>It's as close to an introduction to NNY as I wanted to get. There isn't any real insight as to just where this messed up guy is coming from, how he got here, and why he's so spotty in the head, and I like it that way. Too often insane people have these hideously contrived origins having to due with having a traumatic childhood, or people treated them badly so now they must get revenge. I've never given much thought to Johnny's past, and I find the blurriness of it all much more appealing then making him go nuts over being pantsed in school once. "YAAARGH!!! I have been pantsed!!! I kill like the damned now!!!" That's just not done. - Jhonen Vasquez
Is this a better approach to character backstories?
>>94167610
Nny compulsively killed to keep the actual factual reality-ending extradimensional Yog-Sothothic entity that overlapped [The point in space and time where Nny and his house exist] from erasing and remaking all of reality.
I think vague is good when you have a serialized comic, when it comes to something wrapped up it depends on who the character is. Protagonists can be better explained over time like Guts, but some are better left senseless to add to tension. A backstory is dependent on the feel of the character.

All right, lads, time for bets: how will Annie take Anya's story of how Tony and Surma fell in love? Will she absorb it calmly and rationally? Or will she reject it at the end and continue to lose her shit?

Why didn't /co/ ever tell me about this show? I'm only a couple episodes in but it's showing promise.
Animation, acting, and story are great. So far I'm enjoying it more than Wakfu and no subtitles. Is there a defect I don't know about?
>>94167392
>Why didn't /co/ ever tell me about this show?
There was at least 3 threads this week.
I don't know why it doesn't get attention here. Maybe Amazon just doesn't market well enough.
The character design is brilliant, and the animation, particularly the posing and lip-synching, rarely cuts corners, which is a rare find even in big-time animated shows. In addition, the backgrounds are absolutely lovely, the high-fantasy future setting very reminiscent of Samurai Jack (and holding the show in the respect that I do, I don't use that comparison often).
I saw this exact thread last night
What does /co/ think of Talking Tom & Friends?

>Advance Review: Disney XD's SPIDER-MAN 'Slow, Safe, & Boring' (4/10)
>If there’s one major flaw in the new Disney XD series Marvel’s Spider-Man, it’s that the show fails to capture the essence - or even the likeability - of its main character. Despite a solid foundation and a strongly developing visual identity, Marvel’s Spider-Man forgets that no matter what else it gets right or wrong, it has to nail Peter Parker, and in focusing on cramming in dozens of cameos, threads, and Easter eggs into the two-part premiere, the main thing that’s missing is the charm that comes from Spider-Man himself and his put-upon, relatable personality. Yes, it delivers many of the big Spider-Man clichés - Uncle Ben, webshooters, Harry Osborn, Spider-Sense - but these oft-repeated standbys are mashed-up into a world that feels rudderless without a charismatic lead or enough of a new hook to keep viewers engaged.
>Set in a world where Peter Parker’s journey to becoming Spider-Man happens alongside his admission into Horizon High, a new science-focused high school, Marvel’s Spider-Man jumps past the origin we’ve seen before just enough to potentially offer some new ground. Fans of Dan Slott’s Amazing Spider-Man “Big Time” era will be right at home, as Horizon High offers a simple twist on Peter’s former employer Horizon Labs, complete with Principal Max Modell - and there are some clues, like Otto Octavius and the Living Brain, that could be hinting at a “Superior” future for Peter. And given that it’s almost a lock that Peter’s three classmates - Gwen Stacy, Anya Corazon, and Miles Morales - will all soon become heroes of their own, we may be in for something of a “Spider-Verse” as well.
>>94167171
>But putting Peter in a more specialized high school - one so chock full of Spidey characters and Easter eggs that you can barely keep up – isn’t enough to separate this series from the previous iteration Ultimate Spider-Man which was also focused on a high school setting, especially when the focus of Spidey’s adventures becomes the general, vague concept of “science.” While Peter Parker’s story has always been a sci-fi tale at its core, the “science” theme in Marvel’s Spider-Man isn’t really a tool for teaching or driving adventure so much as an oppressive pall that bogs down the show’s pacing and turns Peter Parker into an insufferable know-it-all nerd.
>For example, there’s a continuing theme through the show’s opening fight scene with the Vulture in which Peter is constantly checking and adjusting the PSI on his webshooters. It’s a terminally boring choice that, because there are few consequences and little actual application of the premise behind Peter’s actions, simply bogs down the already slow fight by constantly jumping back to Peter doing little more than checking his watch. The other side-effect is that he’s constantly correcting other characters or acting confused when they don’t use the right scientific terms. We get it, Peter’s a nerd - does he need to veer into Sheldon Cooper territory to prove it?
>The pacing of the fights in general is also a drag on Marvel’s Spider-Man - characters often stop to monologue or make observations as time seemingly slows to a crawl to facilitate exposition, and Spider-Man rarely seems able to both talk and move at the same time. There’s a scene where Spider-Man and Vulture have an entire conversation in between Vulture shattering a window and the glass hitting the ground. Pure comic book pacing, to be sure, but when presented in a moving, breathing medium with an inherent sense of time, it becomes almost surreal.
>>94167195
>The stilted, Flash-style animation doesn’t help either. Spider-Man’s fight scenes at least get by on Peter’s acrobatic poses, but any scene where normal human characters have to move in an environment or simply exist in a wide shot makes the seams all too clear. And weirdly, the sound design is similarly oppressive - an important conversation between Peter and Harry is nearly drowned out by bizarre, generic music, for example.
>If there’s one area where Marvel’s Spider-Man truly excels, and which gives me hope for the future of the series, it’s the character design. Taking a page straight from Hayao Miyazaki, there’s an expressive, anime-influenced take on the characters that is unlike anything we’ve previously seen in a western superhero cartoon, and which fits the characters perfectly. Peter, Harry Osborn, and Max Modell look exactly as you want them to look, and Scorpion, the second major villain of the show, looks better than he has in years, especially with his goon-ish, almost barbaric face and hulking size. Oddly, the strength of the designs does occasionally lead to moments where the characters look too good against the flat, unengaging environments they’re in.
>The show’s voice cast is also hit or miss - Fred Tatasciore’s Max Modell and Melanie Minichino’s Anya Corazon are particular standouts, while Robbie Daymond who plays Peter is almost entirely charmless, monotonally blurting out science words and extended soliloquies about his role as Spider-Man. There are a few surprises in the cast, as well. Patton Oswalt as Uncle Ben feels just right, even if the character design is incongruous with Oswalt’s voice, and legendary voice actor Scott Menville offers a unique twist on Otto Octavius that is one of the show’s most interesting premises.

Was it that good or is nostalgia overrating it?
>>94160139
Unlimited is good because they ditched the mandatory 2-parter rule that held the first series back.
Bad stuff is the show was blatantly made to avoid the 3 seasons rule.
