by OTHER PEOPLE. Gaston gets a little bit in the middle (mostly about how many eggs he eats) but for the most part, it’s the entire…
I’m starting to suspect that the AV Club isn’t aware that this film exists.
This idiot took 8 minutes to explain that stupid “Soft times create weak men” meme, which is an utterly ridiculous theory of history by itself, but is also such a shallow idea that taking that four-sentence meme and expanding it to a lecture adds absolutely nothing to it.
I think we’re not supposed to side with Elsa at this point. The song shows that she has understandable motives and very human frustrations, but she’s dealing with them in the wrong way. At this point, she’s set herself up as a bad guy and Anna is the hero on a quest to stop her. Heck, he whole reason why there are two…
Isn’t Let It Go a villain song, though? Elsa is definitely the antagonist at that point in the movie (this is before we find out Hans is the true villain) and there’s absolutely a sinister touch to how she sings “the cold never bothered me, anyway.” Isolated from its context, the song does sound like a triumphant anthe…
100 slideshows of Disney.
Doom Patrol will be remembered as one of the best live-action superhero shows ever made, if not the single finest. And the fact that it lasted so long, with next to no promotion and with its original streaming service dying, is nothing short of a minor miracle. I wish it would keep going but I’m glad it’s getting a…
I know it’s pretty standard to ignore Disney’s TV division at this point, but come on. No Darkwing Duck? No Goliath? No Eda Clawthorne? NO GRUNKLE STAN? It’s amazing how Disney TV Animation has been plugging away for 40 years now, telling some of the company’s best stories, and even diehard Disney fans seem to…
Morty: Aw geez, Rick, our spaceship’s been thrown off course, and according to these star charts, we’re about to enter the most hazardous area in the galaxy. It says right here that it’s a real zone, of, of danger. What do you say to that, Rick?
