There's plenty of shows targered to mentally ill teenager girls.
But what about mentally ill teenager boys?
>>
>>154200922
Flashgitz in general are really good at what they do, even if they use their power to make stupid shit. Just looking at how episodes were structured, the dialog, theming and characters arcs and shit compared to TADC and Gameoverse really drives home how much better they are at it.
Also propts to them for remaining independent all this time even in an environment hostile to animation without needing to sign on with a giant like Amazon.

The stuff they sell is pretty good. I got the lunchbox with the lighter (and they gave everybody a free second cup), plus The Thing style T-shirt from episode 4. Advice on the clothing. Whatever you buy is in fat boy feel good sizes. I ordered an XL because I'm like L/XL depending on brand and it was like a XXL or XXL. I love the design but it's become a full on girlfriend shirt.

considering this an argument is why Millenial "originality" is just "doing the same shit but with ironic detachment".
>>

it's just a goofy show man you're looking too much into it, also let's not pretend 40k is this deep thing either
>>
>>154202387
> you're looking too much into it
my take is quite surface level actually, and 40k doesn't have to be "deep" to not be retarded.
You don't even have to dig at all to have a lot more scathing things to say about SK, given how they describe it as a show that "doesn't hate your male power fantasies but embraces them". The creators say that basically verbatim at the end of the pilot, man. It doesn't take a degree to pick that apart and find it fucking sad.
>>

This shtick has gotten old over the past decade. It's not about "seriousness", it's a lack of sincerity.
>>
>>154202521
they are sincere in making a Saturday morning cartoon parody of 40k there now stop thinking it's anything more than that because it's not
they even said they don't want to have some subversive thing like having spaceking not exist or be some deadbeat douche for example so that's sincere
>>
>>154202521
I get what you're saying but you're applying it to the wrong thing. Space King's humor being crude doesn't make it insincere. They took the structure of an old Saturday morning cartoon and added a bit of shock value. There's no preachiness or cynical attempts at subverting expectations to make the viewer feel like an idiot. In fact, Space King plays many classic cartoon tropes completely straight.
>>
>>154202530
> a Saturday morning cartoon parody of 40k
yes, a "parody". Why a parody? Because that is all they can do. Why? Because
> Millenial "originality" is just "doing the same shit but with ironic detachment".
>>154202572

Isn't the point of indie animation to break away from corporate slop? making your whole brand Warhammer kinda undermines that. Even past Warhammer ripoffs like Warzone or Deadzone avoided that by having a unique setting but Space King doesn't even try.

Also as a 40k fan I find the designs of the psycho warriors just kinda boring. Space marines have variety. The most difference you'll see between the psycho warriors is just wearing a cloak or having different colors. Maybe their helmets are open or not open. It's pretty hard to tell them apart at times and their personalities could all be swapped with another and I think nobody would notice a difference.
>>
>>154201020
Unless I'm misunderstanding, they fucked up with Terry because apparently the joke is supposed to be that he's boring and it's silly to imagine Bryce being jealous of him...but he's not boring; within seconds of being introduced he solves a problem in a funny way and mocks Bryce for complaing about it.

>>154206092
You're very much misunderstanding. Bryce is an insecure nerd who comes up with needlessly complicated solutions to problems while Terry comes up with ones that are extremely simple and work, which causes Bryce to burn with jealously. That's it. That's the joke. It has nothing to do with Terry being "boring".
>>
>>154206065
one psycho has only teeth for a visor lol
but in my opinion they should make use of the bulkiness of the suits and come up with weird shit like tank treads or arms cannons or like suit that can turn to a missal or something
>>
>>154202626
They really do face action/adventure situations and have to fight their way out of them with wits and violence. It's a comedy but it's also a legit action show. Like Venture Bros.

I also cant tell if space king is trying to be a 40k parody or a in general indie cartoon parody. If it had just picked one or the other I think it would make for more humor thats relatable. This show shouldve been about the space king himself for a while much like how in 30k we got to see a lot of the emperor doing stuff. He could've then fucked off wherever and let the psycho warriors do their shtick. From the offset it just seems like theres no focal point of reference on if this series had ever had a focus on some greater story.

That's youtube censorship which they think is silly (the blood guys armor is lined with spikes that poke them; it's not very gorey but youtube required it blacked out). The patreon versions are uncensored.

I watched 3 episodes of space king. I went into it expecting a 40k parody. What i got was incoherent lolrandom humor.
I want a comedy action show to have something to think about. Im a 32 year old man. Immaturity can only do so much for me. There's got to be something more to it. Like how 40k humor can come from unexpected places. For example the Tau were trying to find a way to kill Orks at birth.

Despite their looks and role, the Psycho Warriors are children who are scared and angry because their dad has abandoned them. Captain was thrust into his role and he is growing out of necessity into the big brother who is looking out for his siblings. Bryce is showing signs of mentally evolving past a child by showing a greater interest in tits. Yukon is visually the oldest Psycho Warrior so far and he has grown into his own man. He is chasing his own goals instead of running after his dad.

It's deliberately trying to be a culture war shibboleth hence why so much of the discussion is about how it btfos other indie shows and many of the show's jokes rely on referencing real world politics.

What they said was that they don't want Terry around much, because it would be boring if a hyper-competent character just effortlessly solved every problem, which is basically what Terry risked doing, because he's not completely nuts.

Different would be something like Mutant Chronicles or Deadzone where the setting and game both borrow a lot of conventions from Warhammer but otherwise deliberately try to do their own thing. Space King is just Warhammerslop, the Psycho Warriors are Space Marines, they have chapters like Space Marines, they hunt for relics like Space Marines and every episode is just "oh dude they're parodying this thing from Warhammer epic refrenceerino!"

literally beyond the psychos nothing really feels like 40k hell the globules alone makes it different since they are like upgrades gene seeds amped to eleven, if you don't like it fine but for fucksake if you want le proper 40k parody then fucking make one yourself
