A bunch of shit not worth mentioning, but basically Belos becomes a generic creepypasta monster but is SMASHED by a shota with God-like powers who then turns the world into his toybox because he has no friends. Belos, now as goo, takes over of the giant skeleton island (which was King's dad) and tries to kill the shota and everyone else, but King's dad posseses Luz and gives her the power of yiff required to kill Belos again. Belos' remains are SMASHED again, now by Luz's useless friends, and dies for real. The shota leaves the world because everyone is too gay, Luz hits the wall worse than a white woman and loses her magic, but it's ok because she has a gf. The end.
>but is SMASHED by a shota with God-like powers who then turns the world into his toybox because he has no friends
Isn't that just that one Twilight Zone episode?
“(even when none of his issues were solved”
This right here was the biggest crime of the show by far.
Collie had all this amazing material to work with, and amounted to nothing but an ocean of wasted potential. There’s all of the backstory lore that we were teased with but never got to see more of. Then there’s what happened to the actual kid. It’s ultra fricked up that no one argues when he goes back to space, considering that his greatest pain is that he’s all alone. This goes double for the fact that two of the three main characters had entire arcs about how isolation is bad. Eda eventually comes to terms with her curse, and realizes that it isn’t healthy to push everyone away (like r*ine for example) after she clawed her dads eye. Worse yet, not even 24 hours prior Luz was having a crisis over blaming herself for helping Belos. She was dead set on staying on Earth and cutting herself off from everyone on the Isles until Camilla correctly told her that that is moronic, and not going to help anyone.
Yet when a literal child is about to do the same thing, everyone just goes quiet
Yes but we’re explicitly told that they commit genocide, and it’s implied several times that they were neglectful if not outright abusive.
They’re really not the best people for him to turn to in his hour of need.
>Belos is SMASHED by a shota
Wtf now I love Owl House, brb I need to go grab some tissues >The shota leaves the world because everyone is too gay
Uhhhhh based?
Belos basically hijacks the Titan's corpse and tries to kill everything on the planet, but the titan's soul contacts Luz for some reason and bestows her with the last of his powers to beat Belos or some bullshit.
Eda and Lilith become completely useless in S2. Most of their screentime focus on them trying to re-learn magic and failing, Eda trying to get her non-binary xirfriend back and Lilith dating Hooty because nobody else wants to be with her.
That's literally what I said. Lilith just settled with Hooty because Eda was too busy with the author's self-insert #42 to care about her. And on top of being gay, none of that mattered in the grand scheme of things because Lilith is an useless autist and Eda's theyfriend's plans failed so hard that a literal deus ex shotaro had to appear and stop Belos' main plans before Luz and her teen friends are separated from Eda and Lilith (who continue to do frickall during most of the remaining episodes).
Belos basically hijacks the Titan's corpse and tries to kill everything on the planet, but the titan's soul contacts Luz for some reason and bestows her with the last of his powers to beat Belos or some bullshit.
Kek no, it's because they pissed off cape gays and their Disney princess looks like shit and Pixar continues to be a zombie
Don't lay claim to these lands gay
It's honestly sad how obsessed modern cartoonists are with anime. The West has a history of cartooning arguably stretching to the Middle Ages but every cartoon is trying to rip off 80s-90s anime.
Anime just makes better use of perspective, shading, and color than the vast majority of cartoons do. So much of western animation, even when given a big budget, have wonderful fluidity to the motion but the framing and lighting is often flat and bland as hell. There is a lot worth learning and emulating there, but for some reason animators insist on emulating the *specific content* like giving their characters DBZ auras or having Star be a Sailor Moon ripoff design instead of learning from the techniques that made those work in the first place.
It's because those specific anime tropes are the only things they fricking remember.
You think Matt Braly or Dana Terrace remember anything at all about the art style or animation of old Dragon Ball episodes? No, they just remember that he went Super Saiyan and that it was a hype moment. They think "Hey, if my character goes Super Saiyan then that's a hype moment too".
I guess it requires actual skill and understanding of the medium to recognize how a trick was done and seek to emulate it or iterate upon the idea, whereas literally anyone can just copy super saiyan aesthetics in their story.
But even then, they frick it up. What most people fail to remember about super saiyan is that, in the arc it was introduced, it was talked about and foreshadowed for AGES before it ever actually appeared, and it was portrayed in ominous terms and the audiences had no reason to think this was a good thing. It was almost treated like an turns-you-evil powerup in its first appearance before it was revealed that Goku was actually okay in there he was just really pissed. Super saiyan became a huge meme later when everyone in the cast was doing it and anyone who wasn't did not matter, but in the Namek arc it was hype for a REASON and that reason was not 'he glowed and his hair changed color'. That reason was that multiple character had been talking this shit up for a dozen episodes even though no one knew what it actually looked like, they just had a legend and a name.
Again, you can take away a lesson from that on how to properly set up a cool protagonist powerup so it feels like it has weight to it and shit. But that lesson isn't 'glowing hair'.
well yeah
that's because they're not animating anything
your webm is 90% still images with post processing trash and screen shake with minimal animation
you can't get away with that shit here
Exactly. I didn't pick a high budget shinkai movie for that exact reason. This was a low budget, cheaply made, seasonal garbage anime. Its got a frame rate of the display screen on your microwave.
But the use of color, shading, perspective, framing, etc is all *still good*. Its what makes the scene still look 'cool' even when its potato quality. These are all tricks that can be done cheaply, as evidenced that they are being done cheaply. All of which are lessons that an american studio can, in theory, emulate AND have western budget and frame count. One does not preclude the other. Instead, western studios spend all of this money to lavishly animate hipster noodle people spastically flailing their arms as they have a mundane conversation because 'more motion = better' and you get an 11 minute adventure time episode costing 2 million dollars for zero reason.
