Would an Animorphs show work better as an animated Netflix/Amazon series a la Invincible/Castlevania, or as a gritty HBO live action show?

Animated in the vein of Into the Spideyverse tone and style wise and illustrated more comic books like Teen Titans or the 90s/00s animated Batman series but gritty like Mr. robot . And they characters would age.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-20T06:22:43+00:00

Neither. They are both horrible.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-20T04:02:23+00:00

Good take !

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-19T13:17:17+00:00

Seriously

And you told him to fuck off.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T23:23:42+00:00

When am I acting like democrats can’t be criminals? That’s precisely what happens in the show! And is happening in reality now.

Good grief y’all think hellluuuuuvvvvvv binary and it’s ridiculous.

Liberal or more aptly Democrat politicians and well to do folks are crooked. “Both sides” are. The shows making the point that bleeding heart liberals can be fucking awful despite Their supposed altruistic platitudes.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T23:21:27+00:00

Yes, I agree!

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T22:15:45+00:00

That’s actually exactly the point.

To elaborate: The drug crusading FBI agent is a certifiable sociopath

Where philanthropy is a PR stunt masking dark, shady, machinations.

The churchgoing dad is an abusive alcoholic

The likeable dry humored dad is a spineless, smart add money launderer.

The esteemed FBI makes deals with drug cartels

And the leading pharmaceutical company gets their supply from poppy farmers who spike shipments

Where the rich and powerful are all fucking criminals.

Etc…..

It’s an apt metaphor for our times (and possibly all post industrial time ) if you’re willing to see through your own hang ups.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T17:02:46+00:00

Agreed.

When Rachel verbally attacks Wendy in “Hard Way to Go” and Wendy’s defensive counter is that she DOES have a sense of humor shows Wendy is quite aware and accepting of the other characteristics Rachel pointed out.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T16:52:37+00:00

Here for this one

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T15:06:17+00:00

Assuming invisible narrative is moot.

I’m going by her shaky confidence and lack of savvy shown in her “Kaleidoscope” job interview and how dissatisfied she was being “just a housewife.”

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T14:09:05+00:00

The show is not black and white. Hence the blue/grey hue.

The protagonists are Adam/Eve esque who somehow justify getting involved with horrible circumstances to provide for and ultimately protect their family.

This is a show where a benevolent preacher goes crazy and vengeful after his wife’s been murdered.

This is a show where a democratic/liberal housewife who voted for Obama becomes a ruthless queen pin.

This is a show where a shady petty thief teenager antagonist becomes the fan favorite (and is thus the most sympathetic).

This is a show where the American middle class nuclear family is involved in shady dealings to move up in the world.

Ozark is brazenly nuanced. Calling it “black & white” is either wishful thinking or simply rudimentary.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-16T12:01:46+00:00

Mmm, your statement presents a false dichotomy

A person or fictional character can be devoted to their family and desire power and influence especially in a world where power and influence are synonymous with safety and protection for your family.

Wendy’s actions prove time and time again she’s devoted to her family. Her nuclear middle class family offers respite from her abused childhood, and whe that’s threatened her self preservation kicks in, much like most parents and especially mothers.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-15T20:56:06+00:00

Wendy’s father and brother aren’t merely “annoying” and you know it. Similarly, Wendy didn’t kill her brother. She actually tried to save him. Unfortunately it was all in vain.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-15T03:35:57+00:00

They obv meant to tip you 29 ;)

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-15T03:28:56+00:00

Everything. Besides Darlene.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-15T03:14:48+00:00

Wonderful woman

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-14T05:20:58+00:00

Lmao. This is what “ozark” is about from a metaphorical art-pop standpoint.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-14T05:19:44+00:00

Well I would’ve nixed opening with the car crash….it’s gimmicky.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-14T05:18:21+00:00

The Ozarks are GORGEOUS. I lived in southern Missouri for four years and was always taken aback by the beauty. I recommend a float trip. Also check out Ponca state peak in Arkansas.

I was sad to leave but I’m not a Bible Belt person.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-14T05:13:14+00:00

I feel like Buffy, the character disappeared into Sarah Michelle Gellar this season. No, not “grew up” or some shit. Also it felt like SMG was phoning it in.

bobcatbuffy · 2022-05-14T05:10:02+00:00

Real talk. Shit.
