#like she-ra or the owl house or atla

Finally got my dad to start watching Atla

[raayllum]

Sometimes it hits just how tonally different The Dragon Prince is from virtually every other kids show on TV and I lose my mind. I'd argue something like Infinity Train gets closest with its emphasis on psychological horror and morality, or even Transformers: Prime (if you know, you know) with its severe focus on war (aka one of the more lowkey episodes is a main character having a suicide bomb forcibly strapped to their chest). Steven Universe Future and Jurassic World: Camp Cretaeceous/Chaos Theory are also probably honourable mentions.

All of these shows have mature content in them, which isn't different from more popular shows like Owl House, She-Ra, or even ATLA, but often times in aforementioned three that content is presented in lighter ways and/or interrupted by bathos (this is true for She-Ra in particular). Most of TOH's heaviness is reserved for S2 Hunter or S3 Luz; ATLA has some episodes that particularly emotionally heavy (The Southern Raiders, Zuko Alone, the Southern Air Temple) or are quite hitting in exploring themes of colonization (Imprisoned, City of Walls and Secrets, Northern Air Temple), but a good deal, I'd say even the majority, are also pretty fun shenanigans, too. To be clear as well, a lighter tone is not a Problem never mind a negative (ATLA has a very strong thematic point to its own about the sanctity of children and childhood amid the horrors of how imperialism strips it away), but it is a tonal difference.

And it's not as though TDP doesn't have episodes where there are fun shenanigans (Callum and Rayla's initial exploration of Xadia in 3x02 is nothing but fluff, Soren and Corvus are a more gay comedic duo in 6x02) but the series more or less operates like "What if every episode was The Southern Raiders?" due to its consistent emphasis on grief and morality. They use words like kill and death and murder all the time.

From the pilot / opening episodes

and to when characters are having breakdowns because they murdered someone (and we're still supposed to like them) or have done horrible things, with the show's heaviness ramping up particularly from S4 onwards.

When loved ones die (and the show has a body count of 20+ named characters who have died, six seasons in, some even being children) the show depicts mourning in all its stages and ugly glory. The sadness, the anger, the revenge, the desperation, shifting blame and cognitive dissonances, thinking you had moved on only for that wound (which never fully healed) to be ripped wide open again.

Characters get tortured by being electrocuted or having their blood frozen in their veins or beaten up (5x08). There are successful assassination attempts (1x03, 3x02). People, even children younger than the main cast of characters, are put on trial with the death penalty (4x06, 6x09). Within the first three episodes, a character is running down stairs and tripping over dead bodies.

Sometimes three different characters in one episode will be having a breakdown or dealing with something absolutely devastating to their emotional state (2x08, 3x07, 6x01, 6x09, 7x01). The magic system is a trolley problem on steroids. Do you kill a monster to feed starving kingdoms, or to save yourself, or to save someone you love? What makes it a monster? What if the monster isn't a monster? What if you have to kill a child? What if it means killing your child? What if it means killing yourself?

There are two characters who canonically have cannibalized other people, one being a blood-drinker / vampire variant.

This doesn't mean the show isn't fun or funny. One character consistently thinks bathroom humour is funny (while being one of the most tragic characters in the entire show). The characters cheer each other up, take care of each other, are goofy, etc. The show is ultimately hopeful.

But the emotional weight afforded to the choices the characters are making, even good-intentioned ones with unforeseen disastrous consequences, the way show focuses on their emotional processing (or lack of) is very unique in the landscape of western animation, especially to this degree, I think. Never mind the increasing amounts of blood. Nor does this make the show inappropriate for children! Tiny me was morbid as fuck at 7 years old, I would've loved it, and I know many kids from ages 7-12 who do in my work as a tutor. But when people say "TDP isn't like most kids shows," I think what that means is sometimes lost in translation in conflating it with what people usually say aren't 'just kids shows,' when TDP... really, really isn't.

The show begins with assassins sent by a grieving mother to execute a father and his child in revenge for the father killing her partner and child, and it never lets you forget it.

