It's up
Anyone happen to catch it?
Will it give the show the exposure it needs?
>>
>>155099864
Doubt it. Also I get the feeling that instead of this being a windfall that Zeural needed I think he's going to regret it in the future.
Watch, in a year or two he's going to on twitter screaming about how shit Netflix is, at which point I'd bet that Monkey Wrench would have already been taken off Netflix.
>>
>>155099889
I really hope they don't steal it from him.
Hope he made a good contract.

Will it reach a wider audience? Yes. Will that audience stick around? No. This show struggles for views on YouTube for a reason, it's just too bland.
>>155099889
And this meltdown is what will happen when most people skip watching it. The creator bitches about the YouTube algorithm suppressing the show but that's not what's happening. The algorithm is shit but it will promote something that retains people's attention and get lost of people to click in the first place. Blaming the algorithm is a cope and I really think bombing on Netflix will be a nail in the coffin

The most likely scenario.
If anyone is going to get into it from Netflix, they'll have to stomach how terrible episode 1 is, and then how mediocre episode 2 and 3 are.
The show is watchable once it hits 4 and 5, but it's not going to be able to retain the attention it needs to get to that point via netflix.
>>
>>155102013
A new writer, a new voice actor for the main character, the bad girls need to show up every episode, the copilot needs to stop acting like he's zonked out on Quaaludes, etc. This show just needs a total rewrite, but keep the girls.
>>
>>155102604
How is Zeurel going to afford a new writer? They don't come cheap
>>
>>155099864
did they fix the audio mix?
>>
>>155102553
I watched Ep 1 to 3 when I discovered the show on youtube and it was okay.
I like the show subtle continuity like Beebs arm getting damaged in Ep 2, giving him trouble in ep 3 and then getting repaired in ep 4, without anyone pointing out that it was damaged every 5 seconds like every fuicking show does. YEs is a slow burner but I don't think it's a real problem unless you have attention deficit and need to be constantly stimulated
I watched Ep 1 of The Amazing Digital Circus and it killed any interest for the show in one go, so yeah
>>
>>155102732
So what you're saying is indie creators should make you watch their projects. If you like it, it will flop but if you hate it, it's a good litmus test that it will be a massive hit

Knowing Zeurel, I'm certain you're right, he likes to externalize blame, he blames youtube for not supposedly hampering his show, he even blames his fans for not being enthusiastic enough, see pic.

Agreed
>a new voice actor for the main character
agreed
>the bad girls need to show up every episode
No, pathetic attempt at coombait, those girls aren't even hot enough for that, one looks like a dude and is a dyke, the other is an uncanny valley furry, the show's artstyle doesn't help in that regard either.
>the copilot needs to stop acting like he's zonked out on Quaaludes
Yea it was all over the place with some bits were nothing happened, terrible pacing allround.
>This show just needs a total rewrite, but keep the girls.
Honestly, the only main girl this show needs is the new MC that is going to finally be introduced in the next episode.
The show so far meandered so much, straight up filler, it took five 30 minute long episodes to finally get somewhere relevant to the story.
She should have been introduced in the pilot get on with the actual plot of the show from the very beginning.

>Zeurel is slowly becoming the DSP of the animation space.
>>
>>155101987
I’m new watching it and it’s pretty dense. There’s a large cast and characters get introduced randomly or it’s expected you just go along with them before they start to have a point or become interesting. I’m up to episode 5 but I’m still trying to remember what I absorbed from this morning’s watch. I can tell you shrike is hedonistic and Beebs is the levelheaded one, but other characters I have a harder time pinning down.

I like the animation. I miss action cartoons and the way this show uses its space/sci-fi sets are cool. I think the sound mixing can be improved some punches, steps, and swings either lack sounds or lack an oomph that sells the impact. I never saw this show before, but it kept getting recommended to me, so I’m glad I watched it cause it’s very visually weird, but I can see why no one really talks about it there’s nothing to really latch on to beyond a random glup shitto.

Getting to watch Monkey Wrench in German or Japanese or whatever the fuck is going to be pretty sweet, because at least whoever they pick to do Shrike's dub for other languages can't possible be fucking worse than Shrike's English voice actor.

