    rank it is terrifying

    at my school, during the summer, they open it up to this thing called Project FUN, that is basically how-to-make-videogames camp for grade school kids

    there are kids there learning game design and 3d animation that are younger then the original Xbox

    they grew up never knowing a time without online multiplayer shooters on a console or 3d graphics

    that blows my fucking mind

    every time I meet a kid who has never known what is like to not own a cellphone or have the internet

    it just breaks a piece of me

    you done had it too easy kid

    you probably never even been in a library

    pooro you need to see mister freedom

    it is william klein gone insane

    "Mr. Freedom is a pro-American Right superhero who fights for God and country by beating, robbing, raping, and killing anyone who looks like they might disagree with him. When he hears that France is in danger of falling to the Commies, Mr. Freedom heads overseas to set things right. When the welcome he receives isn't quite as warm as he expected, he gives up hope of steering the French away from the Reds and decides to salvage what he can by destroying the entire country." Hahaha, this sounds incredible.

    the thundercats remake really threw me with how fast they breezed through any backstory, taking almost no time for ANY of it in a rush to get it all explained

    Are you seriously discussing the handling of "backstory" in a show about cartoon cat people

    Raneados I swear to fucking god

    just because it's about fictional things doesn't mean that basic and coherent storytelling goes out the window

    that's like complaining if avatar had resolved with aang and the firelord never fighting, if they'd simply just not addressed it at all
    "dude there's people throwing fire from their hands and you want CLOSURE?"

    so what

    cartoons aren't allowed to be more than veneer?

    they get a pass because you can just go "well it's for kids so they don't need to ____"

    it's clearly NOT just for kids, because it's based on an 80s tv show

    the thing about people from the 80s is that they've aged 30 years

    holy crap

    I just realized

    someone born in 1990 can legally drink in the us

    how the fuck did that happen

    This is why being born in the middle of a decade is so great. I'm sure in 2000 people were having the same reaction but by 2006 no one is going "what the hell kids born in 1985 can legally drink now?"

    In other news, that doesn't make it any less weird in other respects. My roommate's 16-year-old younger brother is visiting right now.

    no I made the argument that complaining that people in the live action avatar weren't asian was silly because they weren't asian in the cartoon, and that any person of any race should be allowed to play any role as long as it does break the story or the immersion, like straight casting a white child to a black family with no explanation

    It ain't that it's a cartoon, it's that it's fucking ThunderCats

    There's plenty of awesome animation out there, and even plenty of decent kids shows

    But none of them are the goddamn ThunderCats. Did you not watch the original? It was cheesy as hell, Snarf alone was basically a warcrime, the writing was alternatingly campy and overwrought, and it had goofy-ass voice acting. What on earth would lead you to believe that's gonna spawn a quality piece of storytelling?
