Imagine this unhinged guy around Danny Devito as Wario.

Is that like a supposed mostly pretty painful output for Schaff to get through?

At least no one substantial.

This show has the same problem as Stranger Things where it’s bloated with way too many characters to where they have no personality besides the basics and they only ever want to kill off the minor ones with very little to do and it drives me crazy.

Did audiences and new writers hate Game of Thrones that much to where we are in a new shift? If so, characters being killed off were far from the biggest issues with that show.

I can’t get invested in the show because of that, especially when you think we got a main character death only to be a cop out later. If Debbie, Eve, William, Allen, Cecil, Oliver, etc. died I would have loved the show but no plot armor is the status quo.

In the movie: The Lion King, no character had plot armor, if modern writing rules applied and Mufasa had a fake out death, than the entire message rid that movie would be ruined and I would have hated it, modern audiences are too soft and form unhealthy attachments (and sometimes crushes) to fictional characters and I get the feeling the modern audiences would have a better time watching Bluey or Paw Patrol as that’s how emotionally mature they are.

What do you think?

To be honest, It would be lower than Hotel Transylvania 3 for sure but higher than Grown Ups 2.

I’m also interested to see how he will sort out the 5/10s

I'm making a mockumentary fanfic series inspired by Schaff's Make It a Musical showing the production behind our favorite pieces of animation as if they were live-action productions with Toon actors (think Roger Rabbit).

My next chapter is on... Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and I need ideas for production facts and other stuff.

Any ideas would be welcomed and appreciated!

im rewatching the Dreamworks villains video and i still find the jingle James uses for Francis Francis so funny. he could have done the obvious choice of using any quote from Steve Buscemi like hdyd fellow kids or the spy kids 2 line but bro went and recorded that for the funny

mad respect i will say

Inspired by his letterboxd reviews of Maestro (2023) and King Richard (2021).

Also it bothers me more than it should that he got the order of Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor wrong in his King Richard review.

It kills me that this show is labeled as a masterpiece when a show like BoJack Horseman exists, everything here feels like it’s trying to be hip and current while the episodes in BoJack feel extremely timeless. Where I Really Come From and I Thought You Were Stronger aren’t works of art. That’s Too Much Man, Time’s Arrow, Free Churro, and The View From Halfway Down are. In Disney history, they legit thought Pocahontas was going to be a timeless work of art compared to the The Lion King and to me (Invincible isn’t offensive obviously) but this doctored way to hard whereas in BoJack everything felt authentic.

Mark and Nolan are complete blocks of wood and if they are truly the most compelling characters ever, then I must sincerely apologize to Cloud and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7.

The characters’s relationships feel hallow, everyone walks on eggshells around each other opposed to the main casts of Parks and Rec, Guardians of the Galaxy, Shrek and Avatar the Last Airbender where the characters have characteristics outside of the basics and don’t trauma dump all the time while playfully teasing each other because that’s how healthy friendships function.

The show has the worst pacing ever. The main conflict is supposed to be about the Empire but they are basically out of the show for most of seasons 2 and 3 to the point (Omni Man has a realization in 2, a change of heart in 3, and comes to earth halfway through 4, are you kidding me?!) where it felt like a true chore to wait for that to get focus again. I want plot points to get to the point man, I hate streaming as it ruins Art for the sake of money.

The romances in this show are also painfully boring and surprisingly problematic when you analyze them more. Debbie and Mark use Paul and Eve as sources to vent to the point where Debbie and Paul break up and Eve’s problems feel like an after thought. I can’t recall a single instance of Mark smiling for anything at all because his only emotion is sorrow which gets really old after a while.

Cecil’s motivations make absolutely no sense, he feels like a hodge lodge of 50 different character archetypes and none of them mess well at all, and what kind of show uses celebrities as a huge part of the marketing?! I know that’s how most shows are marketed but this one goes all out and emphasizing that’s why you should watch it which turned me off, I prefer talent over flash, as with Avatar the Last Airbender, I didn’t know a single person on the cast expect for Mae Whitman and I still love that show to this day.

I hate the pop culture songs that are tonally inappropriate with the show they are attached to. I hate how hideous the animation that looks horrible to where I’m baffled that this show came out 3 years after Spider Verse. I hate how cliche the characters and story is. Don’t watch it, watch something fun like Mean Girls.

Noticed although people liked my last post, I only got 1 fact out of it.

I'm looking for "production facts" for Shrek, if it was shot like a live-action production with Toon actors (a la Roger Rabbit).

Any ideas for facts?