Seeing all episodes at once made the narrative feel a lot more satisfying than waiting years. I get why he's structuring the story as is now, to work better for people in the future, but it does come at the cost of the experience in the present.
Too bad these threads are ruined by people obsessed with Zeurel failing despite many other indie cartoons doing far worse than him.

You young people are so fucking poor and incapable of ripping something that it's sad sometimes. This is why cartoonfags can't get shit done and why they're right to separate comics from cartoons. This is why nobody makes cartoons, cartoonfags are too poor to afford animation.

>The fact that Monkey Wrench threads barely fucking survive are a litmus test.
Yeah for how spammy and dogshit your fanbase has to be to end up reaching 500 replies from 20 autists on the sewer of the internet. 4chan is dying and it is not a good indicator of the quality of something, let alone the popularity of it. Skibidi Toilet is infinitely more popular than Helluva+Hazbin/Digital yet you see 0 thread of it on 4chan. Green Eggs n Ham is an amazing show and it didn't get even get more than 3 threads that never reached bump limit on 4chan for season 2. I also never ever heard of /co/ talking about Generator Rex in good faith beyond whining and bitching about muh goofy CN sound effects, go edit them yourself, bitch. Only good thing /co/ ever did was edit Ultimate Spiderman to take out the jokes that were literally pausing the video.

You youngsters make me look naive, hopeful and optimistic compared to your depressive whiny asses.

This show sucks. Sorry not sorry Zeurel.
Must be lucky being him, his show is a complete failure yet the biggest indie name Goose shills it, then it still remains a failure, then Netflix for some mysterious and strange unexplained reason picks it up.
It is what it is but the whole situation is strange. Zeurel might be the first internet cartoon creator/creator in general to get a show in the entertainment industry exclusively out of pity.

faggots on /co/ will never accept this show is unironically better written and more engaging than everything glitch has made, but nobody here is interested in either reading comics or watching non mainstream shows. shrike unironically mogs every single other indie protags ive seen aside from loriner and Jesse (metrecalia)

i was rewatching it 2 weeks ago and it struck me how much foreshadowing there was from episode 1&2 for later episodes. but watch some faggot who probably engaging in xitter screencap bait threads cherrypick one line here, miserable twats

YouTube is already the most exposure it could ever hope for. That platform allegedly rivals all the streamers.

Still worth to put it on streaming for the type of audiences who don't really watch indie shows on youtube. Glitch is the exception, most people watch youtube for slop content, video games and news, not independent animated shows. They use streaming sites for that.

They can’t steal it from him. It’s already on YouTube and still there. The deal isn’t even exclusive, let alone a buyout. They didn’t buy the show. They don’t own it. They’re licensing it.

> I really think bombing on Netflix will be a nail in the coffin
This. People still aren’t talking about it despite being on a major streamer. Before, Zeurel could pretend that the only reason it was failing was because of the YouTube algorithm and lack of exposure, but when it’s on a major streamer and still bombs it will be harder to do those mental gymnastics. He’d have to concede that short of force feeding the show to people a la clockwork orange, people just don’t want to watch it.
They should have recast Shrike for the Netflix version. They had a chance to reset and right some wrongs, but I guess they’re committed to letting a Jacob Barrens ruin the fucking show.
>>
>>155102553
I never got past episode 1.
And I had to rewatch it several times to actually pay attention to it because it was so fucking boring I’d keep drifting off into a daydream until the episode ended and I realized I had no idea what happened.
Nice to know they finally found their footing, but I can’t say I’m super excited to slog through the next few episodes just so it can start feeling like it’s fun to watch.

I dont think even a recasting is going to save anyone from stomaching Ghost Egg.
Thats going to be the main issue with the Netflix release. Asking a general audience to watch episode 2 after just how fucking abysmal episode 1 is a really hard sell.
You can't even really get away with skipping it, because a lot of characters are introduced to episode 1, and it's referenced quite often in the later episodes.
Even if Shrike was a stellar performance, you can't get away from the fact the first episode thinks its REALLY funny to say "Ghost Egg" in a silly voice.
>>
>>155118487
Also, there were FAR too many characters and subplots. You can do those clusterfuck type episodes once an audience already knows the characters, but when you’re trying to get introduced to a world and the writers keep jumping to a new scene where a handful of new characters are introduced every few minutes, it’s hard to feel invested at all in anything. Who fucking cares what happens? We don’t know or care about anyone yet.
