This show feels like it was factory made to be popular. Nothing about it feels organic
>>152916366Glitch is fucked without TADC
Welcome to post television media
>>152916366I wonder how many gen alpha kids first sexual awakenings are gonna be to pomni
>>152916366>Nothing about it feels organicdefine this proeprly
>>152916366Yeah, those are words.
>>152916384Not OP but digital circus' popularity feels astroturfed to shit with the constant over praise for something that is barely decent
>>152916384its a mystery box but the broad strokes are obvious, so it's solvable but it tests your expectations just enough to feel satisfying and exciting at the same time, and it's for kids but they swear a little bit and use big words so kids will eat it up cause they want to feel like they're watching something for adults
i don't know how this shit gets tens of millions of views per episode. it's insane. never seen anything like it on youtube before.
>>152916366The writer was raised on cartoons and doesn't know how real human beings behave and interact. The writing emulates other cartoons and not normal human behavior. Animation was a mistake.
>>152916434Isn't this show based on books and games?>>152916410Bright colors attracting iPad kids
>>152916398I swear every time an episode is released people gush about muh levels of details and muh philosophy
Someone should make an unpopular show, that would be a real hit right now
>>152916453>Isn't this show based on books and games?It's very broadly inspired by I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (baby's first AI/VR story) but the dialog and characters and tropes are just kids cartoons.
>>152916366>Nothing about it feels organicits digital...
>>152916434i wonder how the world will be when every human growing up now is not raised on works made by actual human beings and is instead being raised on animated online shows? i doubt this world will exist soon because of it. every child growing up now is watching tung tung sahur and tadc on their ipads while their drug addicted mothers suck their landlords cock so they can afford rent for next month. just an awful time that we're living in. might be time for iran to consider killing us all. that would be more dignified than this earth continuing to exist as is.
>>152916541>>152916434KekJust wait until the kids start being raised on AI slop (if they aren't already)
>>152916374>Glitch ends up breaking the finale into 9 separate parts that are 5 mins each, stretched out for another 3 years
>>152916559on tiktok there is a series probably made by some jeet titled 'fruit ai love island' yes it's exactly what it sounds. just anthropomorphic fruits in a love island setting and it's getting MILLIONS OF VIEWS AND LIKES. even adults aren't escaping this shit. mgs2 was right in saying that there needs to be quality control over the internet. this shit isn't working out at all. humans are disgusting.
>>152916541>i wonder how the world will be when every human growing up now is not raised on works made by actual human beings and is instead being raised on animated online shows? i doubt this world will exist soon because of it.There's going to be a huge divide in competency and interests with Gen A. Some parents have completely shielded their kids from the illiteracy crisis, and raised them on old media. Those kids are going to actually be the successful ones of their generation, so they're being raised on oddly Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb, and old Hana Barbera cartoons. Then various different types of media of their choosing (Gargoyles, New Ducktales, and old duck tales are also pretty popular). Those pure iPad kids (the roblox and skibidis) won't have a voice in their generation, because they'll be too stupid to communicate with even each other. If you look at the comments under short videos they gravitate towards you can see the problem already. I think TADC is 12+ but mostly Gen A teens actually, because those kids have access, interest (not roblox, subway surfers, or pov shorts), a slightly higher attention span then the younger kids, and have realized how fucked they are attention span and intelligence wise so they're trying to do anything they view as 'having more substance.' But the actually competent Gen A kids aren't watching TADC, unless they have an overall interest in animation and parental access to youtube.
>>152916664i think the world will still collapse anyways. the majority of these children will still be raped by big ipad and whatever tranny brainrot nonsense is in them. i barely escaped it myself. i'm 22. was lucky enough to atleast be raised on shit like single player games and when i got a computer i watched and played stuff that appealed to the human animal. stuff that had loads of violence, sex, and other cool shit in them. i got an ipad around the age of 13 maybe but i wasn't interested in it at all and put it away. i still came out of that dysfunctional and weird but i still feel like a human being for the most part, i think. but even babies are having ipads shoved into their faces nowadays because everyone on earth is some fucking stupid pig hybrid now that can't even take care of their children. sorry for that small tangent. i get angry when i consider the poor state of the world.
>>152916366>This scripted show feels like it was scripted, nothing about it feels organic.anon discovers 'writing'.
>>152916664All the kids need our help
>>152916366This show is highly satanic because it was made by a trannysexualised AND THEY KILL GOD
>Nothing about it feels organicyou're telling me a cartoon about talking animals and dolls trapped in a computer world run by a crazy AI isn't organic?noooooooo really
>>152916473>~13-yr old target audince>Thinks mid shit is deepWhat's the point of not gatekeeping if none of the kids listen to the people who were into this shit since their parents were in diapers?
>>152916366You just had to say that this cartoon isn't for you. I don't love the show, but I totally get why so many are huge fans of it. Can't a show be popular anymore?
>>152916366>This show feels like it was factory made to be popular. Nothing about it feels organicWhat does that even fucking mean. Is this an ai post?
>>152916366Of course it’s not organic, it’s digital.
>>152919569Personally I only watch shows from my grandfather's farm
>>152916366I don't get it. Nome of the popular toons of the 2020s looked like TADC. What trends and art styles did it pull from to make you feel this way?