The animation industry, much like the comic industry, is set in their ways. They like things done how they're done, and they take even fewer risks today with experimentation than they did just 10 years ago. We'll never even return to the free spirit of late 90's cartoons let alone try the techniques actual anime uses. If we still lived in the era of shows like Kablam or Courage, maybe networks would fund a project that tried real anime animation methods, not just the surface level shit. Hell even spongebob set the trend for cutaways of real life images in a cartoon for comedic effect, that was new. weird, experimental shit in 99. But good fricking luck. These days you can't get a show greenlit at all unless it looks like something that already exists. I can't believe how restrictive cartoons have become on a creative and functional level. We're throwing money in the toilet and flushing over and over because we're afraid of losing money. What a crock
Literally yes. Everyone eats up Ufotable fight scenes, and all they did was figure out how do ultra-dynamic fight choreogaphy by cutting out most of the compositing work by constructing drawn/CG skybox 'backgrounds' that can be navigated and rotated as a 3d environment, letting them swing the camera around to wherever they want on the fly. Then they only need to draw the characters and foreground objects on top of that and composite it together. Taking scenes that would normally require movie budgets and very skilled animators and turning it into something they can put in a regular show.
Cartoon makers should learn that fluidity is not the end-all be-all of good cartooning.
You'd think the first 15 or so years of Adult Swim would have shown people that you can still make an enjoyable cartoon even if it's animated like shit if it shines in other areas.
I don't think actual cartoonists care about fluidity, I think its something that Cinemaphile uses as a cope because its the one single thing that western animation does 'better' than anime. Its the one goalpost that they can set that they know they can win, so they are incentivized to pretend its the one that matters.
It's just a crutch >Oh no, how will our hero defeat this super strong giant bad guy we've put in front of her? Will I think of some incredibly clever way for her to outwit them? >No, I'll just give her superpowers lol
Watch the show you fricking moron, Belos is a master of magic violence is literally the only way Luz could stop him. There also the fact that Belos is more intelligent than Luz considering he fricking invented a device that creates a portal between two dimensions so frick off with the muh cleverness asspull.
what anon is trying to say is that the writers should have come up with a method to beat Belos in a logical and clever way that wasnt just "anime power-up ass pull"
Not the point, anon. Even assuming an enemy that has to be destroyed because they can't be talked down, there is a big difference between a character overcoming the situation by cleverness or by utilizing established character traits/setting rules to secure an advantage (like in Disney's animated Mulan, Mulan beats the big bad basically by cheating rather than fighting on his terms) and overcoming the situation because you got a 'only for the final episode' big super powerup out of nowhere.
Anne Blanca. In-universe described as the power to defeat any foe, and amounts to the universe's sysadmin giving her unlimited power to do a specific thing. The blast that turned Amphibia's moon to gravel would have sterilized the planet to the last bacterium if not blown it apart. GuardiAnne, supposing she takes the job in the future, would have that as a base capability and various meta abilities besides. There aren't many religions with deities more powerful than that.
It’s an easy scapegoat to use as justification for hating their families and having repulsive personalities >”Nuh uh I-I’m not a shitty person! I’m just le hecking traumatized from my bigoted Christian upbringing!”
In Luz's first encounter with Belos he cast an aura on her and sends her flying, yh bro try to muh cleverness out of that, he was about to fricking kill Luz and co had Collector not show up, you fricking idiots.
Wrong rewatch Eda vs Lillith and realize Belos is even faster and stronger than that, Luz had no chance Belos was just toying with her, Dana even makes him forget his telekinesis
reminder that the Collector's brothers were dicks who are probably sitting at home laughing their asses off about their dumbass kid brother getting dragged into the space between life and death by the last Titan before they could kill it
You forgot about the part where they sent him off to the Titans in the first place. It’d be like if they set some guys house on fire, but before the run off to hide they make sure to put a box of matches in their little brothers hands and tell him to wait right there
As someone who knows nothing about this show it feels like people are just complaining about this anime form for the sake of complaining, cartoons have been making parody transformations for decades, why is everyone so salty that some cartoons are doing these transformations seriously for once?
If I had a nickel ever time Disney had non-white teen girl transported to a fantasy world where she dies and comes back with god-like powers to defeat evil I'd had two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.
Actually, you wouldn’t Anne died after she had her God powers not before, and Molly never died at all just had an out of body experience so technically you would only have 1 Nickle.
>so technically you would only have 1 Nickle.
It's dubious that Luz died there. It seems to have been an elemental transportation like what Darius or Belos do, possibly from the titan coopting Belos's "cleanse this perdition" thing when it hit her. There's a case to be made for that constituting death, but it's weaker than the normal Star Trek transporter death argument considering that the Luz bits that came out were the same ones that went in.
It was such a boring fight, I didn't even bother to look at it again
What a massive downgrade seriously, I feel like shows add a couple good fight scenes to try and bait me into watching even those those fight scenes end up being the only thing I liked about it
I've wondered how you properly do western-themed powerups for a while. I've been piecing together a story that has the rad shounen powerup progression but the protagonist loses their ultimate powers at the end of the story (they were effectively granted by a god that has to retire from active duty to clean up the mess made in the climax and takes the blessing with them)
If the "ultra form" gives them a completely different method of attacking, at the final confrontation have it revert back to their classic skillset, albeit a souped-up version in terms of damage it does
That's why it always feels like an asspull and a letdown, the audience wants to see the actual main character and villain face off, and the "ultra form" of them may as well be a different character
In this particular instance the ultra form is a souped-up version of their normal skillset and not a brand new moveset, and the finisher is their original finishing move but now at its highest possible scope
I think we kind of want Rocky. It's not that they're suddenly magically more powerful, it's the same guy who's gotten more powerful. They might have picked up a few moves, but what I think what the audience wants is more proof of growth, so using a similar moveset or skillbase and showing more knowledge about what they're doing. For example, if the hero knows they're going to struggle in a fight, starting it in a way to mislead the opponent then going right back into their normal style and winning the fight is rewarding and shows a lot more character growth than various special effects, a new hairdo, and firing an magical beam

