If your show has space marines I will watch it
 
We are going from deconstruction of Disney to the deconstruction of video games.
What will be next? Super Heroes? Magical Girls? Medieval fantasy? Cannot contain my excitment for the toys revival of western animation.
Jesus christ we're gonna look back at this decade of western animation in like four years and not see anything notable except for mid-to-shitty reboots/revivals/deconstructions of shit that was already good jacking itself off for going "hey, what if (thing) but in OPPOSITE, WOAHHH"
Animation was alright, but I'm pretty sure the "Woah, what if...the inaccurate parodies of cutesy characters all died and the heroes winning was le bad and the villains had to stop them!" premise was tired and cliche even in 2016. (I still can't get over "ten years ago" now being 2016 and not fuckin 2011 or 09 something.)
 
I do not have high hopes for Gameoverse being successful in the slightest. The trailer was enough for me to sit down and wonder what the hell I was watching. I really hate not being able to give certain animations a chance but this one just made me feel like I was having a massive fever dream.
It really gave me the same vibes as RebelTaxi's animated pilot he just released a few months ago. Not in a good way either. Catgirl is all it has going for it while the other charas are blah or ugly imo. That was the problem with Guinevere. Gwen was the only moderately appealing character and the other MCs were uggo.

Gameoverse... A hodgepodge of different styles and concepts smashed into one series... It just reads as aimless. But tbf TADC does that too and it's successful and decent enough entertainment by its own merit. I hope it does okay.

Would be sad to see two swings and a miss from GLITCH. As they say, you can't predict the market. Shrug.
 
It's funny how fifteen years ago these credits would have been a huge draw, especially egoraptor - but nowadays it's the opposite. Good trailer music, though. That latter part wasn’t even made for the show - it’s a track by Mattashi. It sounded familiar, and after looking into it I realized I’d stumbled upon his music on newgrounds years ago. I’m glad he’s finally getting some exposure.

I think the same. I have a feeling this is going to end up like the Homestuck pilot by Spindlehorse (and I only mention Spindlehorse, since Vivziepop had no involvement in the production beyond financing the project), which initially generated a lot of hype, but now everyone seems to have forgotten about it.
 
I just realized something arfter waking up in the middle of the fucking day while everything outside is just completely whited out.
"yellow humanoid with brown hair ends up having to pull a pink dinosaur who doesn't want to be there into an adventure into other worlds"

Nigger thats deltarune

EDIT: Also "winning" destroys the world
I thought I sent that edit through and maybe I did but I'm having to re-send it now for some reason probably tied to server BS

It's impressive how this somehow is even less clear as to what the premise is exactly.
Glitch's entire modus operandi is ripping the premises from three nostalgia IPs and putting them in a trenchcoat to masquerade as a new show. In this case one of the premises is from:

where the characters have to defeat The User whenever a game is uploaded because if The User wins everyone in the game file gets annihilated and a sector of the town is destroyed. (It didn't make sense back then either, but we were all kids and the show was cool so no one gave a shit.) Even the part where they're lost in space and hopping between games is a rip from Reboot because that's exactly what happens in the later seasons of that show.

(Edit) Oh, and the main characters are ripped from Ratchet and Clank:

They're very shameless about it but tend to stick to properties that '90s kids grew up with.

Also what the fuck is this?

Yeah. It's the NewGrounds mascot. How did I guess that? Because these people are unoriginal and therefore very predictable. W40k people are 'edgy'. Newgrounds is 'edgy'. So they rip and mash them together.

If it were just a matter of wearing influences on their sleeves, I wouldn't get so irked by it. But their shows are entirely composed of copied homework. It's only an 'influence' if it is affecting something you came up with.

Maybe this is just what they have to do until they can do stuff like get Lackadaisy running regularly, but generally 'the seed determines the fruit' - and the origins of Glitch count against them ever changing their strategy.

