anime is globally booming and infact so big it spawned girls using mostly sexy vtuber skins that attract millions of viewers and the most successful gachas are mostly (goonerbait) waifu acquisition sims

#

meanwhile american comics are dying af

edgy stone
#

Comics are not what make money nowadays
Movies and animations based on old comics are

#

MfuckingCU hanaSusSips

vital vigil
#

sure but apart from the main avangers cast most shit is kinda failing

#

and everyone in the main cast is insanely good looking and mostly male

edgy stone
#

No creativity and no risks
Big corpos will invest in tried method hoping it'll be next big thing
Unique ideas are risky, costly, may not be liked by focus groups
Everything must be safe and secure, ignore the fact that more and more movies tend to show full scenes of sex just without intimate parts because it'd be porn at this point, but it's not like it used to be where it was implied that characters spend night together
Plot must be fast-pacing and obvious or people will lose interest in movie
There must be jokes, of course there must be corny jokes, AmeRIcA's AsS huehuehue
Entertainment is becoming safe and boring, everyone consumes the same slop, be it movies, be it comics, be it boring music with no soul, be it cookie-cutter anime, fucking Jujutsu Kaisen, I want to puke everytime praises it as the best they ever saw
Lower attention spans and overstimulation because of TikTok and Co., hell, even Netflix said they'll be making movies with plot being explained by narrator, so people can watch movies and do something else in background fo god's sake
Anyway, what I was saying hanaconfuse

vital vigil
#

everything needs to be for everyone which ends up being for noone

edgy stone
#

God forbid gatekeeping someone or making a niche product mymelody_scared

vital vigil
#

you can be talking about how shit "should" be and keep tryna use ugly actors, shitty stories, characters where they dont belong and having your weird checklist of kind of people you need in it but thats not what people wanna watch and how they perceive the world

#

make a good story and compelling characters and people dont give a shit how they look and "what" they are

#

much of todays crap is so obviously self insert by unexperienced writers

edgy stone
#

Writers suck nowadays, especially Hollywood standards

Hey, let's add LGBTQ character
Inserts the most in-your-face stereotypical token character possible

vital vigil
#

ye.. its not a modern character if it doesnt victimize it self or is a caricature of its group

#

instead of being characters that belong to that world they feel like they were placed there to be a means to an end (specific race/sexuality) and it breaks the immersion

#

almost noone gave a shit about the insane diversity of cp77

#

because they added characters that belong to that world

#

judy didnt mention that she was lesbian and proud of it, panam didnt make her character about being a strong woman. they were just being characters in their world that had these traits

#

and people love em

edgy stone
#

I remember butthurt on reddit when people discovered that you can't romance as a man with Judy KEKW

vital vigil
#

theyre not sexualized at all either. theyre just conventionally attractive

vital vigil
#

looking through my mal list for shows with female leads. theres a couple insane bangers on it. but theres idd not many of the ones i watched at least

#

feel like anime also often has like a main duo of a guy and a girl

#

like dandadan and mirai nikki

edgy stone
#

Mirai Nikki was my first ever anime hanaSit

vital vigil
#

was one of my early ones as well when i started to get into anime as a medium

#

not counting dbz and all the other shows on tv

#

i rewatched it recently and its kinda funny how sensibilities have changed over the years

#

i thought that one specific character was insanely more unhinged than i thought back then kekw

edgy stone
#

I didn't count DB as anime, as I didn't knew what anime was at the time hanaSit

errant flower
#

yeah I feel like a lot of people ahve that with pokémon etc. too

#

but hey at least if wasnt Elfen Lied

edgy stone
#

Em... um... SilvervalePeepoShy

errant flower
#

you just said mirai nikki was the first

edgy stone
#

Yeah hana_Yes
But Elfen Lied wasn't too much later hanaSusSips

errant flower
#

depends on how old you were I guess

edgy stone
#

Middle school, so I guess 14 or 15 hanaconfuse

errant flower
#

thats ok

#

Ive heard people say its their first anime when they were like 8

edgy stone
#

I was watching DB in German when I was little bobo hanaAYAYA

vital vigil
#

the german censorship on the og db was hilarious ngl

edgy stone
#

Mirai Nikki and anime as a whole I started watching at 14 hana_Yes

vital vigil
#

they took out all the pervy stuff of db and completely changed what characters said

edgy stone
#

I didn't understood a thing anyway KEKW

vital vigil
#

remember when that pig character wished for panties? in the german version he wished for a hat with holes for his ears kekw

