>>22798 Sounds like you just don't like anything, anon.

>>22799 What can I say, I hate shit movies.

>>22791 >and they would say you always need a conflict and a villain or it would be completely non-interesting. But there are things that prove otherwise, like this example, and slice of life anime. The "conflict" in the story is just living life, smart-ass! Simply put, it's just the frustrations an annoyances of everyday life. One easy example to point to is Renkin San-Kyuu Magical Pokaan. In one segment, you have Yuuma putting on a magical show and getting frustrated about how it's turning out. In another segment, Aiko wants to become human, but she only has a day to accomplish it. Pachira and Liru both have a segment about them obsessing over a boy and the troubles that cause. There's another segment where they're all stuck in a elevator. All of that is conflict.

>>22758 >Can we solve the hubris of the academics, who hold that to be anti-academic is to be anti-intellectual? Hit them in their wallets. Home school your kids and encourage others to do the same. Note that home school doesn't mean that everyone only teaches their own kids (though I do think that has an appeal). Many home schoolers get together and make their own small classes, with parents each teaching one day every week or two, each able to focus on the subjects that they know best, which they are frequently actually specialists and experts in, since they all have hands-on experience with their varied careers, unlike teachers. Also, many home-schoolers hire independent teachers, but now the teachers work for the students and parents, and not some administration. Even private schools are still corrupted by administration, which is an extra step of separation from the students and parents. And private schools are also still cucked by government rules. Home schools have very few government rules, since technically they're legally classified as daycares, if anything, and the students just need to pass a few standardized tests, like the GED and things like that, in order to get the qualifications. Because go ahead and ask any actual students at any level of education, and they all know school is a waste of time, and they're only going to get qualifications so the government will allow them to have jobs. Anyway, home school and then academics will lose many of their jobs, mostly in administration anyway, since they're all just middle managers who are just more evil versions of the Pointy Haired Boss from Dilbert. At least his evil was simply banal. School administrators are responsible for pushing the SJW shit more than the teachers are. The teachers you see doing it willfully are a minority. Even the ones that are SJW will usually not go out of their way to make things more SJW, because really they're just there to collect a paycheck, and simply reusing textbooks and assignments from 20 years ago is easier. But administration forces them to make things more SJW. So home school, or private school if you can't home school (though that isn't as good), and the few people left in the education industry will be more beholden to students and parents instead of administrators and government. Universities are already losing their power as more and more average people are realizing they're nothing but cults that the government funds and says are the only groups that can give licenses that the government deems are legally required to hold certain jobs. While the latter is still a factor for people, the illusion that they actually teach anything is gone, and their proportional numbers are dropping, especially among people who actually do useful things for society, AKA men. Of course the problem then is that since the jobs that require qualifications are less done by men and more done by the cult-brainwashed women, the jobs end up not getting done at all, or done badly, and then you get engineers trained in how traditional bridge structures are misogynist, and hired because they are women and not because their designs are best, and then our bridges collapse. And for all the liberal arts majors these institutions churn out, who think they are brilliant artists who can see the underlying meanings of everything, none of them will stop to realize that those bridges are microcosms of society. But so be it. Since the government gives the universities so much power, they won't fix themselves. Either the people rise up and fix the government, or society collapses. I'll take either option at this point. It's better to fuck off innawoods and be left alone in hell than to serve in heaven. Pic related. It's George Costanza home schooling, not wasting his time in school with that maniac Mr. Bevilacqua, trying to climb a stupid rope. If only he was able to just stay at home and learn on his own, maybe he wouldn't be so fucking stupid. Maybe he could have ended up like that nice boy, Lloyd Braun. Well maybe not with his parents, but they could have hired somebody.

