Can I say something apparently very controversial?

I liked the 3rd season of Squid Game.

Did it end in the way I wanted? No.

Did the season in general go the way I hoped? No.

Was it still enjoyable, brought me to tears, and was in general fucking badass, reminding us just how miserable that place is? Yes.

The whole time I was on edge thinking that it couldn’t get any worse for them and it did. Lives were ruined for entertainment. And that was the whole point. I liked the delivery and how they handled everything.

The whole point of the show is that you never get what you want. Everything is against you. Sometimes there’s just no happy ending.

First regeneration: nooooooo grandpa died 😢

Second regeneration: the doctor is forced to get help from the people he ran away from, knowing perfectly well what they'll do to him, but his companions don't understand the mavity of the situation, they just think he'll think of something, wiggle out of it, like he always does, so they tempt him to run away and for only a moment he believes there's hope before the time lords seize his ship and put him on trial for the crime of wanting freedom, his companions still think there's a chance but even that escape attempt is crushed and there is absolutely nothing the doctor can do as his friends are taken away from him and their memories wiped, and however much the time lords let him plead his case they are going to kill and exile him and there's nothing he can do, nothing he can do at all

Third regeneration: nooooooo grandpa died 😢

Everyone talks about the tragedy of animated media getting reboots that replace their excellent art direction with uncanny realism —like the Lion King and its “live action” reboot—- but there’s one series that embodies that tragedy better than anything else. And I need to share it with you all because I can’t be the only one Haunted by it day and night. Please let me tell you the Sad, sad story behind this image:

There was an early 2000s video game trilogy called Sly Cooper, whose main appeal was its super unique art direction, style, and atmosphere. The trilogy had a unique tone focused on a cartoon Phantom Thief who did Moody Atmospheric Heists in a comic-book-inspired world.

The trilogy integrated 2D animation into the game for cutscenes, and the characters-- while low-poly-- were designed to look as much like those flat 2D cartoons with cel-shaded outlines as they could within the limitations of the Ps2.

It took heavy influence from comic books and anime, especially Lupin III. The first game even had alternate anime versions of its 2D cutscenes that you could unlock!

Nearly all the levels took place at night, but the designers talked often about how their goal was to create the illusion of night time through vivid color palettes rather than darkness, taking inspiration from the vivid nighttime cityscapes in Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge.

As a result of their stylized art direction, the visuals-- primarily in the second one, which is the one that focuses the most tightly on Thieving & Moody Atmospheric Heists-- still hold up today.

And then Sly Cooper started appearing in “brand crossover games” and “reboots” and Oh god. Oh no. so that's why no one talks about it anymore.

I am haunted by this. People talk about their favorite cartoon character getting hit with the Uncanny Hyper-Detailed Beam and I instantly think of the sad fate of poor, poor sly cooper, who I am very nostalgic for, and his now-dead franchise that hasn't had a new installment in over a decade.

But to me this really emphasizes how strong art direction is far more important than polygon count, realism, or level of detail. Because there have been similar franchises rebooted in ways that manage to elevate the old 2D-inspired art styles with more modern graphics. Toys for Bob's new takes on Spyro and Crash Bandicoot both had stellar art direction!

But that kind of thoughtful art direction can be difficult to achieve. It's not even the fault of the artists or developers; these things are often beyond their control. But I am glad we're in an era where stylized 3D animation is becoming more popular. I hope more creators continue to realize that there is actually a big demand for media with interesting, unique art styles! also you should play sly 2: band of thieves
