“Mass Effect Andromeda is garbage!” It hasn’t even come out yet. “The facial animations are terrible and there are other animation errors though!” First of all, who has ever, EVER played a Bioware game for animations or graphics? Bioware gives strong characters, good stories, great world-building, and competent gameplay and graphics.
Second of all, it is a rare, rare thing for games nowadays to be perfect for all players, even when looking solely through review copies. Games get patched. Chill out and enjoy the game if you like the series, or avoid it if you don’t. Personally I’m sure I’ll enjoy it just fine, even if there are bugs and graphical issues here and there.
Hmm… I’m not sure how to feel about it, regarding the criticism that says it’s just copying “The Book of Life”. See, it does look like an original story, but I do find the supposed difference in the start dates for their production to be suspicious as well.
I dunno. I want to see more of Mexico’s culture represented on the silver screen in creative ways, but on the other hand I want it to be done in a good way.
Hmmm… maybe someone more filled in than I am can clue me in to what’s bad about Coco right now.
Honestly, I think the hate that it’s getting from the teaser trailer alone is kind of par for the course for Disney films on Tumblr at this point, and it’s because it’s more because it’s Disney/Pixar than anything else. We’ve hardly seen anything on the film, so the posts comparing the variety of character designs in Incredibles to Coco and other Pixar films is rather moot, seeing as the characters that are cherry picked for the point are typically secondary at best and not the focus. The comparisons to Book of Life are fair, but again, we have hardly seen anything on the film yet so it’s really hard to judge.
Outside of the Cars series Pixar has yet to put out a truly bad film, and the worst they’ve done in the last couple decades has been The Good Dinosaur, which did poorly but was still a well made Western, so I have faith that they’ll do justice to Coco, and at worst put out a competently made movie that doesn’t quite stand on par with Book of Life but tells a different story.
I legitimately think the hate it’s getting is because Book of Life was a lesser known film in comparison to most things put out by Disney, and it didn’t do as well or got the recognition it deserved because of it. I’m pretty sure that if Coco wasn’t Disney/Pixar and was the exact same product being put out by a different studio Tumblr would be hyped for it.
No, not really the job for the donk. Fleshcrafters have to be pretty smart and dexterous, and need a means of enacting controlled change. Annamae has 0 of 3 requirements.
Good news: I made a donkey girl and I love her. Still not sure of a name, but as for backstory, we’ll say she’s an escapee from Pleasure Island.
Edit: Annamae spends most of her days plowing the fields of the family farm and tending to the crops (nicking a carrot or two when they’re in season). She doesn’t remember a whole lot of her life as Andrew before a trip to Pleasure Island, and while she managed to escape the cursed island she couldn’t fully escape the curse. She may have left Pleasure Island, but Pleasure Island didn’t necessarily let her go, and she now carries a sliver of the island’s magic within her, keeping her an anthro donkey forever. When aroused the magic can work its way outwards and can affect those around her, making asses of them as well.
No blog updates this week, but I may work something up for Annamae some time today. Questions and suggestions are welcome, be they SFW or NSFW.
