That's Spear fr fr? Idk how happy I am for him to keep suffering and hoped it was a new thing entirely but the animation. designs and aesthetics look sick, so I will be watching.

LETSFUCK'NGOOOOOO!!
>>150752468ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is this an undead Spear story?GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY: Yeah! He's a zombie. I'm not gonna talk about how he became one. We'll obviously reveal it in the show. I finished the [season 2] story and I was moving on. Then I started to have second thoughts. I just spent 20 episodes having people care, and then I kill off the main character, which is okay, but then, what are my options? The other stuff I was doing wasn't feeling quite right, maybe because I hadn't finished the story. And because we had that "Plague of Madness" episode in the first season where it was a zombie dinosaur, this is part of our world. It's pulp. It's the ultimate pulpy thing, the undead.Are we still in the real world of Primal or are we in the underworld? There are so many images in that teaser trailer, especially the ending with a giant fly. Is this an otherworldly dimension?No, no. What's great about it is it flows right to the next. So it's in the same world, same everything. There's dinosaur and man, then there's different civilizations, and then now there's this thing happening. I imagine this world has a lot of different parts, and some parts aren't discovered. Some people don't go into other parts because they know [not to]. So it's this f---ed up world that's really crazy, and now we've entered this part, but you feel like it's the same show. It's amped up and the story's crazy, but it feels like you're watching a Primal episode. It's not a reboot, it's none of those things.
>>150752430Wasn't Spear like burnt to a crisp? Did he even have hair at the end?
>>150752430Why was he resurrected and for what purpose?
>>150752474
>>150752480Are there specific pulp eras that inspired what you're going for here?For me, it's really the Robert E. Howard writings. Once I read Conan, I was like, "This is so much more than I ever imagined Conan to be." Then I dove into everything that he wrote. He wrote Western stories, he wrote boxing stories, he wrote these weird 19th-century sailor stories in the Barnaby Coast that were amazing, and then Solomon Kane. Probably Solomon Kane was the biggest [influence] besides Conan, this kind of mashup of puritan warrior priest and vampires and monsters and the undead and all these things.Do you consider season 3 still like a Spear and Fan story?It's a continuation. Without giving everything away, it's still about them. So we'll have to see how he makes it back to the family. Does the family accept him? What happens? Does he even know who he is? When you're undead, you're not necessarily, "Oh yeah! I was Jim." Your brain is dead, possibly. So there's all these questions that need to be answered.
>>150752485Because him dying and getting raped while burned to death to keep the bloodline going was so hated an ending he is trying to salvage it
>>150752492We were left with that image at the end of season 2 of Spear and Fang's children picking up the mantle. Is it fair to say the season 3 story still involves those characters?It involves all the same characters that we've known from the second season. Without expanding on it, yeah, they're still around.In terms of animation, are different things inspiring you this time around? It was giving very Salvador DalĂ vibes with the shots of trees melting and this giant fly emerging out of nowhere.We got to explore different things. Because he's a zombie, it lent itself to something more, I don't know if metaphysical is the right word, or just more trippy. We could really become a little bit more abstract in our storytelling and create crazy moods and feelings and really play with your emotions. That's what's great about it. It's really emotional.
How the hell does Gennedy get this kind of quality out of a TV budget? He seriously needs to start sharing his tricks for future generations.
>>150752430Some how.....
>>150752492>Fang is coming backAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>150752512In the past, when you talked about a season 3 in various interviews, the impression I got was that season 3 could potentially be the final season. Has a decision been made about that yet?No. Primal is probably the purest 12-year-old Genndy thing I've ever done. It really speaks to me, and this is exactly the kind of show I would wanna watch. It's what I've trained myself to do from Dexter until now, and it's the best expression of that. So for me, boy, if the world supports it, I'd love to have Primal as the brand, and then every maybe one, two seasons it changes up. What I started to develop...I was like, creation is interesting to me. I was trying to figure something out [with] a female alien, Adam and Eve-type of thing: two creatures born into this world, and we're with them and we are them, and they discover the world, how crazy it is with us. It didn't click beyond that 'cause it felt like the first season of Primal. What's different about it? I couldn't find an answer for that. But the goal is to continually do this type of low-dialogue or no-dialogue storytelling that's based on visuals. It's hardcore and it's pulpy and it's got all those things going for it.https://ew.com/primal-season-3-first-look-zombie-spear-genndy-tartakovsky-11827025
>>150752481That's what I'm saying
>>150752430
>>150752516Ancient technique called "winning a bunch of Emmys and bringing in the views for Warner Bros."
>>150752485Because everyone universally agrees that adding human women was the worst and most boring part of the series.Reviving Spear was the only option.
>>150752430What a weird choice, still hopefully this means no continuity and we just get fun zombie spear episodes
>>150752474That's actually a decent guess. He drank the Aku juice in Season 1. Seemed like he then burnt that out of his system, but what if he only MOSTLY burnt it out of his system? "Aku juice makes you get back up as a zombie after you die" seems like something it'd plausibly do.
>>150752606See >>150752492it's a continuation.
>>150752480>>150752492>>150752512>>150752524I like the idea of it being a surrealist thing where you don't know if anything happening is real or not. I hope they play into that a lot.
>>150752637>El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Spear
>>150752474ok how does he turn asian
Genndy lost me with Unicorn and Fixed but he's reeling me back in. He better not fuck it up.
>>150752516Genndy's animation style has always been slow static images followed by swift action, rapid camera movements, and fast cuts. All of which are actually a way to save money, as each shot has shorter animation that is easier to do. Samurai Jack was like that, and is why it was allowed to look like that back in the day. Dexter even did that, but with jokes rather than action scenes. Adult Swim probably keeps giving him show because he makes them look expensive when in reality they are cheap. They don't even have to hire expensive voice actors as there's no dialogue beyond gibberish.
>primal season 3>with spear coming back as an actual zombievery funny genndy
I don't like Zombie Spear because I liked the ending he had....
>>150752561>Because everyone universally agrees that adding human women was the worst and most boring part of the series.Only if you hate fun
>>150752485Probably for some zombie magic gang wars. We already know there's magic and spiritual hax in the setting
How much you wanna bet Spear will get more and more banged up as the season goes on, only because he's dead his body won't heal so he'll be wearing himself down with each encounter?
>>150752430HAHAHAHAHAAH GENNDY OUT HERE CONTINUING TO DUNK ON THE ENTIRE ANIMATION INDUSTRY SUCK A FAT ONE /CO/
>>150752430watch this somehow be the either the worst season of primal or the best one, no inbetween
>>150752485Touched by bad juju, maybe it's the Ape Juice, who knows.Dollars to donuts his daughter is going to be the one that kills him again.
ZOMBIE CAVEMEN IN HYPERBOREAN HELL
>>150755370I remember... my god I remember...
>>150755921I miss Primal threads, can't wait for the show to come back
>Literally brought back as a shambling corpsePottery.
>>150755956I hope they're as fun as last time.