#

i wonder if theyd still do that today

pure canyon
#

my first 5 animes were

  • elfenlied
  • hellsing ultimate
  • black lagoon
  • mirai nikki
  • shiki
vital vigil
#

started with elven lied lol

errant flower
vital vigil
#

ye ive seen a couple of those kekw

#

im unsure but i think my first animethat wasnt random tv stuff was death note

#

followed by a couple other super bangers

#

steins gate, mirai nikki, tokyo ghoul before it went to utter sh.. badness

errant flower
#

I found out later when I got into anime that years before that I rented the live version of the Death Note movie cause I thought the premise was cool. And when I started to watch the anime I was like 'wait a minute' smile

vital vigil
#

was that one of the older japanese live action versions?

errant flower
#

early 2000s I think

vital vigil
#

seems closer to the source material than what ever the netflix adaptation was supposed to be

errant flower
#

I mean thats not that hard to do. the netflix version is a comedy

vital vigil
halcyon nimbus

PICK UP A PEN GEORGE

pure canyon
#

i dont think he's gonna make it

#

same with doors of stone by patrick rothfuss

vital vigil
#

idk much about him but kinda seems like hes been having a huge writers block or smth

pure canyon
#

yeah

#

i dont think the mess of the GoT show helped this

vital vigil
#

for sure

pure canyon
#

tbh, the whole GoT show departed from what was available book wise around season 5

halcyon nimbus
#

he weaved a web, but doesnt know how to finish it anymore

vital vigil
#

i never read the books and the show died right as they had adapted the books

pure canyon
#

i think even in season 4 already

#

i read the books when i was in hospital for a while. that was... 2012 i think

#

yeah it was my 2012 hospital stay with the double surgery within a week.

vital vigil
#

absolute amateur writing right after the books.. idk how its possible to destroy the probably most popular show ever

pure canyon
#

season 1 and even 2 are pretty much what the books were

vital vigil
#

the hype around the show was insane and nowadays NOONE talks about em anymore because you cant even recommend it to people

pure canyon
#

season 3 started deviating and omitting things that clearly werent finished anyway. stuff they then tried to shoehorn in in later seasons tho

#

season 4 was still going strong but yeah

#

what followed was... what we have today.

pure canyon
# vital vigil absolute amateur writing right after the books.. idk how its possible to destroy...

they actually admitted that the showrunners (who are now shunned in most movie and tv maker circles) started to feel the show wasnt as important anymore and "wanted to get done with it" because they had received invitations for some star wars stuff (which they actually got cancelled out of after the dumpster fire they presented with the last seasons if i recall correctly) and they really wanted to go work on star wars as a "more prestigious project"

vital vigil
#

its so funny that even the smallest crap was already a giveaway that they werent able to follow books anymore. the scene with jamie and his long haired friend where he ||gets saved last second by being pushed off the horse into the water as the dragon was breathing fire||
peak holliwood bs and not how mr george writes

pure canyon
#

yeah.

vital vigil
#

and they refused

pure canyon
#

yep

#

they refused

#

hbo wanted to give them 2 more seasons

#

what kind of showrunner goes "nah fam" with a story and world as extensive as westeros?

vital vigil
#

ngl i think if they had finished it in a non idiotic manner that show would probably be no 1 on imdb n stuff

pure canyon
#

especially after what the slop they served as the final season...

