I'm still mad
>>154508201About what?
>>154508201>that thing is tiny
>>154508299>She still slobbers on that thang
>>154508201go on /co/, make an alternate fanfic
>>154508201Worst plot twist ever
>>154508201titfuck
>>154508201>the movie that got /co/, tumblr, bluesky, and twitter all going "yeah it would've been better if they'd gone with lesbians, or at least friends.
>that thing is huge
>>154509151Whyt?
>>154508201Very few things feel worse than having your waifu being stuck in a mediocre/shit product.
>>154510060>the movie that got /co/, tumblr, bluesky, and twitter
I´ll forever be mad.
>>154508201When the anti-Disney company creates a movie that features a Disney character parody
>>154510892both are cute
>>154508201>Everyone calls Lucas the gay fish movie>Disney redesigns Ariel in their live action movie>Ruby Gillman and the live action Little Mermaid are slated to be released in JuneWow they really dropped the ball thereThey could've had the people who wanted a gay fish people storyThey could've subverted the expectation of DreamWorks making the parody of a Disney character a villain They could've made Chelsea the likable light skin redhead mermaid in contrast to the Disney remakeThey could've made the light skin redhead mermaid gay as in your face "we did first" to Disney who probably wanted to make Ariel gayThey could've made the protagonist gay to hopefully have the checkmark of "First DreamWorks movie with a gay protagonist" out of the wayThey could've told the artist who designed Connor as himself "go fuck yourself you self-inserting freak"They could've had a movie that was more than just bad girl is bad
i dont get what is not liked, i enjoyed this movie as i saw it recently and i like vain mean girls, do you not like she becomes a water monster? because she can switch between forms at will
>>154510060With what movie left us with anything would've been better
>>154511140Indeed she´s cute!
>>154511140It was just very generic overall. Especially coming right after The Last Wish and The Bad Guys, when it seemed like DreamWorks was on the verge of a renaissance. A lot of people went in hoping for more than what the trailers promised, but the movie turned out to be exactly what it advertised. I still enjoyed it more than most simply for: cute girls doing cute things. Was hoping for a TV series since DreamWorks are consistently good when it comes to those but I guess it's not meant to be.
>>154511140It's more the fact that out of nowhere with no foreshadowing they pull the "actually she was that ancient enemy all along and not her daughter" plot twist. It's really poorly done
>>154511140Twist villain for the sake of having a twist villain. Even worse because it made the (based) racist grandma 100% correct.
>>154510824people are capable of using multiple websites.
>>154511139yeah it could have been something that felt like old DreamWorks had they reduced human roles by 90%
>>154508201>All the shipping art is retroactively /ll/Uhh, based?
>>154508201>Your racist grandmother is right
>>154511256>>154509138I feel like it would have been better if Chelsea had been forced into being a villain by her mother and wasn't really into seeking revenge. Then you kind of run into this nice theme of both her and Ruby needing to reject the beliefs of their parents and deciding for themselves to let old hatreds live or die. What's the opposite of passing the torch? Forging your own path?
>>154508201That was one of the first movies that showed how companies just move on from idea to idea throw as many scenes together as they can and make up the story as they go along
>>154511140Imagine making a movie that has all the ingredients to be great and then fumbling it at the finish lineit's one of those
>>154512324It's literally all the same shit nowadays. You think /co/ is against tumblr or Bluesky shit despite having numerous threads pertaining to series that cater to that crowd? Ruby Gillman was a shit movie from its concept and the only thing people lament about it is that they weren't lesbians in a time where that shit was prevalent in media.
>>154511139Or not do any of that and make a good movie instead of catering to your yuricuck fetish?
>>154513193go ahead then make a serviceable plot out of OP that doesn't involve yuri
>>154508201ew she looks like a rejected nortubel character
>>154508201I am mad we never saw her feet
>>154511124Kek
>>154508201>Sets up interesting plot point about the cycle of hatred and how the next generation need not fall into the same conflicts and grudges as the last>"lol just kidding I'm actually completely evil and not even a kid at all. Everything your racist grandma said is right and I'm literally the same person as the mermaid that fought her so there's literally zero nuance to me as a villain."I literally cannot comprehend how anyone thought this was better than the original script where she was the daughter of the mermaid queen and was fighting Ruby because her grandma killed her mother.