>>22767 >I know this is a very naive stance to take but I like to think anyone capable and willing to make something worthwhile will do so regardless of labels or cliques. The people capable of building bridges aren't allowed to do so unless they get authorization from a university, which demands that instead of learning how to build bridges, they spend the better part of a decade learning why they are evil for being male and white and not liking penises in their butts. So many people who are capable don't sign up for the training, or stop going because they realize they aren't being trained at all. But oh, wait, many of the people who would be capable aren't even accepted into the training because they are white (or asian) and male, and they don't like penises in their butts, but plenty of unqualified "people" get in literally because they aren't those things. The people who do finish the training haven't learned anything, and their grades are at least partially based on the same factors that got them into the school, instead of how well they can design and build bridges. And the graduates that then get hired aren't hired on their merit anyway, they're hired based on the same factors that got them into the schools. Then bridges fall down. Your only hope is the people who were actually qualified, worked even harder than they should need to so that their grades were so damn high they couldn't be ignored even though they were the wrong race and sex, and they had the wrong opinion on if it feels good to take a penis in the butt. Then those people had to sit through nearly a decade of soul crushing time wasting, being told in every "class" that they are evil for the way they were born, and that their hard work only makes them more evil. Then they have to continue being leagues better, and even then, they'll lose out on many jobs, but they might get some, and those bridges might not fall down. Except bridges take many people, and some of the others might be unqualified hires, and they might fuck things up anyway. Meanwhile if people who are qualified but don't want to put up with all that bullshit try to build a bridge, the government will stop them and put them in jail, or steal enough money that their lives will be ruined. So those people go off to become other things instead. And those things may be useful, but so are bridges, and those aren't gonna get built to as high standards as we had for thousands of years, because the government won't allow them to be. We have bridges from Ancient Rome that are still in use. Meanwhile we have modern bridges where the government is so busy celebrating that they only allowed women to work on their construction that they don't care that the bridges collapse within six months and kill hundreds of people. And again, bridges are just an example, and a microcosm of society. >I'm curious, what kind of rape porn do modern stacy SJW teachers assign? A teenage girl goes to a party and gets drunk, then she fucks chad thundercock, but later decides she doesn't like the realization that she is a slut, so she cries rape, and the guy gets his life ruined. The end. There. I just told 45% of the books that are assigned in Junior High and High Schools. Another 45% is about the holocaust. Maybe 10% is actual stuff that a kid might like, or is at least classic enough that the kid would learn some bit of literary canon and understand cultural references better. But oh wait, I forgot that now everything is about racism. So now it's 33% rape, 33% holocaust, and 33% racism. 1% standards or classics or things kids (or anyone who isn't a 40 year old SJW stacy) might actually like. But note that there is significant crossover between these groups. Many things will have holocaust, racism, and rape, or at least two of the three. In fact I'd say most would have significant crossover of at least two of the three. Rape is usually involved. Racism and holocaust don't cross over much though because jews and blacks both don't want to share the spotlight, but almost every book assigned will be written by a feminist cunt, and have rape in the holocaust, or rape that is somehow based on racism (which makes no fucking sense because, as other boards on this site, and dating site stats, for that matter, will show you, racists don't want to touch, let alone fuck, the races that disgust them). Also there is crossover between what I am counting as a "standard" or "classic" and the other three categories. I'm not going to complain about To Kill A Mockingbird because at least it is a very influential work that is commonly referenced in American society, so reading it will give students an understanding of those ubiquitous references. Also it isn't even really about racism at its core, it's about prejudice in general, as exemplified by Boo Radley being a much more important part of the book than Tom Robinson, but most teachers are too stupid to understand this. Also there are cases like Othello, where dumbass SJWs will try to claim that the moors were black and then make the whole thing about black people, even though A) the moors weren't black and a fucking cursory knowledge or google search of basic history would teach you this, and anyone with this Costanza-esque level of illiteracy of basic history shouldn't be a teacher anyway, and B) Othello's race is a side issue to the story at best. But they make it all about that instead of the themes that are far more prevalent in the play. But still, I'm not going to lump in Othello with all the black supremacist shit they're forcing on children, just because they teach it wrong. Again, Shakespeare is very culturally important, and at the very least, by knowing it, students would be able to interact more with a culture that constantly references it, so it is a much more valid choice to assign in schools than most things. The problem isn't that Othello shouldn't be assigned to students, it's that those teachers who teach it wrong shouldn't be assigned to students. And to answer your spoiler, don't worry, none of the rape porn is explicit. What makes them cum isn't the descriptions of chad cock, it's getting immersed in the feeling of "victimhood." "Ooh, yes, everyone feels bad for me. Ohh, they're all gonna kill that mean boy that I already had my way with before I stopped and thought about how he doesn't have enough money or status to help me monkey-branch up the social ladder. Ugggh, I love convincing myself that not only am I not a slut for cheating on Beta Brad with Chad Thundercock, but actually I'm the victim and therefore everyone else will treat me better. Mmmh, I'm so oppressed. I'm not a rich stacy that's never been told no in her life, and never felt an ounce of true loneliness or want, because not only am I too selfish and uncaring to be thankful for what I have, but my own fucked up worldview relies on convincing myself that all the people I hurt deserve it because they were born more privileged than me, even though my life is objectively better in every conceivable way. Oooh it's so good!." >>22763 You understand everything but you still call everyone who agrees with you Neo-Nazis. You realize that the same people who told you to call us Neo-Nazis think you are too, right? The very views you shared in that post are exactly why they call us Neo-Nazis, and you are no different.

american news is not only a joke when it comes to being informative, it's actually poison being pumped into the veins of the people who watch it.

>>22722 He just means that Batman and Superman are the major cash cows. Which they are. And even Spider-Man had to rely on nostalgia for the good movies that ended 15 years prior in order to get these numbers, since Sony and Marvel had tanked the series so hard ever since.

