Would a typical standard 2010s dystopian YA novel make for a good cartoon, especially if it was aiming for a more Infinity Train/Young Justice/Gravity Falls demographic?
>whiteJacob was latin tho
The era for that has passed, but it would have been a good idea to do something professional with that ten years ago. Maybe get Floyd County to do it.
>>144635083Unironically yes and it would probably be pretty great and improve the animarion genre.>Fuck off Brad Bird animation is 100% a genreMid 2010s Dystopian YAs take them selves fairly seriously and are usually wrote in a sincere manner in spite of their high levels of cringe.A cartoon with a fairly serious mood and tone would be a genuine breath of fresh air.>But what about the shitty live triangle romance?Mid 2010s YA-isms are annoying but most of them ultimately amount to nothing more than banal female wishfullment fantasies. To me it's rather a small price to pay to possibly get something genuinely new in the creatively bankrupt animation industry... as an aside I honestly don't think making fun of shit like Twilight, The Hunger Games and other YA romances was a good idea. It's harmless albeit retarderd wishfulment like James Bond is for men. Making fun of or moral fagging over obvious wishfulement will just make audiences in writers insecure and bitter which sucks for everyone
>>144635083There are a lot of these which ARE cartoons, so I would say yes.>Infinity Train/Young Justice/Gravity Falls demographicThose are generally aimed at the late 20s/mid 30s demographic but will happily scoop up any teens or kids who start watching, so they probably aren't the demographic who wants to watch YA fiction adaptions outside nostalgia. And I don't think that most people who want to watch Young Justice (read comics when young) or Gravity Falls (watched X-Files when young) were also reading YA fiction.
>>144635083Nooo not the heckin yt folx! Why don't these authors give little girls what they really crave; diverse and vibrant BBC?
>>144635083Yeah. The most successful aimed at teen and tween anime tends to be dystopian.Strip them of their comforts and have their choices matter and validate their feelings through real life and death scenarios. And even teach moral lessons and life lessons. Shit will workHowever this will just be used as a way to push faggotry and communism/capitalism and other bullshit.
>>144635107Jacob was an Indian
>>144635107I think this is more about The Hunger Games and all the irredeemably awful ripoffs it inspired than about Twilight, even if Twilight does partially fit the bill.
>>144635083>Would a typical standard 2010s dystopian YA novel make for a good cartoonits called Arcane
>>144635787True and it works
>>144635776It was just sort of the style of the time where Mary Sue awareness was at an all time high but authors weren’t doing anything to not write Mary Sues beyond just asserting that their main heroines that the world revolves around are in fact not perfect and have flaws
>>144635873>>144635787Crazy bitches with problem hair and faggotry and trash melodrama?oh boy...just what normal people in 99.9% of the fucing world want to see. The same exact fucking shit in NON dystopian media forced onto the western audience and other countries through the failed American media machine.
>>144635787Maybe if Jinx was a Mary Sue who always wins and had Jayce and Ekko fighting over who gets to date her.

>>144635107native am*ricans are honorary beneficiaries of white privilege
>>144635083Yes, both ways. The YA novel concept would make an excellent baseline for a semi-arc driven cartoon, with characters designed to progress the story and emphasize the setting rather than the other way around. Meanwhile the cartoon visuals could enable a level of pathos that live-action struggles with, as an actor is trained to inspire confidence in a way that illustration doesn't depend on.
>>144635083>>144635083Yeah. As long they follow the right tropes and not make it too stupid/obvious
>>144635083Arent they making a Twilight animated series?
>>144635537What the fuck is this argument. Gravity Falls is obvious kiddie shit
YA as a genre was a mistake.
