Me when someone justify blorp 4 being absolute dogshit because "its for kids" (the original was for kids too) (This is not even ironicaly,i hate those kind of people)

[@mathguy97]

The existence of Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005) should have ended this discourse but of course we live in the worst timeline.

I don’t get it

[@robertwagstaff1126]

​@@TheCryptisreal You see, it's because the channel name is "Man Carrying Thing" and the skit in question is about the popular movie criticism website Rotten Tomatoes, so the commenter has combined the two into one phrase. Now, what makes this joke clever is that tomatoes (in real life) are actually small things (thing, as in a generic term for a physical object) that one can easily fit in their hand and carry, possibly in preparation to lob at a terrible performer.

We just didn’t need a Blorp 4. The third one wrapped things up perfectly. Now they are just trying to get a cash grab.

[@SimonBuchanNz]

Everyone said the same thing about Blorp 3, and they knocked it out of the park then. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt even if I can't see how they're going to keep it fresh either.

[@pun2023]

Unpopular opinion: Blorp 4 is better than Blorp 2

[@daviddoingstuff4725]

I think Blorp 4 was made terrible on purpose as an “eff you, studio” from the director.

[@channel45853]

Hot Take: Blorp 1 is underrated and the other Blorps just got worse the further they stayed from it

[@ohio9499]

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." -CS Lewis

[@bingusman69]

cool

[@caiden3396]

Aside from media like Dora or soccer mom animated media, people acting like animation is just for kids are behaving like Spongebob when he pretended he was too mature for his grandma's kisses.

[@nairocamilo]

I'm always reminded of that Lewis' quote. And it is unfortunate just how extremist each side of this discussion gets; apologists versus cynics

[@ImperialCaleb]

yea and then you meet those adults who ONLY want to watch kids media and it's just sad

[@SimonBuchanNz]

I'll bet CS Lewis didn't want to put aside childish things; like his niece! (Apparently those accusations don't have terribly much weight, but let me have my fun)

[@wilsonram39]

Just reminds me of the Patrick Willems rebutal: "You're arguing about space wizards fighting with laser swords in a movie made for 12 year olds" to paraphrase. It's not said in good faith, it just demonizes the audience for having any criticisms because 'lul, kids story, therefore who cares?' The idea with a kids movie shouldn't be that it's only for kids, but rather that it should be a good movie that's *also* been made *accessible* to kids.

[@patricklippert8345]

"It's fiction bro, it isn't real so it doesn't have to make sense" is such a lazy cop-out. It doesn't have to be scientifically accurate or have 0 plot holes for audiences to buy into the story, but if the people working on it don't care about it, why should the audience?

[@BeazerProductions]

He's not saying you shouldn't think critically about Star Wars, but that people should calm down with all the Star Wars discourse.

[@tinygreencreature5167]

Absolutely loved Jay Exci's rebuttal of his "plot holes" vid. Guy doesn't know enough about media analysis to critique other people doing media analysis.

[@zusty9589]

Did you miss that the first review in this video was also a joke about people going on about "le adult themes" in these kids' movies

[@palchristianandersen9086]

For the last time, Blorp isn't a space wizard!!! He moves objects using cosmic plankton. There's a whole segment in the second movie that goes into excruciating detail over how it works.

[@journeytotheotherside]

If he’s a KZbinr reviewing movies, why doesn’t he have an elaborate personal lore and skits that expand upon it?

[@UltimateKyuubiFox]

You obviously weren’t here for when he murdered his kids’ stepdad.

[@albinocat]

Is he stupid?

[@moorjammin]

I never thought plankton farts and dies 2 would be a gorgeously animated character driven drama about facing your mortality, now it’s one of my favorite movies ever

[@furyrageguy5728]

We went somewhere wrong as a society if we need to specify that animated movies aren’t just for kids.

[@caiden3396]

How are there still people younger than mid fourties that act like animation is just for kids? That was addressed during so much of the previous decade by SO many different people both inside and outside the animation community.

[@legometaworld2728]

It might be tied to western audiences’ knowledge of animation being mostly limited to PG or G films, which isn’t a signifier of maturity in writing but can give off the impression of self-censorship, at least in an era where films like “The Marvels” are rated PG-13. The Boy in the Heron was the first animated film rated above PG to win an Academy Award.

[@indigoziona]

We were talking about Avatar when it came out and I had a colleague say she wouldn't watch it because "I don't like animation, I think it's childish".

[@jonathanmarth6426]

@@caiden3396Well, recently a co-worker (mid twenties if I had to estimate) was talking to me about anime. He made a very clear distinction between anime and cartoons with the explicit sub-text of him, an adult, only watching the former. And then he mainly watches Shounen and hasn't even heard of "adult" anime like Cowboy Bebop.

[@caiden3396]

​@@legometaworld2728A lot of animation HAS felt too safe and censored, dumb and hyperactive, family pictureish, arguably less mature, or just innocent the past several years now that you mention it, especially compared to how society is now. It seems way more prevalent than it was even about a decade ago.

[@reruarikushiteru]

The constant bringing up of how a movie having "adult" themes etc. make it good or vice versa "it's bad because kids would like it" always makes me think people just have some complexes and aren't very successful at hiding them

[@-toriizaka46]

Blorp 4 is a misunderstood masterpiece

[@Mogeli]

I know everyone says they should have stopped at Blorp 2, as 3 was a disaster. But, people really need to give Blorp 4 a chance, it is far too underrated

[@palchristianandersen9086]

I'm with the generation that grew up with and loved Glorp 4. I've tried going back and watching the older Glorps, but they're too slow and boring for me.

[@LozadaPR]

This really is the 2 types of movie reviews

Why do critics get so surprised by an animated movie having adult themes? Anime has been doing it for a while and Avatar the last airbender is aimed for kids but is more mature then what Hollywood is putting out.

[@frogman6948]

[@poppers7317]

Is it that bad?

[@gasterthemaster6490]

​@@poppers7317 It's... weird. On the one hand, it's animated pretty well, the fights are cool, some jokes kinda worked and overall (If it wasn't a sequel to anything) I'd give it a 6.5 or even a 7. But on the other hand... It's a terrible sequel which doesn't fit the original 3 tonally or thematically at all, has a borderline pathetic villain and altough it was nice to see Tai Lung and Shen respect Po, I don't Kai would have done the same. He would have murdered Po as soon as he saw him. So by viewing it as a sequel it sucks. As a movie? Heh, I kinda liked it. It really depends on what you want. Do you want a thought-provoking, dramatic and adult follow up? Tough luck. Do you want a goofy, kunda funny, well coreographed animal fighting movie? Then why not?

[@marquisdelafayette-xe1ht]

Man carrying thing's analysis on the hit stop motion movie blorp 1 and its analogy on adulthood is very interesting (in an adult way) Blorp's fathers death was very emotional. I must agree, but still, he was just a kid, and that didn't resonate with me because I am an adult, and thus, I didn't really feel the scene, buts it's OK because at the end he grows up and becomes just like me (fr(btw i am ryan gosling)) Thanks for the analysis MCT
