Watching the Gumroad video,
I started out like Josh thinking "jeez PPP it's just a kids show it's not that bad"
Coping with "some characters are kind of cute"
"Ok it's taking kind of a long time for anything to happen"
"Ok all of these characters are annoying"
"This is deliberately wasting the viewer's time"
And the third episode turned me into PPP's black pilled "this is fucking terrible in every way"

As a fan of video games it's especially egregious how uninspired and uninteresting everything is.
It's genuinely insane to me this show is for adults.

The hardest I laughed was PPP and Josh saying "imagine someone whose wife actually died getting the 'I miss my wife' shirt"
 
I could go into greater detail, but that would be better suited for a different thread or a DM as a lot of it is stuff normal people have no interest in learning about.
A thread about this somewhere would honestly be great to give more details about how it all works. Assuming what you're saying is true then it more or less sounds like a case of some guys not knowing what the fuck to do with a company and having to wing it as they go, which makes sense since I honestly remember SMG4 himself being a pretty chill guy back in the older days, meanwhile running a business especially when you're trying to be ambitious is the opposite of chill. Like they wanted to give this big troon with the big money all the freedom he needed to keep going since it was clearly making big bucks, except that's gonna be their worst possible mistake when this shitstorm hits theaters.
 
The issue I see is they had a cashcow with TADC and rather than fulfill market demand they’re cutting it off early, and I feel this will bite them in the long term. Goose’s “creative integrity” was nonexistent and the finale proved that unlimited creative freedom is bad. They will not see the error here, and they won’t wish they’d extended TADC until it’s too late. I can’t estimate on finances or anything like that, but I don’t see Gameoverse filling the shoes of TADC.
One thing you learn fast about indie animators is that they have no work ethic and want to cash out as fast as possible, which is the polar opposite of the Hollywood industry that wants to ride the train until the wheels are broken and the lights don’t turn on anymore
 
I skimmed the first ten minutes of TADC and it feels like I'm being brainwashed. It's a feeling that's hard to explain but I could almost feel my attention span dying in real time. Also, the characters mentioned "going crazy" or "le hecckin insanity" every 15 seconds. Okay. I get it. It's baby's first internet spooky thing. This is just a collection of things I've seen done better elsewhere.
Holy fucking vindication :story:
 
Thank you




What's prime intellect?
I posted it upthread a bit, it's a story called the Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. It has a lot of the same themes as TADC, namely human minds being trapped in a deathless fantasy and what consequences that brings. It's sooper edgy and dark, has some out-there content, but is otherwise interesting and well-written. On reflection you can really see where Goose took inspiration from it, if in fact there is wattpad jerkoff fanfic from the beforetimes from him.

They definitely expanded way too fast and are spreading themselves extremely thin. Most studios stick to one or two projects tops until they’re so established they can afford a massive multinational workforce, said studios also usually get contracts to animate specific shows. Titmouse is a great example, as a studio they create relatively little, but they’re the largest contractor in the American industry and constantly have a stream of high profile projects they’re hired to animate.

I’d say the studio that so far has done it mostly right is Spindelhorse. Hazbin Hotel was their breakout hit, they immediately licenses it to A24 who brought bento box in to fill out the workforce with experienced animators, and then they used the profits to make Helluvaboss independently, but they haven’t attempted much more at the moment.

@me when you decide to make the thread
I have no idea where such a thread would even go, or what I’d call it, and I feel like ultimately end up as the site’s most autistic thread
 
The pinnacle of abc news host guests has a jax plush and hazbin/helluva merch in the background and the bisexual lighting.

I don't know if it makes it better or worse that it's also a knockoff. The official plushies are larger and and the ears don't sag like that. That's one of the cheapo ones you can buy from a market stall for a fraction of the price, just as long as you're okay with the stuffing probably being asbestos. To Glitch's credit the official merch is pretty well-made, to the point where you can quite easily spot the fakes even from a distance.

It definitely makes it funnier, when you consider how unbelievably hawkish Glitch are with their merch. At this point I'm just surprised they had the self-restraint to not call the show The Amazing Physical Merchandise

You really underestimate what's here on KF. Since it relates to the animation industry I'd say it's a good fit for Multimedia, and if nothing else it can just get moved elsewhere.
Either way, GLITCH spreading themselves super thin explains why episodes of anything take forever to come out.

Another good example is that Irish studio, I forget the name of that did The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea (fantastic) Wolfwalkers etc.
 
Glitch is an “indie studio” the same way a recovering cancer patient is bald. It’s only technically true; they might even pretend to be proud of it, but they want to get rid of the label as soon as possible.

Glitch isn’t Disney, but they absolutely are trying to be. They want to be part of the big boys, and they thought the TADC movie would be their ticket to the big leagues. It won’t be.

Cartoon saloon has been a round way longer than people think. They just don’t do a ton of huge films and shows. But they’re probably the closest thing to Richard Williams Animation Studio is today.
 
Kinger says "GET THAT NIGGER BITCH OFF THE CIRCUS"

Do you realize? DO YOU REALIZE SOMETHING- Let me tell you.

If that those abstracted trannies from outside , that you allowed in the damn circus, escape from the cellar, they could corrupt our program and we would have to move out of it?

It'd be funny if kinger said this to caine instead of the ending we got. You barely have any focus on how he's technically kinger's "son" and it's made weirder how there's no references or jokes about that after the relation gets revealed.
 
Dont get me wrong shes still shit but even then she didn't spaz out and revealed her entire plot to everyone. The only closest thing I can argue that would be the leaking of Midnight Sun which was the Creator of Fifty Shades of Grey's fault.
I should’ve been more specific. She was shit, but people knew that and acted like it. Goose is shit, and people (not just kids) acted like he was the second coming of Alfred Hitchcock or David Lynch until recently. Granted he’s still a fucking spaz, it shouldn’t have taken this long for us to get so much milk.
 
I would improve the ending by picking a random point in the finale and pulling a Sopranos with a twist.

At the determined timestamp, preferably mid sentence, the screen would suddenly cut to black in such a manner that it mimics a computer powering down. After a momentary pause we would pan out from inactive computer screen to see a crew of workers removing stuff from a defunct office building, which context informs us is the offices of whatever the company Kinger worked for was called (I can't be asked to look). As two of the workers are carrying the computer parts to the dumpster, they have a brief exchange where one remarks that it was odd these old computers were left plugged in and powered on for so long, then asks if they think there's anything interesting on them. The other worker, who bears a striking resemblance to Carl from ATHF, says it don't matter, none of this matters, as they dump the parts in the big industrial dumpster before walking off camera. The scene transitions into a timescale as the office is thoroughly gutted and the building ultimately demolished. Eventually the industrial dumpster is picked up and hauled off to be processed, and the last thing we see is the computer that hosted the circus being thoroughly dismantled and destroyed. The credits role in complete silence.

Goose was always like this. They chose to glaze him because troons are the second coming. It didn't take too long. Because tadc was backed by autists. There wasn't a glowing demand for it until now. I'm waiting until he spazes out more for a potential thread.
 
Sorry if I'm shitting up the thread but where the FUCK do I find the Gumroad video? I am willing to give Josh a whole five (5) of my hard earned dollars to watch PPP go ballistic on weapons-grade troonslop.