#

they just proved with that single final season how bad they were if left too much to their own devices.

vital vigil
#

instead of being sought after because of making a huge show

#

now people would rather not work wiht them

#

karma is a bitch aint it

pure canyon
#

their last season was their downfall. which really is actually satisfying to see to me

#

also i think george rr martin wasnt part of the last two seasons either

vital vigil
#

the whole pacing changed at s5 or what ever it was. noone of importance died anymore. at the end they killed a B character that noone cared about and they gave one of the characters a 10 minute "going crazy" arc out of nowhere

pure canyon
pure canyon
vital vigil
#

he prolly signed smth so they were able to put this out but if i were george id be mad af

pure canyon
#

i'm pretty sure he is

#

he did write down a lot of stuff and rough points and handed it to them, in case something happened

#

so this might be a caricature of what martin was considering for the books

#

so i guess his writers block is a mixture of being appalled of how the showrunners butchered his core ideas, as well as the general feedback and outrage of the fans.

vital vigil
#

from the show*

#

i didnt read the books

pure canyon
#

honestly, if done right with way more time passing, it might work. but i actually think that ending itself was their own creation.

because for that ending they omitted like a third of other loose ends in the books and characters that definitly also played part of the game of thrones eventually

#

they omitted nearly everything dorne, and even a whole other ||targaryen||

#

also all the stuff in the north and the walkers?

#

more stuff that got dropped by the side by the showrunners

vital vigil
pure canyon
#

yep.

#

or the whole thing with the children of the forest or what they were called

#

just plain abandoned.

vital vigil
#

huge last ep spoiler for got || ngl i was waiting for bran to stand up and reveal he was always able to run the whole time||

pure canyon
#

they seemed to play it up so much with bram going north beyond the wall and suddenly "poof" and he was back in the south, even in kings landing...

sage thunder
#

TIL

vital vigil
#

GoT destroying their own IP before it became cool. theyre trendsetters

#

kinda true depending on what kinda story you wanna tell

pure canyon
#

such a shame tbh...

vital vigil
#

idk rothfuss but i think once you write these epic sagas that are so insanely beloved by everyone you probably start to secondguess anything that comes to mind because in your mind you have to satisfy these insane expectations by millions of people

pure canyon
#

i will say, one of my favorite series, The Dwarves by Markus Heitz seem to have had a similiar issue in between, but he recently resumed writing more for them and i actually enjoy the newer ones again. that said i forgot to resume reading

#

definitly.

#

especially if you start writing a big world and story

vital vigil
#

in a world without got and all the success he may have finished already

pure canyon
#

and suddenly you have millions of fans looking at your work, giving you constant ideas wishes feedback critique and negatives nonstop and you havent even finished the last third?

presssuuuurrreeeee

vital vigil
#

i dont wanna imagine

#

hes at a point where its hard to succeed

#

people romantized his old work it was part of their lives 15+ years ago, so its not even just the writing its their association with nostalgia of the time

#

capturing these people is almost impossible at this point

#

its like.. can a half life 3 really be successful anymore?

#

probably to some extend but its insanely hard

pure canyon
#

my honest standpoint?

#

i dont think a half life 3 would have an easy time

#

a similiar case could be made with the god of war titles

#

something, in my opinion, i think they managed wonderfully.

#

although there are many critical voices. including the initial creator.

vital vigil
#

gow definitely a positive case where adapting to a modern gaming audience worked wonderfully

pure canyon
#

yeah

#

in my opinion they really picked up key things. and actually woven it in a way you didnt even need to play the first couple games with the little bits revealed on and on.

maiden jacinth
#

i think the main issue is the expectation people have

pure canyon
#

i think having atreus helped there too. in a way, atreus also was only now discovering the truth behind who is father is

#

thought you of all people knew there also was shonen with female leads

maiden jacinth
#

soul eater

#

blood-c

#

jujutsu kaisen has female main characters

pure canyon
#

soul eater, yona of the dawn, kill la kill, blood c, a certain scientific railgun

maiden jacinth
#

promised neverland

#

kakegurui

vital vigil
#

promised was a shonen?

