    This movie looks amazing and this trailer is the only thing keeping me sane this morning.

      It reminds me of Inside Out. Hopefully, I like Soul more than Inside Out. >_>

    2. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      Well, it's the same director as Inside Out, which was fantastic. So that bodes welll.

  2. TheAnimationFanatic

    I'm not sure why Dragon Tales is trending on Twitter, but I'm glad that it is because I remembered just how much I loved it growing up! :BrightMacContent:

    Congratulations to the Academy for getting it mostly right this year!

      I disagree.

    While I would never wish this fate upon anybody, I can't exactly say I feel sorry for him.

      The world will be a better place when he's gone, but this is a shitty way for anyone to go out.

      Even with my shift in political leanings, there is no way I would agree with Rush Limbaugh on everything, but this is still awful. No one should have to go through this and I wish him the best.

      My hope is that he walks away from this with a greater sense of empathy if he survives.

  5. TheAnimationFanatic

    Well, this sucks. :( https://www.tmz.com/2020/01/26/kobe-bryant-killed-dead-helicopter-crash-in-calabasas/

    I hope you're in high spirits.

      Her favorite groups:

      - Marelyn Maneson (Marilyn Manson)

      - Nine Inch Neighs (Nine Inch Nails)

      - Depeche Mare (Depeche Mode)

      Don't forget "The Beautiful Ponies".

  8. TheAnimationFanatic

    It always amuses me when people on the right accuse the left of being easily offended snowflakes when growing up, all I heard about and saw were parents (almost ALWAYS Republicans) attacking media like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Potter because they were "satanic".

    Or how Conservative Christian groups boycotted and protested music groups like Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, etc because they were "satanic" or they "promoted devil worship". Hell, they STILL do that.

      Better yet, can we all just go by the motto: "Let People Enjoy Things"? I get that the new movies aren't everybody's jam, but we don't have to be jerks about it.

      That'd be nice. :adorkable:

      Is it weird that I prefer the DCAU to the DCEU? 

      Live action doesn't interest me very much. 

    3. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      Not at all. It's actually remarkable how a series of shows made for children is more nuanced and mature than the live action big budget movies supposedly made for adults.

    4. Sparklefan1234

      Sparklefan1234

      I'm glad I like the 2003 Teen Titans because the live action Titans show doesn't seem to be very popular. 

  11. TheAnimationFanatic

    Which fandom is worse: DCEU Snyder cultists or Star Wars?

      The thing about Star Wars is that's over 40 something years of stuff while the DCEU is still pretty new. 

    3. Megas

      I've seen several instances of people going on about how everyone is a Star Wars fans going on about how they're all united on one umbrella and they should appreciate the Star Wars experience, and then attack people for enjoying the prequels. It's one of those things where I love the franchise but I really want to distance myself from the fanbase

    4. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      @Megas Man, I'm right there with you. I saw it first hand when everyone was badmouthing the prequels 7-8 years ago and saying that George Lucas "raped" their childhood. And it's happening with the new stuff. Say what you will about the new movies, but none of the cast/crew deserve death threats or harassment.

  12. TheAnimationFanatic

    If certain sections of the Star Wars fanbase had their way, then saying ANYTHING positive about the new movies would become an offense punishable by death. 

    I mean, if you don't like it, then that's okay. But, don't clown other people for liking something that you don't. 

     

    1. Sparklefan1234

      Sparklefan1234

      Star Wars has never really been my thing but I understand why people like it & am happy that they do. :)

       

    2. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      The best and worst thing about Star Wars is that it's so wide reaching and has so many sides/tones, that there's something for everyone.

    3. Sparklefan1234

      Sparklefan1234

      I think my favorite Star Wars characters are the ones who don't talk. 

      So, the puppets & robots. 

  13. TheAnimationFanatic

    Wanna know how you can tell when people dislike a movie/show irrationally? They don't shut up about it.

      @Megas Hell, Im guilty of this, too. I stewed over how much I disliked Batman v. Superman for a while. But it stopped being fun pretty fast and I moved on once I got over it.

    I just thought of an interesting headcanon for what happened in between S2 and S3.

