XCell posted:This show is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen on TV? I'll just say I think you've really limited your viewing experience. Certainly better looking than the GT Clone Wars series. And perfectly in tune with the movies? It creates an unnecessary gap with the appearance of a (pretty annoying) character (Miss Snips). I'm sorry, were you saying something? I couldn't hear you because Yoda just tossed a Star Destroyer at my head! Oh, and please never have a daughter. The show has had some decent stuff, but it's a step down in quality of writing, animation, originality.. The Tartakovsky cartoons felt more like they were made by talented writers and artists, and smart fans who took it seriously and enjoyed making it, and not just for the 'tasteless kids' demographic. The animation (more creative than the standard video-game 3-D look of this show) seemed to be made by actual artists, people who could.. you know. Draw. This new show feels like the creators don't care as much about quality or the characters, and they're more interested in pleasing the kiddies who will watch it (along with Power Rangers and iCarly) cause it's got lazer guns and robots and lightsaber battles.. Plus, I'm sick of 3-D animation. I'm ready for 2D to make a comeback and bury 3-D with a vengeance. So, yeah, if there's another animated series.. Tartakovsky and 2D, please.
Gry Sarth posted:This whole "I'm tired of CG" topic seems so absurd to me. How can you be tired of a particular artistic medium? That's like saying "I'm so tired of oil paintings, I wish they went back to watercolours." That's utter nonsense. You're not tired of CG films, you're tired of BAD films. Because the CG medium has expanded so much in the last years, everybody and their dog is making CG films nowadays. That means the crap/good ratio has reached a very uncomfortable level. There are simply too many cheap, unimaginative, badly written, badly animated CG films and cartoons being released nowadays. That has nothing to do with the CG medium itself. Good CG is good entertainment, and I can't get enough of it. Bad CG is no worse than bad anything else (2D, live-action, what have you). The only problem is that because making bad CG has become so cheap, they're producing it by the bucketload. The Clone Wars is NOT bad CG, it's pretty darn amazing for weekly television standards, both visually and creatively.

LawJedi posted:You know, I'm sold. I'm going to lobby the boys at Pixar and let them know that this CG things is for the birds. From now on I'm watching nothing but outdated optical model effects and Hanna-Barbara repeating backgrounds. And everything in black and white!

XCell posted:Why's it absurd to be tired of an artistic medium? That oil paintings/watercolors thing isn't really a good example, because there's several of both around. There's not much hand-drawn-looking 2D stuff anymore, and animated movies are all 3D now. Not like I hate anything that's 3D, I'm just sick of how it's taken over and how 2D has become a thing of the past. And I hope that will change soon.
