    I think you shouldn't use A.I. as any kind of source of information.

    "Animal Farm" (2026) Talkback

    I'm 100 % that it sucks, but I also think that we should be waaayyy past the point of posting a Doug Walker review as a persuasive argument.

    Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation)

    I would add that, if adult animation fans want to seriously spread the "animation is a medium, not a genre" mindset, they need to start broaden their own horizons and stop having their lists of "mature"/great animations mainly be made out of works aimed at children. Yes, children media should be...

    Not to be pedantic what does or doesn't count as a movie, but I don't feel that just slapping a loose framing device around unconnected shorts makes the strongest/most narratively tight story. Nothing inherently wrong with them and I guess back then that was pretty fun way to make the experience...

    We'll see how Coyote vs. Acme fairs (and I have not seen The Day the Earth Blew Up, but to my understanding it is pretty much straight-up comedy), but I feel that so far it has always been bit more than awkward trying to fit Looney Tunes into a traditional feature-length three-act narrative...

    "Untitled X-Men Movie (MCU)" Pre-Release News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Mister Sinister is a big "must-have" of this reboot in my eyes, since he is the one big X-Men villain everyone knows, who was never used in the Fox movies. Apocalypse could and should be saved as an after-credits tease, as the man behind Sinister.

    Genndy Tartakovsky's "Fixed"

    I feel I'm generally pretty accepting of comedies, where the plot is secondary to gags. I can also tolerate animation, where one of the driving forces was to be "edgy", having enjoyed stuff like Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat and Wizards, and even Seth Rogen's Sausage Party. However, this movie...

    Transformers G1 Returns By Fanatic Films

    For a fan project made for other fans, these are fine and harmless, but I can't help, but to snicker at the opening disclaimer. Or, more specifically, the part of these being meant to be a serious showcase how Hasbro could produce an official G1 revival with these same methods. I'm sorry, it's...

    Do you agree that the 1970s was the worst decade for cartoons of all time?

    I would in general say that Star Trek TAS deserves more credits than it gets. I feel that "legit" (for a lack of better term) sci-fi animated shows for kids in that style are pretty rare. In comparison, something like Prodigy (which I'm not trying to put down or anything, just makes sense to...

    "Spider-Man '94" Comic News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Would be a hilarious meta gag, if every new issue recycled artwork/panels from the previous ones as new scenes.

    Don't want to make it seem like that voice acting (especially stunt casting voice acting) is my "thing" on this thread, but this came to my head: I don't like David Spade as Kuzco in The Emperor's New Groove. He gives some real "reading straight from the script" energy and his lifeless...

    Cartoons that are popular in your country

    The original 90's Biker Mice From Mars has a pretty sizeable cult following in Finland, which is pretty interesting considering that I don't think it was ever a particularly big hit anywhere else. This was helped by the memetic (in a good way, I swear) Finnish dub, which replaced the popculture...

    "Blade" (MCU) News and Discussion Thread

    Hmm... Good question, haven't really given it a tought, since Blade admittedly isn't a project I have strong preconception on in terms of what the movie "should be". For "everything goes, even pies in the sky" choices, Vincenzo Natali could probably do a genuily creepy version of Blade, which...

    "Blade" (MCU) News and Discussion Thread

    Eh, I dunno, as someone who doesn't get the hype around John Wick movies (the first one was fine, found the sequels boring), Chad Stahelski's talents as a director kinda start and end with "can choreograph a nice looking stunt scenes" for me. Sure, "just have Blade kill vampires in R-rated fight...

    Not to sound disrespectful to them or give an impression of seeing them as "lesser" talent, but I don't see character actors, who jump between regular minor live-action and voice acting roles as celebrities. Yeah, they might have one or two iconic live-action roles (say, Mark Hamill as Luke...
