So I think We're all aware that there's a plethora of unknown but good quality animation coming out online from independent animators and studios. However, they've not finding as widespread success as they could be.
My question is, do you think maybe one way to turn things around would be a more stylish and, more importantly, concentrated curation spot for all these shorts and series?
Toonami cemented weeaboos in the west, and MTV's Liquid Television has given so many of those older shorts more longevity than they could've dreamed of if they'd stayed in the film festival circuits. However, those forms of curation were entertaining in and of themselves and had a style to them that captivated people enough to pay attention to the content.
So do you think if some cartoonaboos kept up a website that was promoting the stuff in one place, or if a major corporation had a block dedicated to getting these online series out to a broader audience, that it would help? and in what sort of style would you want to see something like that in?

This would help a lot.
Also Disney should every year do a big animation showcase to promote it as an art form, like the ones that happen on Japan. I think that they are the only company that could do something like this on the west.

Alright /co/ I know a lot of you like comics so I need your help!
There's a contest to create a character that is non-white and is culturally accurate.
The aim is to increase diversity in animated films altogether, but doing it accurately.

Horribly underpromoted, and it got crushed in the competition by Like Mike and Men in Black II, both of which came out that same weekend.
>>91511823
Warner Animation can't into films. Sad, because this one is great.
Honestly? I have no fucking clue.
Movie was incredible, too. And it's competition?
>>91511915
Fucking sucked. And I remember seeing adds fucking everywhere. So really I don't know how they fucked up this badly.
Honestly? Might have been parents refusing to take their children to see it. They probably thought it was too violent for girls and too girly for boys. I remember my dad used to laugh at me for watching it, and still to this day cites it as an example of me watching a girl show, so maybe it's own mold breaking shot it in the foot.
Shameik Moore will portray the hero while Liev Schrieber will voice the villain in the Sony Pictures Animation's project.

This. Like, what's the animated film gonna do? If it's Spider-Verse, it robs the potential future Spider-Verse MCU film. Anything this film does will reduce the excitement of it happening in the MCU.

I nutted to the scene where she broke the hammer. I think super strength is like a secondary fetish for me. Loved the chick in deadpoo.
>>91511531
She's a slim lady with pale skin, light eyes, and dark hair so she's automatically 10/10 on my boner scale. Would like to tickle her feet while she begs me to stop desu
>one of the most iconic heroes of all time
>top three even alongside Batty boy and Superdoof
>has never had and will never have a good movie
Which is more suffering, being a Spider-fag, or being Spider-Man?

It's a good thing that we read and appreciate the actual source material around here. Otherwise you'd have a point.
Apologize!

Still doesn't do anything at all to justify adding Scarecrow while removing absolutely essential characters like Lex Luthor and Captain Marvel.

How would yall react? Last one was pretty fucking good.
Kinda looking for a new toon to binge, memes aside is this show worth watching? Is the SJW shit as bad as they say it is?
>>91511174
Kill yourself.
>>91511208
>Is the SJW shit as bad as they say it is?
Not at all, in fact the show had a conservative character shown in a good light
This is Plastic man, say something nice about him.
HE'S MADE OF RUBBER
Stop these fucking threads
I hear life in plastic is pretty fantastic.
When is western animation ever going to create a work that can measure up to something like this again?
I have been waiting so fucking long for us to catch up. The US absolutely has the greatest resources for creating films and an neverending army of talented animators, so I always assume it was only a matter of time until we overtook Japan entirely and started making goddamn masterpieces they could never hope to touch, but instead we still get Cal Arts and tiny UPA style projects and fucking nothing in between. Studio Mir at least is trying.
I hope someone opens the doors for an older audience in the west, but that seems unlikely since Space Dandy didn't, and even that would just be one tiny step towards a fucking masterpiece like Animaniacs.
I love my all-ages intelligent comedy shows, but fucking goddamn, I want more. We could be great. If a bunch of Japanese people on a golden island can make this, imagine what we could do.
The short answer, never going to happen again.
Here's why. Television cartoons were created as a product to sell first, and children's entertainment second. Most of the shows you posted are examples of this.
Most of these shows came with Toy lines, accessories, and and other merchandise that companies could shill out. To this day, that's still the main drive to sell a tv show.
And if the show can shill out merchandise using sub par animation, then that's the new standard studios are going to set themselves to. You can thank the fucking MLP fanbase for this.

>It's a TMS Fag thread
Fuck off.
>>91510958
If that were the case then Gummi Bears & Bakshi Mighty Mouse would of never happen.
It will happen again.
So, Aquaman thread anyone? Been reading the late silver age/early bronze Steve Skeates run. Really, really fucking good.
I'm hoping we get some more reprints around the time of the Justice League movie.
Praying Liam Sharp is on art after based Sejic!

What are some essential Aquaman reads?
I loved NU52 and am loving Rebirth so far, but I also don't wanna feel like a poser for how much I enjoy this character.
>Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hit the tracking boards this morning and came on quite hot according to non-Disney sources. Rival estimates believe that the movie has the potential to feasibly open to $150M at the domestic B.O., and if the James Gunn-directed sequel gets to Captain America: Civil War proportions ($179.1M), that wouldn’t be a surprise.
>Total awareness for GOTG Vol. 2 is at a massive 88%, definite interest is at 63% and firsts choice at 28%. Of course, it’s a no brainer that males will show up. Females are strong, but older females are the least strong among the four quads.

Oh, boy...
Really can't wait for this. One of the few MCU movies that are any good. That said, why do we care how much money this make again?
Dragon Tales is returning with new episodes. The creators said that they were on an "indefinite hiatus for 12 years"
Are you excited?