Hey!!

Are you a fan of:

She ra

ATLA

The Owl House

Kipo

Wendell and Wild

Amphibia

Mitchells vs. the machines

Gravity Falls

Dead End

Puss in Boots and the last wish

Into the Spiderverse

Then I have a movie for you!!

Nimona is a movie coming out tomorrow, June 30th that’s been 7 years in the making! It’s based off the tumblr webcomic turned best-selling graphic novel of the same title.

It was originally being made by Blue Sky Studios and was going to have a theatrical release aimed around 2021, but after Disney acquired them and shut the studio down the film was scrapped. The movie was only about 10 months away from being finished, and it was shut down after Disney execs had pushed back against the queer themes/characters in the movie. BUT, Annapurna studios picked the film back up and finished it!!

Onto the film itself!

The movie follows Nimona, a spunky shapeshifter who teams up with the knight Ballister Boldheart (previously Ballister Blackheart in the graphic novel) after he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent on the run. His ex-boyfriend, Ambrosius Goldenloin, is tasked with hunting them down, but is conflicted between fulfilling his duty and his feelings.

The animation style is stunning and dynamic, and the visuals are so so good!! I would highly recommend checking out the movie and supporting it when it comes out, this is a big step for stylized animation and also queer rep in animation as well!

But the best part is that it just looks like an amazing movie!!

[the-uninformed-zennial]

in a hyperthetical modern au, what tv shows or music you think your characters would like?

Oooh okay, let’s see…

Mara would probably be a true crime/a really good fictional crime show girly I’m ngl. They’d probably watch and try to see if they could solve the mysteries before the presenter lays them all out, and get really upset when the police don’t do their job or the legal system fails the victim’s family. I think they’d see it as kind of a comfort of like “I’m not the only one who’s been through terrible things” and resonate really heavily with the victims. (Also ATLA, but they don’t tell anyone that)

Daisy would love Gravity Falls, The Owl House, bluey, She-ra, etc… like really well made kids tv shows.

E likes action movies

Aiden doesn’t watch tv. Unless it’s a documentary about how a fortune-500 millionaire made their wealth, or about like Alexander the Great’s rise to power or smth. And he will sit there and criticize the information the documentary presents because he’s a fucking nerd and probably already knows it all.

Mojave would absolutely watch like sit-coms and dramas. I personally don’t venture into this genre very much, but from what I’ve heard about them Mo would probably be into Friends, One Day at a Time, Full House, and other kinda like… light hearted family type sitcoms.

Z.N. Ines, despite what you may initially think, would NOT be into procedural tv shows (though I do think they’d find something like judge Judy hilarious). They’re probably more into comedies than anything else.

As for EOD… who needs tv when all the world’s a stage 🙃

[mostdisturbinganimatedshow]

Most Disturbing Animated Kids Show Competition!

have you ever seen something from a children’s show that was so disturbing it made you think “this was made for kids???” Well, we’re going to vote on which show is the most disturbing! disturbing in this context refers to moments, themes, and concepts which are scary/disquieting/nightmare fuel.

There will be four rounds of voting. The first round will have sixteen brackets, the second will have eight, the third will have four, and the fourth will have two. For the first and second round, each bracket will be up for twenty-four hours. I will decide how long each bracket in the third and fourth will be up as we approach the date. 

The shows are as follows:

Adventure Time

All Hail King Julian!

Amphibia 

AtLA 

Camp Cretaceous 

Carmen Sandiago 

Clone Wars

Danny Phantom

Dead End Paranormal Park

The Dragon Prince

Ducktales (reboot)

Gravity Falls

Hilda

Infinity Train

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts

Miraculous Ladybug

My Little Pony 

OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes

OTGW

The Owl House

Rapunzel: Tangled Adventure

Rebels (sw)

RotTMNT

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Star vs the Forces of Evil

Steven Universe

Summer Camp Island

Teen Titans (2003-2006)

TMNT (2012)

Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia

Voltron: Legendary Defender 

My criteria for this list was ‘western animated shows that started after the year 2000 and are explicitly for audiences 14 years old or younger.’ I have not watched all of these shows, but I have watched over half. If one of your faves didn’t make the list, I’m truly sorry. Tell me which show and I’ll include it if I do something like this again. By ‘most disturbing,’ I mean the show with the most disturbing concepts, themes, and/or moments.

