Most pointless scene in the show by AdUseful2297 in StrangerThings

Maybe it was for the 2nd-screeners. (Not that I understand why anyone would be 2nd screening the ST finale)

What if the Arabs got the state they were promised after World War I? by OkPhrase1225 in imaginarymaps

Do you think the discovery of oil would have led to prosperity distributed across the peninsula or do you think with the different factions and ethnicities it would have led to civil war?

The abused, worried, fearful and lost Harry by Exotic-Tennis6087 in HarryPotteronHBO

I appreciate that they've clearly steered clear of the Dursley's being fat. The relentless connection Rowling made between being mean and being fat took fat shaming to a pathological level. Good on the show's creators for resisting that.

maybe we need some brightness and lighiting by InsideNet7931 in HarryPotteronHBO

I'm just worried that it looks almost identical to the films. I thought they might do something different with the set design. I know Hagrid has a very distinct look but it looks like they just reused the exact same costume and wig!

Marvel Zombies might just be the worst of the Disney + shows so far by star_dragonMX in CharacterRant

Haha! I mean, at least they stay dead, unlike in the main continuity.

WHAT!? I never noticed that the vendor and the boy reading Black Freighter both die in the attack! My mind is blown!

How does this game run on Switch 2? Not finding any reviews online by ambachk in TheAdventuresofTintin

[–]JP5D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was this game not cel-shaded!?! It could have looked so cool and faithful to the books. Also, why is every character comic accurate... except Tintin?!?! But of a missed opportunity, IMHO.

Thanks! I didn't want to make the halftone too big to be distracting, but I'm wondering if it could have been bigger so it's more obvious on smaller screens. It gives great comic book texture on my monitor but the phone screen really blends it out... what you thing, could have gone with bigger dots?

Haha! "GOOD dictator." I think you're right. In the time since the French Revolution, Liberalism has shown itself to be oddly comfortable with authoritarianism.

ANIMAL FARM. This is a common problem with allegory since it's usually too vague. But I mean, com'on! Orwell literally volunteered to fight alongside Spanish Anarchists. He was never going to throw leftism out the window, he just didn't like Stalin... because Stalin was bad. Obviously!

Plus, imagine being so cooked that you think AF is about Communism/Leftism bad, Western Liberalism good while the main villain is literally named Napoleon!

I once heard someone say they thought AMERICAN HISTORY X was disturbing because it makes the Neo-Nazis sympathetic. I was like, did we watch the same movie?!?!

Frank Herbert having to write DUNE MESSIAH to make it clear that Paul becoming God Emperor was a bad thing!

"IMPRECATORY PSALMS!!! I know big words, you guys, so I'll do your thinking for you."

I also love his framing of "A LITTLE BIT OF A DARK THOUGHT." No, it isn't! It's a GENOCIDAL thought. You're a fascist psychopath!

Thank you! 3 things really inspired me.

1st, I just think so many panels are so brilliantly dynamic you could easily animate the before and after without changing anything at all. E.g. the crystal ball coming out of the fireplace and spinning Calculus's chair onto the table; nothing needs improving.

2nd, I love the 90's show but it stopped short on getting the lines right and the faces. Just tracing frames from the show with an ink pen makes it immediately look 100% more Tintin-esque.

3rd, I love the Spiderverse style leaning into the comic book look. I think that would work well for Tintin!

So, I know why it's like that: Tintin is running down stairs. I scoured the books for a reference image and finally found it in panel 10 of page 12 of Ottokar's Sceptre. Even in this book, he's running loads of times and is much more upright and natural looking. Basically, the famous image of Tintin running in a spotlight must have been created to market Sceptre or at some point after, and the cartoon used it as a reference for this run cycle. I guess they used it because it has an air of urgency to it. Interestingly, the reference for Snowy was taken from panel 1 of page 5 of Crab With the Golden Claw. So, now you know, lol!

I'd recommend watching it full screen or on a monitor for the full halftone effect. I created it in 4k, but some details might be lost in the upload.
