Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

Man, you are waaaaay too invested in this movie. :lol: 

It's an issue I have with a lot of the lesser American animated studios too. Difference here is I had higher expectations.

 

I get how ridiculous this all sounds to you, but I know no one else is going to talk about it here and I appreciate that I'm at least not being outright dismissed on the subject. It may be a weird fandom, but it's still a fandom and I don't think I'm any worse than how the Star Wars fans are reacting to TLJ.

Well, I'd say that the difference is that SW is broad and aimed at that "8-80" demo. TMP might incidentally be interesting to a subset of adults, but they're aimed at a pre-teen demo and have always been so. Using Octonauts as an example again, I think you could probably retool it to be cool and/or interesting to teen and 20-something guys (underwater adventures! cat pirates! Octopus professors!) but if someone makes an Octonauts movie and sticks to the extremely basic toddler-level stories, I'm not gonna hold that against them because that is their key demo, and it's what they should focus on. Not me.

 

If your quibble is you don't think the movie got as interesting or deep thematically as the series, isn't that basically the issue with any movie (based on a series) ever?

Not necessarily. The Simpsons Movie certainly aimed for more dramatic depth than the series (YMMV on whether it worked or not), as did the Shaun the Sheep Movie; which managed to do that while still being entirely kid-friendly. In this movie's case I'd say it attempted to, but the execution was so sloppy that it felt forced and left no impact.