>>22724 Meant Batman and Spider-Man. Superman isn't the cash cow he used to be until the '80s.

>>21964 Klasky Csupo's style worked very well in the right contexts. I think Rugrats was one of those contexts, because the whole world was supposed to look kind of weird, because it's through the eyes of babies, and everything is weird for them. Also they themselves are pretty weird and gross when you observe them, and that's part of the show. The only times I really think their style looks weird is As Told By Ginger, since that show tries to be slice of life realistic stuff. A more realistic style might have worked better. Then again I don't like that show anyway. On the other hand, Ahh! Real Monsters! is a perfect fit for the style, because it's monsters, it's supposed to look weird. >>21972 I think they're all supposed to have flaws, but Angelica's parents are the only ones that are really bad. Stu is too childish and sometimes that results in irresponsibility, but it also results in him having a great bond with his kid. Didi is very well intentioned but represents all the problems with parents who try to parent from a book, listening to academics who are ultimately just talking shit. Chaz is obviously loving and protective, but his extreme protectiveness results in his kid being a scared little nerd. Phil and Lil's parents get less focus but it seems like maybe they're too lax and thus their kids are little weirdos. On the other hand, you have Angelica's parents, they work too much and don't spend enough time with the kid, but when they do, they spoil her with too much undeserved praise (perhaps because they don't spend enough time to build a real relationship and treat her with more nuance). Then when they do lose it and finally punish her, it's over the top, and sometimes she doesn't even deserve it. There are a lot of episodes of Rugrats where Angelica was being bad, but then she gets punished for something completely unrelated, or something she actually didn't do. Or times when she really didn't do anything but gets punished anyway, because the viewers understand she's a little cunt and deserves it either way. But it makes sense for the parents' characters regardless. Rugrats is deep. But every season after 3 gets progressively worse, and the fact that they've managed to make the new stuff even worse than the 2000s-era seasons is almost impressive, because those 2000s seasons were already awful.

>>22007 It was alright after the first movie and Dil was around but pretty much everything after the second one was ass. I mildly enjoyed All Grown Up for some reason, despite it being diet As Told By Ginger.

>>22030 Naw, even Season 4, before Dil, was a big step down. The show ended after Season 3, then several years later, when execs saw it was doing well in reruns, they revived it, but it was a clear step down. I'd still say Season 4 is perfectly watchable, and it's easier to group it in with Season 3 because it doesn't have extra characters, but in retrospect, if you're watching in order, you can see the difference. And then it gets worse with every subsequent season. I can tolerate the Dil seasons but I don't think anyone would say they're anywhere near as good. Then after the second movie they introduce like four new characters and it becomes really damn obvious that it's a different show. They also changed the format in some seasons so it's three 7 minute shorts instead of two 11 minute shorts, and that doesn't help things at all. By the later seasons they introduce even more main characters, and I don't think many people are even aware of that because of how bad the show got and how unwatchable it became. And then it smoothly transitions into All Grown Up. All Grown Up sucks, but it honestly isn't much worse than the already awful final season of Rugrats. And then it got even worse when they brought it back. It really is a shame, because it makes people forget how great the first three seasons really were.

>>21623 idk man, his works look pretty basic too and I'm friends with some artists who actually worked in orthodox churches so this does not come out of my ass. But even if his biblical illuminations were good, converting that into a comic is a whole different beast. It requires completely different techniques unless you want to tell a story in a way specific to reading church interior frescoes with all of it's wacky layout and transitions.

>>21624 Gotta admit, even though I like eastern Christian icons and art I'm still too new to it to have much taste in it. Is there anything particular you'd recommend besides just visiting Orthodox churches? >unless you want to tell a story in a way specific to reading church interior frescoes with all of it's wacky layout and transitions See, if someone actually managed to pull that off that could be interesting, but I'm not sure how accessible it would be.

>>21626 >Is there anything particular you'd recommend besides just visiting Orthodox churches? Your best option would be befriending an Orthodox artist/illuminator or art historian specializing in it. Because to value and judge orthodox art, you really need to understand how it's made. It's a weird combination of pure technical skill, tradition (canon) and artist's creativity yet still walking on the edge of what is canonically acceptable yet new. You can't measure it objectively such as "this has more colour" or "this one has better anatomy" >See, if someone actually managed to pull that off that could be interesting It could be pulled off, but that is a very, very niche interest which requires very high skill in both illumination and comic design, tho I wouldn't be surprised if it was already done. Remember, the frescos, mosaics and reliefs on the portals and the walls of churches should together tell a story as a big sequential art piece, much like a comic. You could say that frescos are predecessors to comics, much like Roman triumphal column are predecessors to frescoes.