The brackets will be organised by the show which started the latest against the show that started the earliest. Then, the show that started the second latest against the show that started the second earliest, and so on. Here is a diagram: 

And here is the matchups for the first round, in the order they will be fighting: 

Teen Titans vs Dead End Paranormal Park

Danny Phantom vs Kipo and the Ages of Wonderbeasts

Avatar: the Last Airbender vs Camp Cretaceous

The Clone Wars vs The Owl House

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated vs Amphibia

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic vs Infinity Train 

Adventure Time vs Carmen Sandiago

Gravity Falls vs She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

TMNT (2012) vs The Dragon Prince

Steven Universe vs Hilda

All Hail King Julian! Vs RotTMNT

Rebels (sw) vs Summer Camp Island

Over the Garden Wall vs OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes

Star vs the Forces of Evil vs Rapunzel: Tangled Adventure

[thoughtfulfangirling]

So my sister finished She Ra with my 10 yo nephew and 7 yo niece. She asked me last night for other shows like it and I can't believe I'm struggling to come up with some! She's already seen ATLA and LOK. Owl House is going to be too weird for her and insanely she wasn't interested in Gravity Falls (absurd!). Young Justice seems a little old for a 7 yo. My nephew doesn't like the animation style of X-Men Evolution so has turned that down. They did do an episode of Sailor Moon which my niece LOVED but my nephew found Usagi really annoying 😂😂

What am I missing? I think they're going to like things with story arcs and less episodic so I didn't recommend Teen Titans tho the kids might like it. They're trying to watch something altogether tho. Thoughts?

Out of curiosity, what other fandoms are you in, what genres of shows do you like and can I theoretically interest you in another pathetic one-sided wet cat energy ship?

been wondering if I should just redirect to my main or actually list as many fandoms I can off the top of my head. it's um. it's a lot.

ace attorney (all games including aai duology, the layton crossover and tgaa duology), my little pony, my hero academia, assassination classroom, the disastrous life of saiki k, toilet-bound hanako-kun, spy x family (anime only), buddy daddies, little witch academia, mob psycho 100, I'm in love with the villainess, omori, undertale/deltarune, homestuck, danganronpa, master detective archives: rain code, ghost trick, atla/tlok, phineas and ferb, steven universe, gravity falls, ducktales (2017), amphibia, the owl house, infinity train, young justice, some general dc comics/animated movies (I've read a chunk of flash and green lantern comics from the new earth continuity), she ra (2018), nimona, the ghost and molly mcgee, I've... watched a bit of miraculous ladybug but not every episode (a bit of a mess of a show but has its enjoyable parts LMAO), welcome to night vale, the amazing digital circus ig?? there's only 2 episodes out what does that count for, and probably more I missed out idk

idk if I have a specific genre I like, I'm not typically into live action, but I am curious what you're referring to

I don't really post as much on my main but you can check it out if you want @pinklovely05 but I think I covered just about everything I listed there

[coralcatsea]

Random thoughts regarding different fandoms:

(I've seen/read these, I just don't engage with the fandoms that much. These are just thoughts based on what I have seen of the fandoms.).

Death Note: Endless memes. Constant poking fun at all the overthinking going on. Putting these dramatic characters in goofy scenes about cake and friendship. The jokes never get old for me. I don't see much discourse, maybe an occasional conversation about whether or not Kira was right. 😆

ATLA: Zuko getting teased. Kataang and Zutara battling it out while Zukka laughs and slowly rises higher, taking more and more people as it goes. I'm not that interested in the ships, but Sokka ships are the best. NATLA wins the "not as bad as you could've been award" and "the effects were decent". Lots of fun analysation.