maiden jacinth
#

pretty sure it falls into shonen

vital vigil
#

with cases like soul eater im unsure if i agree. feel like soul eater, dandadan, mirai nikki fall into that double mc thing

#

but maybe im wrong

maiden jacinth
#

ok but they still have female mcs then

vital vigil
#

ye for sure

#

just saying single fem mcs in shonens are idd rare

maiden jacinth
#

how about frieren then

#

thats also shonen i think

pure canyon
#

i'd honestly make an exception for frieren

vital vigil
#

wouldnt say that show is a shonen but it is an insanely good how

maiden jacinth
#

ok gabriel dropout

#

ika musume

pure canyon
#

(i love frieren but i can see why some have difficulty saying it is a shonen)

maiden jacinth
#

jahy sama

pure canyon
#

ah yes, gabriel dropout another big example

#

one of the jojo arcs

#

does made in abyss count as shonen?

maiden jacinth
#

oh oh oh

#

kill la kill

vital vigil
#

nah but made in abyss was sick

#

theyre really slow on the anime front cz theyre waiting for the manga, right?

maiden jacinth
#

medaka box

pure canyon
#

lycoris recoil apparently also falls under shonen, lol

vital vigil
#

i dropped that one. wasnt for me

pure canyon
#

i loved it

vital vigil
#

madoka magical girl

pure canyon
#

one i am actually watching right now about a FEMALE superhero is "SHY"

vital vigil
#

dont think it counts as shonen tho

pure canyon
#

which is a shonen

maiden jacinth
#

anyway i dont think shonen with a female protagonist are particularly rare but the male protagonist sure is more popular

vital vigil
pure canyon
#

in a sense noragami i think was shonen too? but i guess it's one of the "doubles"

maiden jacinth
pure canyon
#

does that mean wishing for more women as leads in shonen is invalid?

maiden jacinth
#

rare would mean they are not made often like once every 10years or so a new one comes out

vital vigil
#

comparatively rare

vital vigil
pure canyon
#

the thing is this started with someone saying they'd like to see more women in shonen as leads.

#

which i think is valid and a thing i'd love to see too

#

something i think is more aspiring than "copy paste self insert mould of a power fantasy"

maiden jacinth
#

im totally for the balance to tilt more

vital vigil
#

as long as the story is good and the animations are as well, i really dont care if its a dude or a gal

maiden jacinth
#

not like most shonen are good to begin with (most of those have male protagonists)

#

i honestly dropped more shonen than shojos personally

pure canyon
#

same

errant flower
#

shonen feel often the same with this power fantasy stuff with a story I feel like I've already seen 10x

pure canyon
#

i personally feel the shows they try to have more good focus on a female lead has a bit more to it than the same "haha boys good, girls weird, haha" type of "comedy"

#

though i'm biased.

vital vigil
#

no but shonen is a demographic and they make what they think that demographic wants to see. would i mind more chicks mcs? no. but shonen means male teenagers and a male power fantasy and good looking side characters is what sells

pure canyon
#

very biased

vital vigil
#

its the "safe pick"

pure canyon
#

bofuri is also a good example

pure canyon
vital vigil
#

the biggest animes are these action shonens with standard stories

#

where shit like mha is almost just a reskin of naruto

pure canyon
#

true

#

also i think worth noting is, modern japan is still very sexist in its society.

