[@shovknight3008]

I would understand being worried seeing how Netflix has treated its animated projects in the past but Glitch has made it pretty clear that this will be in conjunction with the regular KZbin uploads and I don’t see Glitch ever changing that for any of their shows in the future. Also the worst case scenario is that Netflix removes the show from their platform but it stays on KZbin. (Which honestly is somewhat likely since Netflix leadership is brain dead when it comes to animation apparently)

[@JacksonLane02]

If the show gets removed it most likely won't be for at least a few months after the release of the finale which probably ain't for a year or 2 besides that Netflix could remove it before future episodes come out but I doubt they'd be that dumb to remove it then before the next episode comes out re add then remove it a month or 2 later then re add it when a new episode is nearing release and so on and so on til the finale

I already said it on a comment from the short, but I'm gonna repeat myself, because for me this isn't a "Glitch being a sellout" situation. Netflix only brought the syndication license of the show, not the license to creative control, neither the IP itself, which it's crazy because when I think about it, Glitch literally had create or being the first to use a loophole like this on the industry in terms of copyright that basically is going to benefit all indie shows (both animated and Live-Action) out there in the long term by no selling their complete soul to a big corpo. Also, it's a great way to many of these indie creators to make themselves known to the general public. For me, it's a W for this, our community.

[@yosefdemby8792]

Not really. Walt Disney did it for the Mickey Mouse series. He did it for every series following the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit debacle.

[@3X3Arg]

@yosefdemby8792 Yeah, I didn't know the whole story between animation and copyright, so I was undecided about how to call this move. Still, for me, this will be viewed as a game changer decision in the future.

I kinda get why TADC is getting so much attention over Murder Drones, MD is hard to follow, really dark and his style and humor isn't for everyone, while DC is "simple", family frienly enough and is suited for all types of publics, but i still think MD deserves love too.

[@unclefrunkus5538]

I also think part of it is Glitch not promoting the show as much as they do TADC, very easy to tell that they have a favorite child lol

[@artikulv731]

I’m gonna be honest, TADC has enough jokes of a certain variety that I’m not sure it would get counted as friendly for all 💀

[@adamelkhouly]

i would disagree with you average i get that the humor isn’t for everyone but that can go the same for almost every show that exists personally to me i don’t think murder drones is that hard to follow you can get the base plot by watching through it once and if you wanna get the full thing you can watch it twice (by full thing i mean like tiny foreshadowing for whatever the next episode is done glitch did say to look for foreshadowing to episode 8 of MD thats just my opinion tho

[@darkwoods639]

MD it's hard to follow because his writing is pretty bad. I hate to say it, but Liam Vickers isn't as good as Vivziepop and Gooseworx.

[@finixmoon127]

@@adamelkhouly I had to watch multiple recap videos and the Film Theory episode (which is also mostly a recap) to understand the base plot, and going into episode 8 I still didn't really understand a bunch of stuff (which probably why I enjoyed it so much compared to most hardcore fans who wanted closure on various character arcs and lore questions). Maybe I'm just dumb, but it did feel like the writing was slightly convoluted at times. I suspect that it's simply because of how far apart each episode release was, and unlike someone like you a lot of us were never really invested in the fandom and the theorist community, which led to us forgetting basically all the important details from the previous episode when watching the next one. I'll get around to binging the whole series again soon enough, maybe everything will make sense this time.

[@aoib890]

Well, it's good that glitch is independently funding everything, and stinky Netflix executives aren't going to be controlling everything. It's like when SpongeBob is on Netflix for awhile, they have random seasons for maybe 2/3 years and they then disappear. Or like the fact there's only one season of Steven universe on there. I have no problem with this announcement lolll The shows that Netflix cancelled were Netflix OFFICIAL shows, that Netflix owned. The "corporate" complaints are how TADC and other shows on glitch are funded. Murder drones wasn't thrown under the bus, the creator literally ended it on their own terms. So I can't really complain about what a creator does, even if I feel left in the dark. I'm glad indie animation is so supported nowadays, but I can see why people are iffy about this situation.

Or the fact that Netflix has the first four seasons of _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ but not the other seasons due to licensing agreements.

