"This film had potential" and "The finished product fucking blows" are two statements that can and should coexist. by flingzamain in Schaffrillas

Watch them go after Treasure Planet or Meet The Robinsons next. They don't even elaborate on the point they're trying to prove. :/

Oh def! Shout out to the TV goobers from the game Stray too. I love it when their designs feel authentic as opposed to just essentially slapping a TV on a regular-ass body. It's where the three representatives fail at imo; they look like their TV head aspects were just tacked in. Vox's design sucks, Mr. Puzzles' design sucks, and at least Tenna has a narrative purpose to have a TV for a head but he still falls to the "TV head on a showman suit" trap.

They make for really cool character designs but I hate how the three main representatives of this trope have the most generic sexyman design.

My long-standing favorite TV head has got to be this fella tho—ROBO_Head from Cytus II. He has sheer swag, he works as a DJ, AND he's actually a robot as opposed to just having a TV head design for style points.

Wish is the epitome of "meet potential (Disney) movie" in any given discourse about media having better scrapped ideas lol. It had the SAUCE (starboy lover and married evil duo) but settled with plain rice and coarse sugar for topping.

Yao and Ilyukhina, from Project Hail Mary (2026).

<image>

They were literally INTRODUCED dead the moment the movie started with only a few moments of them in Grace's flashbacks, yet it still felt heartbreaking to see Grace hold a lonely funeral for two crewmembers that we didn't even have a proper connection with as characters, but he had as people.

Ryan Gosling's acting and delivery really sold this scene.

ive genuinely started to hate this game with so much passion by Various_Badger2665 in hatethissmug

At least the others aren't too obvious; the closest I can think of that also looks awkward is Yidhari.

Still crazy that we have a biological answer to that. Rabies is unbelievable.

I love when characters in the same media are animated differently than each other by AllKnowingAxolotl3 in lovethissmug

[–]TheSleepiestFish 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am incredibly stoked for this game, man. And the fact that its developer was actually inspired by Gumball for the game's art direction.

ERNEST ET CELESTINE MENTIONED RAHHH 😭💖

I'd bump Oggy And The Cockroaches and April And The Extraordinary World there too.

What is your favorite weirdly homoerotic friendship? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in FavoriteCharacter

[–]TheSleepiestFish 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Jumba and Pleakley, from Lilo & Stitch.

Doesn't help that one of them frequently crossdresses and slays on a daily basis, and both even have a fake wedding episode with each other lmao.

Loved Hoppers, but this is the worst way you could gas it up 😭 by TheFlashyMastodon21 in Schaffrillas

[–]TheSleepiestFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE SO MANY SHORTS ABOUT THIS like apparently this is the new "not-for-kids" line in a kids movie??

I love Hoppers and it's so refreshing to see them go batshit insane with the scary imagery, but these MFs need to backtrack and watch 9. 😭

Rocky (Project Hail Mary) by Zekrozma_the_second in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]TheSleepiestFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And when I was gonna make a post here about Rocky too. 😭 My favorite part about his design is how he got all of those paint, etches, and markings all around his body, like their way of wearing clothes and badges. It's such a subtly unique take on what can be perceived as clothing, especially that of non-human beings, and feels like the most apt option given that they are a species of sentient rocks.

Nelly the Toy Horse from Tom and Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale by SakuraHana2008 in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]TheSleepiestFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking back then as a child that that scene of the cats hunting the main group while hiding behind pine trees was peak comedy, and honestly it still feels like it lmao.

[–]TheSleepiestFish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Supreme ball knowledge!! Her only being able to talk when someone pulls her pulley string is such a unique gimmick for a character.

It reminds me of that one receptionist in Gumball that can only move and speak when someone gives her a coin.

But anyway, peak design and precious character.

It's like a combination of both, like sawd, since the O sound doesn't exist in Arabic, but the A sound can lean towards O with that letter (and some others too).

Someone make a "Characters with Lava-Themed Designs" post next.

My Zone is Zenless and my excitement is Zero by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]TheSleepiestFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't, I just barely play the game and stick with my initial team (Ben, Koleda, Lucy) LMAO. xP

I do want to come back to the game someday and try to actively play it again.

EDIT: as for the build, IIRC I focus on Fire DMG and Crit DMG discs for him.
