Arzach flew, so that Taarna from Heavy Metal could soar.

And violently decapitate people in the process.

I'm really impressed by that steam engine, whatever animation you're creating it's good that it features a train.

I bounce in & out of Twitter & Bluesky from time to time & the one thing I've noticed is how one side of social media completely embraces chaos whereas the other subdues it & it gives you a really clear idea of just how people use social media which is both fascinating & quite distressing.

Very unique design.

Stories like The Frost Giant's Daughter, Red Nails, A Witch Shall Be Born, The Hour of the Dragon etc could make amazing four-part or five-part episodes if you do them right.

We're sitting on an idea that should have been done ages ago and we're not doing anything with it.

Don't aim to please people, otherwise you'll just be a doormat people wipe their feet on.

And it's getting to the point where nostalgia just feels boring, we can't move past what we saw when we were children and so the only way to keep our attention is to have that refed into us as if that's all we're going to eat.

How about...

...have you ever considered...
...perhaps...
...and stay with me on this...
...maybe...
...adapting REH's Conan to animation instead?

Arnold is NOT the be all/end all of this character, we have all the opportunity to do it right this time.

Bombay Potatoes are a thing & it's why whenever I go out shopping I always make sure to get them.

They are a really good side dish for curry.

You could almost make a Lofi of ASMR video out of this, it's just so relaxing to have on in the background.

WHY this got thrown out in favour of what we got for Hoppers is anyone's guess.

And the more you see things like this the more you can confirm.

2D animation is NOT dead, it's just surviving in countries that can actually appreciate it better than someone like America.

But apart from that this looks really good.

Something that I don't think we've properly discussed upon and we constantly ignore.

America has this HUGE disdain for the medium of animation & still chooses to see it as a GeNrE.

Compared to the rest of the world who actually appreciate the medium, America embraces narrow-minded insularity.

Make Blood Meridian into an animated movie & cast Bob Joles as the voice of Judge Holden.

Problem solved.

Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian would make an incredible animated film.

YEEESSSSS!!!!

I get it.

The idea itself seems so finite that anything else in terms of expansion would just feel like exploitation rather than genuine creativity.

But it's nice to imagine what could have been at least, because I love the concept of this film so much.

08.03.2026 02:51 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

This movie had a profound impact on me so much so that I had the toys as well as the PC game Small Soldiers: Squad Commander.

Great times, all that was missing from this was a Saturday morning cartoon to really bring it together because the formula felt right for it.

I loved this movie SO MUCH as a kid & I need to rewatch again at some point.

Everything about it was just so much fun, right down to how unique & incredibly creative the concept was and how the Gorgonites & Commando Elite were as characters.

Everything about that film is exceptional right down to the music.

Once it's got its hooks in you it doesn't let you go until it's job is finished.