      It takes place a week after the events of "A Canterlot Wedding". Twilight is having recurring nightmares about not only the invasion of Canterlot, but also the night of the wedding rehearsal. As the nightmares get worse, Spike becomes increasingly worried about Twilight. She repeatedly insists that she's "fine", but Spike doesn't buy it. He secretly tells the rest of the Mane Six about how odd Twilight has been acting and they stage an intervention with her at the Library. 

      Twilight again tries to alleviate her friends' concerns by saying that she's fine. However, she relents and reveals that she's still upset with all of them over how they abandoned her at the wedding rehearsal. She then hallucinates that the rest of her friends are Changelings. Fortunately, she snaps out of it and after she tearfully describes her nightmares to the Mane Five, they contact Princess Celestia.

      Unfortunately, Twilight has another hallucination about Princess Celestia being a Changsling when she arrives and Twilight takes shelter in her room. Later, Shining Armor and Cadence also show up to visit Twilight after their honeymoon. Spike accidentally reveals what's going on with Twilight and what happened at the wedding rehearsal, and Cadence is none too pleased. Twilight snaps awake from another nightmare and her loved ones later agree to take her to seek help in Canterlot.

      That sounds like quite a sad story... probably a very emotional one to read. :sunny: Maybe I should read it at some point...

    4. TheAnimationFanatic

      It has a happy ending, if that makes you feel any better.

    Happy New Year, everypony!

    I wonder if I should do a scoring poll for Season 9.

    1. Tacodidra

      Why not! :) That would be good for a comparison between seasons. :fluttershy:

    2. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      Maybe. 

  17. TheAnimationFanatic

    I think that more and more people will come to appreciate The Last Jedi as time goes by.

    1. Megas

      Megas

      I'm not so sure

      Spoiler

      I think the amount of damage control done in Rise of Skywalker is gonna hurt it even more, as it's gonna make a lot of the decisions in that movie look even more pointless

       

    2. TheAnimationFanatic

      TheAnimationFanatic

      Meh. It's a cycle with this fanbase. They hate the new thing and then praise it once it becomes old and another new thing emerges. It happened with the prequels, it happened with the CGI Clone Wars series, etc.

  18. TheAnimationFanatic

    I enjoyed the new Star Wars movie. But I think I'm going to wait out the discourse in my bunker.

      I enjoyed it a lot myself. Fantastic plot, good acting, and exciting twists. They seem to always find a way to keep it entertaining/suspenseful in every minute of the movie. None of those boring dialogue and pointless scenes that we see in some movies nowadays.

      Now give it at least years until fans of the OT, PT, and ST start praising the sequels and complain about the 2022-2026 trilogy....

      I wouldn't get my hopes up. If hatred for the prequels hasn't died by now, then hatred for the sequels probably won't die anytime soon. If I recall correctly, there are even a sizable subset of fans who are still not happy with Return of the Jedi. But I digress.

    If life has taught me anything, it's that there are 3 topics that will cause heated debate:

    1. Religion

    2. Politics

      Yeah, those are topics I try to avoid myself. :please: Apart from MLP, of course (and I wouldn't have much to say about The Last Jedi, since I haven't even seen it). :ButtercupLaugh:

  20. TheAnimationFanatic

    Knives Out might be the best movie I've seen all year so far. At least in terms of how much fun I had watching it.

  21. TheAnimationFanatic

    The more I watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the more I love it.

      That one is slightly tied with The Phantom Menace as my least favorite, tbh.

      I can understand why it didn't do it for a lot of people, but it resonated with me in all the right ways.

    A brief rundown of all the movies I've seen this year and how I'd rank them:

      I didn't know what to think about Soul when it was first announced, but this trailer here, makes me really interested in seeing what it has to offer.

    Fluttershy would be traumatized by the first 5 minutes of Finding Nemo.

    Grafting the jock personality onto Supergirl and forgoing her love of science doesn't really work or suit her.

    1. Sparklefan1234

      Sparklefan1234

      This show "needed" a Rainbow Dash & I guess a character with "Super" in their name fit the bill.

      It is in the "My Little Superhero" universe.
