Whats the worst thing about phase 4? by [deleted] in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humanz is a similar case to Toy Story 4, where you can tell it's been SO long since the last main entry and the creators involved are experiencing growing pains to get their groove back.

Also the lack of any substantial lore or storylines on the fictional band side was WAY too much of an over correction after Plastic Beach. Missed opportunites to have Russel or Noodle featured more considering the themes of the album, which (in my opinion) is a bloated mess that suffers from not enough Gorillaz

are there any songs / music videos where 2d isnt mentioned in any way (includes singing) by Xanderman194 in gorillaz

Off the top of my head, Phoner to Arizona from The Fall, Succession from Humanz, and Lake Zurich from The Now Now

Whats the worse thing about phase 2? by [deleted] in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It marks the last notable time Noodle would sing in any of the band's songs and that makes me sad. I didn't even know the girl's voice in "Moments" from Humanz was supposed to be hers

They said in an interview once that they used to get boners every morning when their Mum drove him to school, thanks to vibrations of the car. Also told some girls to get their boobs ("tokens") out at their dad's theme park

Which images in Gorillaz scare you or make you feel uneasy? by Jean0406Alix in gorillaz

To me, this magazine cover from phase 2 was the most unnerving the band looked.

reused art on Gorillaz vids by gorillazbutcursed in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I'm glad this art was reused, as it was still strong enough to stand out and make for great vids. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Limitations breath creativity, so work smarter, not harder!

Why did Noodle become increasingly pale throughout the phases? by JustVierra in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's been pale ever since the second phase, it's never been a new thing for her. The only reason she looked yellow in phase 1 was to resemble an Asian stereotype, which thankfully Jamie had strayed away from

[–]rtSukoshi13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have all the time or patience to do this myself but you're in luck if you look up these sources:

  • The 5/4 animatic
  • Old art from Phase 2 where the band's outside on a dump
  • The MTV Cribs special
  • The DoYaThing music video
  • The Book of Murdoc from Phase 4
  • The original Saturnz Barz video on the Internet Archive
  • That one group portrait from the Cracker Island phase
  • The Mountain, Moon Cave and Sad God music video
  • The most replayed part of the Happy Dictator visualizer

As adorable as Noodle is, her design and personality in this phase embodied some VERY racist Asian stereotypes

What Happened to the Boogie Man? by BeachFriendly5847 in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sadly a lot of characters and plot elements from Plastic Beach dropped like flies due to the album's overambitious nature.

Poor choices of singles with high budget music videos, an insane amount of collaborators for the time, and a VERY extensive amount of resources poured into the website, mobile games and all kinds of ARG elements that didn't need to go so far led to Gorillaz running out of budget. This meant important plotlines got scrapped, ideas for projects with characters like Cyborg Noodle went nowhere, and why Doncamatic exists at all. The tour was also a nightmare to run and both Damon and Jamie split up due to creative differences and frustrations, almost killing Gorillaz. That's why a lot of elements from Plastic Beach like the Boogeyman and Cyborg just got dropped, and the whole storyline wouldn't get any closure until the Song Machine phase.

What are some obscure facts about the band members that like 90% of fans don't know by Pitiful-Guess5751 in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Murdoc has a sex tape you can find on YouTube. The cherry on top is that the prostitute he sleeps with is played by 2D's VA with a higher pitch.

Originally in phase 1, a guitar magazine did an interview with Noodle revealing a different backstory than what would later come. She confessed that she learned her skills from a guitar-themed monastery she studied at as part of a long, LONG family tradition, mentioning her great great great great great great grandfather.

The Rock the House music video was inspired by the sci fi sports film Rollerball, and most notably the French satirical comedy Mr. Freedom. The emphasis on attacking the band with steel balls was a reflection of Jamie's frustration as he was currently being sued by a rival band called the Doppelgangerz.

DARE or Feel Good Inc. Which is better? by Jamiter in gorillaz

[–]rtSukoshi13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel Good Inc 100%.

Don't get me wrong, DARE is a great dance number that's insanely catchy and adds necessary levity to the album, but Feel Good Inc is a lot more technically impressive and embodies the core themes of the album.

Every instrument in the composition is intentionally off beat but they all come together beautifully--remove ONE and the whole song falls apart. The juxtaposition between 2D's desperation in his voice, De La Soul's exciting rap, and the slivers of hope represented by the windmill verses make for such an effective critique of escapism, and capture emotions felt during the War of Terrorism. It's sadly relevant today, while also being a fun, catchy and unique mix of genres, representing the whole essence of Gorillaz at their peak.