>>152916541>i wonder how the world will be when every human growing up now is not raised on works made by actual human beings and is instead being raised on animated online shows? i doubt this world will exist soon because of it.suicide rates will rise. a child killed themselves over the new cookie run update thats entire meesage was "if you kill yourself, life gets better"
>>152916382Better than having their first sexual awakening be some "empowered" femdom amazon dommy mommy girlboss
>>152916366Hazbin Hotel feels more factory made than TADC. I will stand with my statement.
>>152916511I feel like there are at least a dozen or more (almost certainly more) works that are more prominent within TADC's lineage than IHNMAIMS. Starting with Ian Banks, the The Matrix.
>>152916366>>152916384I think I know what he means. Whether or not it is, this is also my opinion on it anyway.TADC is made by a particular type of person whose life was oversaturated with media growing up. You see this all over the place. All their core memories are memorable setpieces from media, not personal experiences, so when they go about making their own material, they tend to think purely in terms of regurgitating those moments with not a lot of focus on what happens between them. It can come off as cynically calculating, when in reality it's just borderline autistic. Doesn't help that we already know the creator spent so much time online they became a tranny. That's the vibe I get from TADC.
>>152920779>the new cookie run update thats entire meesage was "if you kill yourself, life gets better"Seriously?
>>152921072This
>>152917361Buddy not everybody writes according to a calculation of what will be popular. Expression, artistic merit, emotion and various other things drive the passion of writers.Do you think famous writers like Tolstoy were all millionaires
>>152921127The majority of Cookie run users are from South Korea and Japan. Accurate. That makes sense.
>>152916541Want a spoiler? It's not the whole world. It's just our societies. Most of the world will have a new dark age in the next 100 to 200 years after our welfare systems are exhausted by third worlders and the technocrats learn the hard way they can't rule over people that no longer have any incentive to not kill them and take their shit. Meanwhile, they'll be growing the same crops and eating the same animals they've been living off of in Afghanistan for the past ten thousand years.
>>152916366I blame algorithms. Nothing ever truly grows organically anymore because of algorithms.
>>152916541TADC kinda does reak of made by a person who doesn’t speak to many people. Goose definitely understands himself and his own struggles. The Gangle episode is his struggle of being an artist, Zooble represents his gender dysphoria, etc. But he just can’t seem to write outside his own Bubble (kek).As a result the characters don’t really feel like people, they feel like different parts of the same person, himself.
>>152916384it was made when i was a kid
>>152921072inventing a strawman isn't actually critique
>>152919466Anon is confused and upset and having an Abe Simpson moment because kids don't like the same things he liked growing up
>>152916366Thousands of things every year are factory made to be popular. We exist in a capitalist society where things are made to generate as much profit as possible. 99% of them fail. The 1% that succeed are successes in spite of being factory made.
>>152921072>made by a particular type of person whose life was oversaturated with media growing up. You see this all over the place. All their core memories are memorable setpieces from media, not personal experiences, so when they go about making their own material, they tend to think purely in terms of regurgitating those moments with not a lot of focus on what happens between them.You're describing Tex Avery
>>152916366>why is something trying to be appealing!? what kind of crazy shit is this!
>>152916366Example of an organic show?
>>152921268Plenty of cartoons were inauthentic toy commercials growing up.>>152921297>>1529213101. Stop samefagging 2. We’ve seen the “kids growing up with it makes the difference” theory fail already. Male zoomers remember Steven Universe as the fat retard show and that was one of the big shows.
>>152921346Ren and Stimpy, Samurai Jack, Richard Williams’ personal work - pure authenticity.
>>152918508We need an official name for this clinically insane anon
>>152921371saying a show is bad because you suspect the people who might like it are cringe is the worst possible critique you can possibly create when did people who refuse to engage with media get so self important about their opinions
>>152921182>not everybody writes according to a calculation of what will be popularPeople trying to make a living off of it do.>Do you think famous writers like Tolstoy were all millionaires.Tolstoy was born to one of the wealthiest noble families in Russia and he was raised in a life of extreme comfort after his parents passed. He became a count in the Russian aristocracy and married another member of the nobility. His vast inherited fortune let him live a life of extreme comfort and privilege and go into writing. It was not until the 1890s, over 20 years after finishing his magnum opus, War and Peace, and in the midst of a crumbling marriage and a strained relationship with his children that Tolstoy claimed to have a 'spiritual reawakening' and started to reject much of his vast personal fortune. At the time he began dividing up assets among his family, he had inherited a vast palatial estate of some 4000 acres, and his net worth was estimated at 550,000 rubles in 1890 (the equivalent of about $15M USD today).
>>152921542> People trying to make a living off of it do.You have already conceded that writing for money is not the only type of writing. People tend to forget about things written that way after the current year.>wikipedia-brainedSo you merely emphasize my point that classic writers didn’t write by profit calculation since he didn’t need it anyway.You lack reading comprehension and yet want to lecture people about writing - must be getting some useless degree associated with that.
>>152921386And why do you feel TADC is less authentic?
