    Here's another vid of the new anime batman.
    From the subs, people are parsing that Joker might have gone back in time and replaced Oda Nobunaga and Batman is here to stop him.

    It definitely looks like Batman does. But then it looks like the whole Batman cast is there too. I'm sure that's Penguin and Grodd. Did they all time travel?

    Well, it looks novel enough that I'll be sure to check it out.

    Seriously, they're going deep on the entire cast. Penguin, Two-Face, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Grodd, at least one Robin, Nightwing, Deathstroke, I THINK that might be Red Hood with the huge hat thing, stinger might've been Clayface if they're being lose with his powers but I'm thinking not.

    If anything that huge pink sphere might've been a time distortion field, but then there's still a bunch of advanced tech going around. I dunno.

    Maybe they're taking a similar premise to Marvel's 1502, and some time whimmy fuckery just happened to transplant the Batman part of the DC 'verse into Warring States Japan.

    Maybe Batman will be like “I will stop Japanese Imperialism and all the bad things” before being taken back to the present by Flash like Captain America did by Fury.

    Dreamworks is reviving She-Ra for Netflix. Not He-Man. She-Ra.

    That's.... pretty cool, actually.

    He-Man got revived about 10 years ago, so it's She-Ra's turn, I reckon.

    That was a pretty decent show. Too bad it got killed just before the Horde was about to show up.

    It's funny, I still have all my He-Man figures and I realize that most of the villains I have are from She-Ra. I guess I preferred Hordak's team over Skeletor's. I do have a bunch of Skeletors though (Regular, Battle Damage and with his panther).

    looking forward for a new She-Ra series. I'll get to pull out all of the figures for my son and She-Ra. Right now he's really into transformers and he's all into the female ones. Strongarm, Arcee and Windblade are tucked in bed with him every night.

    Also worth noting in the announcement is that Dreamworks is making animated series out of pretty much every movie they made recently, including Lil' Trump.

    An animated crime procedural? It fucking writes itself!

    Disney is definitely coming back around to the idea with Tangled and Big Hero 6 series. Tangled seems pretty good, but i watched the first few eps of Big Hero 6 over Thanksgiving and it seemed ho-hum.

    Edit: Four episodes of Adventure Time's final season are landing on Cartoon Network this Sunday at 7 PM.

    Unfortunately the female characters IQ's drop to single digits when they show up in Once Upon a Time, this goes double for Anna.

    Them and Hans being realistically creepy. They did a good story that was non-typical for Disney, subverting the Prince Charming archetype, having familial love be what saves the day, and be a redemption story for the Snow Queen.

    That's a really good point and I think it gets overshadowed by everything else. A Disney villain that isn't ludicrously over the top and whose plot has an actual chance of logical success. I do think the townspeople were a bit too quick to swallow the "I'm the only one she told her dying words to, which were putting me in charge of everything" but other than that his plan held together pretty well.

    These are the same townspeople who were okay with "our rulers are technically those orphan children in the castle over there. Oh and the firstborn apparently has agoraphobia..."

    I just hope they remember that She-Ra was a tad dark, and not all sunshine and rainbows, Etheria is a world subjugated by a (Galactic? Intergalactic? Multi-Dimensional?) evil empire that gets up to a lot of nasty stuff.
    I hope the team cares about the lore and continuity as much as Mike Young Productions did for the 2K He-Man.

    I'd say it falls under parody. Does it suck, yea, but that's the rule everyone abides by. You flip the rule and you kill the entire industry because no one is then allowed to make parody. No abridged series, no jokes, no nothing, not even alternative news outlets (Though killing the Daily Show might justify it ./hyperbole). just whatever Disney and other companies decide to buy up and churn out and then smack lawsuits against to ruin whoever might have had a great or funny idea all to be able to remain in control.

    edit** to add on to this, at least RC went to the trouble of tracing the art and not just lifting it whole and splicing it to fit their skit.

    That's the thing about commentary (which parody is a part of) - requiring permission destroys the model.

    So I've had this peculiar fascination with the family tree of creator-driven animation, the cartoons I grew up with and continue to enjoy today across several networks, especially learning how they're related to each other. In previous years i've tried to encapsulate this with damned confusing images built in Excel.

    This year I graduated to Powerpoint, which i've exported as a PDF for more universal readability purposes. Some of the images I picked up are pretty grainy, but the core functionality is there: everything is cross-referenced so you can follow it on down the rabbit hole.

    Enjoy!

    Edit: Download it from Drive to your reader of choice because the in-doc hyperlinking doesn't work otherwise.

    omfg, kids... play a pinball machine. that's the tilt reference.
    you push or jostle the machine too much and it would lock up all the scoring tiles and the paddles because it's technically cheating if you push the plane of incline above where the ball goes to.
    part of the fun was to see how much you *could* jostle it.

    fuck those machines that had a central dipping curve that would pull the ball to the center and away from the paddles, though. There were a couple of those. I want to say it was the ''Playboy Mansion'' and "The Black Lagoon" machines that did that.

    Disney actually bothered to scrub Louis C.K.'s performance as the Horrifying Sweaty One-Armed Monstrosity from Gravity Falls. (His voice was dubbed over by show creator Alex Hirsch.

    Hard to tell a difference, but there it is.

    Why not bring the show back while you’re doing this. They play it enough on Disney XD.