#

which i guess heavily influences the media they produce at times.

vital vigil
#

its a different culture

#

their relationship to women, kids, work and a lot more

#

is just very different from our sensibilities

#

but also their culture and media is insanely popular across the whole world

#

so thats something to think about

pure canyon
#

that i think is just how you perceive being in that bubble

#

western media is also widely popular in places you dont expect

#

but especially the internet and its "you liked this, so we give you more of it" algorithms will make sure you stay in a bubble

#

there is plenty of people still out there, that'd have no idea about so many things we see as "common"

#

and i speak of work colleagues

#

people we meet on the streets

#

and it's not just generational differences

maiden jacinth
#

hmmm actually i dont think shojo can have a real power fantasy

pure canyon
#

also a lot of anime are actually produced as a sort of big advertisment for the corresponding manga. that is the reason why there often is just single seasons of many great stories.

maiden jacinth
#

or maybe i just cant imagine one

pure canyon
#

there also were cases where anime were more successful outside japan

vital vigil
pure canyon
#

you are forgetting an important detail btw.

#

media aimed especially to younger audiences is often controlled by adults.

#

not necessarily by kids.

#

"education value"

#

"what do we want to teach them"

#

just look at the usa and their "dont say gay" BS agenda

maiden jacinth
#

does sailor moon count as a power fantasy

vital vigil
#

of course but what we are seeing is obviously super popular

vital vigil
pure canyon
#

other stories that diverge from the common tropes are also super mega popular... so why isnt there more of it either?

vital vigil
#

same reason why its mostly the same shit here

#

its easier to do and safe

pure canyon
#

but if it is popular and also done a few times already and liked everytime, wouldnt that also be safe and easy to do?

maiden jacinth
#

at least thats the best tl;dr i could give on the genre

vital vigil
#

yes but for someone whos spending the money and hoping to multiplyit if you go off of statistics. do you take the tried and true formula that has been working a lot of the time

#

or the ones youre describing

vital vigil
maiden jacinth
#

no as both goku and naruto go through lengthy and massive training arks

pure canyon
vital vigil
#

cz most of the super successful shonens are kind of naive/blue eyed male protagonists whos story is getting stronger through adversity

pure canyon
#

and i'm saying is that I'd like this cycle to be broken out of

vital vigil
#

why is everyone reviving dead IPs from 20+ years ago and making content that has nothing to do with it

#

cough marathon

#

its cz the probability of people trying ot just cz of its name is gigantic

maiden jacinth
#

a peak power fantasy is something like alucard from hellsing or cid from eminence in shadow

vital vigil
#

why they tryna make james bond a black woman. cz the name 007 sells and making an agent 006 or 008 wouldnt work nearly as well

#

that example is outdated

#

but what im talking baout is taking established IPs and then changing core stuff in it

pure canyon
vital vigil
#

ye eminence is kind of a parody

#

but he is the giga op trope

maiden jacinth

#

I’m excited for this adaptation of Johnny storm and Susan storm

vital vigil
#

its funny. recently ive been thinking about if its always been this way or its a new thing to over use the same actors in everything

wicked aspen
#

It’s always been this way

#

Actors are like rags they use them till they are gross

vital vigil
#

ye thats the conclusion i came to as well

wicked aspen
#

That was probably the meanest statement I’ve ever made

vital vigil
#

i remember in the early 2000s when brad pitt was in every movie

vital vigil
#

ngl this is looking like the next 5 or 6 out of 10

#

its getting to a point where thats kinda immersion breaking^^

#

seeing the same guy in every 3rd movie

wicked aspen
#

Yeah, there’s so many great actors we don’t need to reuse so much

#

Even then once an actor becomes the epitome of a typecast it ruins immersion

#

Like Ryan Reynolds’s is only dead pool to me

vital vigil
#

ok but thats also because every role he takes is dead pool

#

theyre not writing characters and thinking: yo reynolds would be great

#

they write reynolds

#

detective pikachu is only a dick joke and a stupid quip away from being dead pool

pure canyon
#

I will say though pedro pascal is amazingly versatile

#

He actually got to use GoT for his jump as a big star, cuz all his three seperate appearances displayed many different faces he could act

rich cipher
#

Is that the guy from La Casa de Papel?

#

Oh nevermind

vital vigil
#

didnt jason momoa also get his break through with GoT?

#

he was the king of the savages guy right?

