Seems to be Justin Roiland's personal style. You can sort of see it in his previous work including the original Doc and Mharti shorts. Also there's a decent amount of Ren & Stimpy inspiration.

Jinx is heavily shimmered up. That's probably as good of an explanation as anything for why she resisted for so long.

First 3 episodes of Arcane season 2 were really good. There has been a slight jump in animation quality from season 1's already phenomenal animation and they are also trying some new things, both in terms of character arcs and things like editing. I can understand it might be hit or miss, but for me it mostly worked really well. I have minor criticisms of the pacing of episode 3 but that's about it.

For anyone who hasn't watched Season 1 in a while, I would recommend rewatching it because this really feels like Act 4 of the show and I think a rewatch really helped me appreciate these episodes more.

Eh, the MVs don't really bother me. It's like a minute or 2 at (or near) the start of each episode showing a montage of events. I think what they represent is the pacing messiness you mentioned and that's is an issue, but tbh that's been one of my minor criticisms of season 1 as well so it's kind of more of the same in regards to season 2.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes

Hopefully. People that have seen the first 3 episodes at the premiere have been saying it's just as good if not better and with better animation. So fingers crossed.

 

Seasons 1 and 2 combined cost $250 million to produce and promote.

How do you think the electorate becomes this way? It's not because of some innate failure of humans. It's because of the massive alienation that has systematically occurred over the past 50+ years (and really since WW2) as a result of deliberate policies that have decimated communities, destroyed public education, massively widened the wage gap, ruined the housing market, and is wiping out the environment. Among many other things

Policies that are frequently pushed by Republicans, but sometimes supported and often not repudiated properly by Democrats.

I think this might have been downvoted because the invidious frontend was down briefly and also the title is not great for people without any context.

Here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U17j0zweh90 Pretty good.

Wait, pinned posts don't federate properly? That's very interesting.

To be entirely fair, this was originally on Max and HBO is to blame. But yeah, Netflix is making a mistake. This is the kind of show that even if it doesn't get massive views on release has a lot of staying power and long term appeal.

Transformers One was pretty solid. Excellent execution of a very predictable story.
