Can't find a place to talk about toons on Netflix in general, so I made one now.

Mod note

  • If you're posting video links to trailers, please try to provide a little context about the show as well.
  • Please tag your spoilers.
    Original text of OP 
Why? Because we got a huge animation update!

Netflix is making animated shows based on the books of Roald Dahl!

Expect Matilda, The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Twits among others!

In fact, we might be looking at a Shared Universe revolving around Roald Dahl!

This looks hilarious! In keeping with Phil Lord and Chris Miller I expect there to be some profound message/character study along with the over-the-top hilarity.

Netflix is doing two shows based on Far Cry.

During the final day of its Geeked Week event, Netflix unveiled Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. From Adi Shankar, Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is an adult anime series based on Far Cry 3: spinoff Blood Dragon. The series boasts a unique vapor-wave animation style and hails from creator and executive producer Adi Shankar. Producers are Hélène Juguet, Hugo Revon and Gérard Guillemot. Bobbypills is the animation studio.

Netflix revealed that another Far Cry anime is in the works. Far Cry is a first-person shooter that debuted in 2004. The latest iteration, Far Cry 6, will feature Giancarlo Esposito and will drop in October. No additional details have been revealed for the Far Cry animated show.

Yeah, when we say we want more queer characters, not like that.

I'll admit the music sounds nice, but this just looks like it's trying way too hard to get across LGBTQ representation. It's crass at best.

[up]I looked up who produced this shit and only two or three of the people involved (Cast and crew) are actually LGBT.

That's....not gonna cut it.

This sounds so offensive.

Would it be so wrong to get a superhero show with actual LGBTQ characters that wasn't a weird mockery and was still you know a superhero show.

[up]The guy who's serving as showrunner is a producer for Big Mouth, a show that's becoming Netflix's Teen Titans Go! in terms of irritation.

That explains a lot.

Yet more badly written gay characters to add to the depressingly long list...

One of the background artists came out, and he said that the trailer doesn't represent the hard work everyone put into the show.

On sidenote, I see lot of people complaining about netflix cancelling shows in three seasons and them not releasing episodes weekly instead of releasing them all at once but like... I agree first thing is disappointing, but its not like they are obligated to renewing shows. I do think it would be more nice if they were more open about it when they take on show though so that show runners would finish story in three seasons rather than ending third one on cliffhanger :p

On second thing is that they DO have user data, so if weekly episode format was really profitable for them more than binge format, they would know about it right? Like weekly format is more good for "weekly internet conversations" and keeping interest in show longer running and such, but thats not directly related to netflix's business model. It sucks for show itself, but again, its not like they do it out of stubbornness right? They probably do have data that says the binge format overall makes more money out of them and they care less about single show having long lifespawn outside of their service, soo uh yeah. Point mostly being that I don't think its about stupidity why they do latter.

I should check this thread more regularly, Netflix is what I use for my animation consumption. That trailer for America: the Motion Picture had me in stitches. Here's hoping it's at least charming.

[up][up] As much as I do think the binge format kills a lot of hype and conversation, it sometimes works. Again, it did wonders with Onyx Equinox, which only gained a sizable following after the rest of the series was released. I do think Netflix could afford to experiment with a few shows and compare and see if their shows do better as binge vs. weekly. I know they do this for some of their Korean dramas, but maybe something more "mainstream".

I wish they ordered more animation like they did with Dreamworks, though. Just order several hours of content and have Dreamworks split those up into different shows. Those series actually have a sizable run and have clear beginnings, middles, and endings. Unlike, say, Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, where they clearly thought they were going to have more episodes, and they didn't. tongue

How did I miss the Q-Force comments?

I'll admit to liking Big Mouth...until I watched I Hate Everything's videos on it. I felt very paranoid of not pleasing someone with a following but the criticisms and mockery were valid.

As for Q-Force, how did they let that slide? I have never seen anyone go that far. I feel even more guilty for my Netflix subscription.
