    Everyone know about Gary and His Demons? I feel like it's been out for a bit but maybe not everyone's heard of it. It's pretty great.

    Kinda got a lot of that dark, absurdist rapid-fire humor that Rick and Morty does really well.

    There's a touch of Bojack in there too, but they never lean into it in that haunting Bojack way.

    Which is nice when you're in the mood for a show like that but not up to having a wound carved out where your soul used to be.

    Is there a considerable fandom for Playmobil that I'm completely unaware of?
    I mean, I know that Lego has a huge fanbase outside of their "target audience", and I count myself among them. But I don't think I've ever heard anyone over the age of 5 pining for Playmobil.

    Though, to be honest, I don't think I've heard anyone under the age of 5 pining for Playmobil either.

    Its a fairly big thing in Europe. Germany especially. Its also the closest thing Lego has to a competitor in the playset market outside of Barbie and Mattel.

    So Dan Mintz plays Tina Belcher on Bobs Burgers.

    He also voices one of Jake's kids named TV on Adventure Time.

    He uses the exact same voice.

    So it weirds me out to watch Adventure Time and an episode with TV is in it and everybody refers to that character as "He" and I keep thinking that it should be "She" because they clearly have a girls voice!

    Finally completed the final season of Voltron. I liked it a lot, even though the finale episode itself was lackluster. Detailed thoughts:
    Honerva (f.k.a. Haggar) was an interesting villain. Better than Zarkon, and especially Sendak, if not as charismatic as Lotor. Where the others wanted to be one kind of ruler or another, she simply wanted a life that was denied to her, with the irony that the person she is now couldn't possibly fit into that life. Honerva slowly breaking through the Haggar personality and slowly regaining memories while, for whatever reason, not stopping the abuse Zarkon inflicted on Lotor was interesting as it highlighted that she was part of the problem. It was well portrayed, both tragic and off-putting.

    Lots of good character moments, and I loved both the tie in to the 80's cartoon and Vehicle Voltron.

    That said, I'm disappointed in three things.

    First, the dark energy creatures. They're what corrupted Zarkon and Honerva. Honerva infected the remaining Altaens with them, and Allura infects herself with one. They're presented as being a big deal. But, that plot thread never goes anywhere. We don't learn anything more about them, and nothing is done with/about them.

    Second, the last second villain redemption arcs. I get that it's a kid's show, but given everything Zarkon and Honerva have done - both big and small - they really don't deserve to be forgiven or redeemed.

    Third, Allura's sacrifice. It comes out of left field, has zero explanation, and undermines the point of an earlier episode in the season.

    Overall, I really enjoyed the show. Apparently the 'fandom' surrounding the show is beyond toxic, which is a shame. It's a fun, if imperfect, show that deserves to be watched.

    TV is also basically Tina which doesnt help.

    On Zarkon.
    That's pretty much why Allura grabbed his head and forced him to live through everything "he" did after being consumed by quintessence. But it'd be foolish to not allow the good part of him that existed to not help make things right. Same with Honerva, if it was going to take Honerva and Allura to restore all of those other realities then sure let her help.

    For me...
    it's not a matter of whether or not they should help, but rather if they deserve a happy ending. I'm not as annoyed with Zarkon - who, as you say, was forced by Allura to face up to what he had done - as I am with Honerva.

    Put another way, these two people spent the last 10,000 years killing, torturing, and enslaving billions to trillions of lifeforms. Did the ending reflect a sense of them facing justice for those crimes? In my eyes, no. So, for me, the ending shot of Honerva in not-heaven with her family exactly the way she wanted was unearned.

    Well, John Lasseter is back... but not at Pixar.

    He's been hired to oversee a new animation division at Skydance, a production company responsible for newer Star Trek movies, Mission Impossible movies and the like.

    You really should read the letter the head of Skydance sent to his employees. It's... something.

    I guess if you had to hire one Lasseter is at least a controllable monster with an impressive resume.

    Nobody would work for or with John K. even before his outing snd his only notable project is a show he worked on for like 2 percent of it's run

    Wakfu is rad

    The 3rd season was a Netflix exclusive I think. And it has some great twists.

    But yeah watch it with subtitles if you can. The character nicknames make more sense, like the shortening of Sadlygrove. Oh and Ruel's English vo is like a young man trying to sound like a 70yo muppet