>>152916374If anything, the end will be great for anything they make next. Sure, maybe they'll never top TADC's pilot, but Michael Jackson never topped Thriller and he still had success afterwards that most other performers would kill for
>>152916608searched up and what the fuckits botted views, 100%, i refuse to believe there are people out there who watch this bullshit, not even normies
>>152921602>You have already conceded that writing for money is not the only type of writingYeah, but unless you're born into wealth it is the only type of writing that pays the bills.>wikipedia-brainedDon't get butthurt just because you assumed Tolstoy lived a life of poverty and couldn't be bothered to take 10-20 seconds to make sure.>must be getting some useless degree associated with that'My degree is better than yours!' is the last refuge of the desperate. If you really want to play that game I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours, but you'll be very disappointed.
>>152916374>Paul McCartney is fucked without The Beatles
how to be successful indie animated show:1. take existing cult classic2. make it gay and retarded3. profit
>>152921755A whole lot of projection dude.Ren and Stimpy wasn’t a calculation of financial success, John K pissed off a lot of people and got fired. It was massively successful anyway because it was good, real and innovative.I’m currently reading Tolstoy which is why I named him and you’re evading that you merely proved my point.I have no degree aside from learning things online.
>>152921831>take existing work>apply a fresh coat of paintThere are only seven original stories. Everything else is a remake.
>>152916374Yeah, nothing else they have going on at the moment comes remotely close to TADC's engagement and popularity.>>152916473Murder Drones happened to make autistic brains tingle, but it wasn't made with that purpose in mind. Now, TADC was tailor-made for autistic people to hyperfocus on it.That's why you see so much content being generated when a new episode airs.
>>152921985>Yeah, nothing else they have going on at the moment comes remotely close to TADC's engagement and popularity.>>152921746
All that I see it's how a lot of /co/ autists are super mad at the Quirky autistic tranny that invented the most popular show in a decade, all because they all abandoned their dreams many years ago while she is living the dreamYour webcomic is not going to be a thing just by hating her anon. You better search for a job you are already 30
>>152921809>Paul’s solo career crashes and burns
>>152919569It's qualityslop
>>152922168>herA transgender can’t live the dream by default because their natural identity was too difficult for them to preserve. “Based” or not, they’re still on a reversed course from fulfilling who they were born as.
>>152922190Paul is still releasing new songs and albums 55 years after The Beatles broke up, and 40% of his #1 hits are from songs released after.That's not nothing.
>>152916473>muh levels of details and muh philosophyI mean obviously you can't expect that kind of conversation from capeshit
>>152922324Love yourself
at first i wanted to have sex with pomni but i dunno, ragatha is really growing on me. ragatha feels like she needs more protecting. i want her
>>152922449Cope, faggot
>>152921831yeah this never happened before indie animation
>>152921831That's literally the disney renaissance formula
>>152922476Cope with what? The overwhelming success of the show?
>>152922471>Hey, Ragatha, Gangle's looking for the rest of...>*Pomni sees Ragatha doing this*>... herself...
>>152922324Does that apply to minmodu too?
>>152921182have you ever watched a tv show in your life?
>>152916664The skibidi kids are often vicious autists with severe parasolical attatchement and - importantly - moralfaggotry. And I'm not talking about them being "chuds". Liberal zoomers are constantrly dogpiling other liberals over shit like their fetishes being "problematic" or THAT TRANIME CHARACTER WAS SEVENTINO AND A HALF YOU SICK FUCK. Imagine what happens when this shit flows into the real world? I think they WILL have a say in shit that's gonna happen because this kind of pure irrational anger can often drive even most retarded people into high places. A new kind of liberal cognitive dissonance censorship (social and political) is looming.
>>152921182You sound like the kind of faggot who would complain that people didn't like his shitty student art film because it was "too deep" for them.
>>152916366So like anything Glitch related?
>>152922324ok Niggerman
>>152916384The creator clearly grew up in fandom spaces and carefully studied the archetypes and tropes that appear.They then made a whole show around these archetypes and tropes being acknowledged and toyed with, much to the glee of the viewers who ALSO know about these archetypes and tropes, and its all one big circle jerk about fandom.
C&A is acquired by Playtime Co.
>>152923439>there is not only this one type of artist, there are multiple types >therefore, you must fit one of those typesNo, I just encourage proper understanding.>>152923242I explained how different Ren and Stimpy was earlier. If not for John giving the middle finger to executives it would have been a lot harder to develop indie productions like TADC.>>152923475Lovecraft taught me how to process my life seeming like an existential nightmare as a teen, before TADC made it cool
>>152916374They have Homestuck in the works
>>152916366The kid-friendly design sells it.
>>152923550Neon Genesis Evangelion did the same thing and people call that a masterpiece
>>152921072That was obvious since the first episode with the whole poppy's playtime and backrooms aesthetic.
>>152916374They really are. Expect Glitch to go overboard in new merch items and promotion leading up to the Amazing Digital Circus finale. All their upcoming stuff won't amass even a FRACTION of what TADC pulled in
>>152916384Writing seems designed for shock value with surface level "deep writing"Episodes always end with some sort of cliffhanger or shocking event to drive discussionVery cutsie artstyle to appeal to childrenSwearing to appeal to teenagers, meta humor to appeal to millennialsNostalgia baiting with win 95 era aestheticsI'm nta but in general it does feel like it's purpose built to get streamer types to talk about it or video essayists.