>>154514812sure they did
>>154513193>make a good movieYou mean like how DreamWorks did? oh wait they didn't
>>154515850
>>154513193This movie literally would've been better as yuri.
Yeah, fuck this shit.
>>154516195it's 40 works out of 166 total works in the ruby gillman fandom, using the Ruby Gillman/Chelsea Van Der Zee tag
>>154516329
>>154516329Excluding crossovers, the Ruby Gillman fandom has 99 works, and out of those (excluding cross overs), 39 are ruby X chelsea
>>154516349like these?
>>154516407or like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QdiT3W6KAM
>>154515850I was talking about Chelsea
>>154516561at least there's the beta
>>154515755>she was fighting Ruby because her grandma killed her mother.It was Agatha (Ruby's mother) who killed Nerissa
>>154516301le self insert
>>154516760Man it makes me mad how actually genuinely interesting the original conflict was. Agatha left the ocean 'cause she wanted to atone for the warcrimes her mother forced to and wanted to give her kids a better life. Nerissa was the cross at Agatha's back, and Chelsea had all right to be angry at the Krakens, specially the Gillmans.But the producers were fags. They wanted Krakens to be perfect creatures, and Agatha killing Nerissa was a big no (even if Grandmamah is a genocide in every iteration of this script, but she's the greater good for the sea or something, idk).
>>154518121>self inserts as a love interest for a 15 year old
>>154518121not surprising behavior, we had that on Molly McGee for no reason. I wish these fags kept it to themselves
>>154516605Thumbnail? Its too small>>154518517>on Molly McGeeIt had self inserts? Link or show?
>>154518553>It had self inserts?
>>154518614>Andrea likes girlsBased>She has shit tasteCringe
>>154508201Where can I find the actual list of changes made to the movie?
>>154518614Owl House and Powerpuff Girls had it worse. But truly annoying to see.Now Im thinking if the sudden lesbian that was with Jackie Lynn Thomas was also one.
>>154508201So was the mermaid queen's whole revenge plot basically to go fuck the kraken queen's granddaughter?
>>154515755The plot really did not lead where I thought it was going. I never understood why the family was constantly telling ruby there were monsters in the water, never ever go in the water, avoid everything.Then going into the water we see her giant monster grandmother who is trying to recruit Ruby into also fighting mermaids or something. Turns out the evil mermaid was the hot girl at school. What was the whole point in never go into the water stuff? It never added up.
>>154518614>>154518629truly a monkey paw moment, fans wanted Andrea to be lesbian, just for her to be into landwhales.
>>154518121Why do they always make self inserts? If not that then they make the whole damn movie about themselves like in Elemental or Encanto. Why are animators not capable of doing anything but talking about themselves?
>>154519210It was an autobiographical self insert situation since Nichole did pick up an African girlfriend in Paris.
>>154519302i mean, art is always a refection of the author's ideas and experiences, the problem is lack of nuances and removing your own ego from your work.
>>154519302>ElementalThey got Wade too? Who is it?
>>154511139anyone know what tye writer is working on these days? just so I know what to avoid
>>154513193>Or not do any of that andOffer an actual counterpoint then. How would've (you) improved this fiasco?
>>154519452>Director Kirk DeMiccoMargie Claus >Head Writer Pam Brady#1 Happy Family USA>Art Director Federic Stewart Wednesdays with Gramps>Producer Kelly Cooney CilellaThe new Shrek and Kung Fu Panda movies
>>154519260I'll never understand why they decided to keep the grandma being paranoid and racist about mermaids and then literally just say "oh yeah she was completely right lol".
>>154519260there was only that line with Agatha where Brill said why they needed to live close to the water and it was to keep moist but then how did Ruby keep moist if she wasn't allowed to
>>154518485Anon, the PPG reboot literally had a guy self-insert as the love interest for a preschooler. This is far from the weirdest shit.
>>154513193Based
>>154520127And? i hate both cases.
>>154508201Literally me when Diana ignores her moral core in a comic or show.