I honestly felt that TOH was a letdown. I don't really buy the implication that if S3 was a full season, the quality would have gotten better because S2 proved that S1's shitty foundation kneecapped whatever Dana could have reasonably done with the series.
Seriously, how do you not know what you want your show to be until you're fifteen episodes in your first season (and when you won't even know if you'll be renewed for a second, let alone a third season)?
Yeah, in this case it's more like the character opens without their primary weapon (because it's known they're a threat with it), holds their own thanks to their allies, gets their weapon back and can utilize the full extent of their ability, still has a close fight, and comes in clutch with their finisher
I dropped that show after 1 season, what the frick just happened?
A bunch of shit not worth mentioning, but basically Belos becomes a generic creepypasta monster but is SMASHED by a shota with God-like powers who then turns the world into his toybox because he has no friends.

The shota leaves the world because everyone is too gay, Luz hits the wall worse than a white woman and loses her magic, but it's ok because she has a gf. The end.
Damn, OP might be right, that does sound cringe.
You can see the last episode in youtube:
No thanks, sounds too gay for me.
Also there's a ten minute sequence where Luz totally dies for real this time we're serious
>powerup and death/resurrection in the finale
Hmm, sounds familiar. Also checked
>Luz totally dies for real
Luz didn't tho. Papa T goes out of the way to say that she isn't "dead-looking".
Even through text the sarcasm in that post should’ve pretty obvious
>but is SMASHED by a shota with God-like powers who then turns the world into his toybox because he has no friends
Isn't that just that one Twilight Zone episode?
Yes, but it spans across 3 40m episodes, and the shota becomes a good boy in the end (even when none of his issues were solved).
“(even when none of his issues were solved”