>>152916374Every Glitch show I have seen is about gore, evil, hate, oppression, evil capitalism, god is evil, demonic things, sadness, etc.TADC is the only one I like (in fact I adore it because the cast puts the best talent and love and music into it) and it makes me massively suspicious the entire purpose of Glitch is Demonic-ish and I would not be surprised if it's connected to Roblox and Homestuck and the next generation of PizzaPartyIslandFiles if you know what I mean.Yes the artists are working hard to make a multilayered story with relatable characters using psychology anyone who is neurodivergent could relate to but the general Glitch company has that pattern if you know where I am going.Still love Amazing Digital Circus though along with the music and it's animation and story and characters. Doesn't mean I can't acknowledge something is suspicious when everything is always leading down a certain path.
The fans of this show are the worst for such a decent show. They act like it's the second coming.
>>152924382>Every Glitch show I have seen is about gore, evil, hate, oppression, evil capitalism, god is evil, demonic things, sadness, etc.watch sunset paradise
>>152924382Glitch is gonna learn like Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network that just because people like one show, doesn't mean they are just gonna watch anything they put out, especially if it's shit we were trying to avoid in the regular industry already. They will probably also have to accept defeat on one of the shows and cancel them. Digital Circus was their SpongeBob, so I really don't get what they are going to do. The other shows are too dark, violent and too niche to get a big audience. They really should have tried something else that kids and adults can both watch together like Digital Circus if they wanted more hits. I can tell you right now Gaslight District will be like an indie Invader Zim, some people will be obsessed with it but it won't be mainstream. Dana's show will do okay, and Arin Hanson's show looks like dogshit and won't do well at all. Lackadaisy is a wild card. I guess we'll see where that goes.

>>152924079It literally did not.Mecha shows have always been rife with tragedy and interpersonal struggles.Evangelion is just the first time most mericans watched a show with big robots have any emotions, most never watched Gundam or just anything from Tomino.
>>152924690I bet you're one of those people that unironically describe the The Divine Comedy as a "self-insert fantasy".
>>152924690>all fiction takes fandom into accountThis board cannot not real.You niggas really do just watch baby shows and nothing else.
>>152916846You're not alone, man. Trust me. Plenty of us are still trying. 26 myself.
>>152922190Fuck you John.
>>152924960>This board cannot not real.its a fact, nobody creates anything in a vacuum
>>152924985You're implying that the concept of people online drawing fan art and shipping characters and making fan fiction has been a thing not just for some stories but every single story in history.Look me in eye and try to tell me that No Country For Old Men is a story about fandom without smirking.
>>152923349Well-poisoning slime. Yeaah keep making the prison stronger for your fellow inmates. Yeaaah that's the brave thing. Debasing them; that's the way to strengthen a dying world! You need to think about this stuff seriously. All that you are is the product of your actions. Do you think jerking off all the time and typing in such a manner to let people know you're relaxed, kind of stupid, and irresponsible.. will make you seem relatable? Yeah, to people who will never be worth your time. Stop holding yourself back and making excuses. It's up to you alone to maintain a moral foundation. Externalizing your insecurities on the perceived failings of others to help you see the wrongs in your thinking isn't going to convince them to stop caring, it isn't going to magically make people liberal or schizo or fucking nazi. It just makes it obvious that what you want to do is grow as a person but are too unconfident and lazy and inconsiderate to yourself to do so. The first step to actually being a mature adult and learning how to break free of mental traps that hold you back is stop jerking off all the time and being a debased arrogant dickhead poser. Seth Rogen isn't going to present you with Toker of the Year Award for posting this stuff. It's just an excuse for yourself. None of our lives are affected by your mistakes and poor judgement.
>>152916374It’ll be a case of Gaslight being a dip, whilst the other three just take way too long to finish even if Lackadaisy or Gameoverse’s pilots knock it out of the park, but Circus being successful enough to ride the wave. Like how Nintendo could take a hit after the Wii’s success.The real test is how their next 3D project after Gaslight does.
>>152924715>NGE mentioned>always some fucker coming up with "muh Tomino"Tomino was trash and so was his writing, and his shows. Whatever Gainax and Anno took from him is irrelevant since the matter is one of quality.I also don't think TADC's succes and/or notoriety has anything to do with its meta relation to tropes or fandom. The direct surface-level of the show tickles children & manchildren's fancy, before any sort of second-order thinking about its place in culture comes in.

The inclusion of these features is formulaic - what's been accomplished with the process is that they tossed them in as separate bits, probably after seeing that people liked them in other works. You can tell they held zero consideration for why those parts of the whole worked because they put them together like they were chasing a bottom line instead of just setting out to make a good production.If they did that, it could be called organic. Instead we're here with this sloppy mash of whatever-works, tacking things together by formula.This shit's not complicated, just try figuring it out yourself.
>>152928847>It's not exactly a stretch to figure out that he means the narrative structuring, which is normally what you use to framework the separate bits of the episode, is put together mimicking things that are actually profound.