Percy Jackson: I feel Nico is a fan favourite. The main discourse I've seen for the fandom as a whole is whether or not Annabeth treats Percy well and whether or not Piper is annoying. A lot of people compare Percy Jackson and Harry Potter (the characters), and those who have read both seem to agree Percy is better. Like ATLA, there's a new live-action series that is a mixed bag, but much better than the old, horrible live-action movie (and sequel) in the past.

Zelda: DOWN WITH KOROKS vs STOP KOROK ABUSE. Everyone loves Sidon senpai. Glory to Master KOHGA. Most of the stuff I see right now is BotW/TotK related, but there's still some good stuff for other games, as well as the AUs people do with different Links meeting. Midna is the best sidekick.

Hazbin Hotel: I'm wary since there's LOOOOTS of discourse in this one. The fans can be pretty funny, though. I love the song edits and that there's a whole ship tag for Vox's unrequited obsession with Alastor. I also like watching people analyse the characters and writing.

Helluva Boss: Well...I once again like watching people discuss the writing. But I am hesitant to engage with any fans because I have a weird relationship with this show and don't think I really qualify as a fan. 😅 I watch it because it's so bizarre to me I can't look away. One time I gave characters different colour schemes for fun, and I got a bunch of annoyed asks from someone taking it too seriously. 😆

She-Ra: Catra Applesauce Meowmeow is a poor little meowmeow. Cat. I like the cat memes. I also love the comparisons between Scorpia and Kronk. Entrapdak is probably one of the better ships, yet has haters for some reason. The accusations have the same vibes as Beauty and the Beast accusations.

Owl House: Tons of Lumity. Personally, I'm more invested in Eda and her relationships with the other characters. Belos and Hunter get compared to Ozai and Zuko. Hunter is very popular. Everyone side eyes Disney for what they did. HOOTY SUPREMACY HOOT HOOT.

Miraculous: The Adrien vs Marinette discourse makes my brain hurt, but I'm glad we all pretty much agree Astruc does everyone dirty. Canon? What's canon? Usually I like and try to follow canon. Not here. Who tries to follow canon in Miraculous? The fans write the show better than he does. Love all the fan comics I see for this show. Chloe could've been more interesting. We all make fun of Smooth-Brain Gabe. We came for the Love Square and then started to hate it. Then Emonette and Emodrien came and reignited our interest.

[mysticetus]

making a post 😼

i really enjoyed atla :3 i saw a couple scattered episodes when it was coming out as a child but never actually followed the plot or got to know it outside of the general premise so it was really interesting finally seeing what the fuss was all about. it reminded me a lot of hxh (gon and aang kind of have similar things going on) and i like how it knows when to be funny and when to be serious. im usually like....not into kids shows in the way i see people get into say. she-ra or the owl house or the like. but i know atla is important for my generation...and it really exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways :) everything was set up very nicely and i like how it all converged

im steadily learning that prince zuko is everyones favorite so im not sure id have anything new to say about him but yeah i was enraptured by zuko. i love a character that writhes in pain on the floor gripping their head going grrrhhh im so stupid! im worthless! i have to prove myself at my own expense or i dont deserve anything! really just characters that beat themselves up and also have anger at the world i resonate with a lot. also his scar. me too boy

i think if i watched this show as a kid he'd be a pillar of my personality. i also like sokka just for the sake of stupidity. sokka and aang being stupid together was pretty lovely. + bumis an mvp for me. i still need to do some digesting but i think i could really dissect azula. she reminded me too much of my own mean sister for me to like her but at the end when she completely broke apart i was like daaaaamn azula. i love seeing girls have mental breakdowns. i think zuko couldve had a little more screaming and crying like she did

but thats my thoughts :) had no business whatsoever being a nickelodeon show but as a making fiends fan i stand behind nickelodeons ability to have hidden gem unconventional shows