Wtf now I love Owl House, brb I need to go grab some tissues
>The shota leaves the world because everyone is too gay
Uhhhhh based?
Sounds like a shitty take on Bionicle.
And Bionicle got pretty shitty towards the end of G1 too
Glad I'm not the only one who saw the similarities
>Luz hits the wall worse than a white woman
I will never forgive Dana.
Did they fricking write Eva out of the show in S2? What the actual frick?
Eda and Lilith become completely useless in S2. Most of their screentime focus on them trying to re-learn magic and failing, Eda trying to get her non-binary xirfriend back and Lilith dating Hooty because nobody else wants to be with her.
homie Lilith was simping for Eda and Eda was simping for a trans manipulator
That's literally what I said. Lilith just settled with Hooty because Eda was too busy with the author's self-insert #42 to care about her. And on top of being gay, none of that mattered in the grand scheme of things because Lilith is an useless autist and Eda's theyfriend's plans failed so hard that a literal deus ex shotaro had to appear and stop Belos' main plans before Luz and her teen friends are separated from Eda and Lilith (who continue to do frickall during most of the remaining episodes).
Lilith is autistic for that sister pussy
That's the best summary of toh i have ever read
Shit got gay.
Belos basically hijacks the Titan's corpse and tries to kill everything on the planet, but the titan's soul contacts Luz for some reason and bestows her with the last of his powers to beat Belos or some bullshit.
>for some reason
Because she spent the whole show being kind to his son.
Disney's current bombing is directly tied to what they did to the Owl House. Never forget, do not stab the rainbow mafia in the back.
If anything thisbproves that you should never ally with the rainbow brigade at all.
Why? We realized that corporations don't give a shit about us.
Is that official or a fan animation? It's animated very well
bro that's literally the scene from the episode of the show
I'm impressed, it looks great, and so does this
It's official.
Good
LGBT audiences are all dollar signs to corporations and nothing more. to think anything else is moronic.
Kek no, it's because they pissed off cape gays and their Disney princess looks like shit and Pixar continues to be a zombie
Don't lay claim to these lands gay
You stab them up the back, they like it that way.
>Fang
>Over her teeth
God damned beaver over here.
It's called a snaggletooth and that's what they actually look like
You're so cringe man.
All the disney girls are getting anime forms these days
Even when they don't fit the show at all
So far the death guy was pretty chill, the other ghost where the jerks but they don't get any punishment.
In the second finale they're just randomly good guys
Distressing
Why?
Because it sucks.
Someone on the staff really genuinely thought this would be "cool"
>make a cartoon that’s silly and “cartoony”
>anime power up shit that’s suppose to be serious
Why
Anime powerup for Hailey when
After Kiff

based nippons animating smarter not harder.
Literally yes. Everyone eats up Ufotable fight scenes, and all they did was figure out how do ultra-dynamic fight choreogaphy by cutting out most of the compositing work by constructing drawn/CG skybox 'backgrounds' that can be navigated and rotated as a 3d environment, letting them swing the camera around to wherever they want on the fly.

Over The Garden Wall was the last purely western influenced cartoon I can think of.
Arguably Hilda too. It's no coincidence both are extremely good and comfy to watch.
Don’t worry, my cartoons gonna take influence from 40’s comics/cartoons and real life, just wait
It's just a crutch
>Oh no, how will our hero defeat this super strong giant bad guy we've put in front of her? Will I think of some incredibly clever way for her to outwit them?
>No, I'll just give her superpowers lol
Belos was a malicious scumbag meaning Talk no Jutsu is useless so violence is the only solution, dumbass
Outwitting doesn't have to mean winning a speech check
Watch the show you fricking moron, Belos is a master of magic violence is literally the only way Luz could stop him. There also the fact that Belos is more intelligent than Luz considering he fricking invented a device that creates a portal between two dimensions so frick off with the muh cleverness asspull.
what anon is trying to say is that the writers should have come up with a method to beat Belos in a logical and clever way that wasnt just "anime power-up ass pull"

