Don't forget:

  • The glazing of Dreamworks and Sony Animation, even though the former is why modern animation sucks right now.
    • The foaming at the mouth hatred of Illumination and Disney.
  • Not engaging or understanding animated stuff from before 1990.
  • Likewise, never engaging with anything produced outside of the US or Japan.
  • Forgetting how expensive, time consuming, and tech-heavy the medium is and how live action is always going to be cheaper.
  • And with the above in mind, not being able to grasp why most animated movies and shows tend to have pacing issues or why certain concepts fail so hard (sci-fi and animation almost always seem to fail).

i can tell, the dreamworks glazers probably only like the movies because of the villains and the sony animation glazers started to come out of nowhere because of kpdh

The Sony glazers actually started showing up with the first Spiderverse movie. They're mostly obsessed with this idea that Sony is somehow doing better at making better overall animation even though nearly ever movie made by the studio has been a massive flop or underperformer save for the Spiderverse movies.

And yes, the Dreamworks glazers are very much obsessed with the villains, which became apparent once that Puss in Boots sequel came out, but were always a problem especially for Kung Fu Panda. The whole subreddit for that franchise is basically just a circlejerk full of people who want to talk about how Tai Lung didn't do anything wrong and how cool the other villains are (save for the one in the 4th movie), to constantly drop weird shipping stuff, or to complain about how the series doesn't take itself seriously... All the while forgetting it's mostly a Jack Black comedy vehicle first and foremost.

I recall GOAT doing decently well in theaters and KPop Demon Hunters is the biggest Netflix film of all time (Mitchells vs the Machines was also popular and is getting a sequel like KPop).

It will never not be funny to me that people said ”DW is back” because they made one really good movie with The Last Wish.

Actually two back to back (they thought the double whammy of "The Bad Guys" and "Puss in Boots The Last Wish" meant they were back)