#

i absolutely dont remember any names

#

the ones that stuck to targarien

pliant forum
#

Khal Drogo

vital vigil
#

ye that guy

#

was jason, right?

pliant forum
#

Shortlived but memorable.

vital vigil
#

feel like that role was a big catalyst for him

pure canyon
#

i think before that he played roles like aquaman

#

he played in baywatch now that i think about it

#

which was kinda huge then

#

and stargate i think

#

which were pre GoT

#

he btw felt also kinda typecast in the minecraft movie

vital vigil
#

its the rock

#

but new

#

feel like jason is filling that role kinda

#

the funny and sympathetic giant

i couldnt get into it idk

I think that's what suspended me

#

It's far from my type of show haha, yet I loved it

vital vigil
#

just finished rezero s3. gotta say im surprised to say i thought it was actually pretty good and better than s2

#

the main reason i didnt enjoy s2 as much tho is cz it was mainly about emilia and i think shes a boring character without spoiling anyhting

#

also im like 99% sure i know who wrath actually is

#

this character

#

ngl screenshotting with HDR is so fucking annoying.. windows and other tools claiming they fixed it but it still looks overblown like this..

Just finished binging American Gods. It starts strong but fizzles out over the course of three seasons - and ends on a cliffhanger that you need to read books for. Bit of a shame.

It is very thought provoking to have technology, television and social media become gods, because people worship them. Lovely twist.

Naw. That's basically episode one.

sounds like a cool idea

I'd say it's worth a watch, if you don't mind having an ending that is basically like the flash cards from Fallout games, except you have to go look for them yourself after the last season ends.

# vital vigil cz screenshots suck?

dashi told me you can go into window screen shot settings and turn on ss while using hdr (i forgot the name of the setting im not at my pc)

but it helped a lot but recording in hdr in obs sucks though

vital vigil

did that but its still bad

#

better than nothing tho

im not sure how to configure hdr recording on obs using an amd gpu

vital vigil

ah k

i dont stream so no issues there

hdr looks so damn nice in many games

i dont either, its mostly just to clip :v

as long as its the same IP and loosely has the same story it is an "adaptation" btw

sage thunder
#

Arthur annoys me tbh

#

Genuinely the most annoying character who is stupidly OP but rarely ever can be because of the fantasy stuff in his head.

vital vigil
#

finished invincible s3. im always kinda undecided on how i like the show. the story itself isnt necessarily bad but the art style, character, costume and monster design are all atrocious. animation is one of the worst ive ever seen and the plot armor on certain characters is through the roof

#

and that without mentioning how boring and uninspired heroes and monsters abilities are in almost all american comics

#

in mha even tho its the same ability of the mc "being giga strong" lol. at least he learns new tech, unlocks new things while in invincible its just mindless boxing and holding people in the air by 1 hand

#

ffs teach him some tricks or like all the fighting styles or smth so he can overcome stronger opponents

#

instead his training is just ogre strength

#

has anyone else finished it? i seem to remember people were mad about something at the ending but im not sure what cz it didnt seem worse than anything else theyve written. also maybe put it in spoiler tags for others

vital vigil
#

i found it more interesting than s2 because i think this multiverse shit every media has been doing for the past 10 years is boring af and a cheap cop out for shitty story telling since there are no rules and you can write anything since its "multiverse"

#

its like writing a story and MC losing, dying or w/e but then what ever entity grants them a wish to make it unhappen

I watched the trailer. I’ve been on a marvel binge recently. I’m not really excited. It’s just weird RDJ was Tony Stark and now he’s gone. I was hoping they’d lean into the idea of Happy tutoring Peter into being the next stark genius. With Spider-Man making different suits and stuff.

Of course there’s always racial undertones when people get pissy with this sort of thing

are you talking about the batman beyond project?

i thought the movie was ok but it was very well made and one of the few IPs that successfully introduced a new character as an MC

it was pitched to them and they just turned it down

im assuming because of messing with james gunn dc trilogy