Do you prefer evil/edgy power ups (holo Ichigo) or holy/righteous power ups? (Super Saiyan)
Holy
Which Disney protagonist has the strongest power up? Does Hercules count?
Anne Blanca. In-universe described as the power to defeat any foe, and amounts to the universe's sysadmin giving her unlimited power to do a specific thing. The blast that turned Amphibia's moon to gravel would have sterilized the planet to the last bacterium if not blown it apart. GuardiAnne, supposing she takes the job in the future, would have that as a base capability and various meta abilities besides. There aren't many religions with deities more powerful than that.
>Which Disney protagonist has the strongest power up?
Sora
Strongest, not gayest.
Oh, then Luz.
The original design was better
>This shit is so hot man
FTFY
It was so cringe that once again they had no inspiration whatsoever and ripped off Ichigo (Bleach) pose, like seriously over the nose.
Shut up, gay.
This show reeks of "my parents forced me to go to Catholic school and I've hated them ever since vibes"
Why are atheists such Chuds?
Why do christian love projecting so much?
It’s an easy scapegoat to use as justification for hating their families and having repulsive personalities
>”Nuh uh I-I’m not a shitty person! I’m just le hecking traumatized from my bigoted Christian upbringing!”

Wrong rewatch Eda vs Lillith and realize Belos is even faster and stronger than that, Luz had no chance Belos was just toying with her, Dana even makes him forget his telekinesis
Show is gay. Only reason it's popular because of r34.
It wasn't perfect, but in the end I am happy with what we got.

You forgot about the part where they sent him off to the Titans in the first place. It’d be like if they set some guys house on fire, but before the run off to hide they make sure to put a box of matches in their little brothers hands and tell him to wait right there

I remember when people were saying that Luz wouldn’t get a super form
And that her getting a super form wouldn’t fit the show at all
I saw that and didn't think it mattered either way.
Need more Titan Luz fanart
Don't care Luz in that form with a fat wiener is peak
>only homos like Forma De Titan
Checks out
Frick artists for constantly giving her Titan form a dog dick and not giving her a fortune cookie instead.
It’s a shoe aimed at children. Of course it’s cringe. You’re a man child for even expecting anything else.

I've wondered how you properly do western-themed powerups for a while. I've been piecing together a story that has the rad shounen powerup progression but the protagonist loses their ultimate powers at the end of the story (they were effectively granted by a god that has to retire from active duty to clean up the mess made in the climax and takes the blessing with them)
If the "ultra form" gives them a completely different method of attacking, at the final confrontation have it revert back to their classic skillset, albeit a souped-up version in terms of damage it does
That's why it always feels like an asspull and a letdown, the audience wants to see the actual main character and villain face off, and the "ultra form" of them may as well be a different character
In this particular instance the ultra form is a souped-up version of their normal skillset and not a brand new moveset, and the finisher is their original finishing move but now at its highest possible scope
What you want is Samurai Jack.
I think we kind of want Rocky. It's not that they're suddenly magically more powerful, it's the same guy who's gotten more powerful. They might have picked up a few moves, but what I think what the audience wants is more proof of growth, so using a similar moveset or skillbase and showing more knowledge about what they're doing. For example, if the hero knows they're going to struggle in a fight, starting it in a way to mislead the opponent then going right back into their normal style and winning the fight is rewarding and shows a lot more character growth than various special effects, a new hairdo, and firing an magical beam
>I think we kind of want Rocky.
Anon above is getting at something more like Popeye eating spinach.
Popeye is a comedy though. Actually, Popeye eating spinach is probably influential in some way for shonen transformations, so point
I honestly felt that TOH was a letdown. I don't really buy the implication that if S3 was a full season, the quality would have gotten better because S2 proved that S1's shitty foundation kneecapped whatever Dana could have reasonably done with the series.
Seriously, how do you not know what you want your show to be until you're fifteen episodes in your first season (and when you won't even know if you'll be renewed for a second, let alone a third season)?
Yeah, in this case it's more like the character opens without their primary weapon (because it's known they're a threat with it), holds their own thanks to their allies, gets their weapon back and can utilize the full extent of their ability, still has a close fight, and comes in clutch with their finisher
Not as cringe as Raeda
