He makes a good point that I'm sure most here are aware of fully, but I still see many on the 'nerd right', the Critical Drinkers, the Nerdrotics, the Maulers, etc either be unable to see, or are being willfully obtuse about it. It's not incompetence. We are not dealing with people who are 'bad' at making entertainment. We are dealing with people who want power, and they see power as a zero sum game. For them to get more, you have to have less. For them to get what they want, you must have what you want taken away.
The 'I just wanted to be left alone to play my video games/read my comics/run my DnD campaign' types will always be on the back foot and reactive, because they don't see that it's not tenable for them to ever be left alone. The feminists and leftists running entertainment do not simply want to make their own stuff for their kind to enjoy. The fact that you exist, and things you like exist, and you are out there enjoying things you like somewhere else, is itself an existential threat to them, and they will seek you out and destroy you and what you like because they must, no matter how far away you retreat and try to stay out of their way.
A world where they have the things they like and you have the things you like somewhere else is not acceptable to them, and never will be.
I can't help but think we're dealing with both. If we were dealing only with competent people who wanted power and hated us, they'd be making subversive content that still brought in money.
For a simple example:
You make Bond subservient to an ugly woman, people bail on the franchise.
You make Bond subservient to an attractive woman, guys stick around and you push your agenda over several installments, while profiting.
Using established IPs to push their agenda is such an easy thing to do, that only explanation for the apathy they've cultivated is that they're retarded. They drank their own Kool-Aid and diversity hired their way into being bad at subversion and social engineering. Driving away the audience is an ineffective brainwashing technique.
Depends on what the goal is.
I think they're well past pushing an agenda, maybe as far back as 2015. The camps have been formed, lines have been drawn, and anyone tennable to their position has been recruited.
What they're doing is intentionally ruining everything we like. It's not about bringing us on-side, it's about demoralising us so that we don't fight back.
"Hey, your enemies are in charge of your institutions, take a look at what we're doing to your favourite cultural icons while there's nothing you can do to stop us" is the idea. The useful idiots who still support these shows are so weak that they don't even care that their messaging is incoherent; what are they going to do? It's the ones who had the stones to disagree when it was completely unpopular to do so that they're concerned with, which is why they're systematically deconstructing every single franchise popular among that crowd.
Money is not important to them, other than as a means to an end. Culture isn't important to them because they have their own that has been rabidly gatekept from us to the point that you're effectively guilty of a hate crime for even mentioning it. Production quality is important only insofar that someone working outside the industry can't replicate it.
The problem with the Nerd Right is that they still carry water for the studios. Everything they put out will be bad to a varrying degree, but they keep on with the "What if this is good?" copium. Did we need someone to tell us that Mongo and Gargle would be bad? No. Do we need someone to wade through hundreds of hours of fan content to find the diamonds? Yes, but they aren't, except for a handful of "indie" recommendations (that are usually tied to promoted Youtubers who have their own controlled ecosystem).
Almost all of the "remake" slop lately exists purely to act as Year Zero. They don't want you to think of the original X, they want you to think about X-remade with black disabled lesbians or TRT hormone injection furries.
It's not just incompetence, you mean. They are still incompetent when it comes to making games and movies because that isn't the job they were hired to do. The "burgers?" meme sums it up perfectly.
It's the fact that these people were hired explicitly to do what they did that the "nerd right" are missing. IOW, they still believe Hanlon's razor.
You know I enjoyed that pilot, I'm sure it was a titanic effort to animate, and I'm definitely going to have the guy's back if the woke hordes come for him, but I have to say the technical structure of the episode needs some work. Stuff just kind of happens, and I have no idea who these characters are. Some of that can probably be explained by this being a pilot episode, but still.
The guy has a LOT of potential, and I love his animation style, but he needs a writer.
I'd agree. I ended up watching the actual pilot animation after seeing this video and came to the same conclusion. It's got promise, but there is barely a central theme much less a story to it. You're right, he needs an actual writer that can come up with more interesting things to make these characters go through. Though I wonder how much of my opinion is due to my age. The earl 00s Kim Possible era of western animation was already after my time, which is what this is trying to recapture from the looks of it, so I have no idea how I would react to this episode if I were 13.
Well, I was prime age for the early 00s anime/western fusion style of animation, and I remember the writing being actually quite good. Probably VERY good when compared to the tripe we get today. I enjoyed things like Kim Possible and Totally Spies even though I was definitely not the target audience for either, and Avatar the Last Airbender was so good I have rewatched it as an adult.
When the Calarts beanmouth style started to take over in the 2010s, I completely lost interest in western animation, moved to anime and never looked back. I don't think that was just a result of me getting older, I think the quality materially decreased over time.
I'd love to see a King City or Vinnie Veritas (or other 2000s webby comic) story get made in this style.
It kind of felt like a throwback to Flash cartoons from the early 2000s more than broadcast cartoons from that era, so I'm willing to let it slide.
But I thought you liked Lesbians
Not this way friendo