>>154519302>Why are animators not capable of doing anything but talking about themselves?if they were, they'd be writers
>>154519302Because the younger generation increasingly cannot tell the difference between a fictional character and a living, breathing human being.
>>154516605not bad
An entire fandom ignoring the movie's finale and taking its deleted storyboard as the true canon. It's been three years. Good. Reject bad writing.
>>154520456What was the deleted storyboard?
>>154520425I blame parasocial relationships. The new generation are so used to having a one-sided relationship with a streamer or whatever that their brain doesn't put a divider on fictional characters.
>>154519302>Why do they always make self inserts?Oh anon if only you know how often that happens over the many tens and hundreds and even thousands of years in art and media.
>>154519270>landwhalesThat wasn't the problem, it was sending her off with someone who was little more than a faceless cardboard cutout.
>>154520544>That wasn't the problemit was part of a bigger problem, sure, but let's not be naïve, you can still go see the threads from when this scene happened.
>>154520466https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raFrjzPDtWI
>>154520127I don't know what PPG is and I don't think I want to.
>>154521023>I don't know what PPG isHello, tourist, feel free to leave /co/ immediately.
>>154521023wtf where are you from
>>154513498This movie did what this drivel couldn't have dreamed of. And didn't need to add any yuricuck shit that you desperately want for whatever reason.
>>154521023w-what?
>>154521588You're memeing, Right? ...Right?
>>154521588Is't the mc basically a ''I'm not a girl, I just look like one'' type of freaks?
>>154522053And the other guy on that pic is literally gay. Like, a big plotpoint is him being gay.
>>154521588>posts absolute dogshit
>>154520466Her backstory originally wasn't a lie. She had legitimate reasons for hating Ruby's family because Ruby's mom killed hers, and their friendship was more genuine.
>>154508201She was wasted in such a mid movie
>>154509995>titfuckShe's flat
>>154523220i feel this is the worst part. This movie is bad, but not in a "so bad it's memorable" way, but in a "it's so mid it isn't worth anyone's time."It's completely worthless. People stayed just 'cause Ruby and Chelsea, and even so, people actively ignore the movie 'cause how mid it is.
>>154524199what would be better, Ruby teaching a dumb teenage stacy or her teaching an out of touch grandma?
>>154525550not just that but i'm sure she doesn't even have nipples. Kinda hot ngl.
>>154519260>I never understood why the family was constantly telling ruby there were monsters in the water, never ever go in the water, avoid everything.The mom didn't want Ruby to learn about her kraken powers and royal heritage, and going into the water would trigger the transformation. >>154520069>then how did Ruby keep moist if she wasn't allowed toThey're dependent on the humidity from the ocean to keep their skin moist, not the water itself. It's similar to how some crabs are so adapted to life on land that they can't even swim, but usually have to stay relatively close to the water because drying out is still a concern. >>154526923Mermaids wear bras, so they have to be covering SOMETHING up.
>>154527521>Mermaids wear bras, so they have to be covering SOMETHING up.it's just to trick pirates and sailors
She is, indeed, cute.
The one time Tumblr, Twitter, and /co/, agreed something. They should have been lesbians.
>>154528335Made to serve her kraken mommy-girlfriend
>>154528335Ayy Piratepon, welcome in. Having fun with doing Chelsea AI stuff?
>>154516329>>154516359What the fuck are the rest even about?
>>154521588>posts gay gay homosexual gay movie insteadBahahahahhahahahaha
>>154528448connor/ruby or ruby and chelsea as friends
>>154508224It being such a shit movie.Dreamworks is known for its more subversive and diverse catalog of animated films and this was the most generic shit possible. You can see every single plot development coming a mile away, especially the big “twist” that you can call the moment the grandma kraken lore dumps about mermaids.This is the kind of movie Dreamworks usually makes fun of.
> I like the movie and the mermaid queen pretending to be her daughter that doesn't actually exist is the part twist you saw a mile away?
bump
Will we ever get a series of this movie?
>>154530912I don't see why not, a bunch of other shows got something even if it was total ass
>>154519302they've been doing that shit since the dawn of animation, you're just mad because now there are some brown ones
>>154528736You only have to look at the trailers to see that even the marleting people knew what the better film would be, focusing on a friendship between the girls and not even attempting to hide the twist