Do they do anything else? Is there an episode that actually concisely concludes the the subplot it started?complaining that a drama ends on a cliffhanger is like complaining a comedy ends on a jokehow in your end do you think this is some kind of reasonable complaint? honestly it just sounds like you're confused that this show isn't a comedy that was meant to go on for 1000 episodes
>>152916366>This show feels like it was factory made to be popular. Nothing about it feels organicCoagulation to enter the nothingness barren modern world You will be trapped here till your end
>>152928998>but what is it mimicking? do you even know?No, and I don't need to. I am explaining the very basic thing that's already been defined by someone else.The content is formulaic instead of organic, and you can tell this by how the bits of it do not mesh. This has been pointed out to you already, but it seems like you need it explained to you. I'm not doing that. Go learn what narrative design is, it's a step up from media literacy classes but you might manage it.>how in your end do you think this is some kind of reasonable complaint? You got done dirty by whoever told you to think you can't observe something and decide to make a point about it. Same for when you were told anytime someone puts effort in to address something, that's the same thing as complaining.>it just sounds like you're confused that this show isn't a comedyMan, that's all you get from today? lmaoTry reading the words on the page. Don't ask someone else what something's supposed to mean. Figure things out on your own.You could probably unfuck yourself if you go read through the experiences of other people. Odds are there's a lot of common ground to be had, and that you could learn the same lessons they did.
>>152916366You should watch Murder Drones then instead of complaining.
>>152916366It's just qualityslop. People think that just because the show is good, means that it's good.
>>152916366While Pomni's design is absolutely 100% refined and optimized algorithmbait, the rest is just Gooseworx ripping off Toby Fox.
>>152929265>Watch this slop insteadHow about no? I suggest going back to your dead thread to samefag some more, lil gup.
>>152916366Funny that. I remember watching the pilot while it was still at <5,000 views because I'd seen WIP clips of it beforehand from the animator who did that one Doofenshmirtz meme. When I finished it I'd already written off its fate as another unfunny "quirky horror" curio for deviantart teens to slaver over, doomed to meet the same production hell as Monkey Wrench in the foreseeable future. Maybe I'm just not autistic or zoomerbrained enough to see the potential at the time, but I don't think I'd eaten as much crow as I had in the next sixteen hours after that.
>>152916366It's qualityslop, we only like it because it's good.
>>152929521You don't know about Homestuck and it shows.
>>152921809Yes
>>152929544But it's not good
>iPad babies are now old enough to be fully cognizant and post about their experiences on 4chinzAnd they say this website doesn't get new blood
Gangle was suicidal and tried to kill herself by jumping in front of a car. Jax was the driver.
>>152922005Both the pilot for Gaslight District and the one for KoG are doing worse not only than TADC, but also MD. Gameoverse's pilot isn't out yet, but looks like generic Newgrounds slop.
>>152916366>you should make a show with zero appeal to anyone insteadmake it make sense
>>152929806Newgrounds slop is the best slop there is
>>152929095>i want to write a word salad but i don't want to explain a anythingyeah you got nothing dudeit would be more honest if you said fuck off and left it at thatcrazy someone can feel like a genius when you don't actually engage with the stuff you're so opinionated about
>>152916384Artificially good
>>152924773It literally is and suggesting otherwise is pretentious litfag cope
Remember, /co/ is proveably filled with seething failed cartoonists and demoralized corposlop industrycucks, they have to make thselves feel better about their own situation by shitting on anyone who is more successful than them, in this case Gooseworx.
>>152930183explain why self inserting is bad
>>152916366>This show feels like it was factory made to be popularBecause it was. Gooseworx and the rest of the Glitch team are very internet+fandom savvy and knowledgeable of the sort of aesthetics and lore-bait gen Z (and younger millennials) are obsessed with. Everything about TADC's characters and setting and mood were all crafted to capture the audience downstream of things like Homestuck and FNAF while actively encouraging them to build a similar fandom around it. The setting and meaning of everything is kept vague enough that it keeps people guessing and debating and posting their theories, while the writing and dialogue and pacing are all very simple and "kids show" because if they give any characters or situations TOO much depth it'll turn people away. The characters only have just enough "depth" to encourage fan fiction and shipping. It all worked flawlessly and was even more successful than they anticipated. Frankly, in both design and execution, the entire project is incredibly cynical.
>>152930234I didnt say it was bad, but litfags pretend its more than it is just because it was written a long time ago as if people back then are inherently more worthy of praise or something.
>>152930183>>152930265Try gaining some culture beyond social media memesThe people who liked to rant about “old white men being racist” did not actually understand the beautiful intricacies of thousands of years of literature that often require Christian faith to see>>152930231I do not consider a path which requires renouncing your sex to be “success.” I work on my own series that cowed a lot of industry folk who used to send me nasty messages on here, etc. They recognize my merit and that my debut is coming.The mere fact that status climbers like you like to jack off about screwing over random people you don’t know when cartoon projects taste any success was good enough reason to revoke my cartoon skills completely before a few years ago.
Who cares? It will be forgotten within 2 years, like MD. Call me when you make a show that will be remembered for generations to come.Surely artfags here will understand the importance of leaving some sort of legacy, right?
>>152930300Absolute gigacope. You got mogged by a tranny and youre mad because you hate trannies, end of story. Also, your religion isnt true.