For me, it feels less like a late 2010s "Calarts beanmouth" cartoon, and more in line with the kind of stuff Internet artists on TwiXer, Tumblr, and NG make these days, where there is a bit more emphasis on angles and giving everything that "Pseudoanime girl" look. I can definitely see the Shantae influence, for example. Pretty much everyone in this California "gaming adjacent-indie art" scene has either been involved with, or has more likely than not taken influence from Shantae in some way, shape, or form over the past decade and a half.
Told ya.

I immediately noted that but didn't mention it. Weird megaman-ish proportions on top of being royalty free ratchet and clank lmao.

Examples of bacun's artwork
It's a kinda cute artstyle honestly compared to whatever the fuck is going on with the redesigns of the returning characters from the original gamoverse but that's likely due to the fact it's clearly inspired by/aping off other video game artstyles that were kind of more detailed yet still cartoony artstyles of games from back in the late 90s-early 2000s.

Like these are some of the ones that immediately come to mind looking at that stuff. There's potential for more than just beanmouth wackiness here.

That last one specifically is really fucking knonoa/graffiti kingdom-esque at once somehow.

That can pretty much can be owed to the fact that Ross and Arin are huge Mega Man fans. In fact, a sizable chunk of this generation of online content creators took heavy influence from the Mega Man series, back when Arin was most known for Sequelitis, everyone had a reskinned Mega Man sprite as their profile picture, remixes of Wily Stage 1 could be found everywhere. Not to mention the dozens of fan & indie games that all took influence from the Blue Bomber.

You wanna know what's fucking weird and immensely flawed about this fucking "winning the game means your world explodes and dies" thing? The fact the stuff they're pulling from has countless sequels that are connected directly to the last games' events. Megaman's fucking full of that shit, ratchet and clank literally had a whole cool thing where you'd get special stuff between games if you unlocked stuff in the last one before it. Hell even most of the Humungous Entertainment/jumpstart children's point and clicks they're aping off for the trailer here had sequels set in the same universe as the prior games. It's not like reboot where characters get forced to partake in "roles" and shit or aren't even connected to the game itself and get caught in the middle of shit going on. No it's fucking just "woop you won or achieved your goals you personally now you die because your life is video game and nothing else after the end uhoh!"

...Also heroes taking advice for their journey from visibly cartoonishly evil monsters clearly wanting to end the world is surreal. Good comedy potential but only really works if it doesn't actually destroy the world and kill everyone.

Hazbin hotel's OG premise of "rehab demon of the week" would have been really good but then they had to turn it into "heaven... bad?" shit which more or less is a less nuanced version of the literal kid/teen focused comedy rpg game disgaea for the ps2. I mean that plus the "shit fuck piss rape rape fuck dick gay dick fucking" writing and the wacky looking characters that look like shit from the fever dreams of someone who watched nothing but fosters home and invader zim growing up sulking around about their gay melodrama.


When a wacky comedic RPG does "maybe demon not always bad" better than your adult cartoon you got an issue

Isn't that the funny democracy guy?

This is why I liked the Knights of Guinevere pilot. It didn't default to making Gwen the villain like the teaser implied.
Magical Girl Deconstruction? Well, this exists.
No, no. That's actually funny.
They shall get help from a, uh... angel with a single-winged appendage.
Omg u gais. He's like da bad guy from Gastlebania. I luv nostalja vidya refrensizz. : DDDDDDD
This is just going to be Pixels if it was written by Millennials and Gen Zers.

Reboot also did more than reference video games for comedy. One episode was a parody of The Prisoner, but still took itself seriously by using the bizarre setting to advance the character development of Matrix.

Oh they loved referencing stuff. Show was teeming with it, especially in the game worlds; from Elmer Fudd set in the Roadrunner cartoon to Casper Galloway literally screaming "I'm Dead Before Dawn! I'm Dead Before Dawn!" But it always returned to the central setting that they had come up with and to plot lines that only made sense in the world they made.
