If he cared, GameO would already be a piece of media.
I just want to also make it clear, I don't like Gamoverse and I don't care if it succeeds or fails, so far it seems
okay? What I care about is seeing something any example of these people making something at least narritively competent and functional, TADC had serious flaws but for the most part a lot of that can be chalked up to the distaste for the style and sense of humor, the style is very aggresive and in your face so if it's not for you then it's not for you, ok fair enough. But the ending isn't just weak, it completely breaks everything good the show had going for it and I'm honestly baffled how Goose completely dropped the fucking ball mere inches from the endzone. Like it or not these basket cases are the most current loudest voices for "indie" animation right now, it's either them or the Dreamworks, Sony, Disney, Illumination conglomerates. I love animation, I think it's an incredible but tragically underutilized and bottlenecked medium, I genuinely cannot fucking stand how pretty much all of these cornballs are inspired by the exact same shit and make the exact same shit. I want them to prove me wrong I want them to make something that can maybe push us closer to getting something up there with the original Avatar: TLA, good mature storytelling for all ages that doesn't constantly patronize the shit out of you either by: A) treating you like a completely broken failure of an adult with writing that is just glorified therapy sessions for the characters, (I.E. TADC, Bojack) or B) treating you like a retarded ape person with writing that's filled to the brim with gore, sex, and heckin curse words like cunt and fuck (I.E. Invincible) those are the only two flavors of """mature""" storytelling we get in animation today.
I so so desperately want an indie animator to come out of the woodwork that's inspired heavily by literature and film instead of video games and cartoons. As of right now Umami is the only one that's doing it with any semblence of success, does Safe Mode and Interface get even a tenth of the attention shit like Gameoverse and TADC has? Of course, not. This is what I mean when talking about animation being bottlenecked, how is animation supposed to move forwards or make anything interesting or new if everyone in the idustry and everyone who's watching suffers from arrested development and refuses to expand, mature, or develop their artistic tastes? I have zero doubt in my mind most if not
all of the writing problems modern animated projects face today stems from everyone part of the project consuming nothing but media they consumed when they were kids, it stems from the industry being run by actual manchildren who refuse to put the toys and cartoons down for anything else. And don't tell me it's always been like that, because legends like Craig McCracken and Genndy Tartatovsky just to name two, were inspired by so so much more than just the bullshit they consumed when they were kids and that's how they were able to make truly forward thinking and great animated art, solidifying themselves as greats in their respective industry both in the areas of style and writing. The people currently leading the animation industry are so not those guys, artists these days legitimately cannot believe or understand how the person who made powerpuff girls could be just a regular ass dude. It doesn't make any sense, to them good artists are supposed to be mentally ill suicidal spiraling messes not normal and well adjusted men with decent amounts of life experience.
Edit: I completely forgot to bring up Miyazaki as an example, debateably the greatest animation director period, he was inspired by history, aviation, his childhood, literature, and the people he knew and loved around him. Is it any wonder why he fucking despises 99% of the shit that falls out of the ass of the animation industry?