This whole thread is pretentious, fart sniffing drivel. You faggots are bending over backwards to find reasons to hate something just because it's popular.
>>152916608>mgs2 was right in saying that there needs to be quality control over the internet.And to think, when it came out people made fun of MGS2 for its plot being incomprehensible. Now we understand it all too clearly...
>>152930354Arrogant moron. No one likes this freemasonic crap
>>152930384The poorly educated and dysgenic tend to throw words around like "pretentious" quite often. Is moralizing rhetoric pretentious? What dignity is there in degenerating society further for the sake of a short term dopamine rush?
>>152930330Something this popular will not be forgotten in two years, but keep telling yourself that.
>>152930354>hates Christiansyour “opinion” is worthless to me. My work is literally intended to establish American Catholic creativity.>>152930384You doing training wheels for pleasing egos to get a job? If it’s at Glitch, expect reception to their work to get much worse with this sort of careerism coming to them.>>152930387So true
>degenerating societyI think it’s interesting how none of you people actually personally knew someone that used cartoons as a framework for reality, it’s literally only you people who are that unhinged
>>152930390You cant be real. No one comes into a board about a cartoon and started ranting about muh freemasons when the Epstein shit is real. Youre either a troll or belong in a psych ward.
>>152916366It was just written by a woman anon
>>152930423You spend every waking moment defending this show, don't you pal... Oof
>>152930427heh.
>>152916398"Barely decent" is a rarity these days. We get maybe two (2) things at that level per year.
>>152930424Are you medically retarded? There's a freemasonic lodge in almost every city in North America, and they are directly implicated in all of the Epstein material by proxy of their relations to the royal family and the Scottish Rite. The Jesters were already caught over a decade ago, silly billy. Do you deny colors exist? Red and blue represent chaos and order; the fusion of opposites. This show adopts so much esoteric crap and spews it out in a lame and simplified way you wouldn't believe it. You cant believe it because you don't read enough to even know this is mainstream accepted fact.
>>152930433I’m saying that all of your wackyshit media doesn’t affect normal people and you low-functioning subhuman autists lack the theory of mind to grasp that, but of course you people also think cartoons are more real than reality itself
I don’t think the show is perfect, but Caine voice actor performance this episode was unironically some Oscar-worthy shit goddam. Makes me wish there was an award in ceremony for internet animation so he could have something to show off
>>152930473I love how you kinds of guys type. You're all so cute thinking you're virtuous in playing retarded children.
>>152930387>"RAIDEN. TURN OFF THE CHILD'S IPAD, NOW!"
>>152930492based brownchad
>>152930481The Jaxfags will kill you for saying thaylt, just warning you
>>152921127NoIt was textbook heroic sacrifice but children are retarded
>>152929432You are missing on some Vickers kino. You are not doing anything rude to be by not watching it. You are only harming yourself.
>a terminally online troon who's pretty good at cartooning makes something that appeals to xir tastes>a lot of terminally online kids get into itIf it was a product intentionally made to be popular, it'd be what WB, Disney, and Netflix and the like are churning out right now. This is authentically cringe.
>>152925890>Literally who?>Dana disney vent project>EGORAPTORGenuinely they will never get another TADC hit unless they partner with someone as eccentric as gooseworx
>>152921064Neal Stephenson influence too
>>152923940The kid-friendly designs are good, but with how much merch they push you'd think they'd make the designs more merch-friendly too. Although Gangle is really the worst offender.>>152929265I think I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes before dropping it.
>>152930265>I didnt say it was bad, but litfags pretend its more than it is just because it was written a long time ago as if people back then are inherently more worthy of praise or something.what are you even talking aboutthe Divine Comedy is far from one of the great stories of old its more liked because the novelty and world building of it allalso this may surprise you, but its also an epic poem. i have to tell you this because it sounds like the only thing you even know from it are the memes
>>152921072Considering that the Circus, itself, was created by a generative AI, this actually works to its advantage.
>>152924715I meant how it was created by someone who grew up in Otaku spaces and knew how to appeal to them
>>152921903>7 original storiesName them.
>>152929095All those words to say absolutely nothing. Fuck off idiot
>>152916483Yes, a bespoke, hand made carefully crafted show intended to be watched by absolutely no one, that's what we need OP is a genius!
>>152916384I'm not sure but it was weird just how ready people were to become rabid fans of the show right from the get go. Like, there was no downtime. It felt like even before the pilot dropped there were a ton of fans.
>>152935586>>152935810Stop samefagging like a homosexual Organic creativity focuses on honest expression instead of meta-gaming what you think people will watch. Starry Night was pure organic creativity. Normally, adults grow out of things designed to sell them cheap plastic trinkets and with other such considerations. This changed with Millennials but the animation field failed with Millenials, too
>>152929265Who is the sex machine next to the central character?
>>152925171>Random insane schizobabble after feeling called outThanks for proving my point I guess?
>>152916366If this were an Adult Swim show, you wouldn't say that
>>152930183You don't seem to grasp the issue here.By apply this contemporary term to literature from over 700 years ago, you're essentially tricking your brain into thinking they're more similar than they really are.The world from 700 years ago is not anywhere near the same world we know today. People thought completely differently, acted differently and connected with art differently.Your pea sized brain cannot comprehend just how vast the world is outside of your little circle of social media memes and cartoons strictly made for 32 year old sheltered american millenials, and I find that sad.
