I remember Conan being portrayed as more of a force of nature than a human being. I think Genndy will fail to deliver on that because he tends to always give his characters soft spots, and the Barbarian is supposed to have none whatsoever. He's a thief/conquerer, larger-than-life character, and I can't recall Genndy ever directing one of those.*

I'm sure it'll be pretty decent regardless; he'll likely fuse his Primal lead with Samurai Jack. It just won't be true to the Conan of the pulp stories.

*Even Aku (the shape-shifting master of darkness) isn't larger than life. Aku isn't like Napolean, where there's stories of him winning over whole columns of soldiers with a single speech. Instead he's cajoling, bribing, coercing, destroying, using subterfuge etc.
Ok real fuckin shot in the dark here but does any other nigga remember the 90s Conan cartoon?

I have exceedingly ancient memories of watching this around about the same time I was introduced to Warhammer Fantasy which would be when I was like 5 or 6 and from what little I remember it was not entirely terrible, although I am unsure if this is just nostalgia goggles on my part
 
Just rewatched Mission Hill.

Like most people I originally watched it when Adult Swim reaired the series in the mid 2000's. Who the hell watched WB in the late 90's? No one thats why it got canned despite showing some real promise.

This shit gave me heavy nostalgia for some reason. I was an adult when it aired back in the day so it's not childhood stuff. Besides, shows from my actual childhood I loved don't give me the same feeling for some reason. It must be the Cake soundtrack, the ending theme tickles my nostalgia-nerve in a way nothing else does. Not a Cake fan persay but it sounds so 90's.

Or maybe it's the bright neon colors. It's like if you extracted the late 1990's and distilled it down to its purest form. Must be the pre-9/11 vibes that I miss.

Real shame the show didn't get a few more seasons. They tried to bring it back a few years ago but that died. No point trying, you can't make anything like this anymore. Truly a flash-in-the-pan moment. But at least we still have the memories of what we got...

iirc Mission Hill was written by the same guys who were doing the best seasons of the Simpsons.
 
Sounds like it. They also spent several years developing the show so it makes sense it kind of encapsulates the mid-90's despite being released in 1999-2000. Real shame no one puts that much effort into writing anymore.
I started watching my DVD collection of the Critic. The first episode was good.
 
This is anime related and not western (sorry), but I still thought I'd post about it since they seem like an indie anime studio? The animation and imagery on display here kinda surprised me if this was all independent, thought it was some 2000s shortclip at first before shifting to jokes and the shilling.
Not gonna support this because tranime, but still thought it was neat enough to share.

I watched it a couple weeks ago. The phoenix is annoying but it's not terrible, otherwise.

I find it insane that Mission Hill didn't get a second wind and a second season on Adult Swim. It's got edge, it appeals to teens and adults, that's your target audience. It can even be something your 40 year old parents relate to, like that one episode where it turned out Wally was actually not-Ed Wood, or when it made fun of The Real World. Hell, it was brought over to Adult Swim barely three years after it was killed off, why didn't it get the Home Movies treatment? Were the rights to the series that much more expensive than the rights to air it?

It wasn't called Family Guy or Robot Chicken and so it got one season and then killed off.
 
Unless you're watching shit like Paw Patrol as an adult which many of us would find strange.
I mostly watch adult cartoons and old school, I would rather blow my brains out than watch Paw Patrol.


It was the only good Minions/ Despicable Me I have seen in my lifetime. This is more proof that clown world is here. I tried watching Despicable Me 1 and 2 ages ago and turned that shit off about midway in both movies.

As far as om aware this dude has been pimping out his waifu oc for at least a decade now, so its not unrealistic that he could fund something like this with his patreon bucks tbh

Also, while on the topic of indie animation, im suprised alien stage (and now zombie stage) is almost never brought up in these spheres? It has some decent scifi lore, good visuals, and is made/led by a korean lesbian couple and 2 of the 3 main relationships are gay, so its not that either. Are westerners really so lazy as to not read some subtitles? Is it just that it tells its story trough music and visuals rather than dialogue??
 
korean lesbian couple
Its mainly made by one fujoshit larping as a lesbian. No matter how stunning the visuals are (which she stole from older media, larping on nostalgia bait), her entire animation consists of HEY LOOK ITS DARK GAY RAPE GAY MURDER FAGGOT GAY TOXIC YURI UWU FAGGOT GAY OCs of mine! PLS MAKE GAY PORN OF THEM!!!!

Literally a Korean version of VivziePop.

May her death by painful and embarrassing, something like chocking on some faggot dick in a terrible queer lesbian platonic sex accident. In Japan.

She keeps the main content free on YouTube tho instead of funding and paywalling it on prime tho, so still more deserving of the indie title itself tbh. Like ofc its some fag shit but the indie sphere LOVES fag shit and it gets a lot of views, so im confused on why its not discussed as much by said fags who love shipping Pomni with Ragathot and Charlie with Charlies cardboard girlfriend and stuff.