>>152921072> All their core memories are memorable setpieces from media, not personal experiencesThe show is primarily driven by Goose's personal experiences though? That's a big part of the appeal of the show, almost every character represents different character flaws or coping mechanisms the creator has exhibited in the past.The entire fourth episode is about their work experience at McDonalds. Gangle's experience going to design school is based off Goose's. Jax is based off their experience being under-socialized and them struggling with others to fit in as a result. Etc etc etcThis is probably one of the most honest and blatantly personal animated shows many have ever seen.
>Nothing about it feels organicDuh. It's a digital circus.
>>152934802But unlike TADC, Eva still offers a genuine and enchanting experience even after you remove the metatextual stuff from it. The atmosphere of neo-tokyo, the interesting design of the aliens, the obsessive detail on all the tech shit.The appeal of Eva doesn't just stop at "you know genre conventions? well we're about to break em!". A lot of Eva's appeal lies in all the parts where its just a really enchanting setting.Evengelion always saw itself as an addition to the mech genre, not a subversion of it.This is not the attitude of Digital Circus. Everything about the world, to the designs, to the character archetypes screams "THIS IS ALL A JOKE. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PHONY. DO YOU GET IT?"It's gay. I will concede that the therapy session scenes are an exception to this, but the sad part is, its completely undone by the fact that the writing is so inauthentic, so it just comes across as tryhard-y. The one place where Digital Circus tries to be sincere and it fails at it cos its creator don't understand beauty and never lived an actual life outside of internet and "content".
>>152921072I've heard this critique of millennial media from people like Real Life Fake Wizard. Idk if I fully find it to be the problem, but I do agree that there is something to be said about a person who only witnesses life from art and doesn't live it themselves. Art is meant to inspire, and it's good that artists can use that inspiration, commit to actual hard work and make something with it. It almost feels backwards to look at someone's art and say "but the way you're doing it is all wrong", but I will also say in a post-GPT world people forget you do not need an AI to create derivative too-inspired media to the point it feels inorganic or lacking believability.
>>152933854Idk, when I see things like that I groan and roll my eyes. Nothing about that feels like a tool for immersion as much as a means to cut corners. I said that about Danganronpa v3 and will say the same here.
How come nobody talks about the fact that they ripped a song from naple tale and didn't even credit the fucking game?
>>152916366Prime example that capitalism doesn't leas to innovation, but you will never admit to it.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean other people can't.
>>152916374Nope. Gaslight District and the thousands of Mel porn will save Glitch.
>>152922471Artist sauce? Thats really hot
>>152937024Which song?
glitch will just keep milking this show unfortunately
>>152937937Episode 9 just sets up forSEASON 2!!!
>>152937937They will do the normal thing and leave it be as they work on other shows and let TADC merch sales bring them money in the background, and everyone is going to suck their cock and call them revolutionaries for doing this incredibly basic thing.
>>152916374Gaslight District pilot was good. But I guess we're talking about popularity. I actually dunno what is about Digital Circus that caused it to go so viral. And I'm not just talking about what about the actual show is good but simply why it ended up in so many people's youtube recommended when it aired.
>>152922471Imagine how SOFT it must feel...
>>152916434The fact most episodes are "bottle episodes" confirm this.>What if they work in McDonalds?>What if they have guns?
>>152916664>Gen AThere arent "Gen A".The birthrate is too low.By just about every measure, we're much better off than the past, this is why adults are childfree. (YOU) simply don't need children. They are just an unnecessary cost. You can live a happier and better life without that with children. Happier childfree adults are the TRUE audience of tadc
>Tortures your jester
>>152916366>All this because someone you didn't like made a popular show NGMI
>>152935810>a bespoke, hand made carefully crafted show intended to be watched by absolutely no oneI know you're being sarcastic, but it really feels like this was the pitch for a lot of streaming shows this past decade.
>>152916366because it literally was. Colorful wacky characters with a pseudo intellectual plot and muh deep lore are the things autistic people get obsessed with doing it free publicity with stupid theories and over analysis of the most obvious blatant shit imaginable.
>>152924476Both those studios did fine for years and there are people that was nostalgic for godsamn catsog of all shows. Also KoG is triteas hell, Gaslight is going to do fine probably propelled by IZ getting even more clout posthumously. Gameoverse will pull gooners and anyone who likes flavor of the month shtick.
Caine's villain song is such a bop.
I hope Caine comes back and truly embodies AM. Torturing the entire cast non stop using his godly powers for centuries.
Gooseworx made this show just so they can play with their OCs in a dollhouse and make us watch while they force unnatural character development upon them.>woah just like caine with all his random adventures!Exactly, Caine is an analog for the average arrested development millenial artist of the current day like Gooseworx, and the humans (or possibly NPCs) are supposed to be like their dumb little OCs that nobody gives a fuck about.The whole show is one big masterbatory self reflecting on the nature of being a gay tranny making gay stories with gay characters and gay writing.
>>152936240OG anon here. What the hell I thought I was pretty concise and forward with why someone would say "TADC is designed to be popular".Is that guy just a seething underage fan or something? Fuck you can enjoy shitty things, just don't pretend it's some deep analysis of the human condition. Well anyway, thanks for putting up with him in my place at least.
>>152940119Namefags are like that. There’s a reason nobody likes them
>>152916366LOST for zoomers.>bu- but they're nothing alike!Not my problem that you didn't watch both. Seriously the comparison it's so obvious that I'm starting to think into creating a graph with all the stuff the tranny took from that show.
>>152940237>a small main cast, a strange story in an odd setting, and recurring numbers = PLAGIARISMIf that's the case, I doubt LOST was the first to do it and they should probably get sued by whoever was, assuming that work isn't so old that it became public domain before any of us were born...
>>152940268>I doubt LOST was the first to doGilligan's Island has it beat for about 40 years
Is there even a single person on youtube who doesn't glaze this show?I'm not talking somebody giving light criticism I mean is there anybody who actually dislikes the show?
>>152940268There's a fucking button that needs to be pushed in order to save the world and creates conflict between the characters in both shows. Also Jax and Sawyer are virtually the same character, come on now.
>>152940280That's a comedy show retard. Both TADC and LOST are dramatic series with character's flashbacks by each episode.
>>152940346Just search "tadc sucks," you'll find something.>>152940559So add one (1) shared story beat (that I somehow think you're truncating to make your point stronger) and two characters between as many shows that can be described similarly. I saw a review of an episode of Recess once that drew way more similarities between that show and Community.
>>152923895funny for multiple reasons
>bubble is apparently played by a trans woman>bubble is apparently a trans man>A man pretending to be a woman is playing a woman pretending to be a man>it's a dude playing a dude>a dude revealed to be evil and manipulative in the latest episodeWhat the fuck did gooseworx mean by this?
>>152916374this
>>152916384over half of the series is "character analysis" therapy shit and awkward dialogue exchanges (mcdonalds episode is especially bad with this) while ep 7 and 8 rush through explaining all of the lore. Not to mention some plot hole stuff like Caine not summoning Kinger right then and there when he asked where he was, or even seeing him as a threat if he's apparently aware of the fact he's a programmer/threat but deciding not to really do anything about it (him seeing himself as a god it's a good enough excuse, just makes him look like a retard)
>>152930760It's good for edgy aesthetic stuff, nothing else. Underages seriously need to watch and read more (better) stories
>>152916366True
>>152942415>Underages seriously need to watch and read more (better) storiesYou expect too much from the current youth
>>152916410i have not heard of this show outside of that CLOWN PUSSY girl that gets posted every so often
its cuz the audience is toddlers
>>152939430They could’ve been meaner to her, she’s lucky they just blew her fingers off
>>152938131It was the ending which became a viral meme for a week and exposed lots of zoomers and alphas to the series. That's it, it doesn't do anything special besides admittingly being a very well executed story.
>>152916511Besides the decrentralised story structure it doesn't resemble old cartoons very much. It is far too slow and character, or at least dialogue focused
>>152916366Will the ending be a proper ending?Will it have a "?" at the end?Will it be one of those open/metaphorical endings?
>>152916374that
>>152916366>Actual episodes get gorillions of views instantaneously>Fandom content sits a bit under a mil tops after longish periods, but usually sits around average online engagement levels>Even other glitch shows wish they could get that muchIs there any bigger mark of having all those views botted for them than this? I'm sorry, I know it IS popular to a degree, but I can't shake the feeling something fishy is going on here, for reasons I'm sure wouldn't be surprising coming from youtube...
>>152916398What is "decent" to you?
>>152916434I thought you're suppose to seperate fiction from reality? Now it's a problem when it doesn't apply to your tastes.
>>152916664Too long, didn't read.
>>152919466No, if it doesn't validate my politics, it's evil.
>>152916366
>>152946628I think it's more of a skibidti phenomenon where the younguns watching it don't go to engage after and just consume something else
>>152946723But they're kids, anon, why wouldn't they be into the tism lore? Isn't that a huge appeal of stuff like FNAF for them? That series is treated like a perennial Gen Z and Alpha classic and the loreslop vids are like the entire reason.
>>152921746Topping is a sin at this point. We seriously need to end people that think higher = better.
>>152916366You coould say it was digitally manufactured to succeed
>>152921831>He's seething facts workLol
>>152946723This
>>152946753>FNAFBack then kids still cared about fandoms and whatnot. 12 YEARS and counting. Now point me to any of the indie/Glitch shows, that you think will have a fandom which will last at least a decade.
>>152946753The internet being more rabid now than when FNAF 1 came out. Additionally, this hasn't ended just yet so that lore-craving the autists have hasn't quite grown as much as it will once the series is over. That'll be when the explosion of trite lore vids will really hit
>>152916541Its called digital dementia.Millennials and zoomers who are addicted to media are already cognitively declining and underperforming. Its like burnout but you dont even have any skills to show for it. Gen alpha will suffer but the kids who dont consume media will be little genius' by comparison. Consuming media has made us dumber. The cure is to radically limit media consumption and develope tangible skills
>>152946753If they do they do it in groupchats and discords with each other