[@Average-AnimationLovn-Ace]

This is honestly great for indie animation. Not only is this gonna get more viewers from Netflix users who maybe haven't seen TADC or indie animation in general can see this and possibly think, "oh, this is an independent production?? I wonder what else is an indie production??" And so some research, and find more indie projects a watch and as well as give indie animation the attention and love it rightfully deserves.

[@Xiuying.official]

As a huge murder drones fan I can understand where people are coming from when they said that it isn’t fair that TADC is getting all these goodies such as pop up stores, however Md isn’t as big as TADC is. Although, TADC’s popularity did help boost Md’s popularity as TADC introduced viewers to other things on their platform. Besides that though you could argue that if they made an Md pop up store it might not do as well or have big enough popularity in order for it to make money. It also depends on where the store is located (not too sure which country views Md the most but) there has to be a lot of things that apply to people in order for it to make money/sales which is: they need to live around that area or fly to that area (which I seriously doubt someone is going to buy a ticket to just to go to a pop up store when you can just buy merch online,) and they also need to watch the show (because obviously no one is going to buy merch of something they haven’t seen). I feel that personally GLITCH has given equal love to each of the shows, they haven’t just focused on getting out more episodes of TADC, but they also spent time giving love to Md. They could have easily taken out murder drones budget and put it into TADC so that they could get the next epi out faster, but no, they worked on Md episode 7 after TADC’s pilot release and then released the episode, then once the Md hype died down they released the second TADC episode. Also atm I’m pretty sure it’s almost been a month since the release of episode 8, (not too sure if I’m wrong I didn’t check) but that’s basically when some of the hype has died down (although I’ve seen many more Md projects such as animatics and songs, the most popular I’ve seen is CG5 releasing an Md song) but GLITCH is slowly teasing the episode and it’ll release on October 4th (pretty sure). I’m really sad that Md isn’t getting more episode and as a hardcore Md fan I’m honestly glad that at least the community is creating their own “season 2” or more episodes lmao. There has been many more big content creators watching Md, and I’m glad that it’s getting the recognition it deserves! (I’ve seen people like CG5 and Kreekcraft react to it and they have a pretty big following) Anyways thanks for reading my yap session 💜💛

it could literally only end bad for netflix. Glitch still owns TADC fully, netflix only bought rights to put it on their platform. So even if it underperforms on there, they still gave glitch a boatload of money so glitch wins either way here.

Considering that Netflix doesn't actually own anything in the IP, the only thing you really have to watch out for is fandom tourists. And just from what I've seen so far, this doesn't seem like a franchise that is going to be as susceptible to that, like D&D was.

That makes a lot of sense. I also think the show can be confusing for the wrong audience since it's made be paused to read background material in order to catch foreshadowing and pieces of the mystery puzzle.

[@Pantoran_Cargo_Pilot]

Murder Drones fans fear they are being forgotten, as did the Sunset Paradise and Meta Runner fans before them.

[@helpfulplaylists3933]

The real reason why glitch is promoting digital circus a lot instead of murder drones is because the pilot has over 300 million views compared to murder drones which has over 54 million views so that would mean that companies would favor DC instead of MD.

[@ArchieBurnett-xr6hw]

I'm not to sure I understand why this is happening. Indie animation is a media specifically made to be all accessed for free, on a streaming service KZbin that can be accessed anywhere, whereas not everyone will have or want to have Netflix, which questions why you'd bother to have the show on both Netflix and KZbin. Then again, if this is so Glitch can get better funding and support, thus benefitting them and maybe even raising awareness for other indie animation groups, I can see the appeal in that.

[@AlexSiquinaMaldonado]

I feel like this is great news. Like the hazbin hotel season 1 was announced in early 2023 that they will be a full show in price. The hazbin hotel pilot was a success .If they removed the amazing digital circus full episodes on KZbin, then they will team up with glitch. Personally, I think it won’t happen. Say ayy, what do you think of my response?

[@MultiSuperguy101]

Vivziepop needs to take notes…she gave up her Hazbin hotel and they could cancel it anytime and nothing she could do about it.

[@Space_Snax]

All that glitters ain’t gold, Vivxie gave up the indie voice cast for (definitely expensive) broadway stars and while Hazbin was picked up by Prime you can see in how short the episode count for season 1 was that she wasn’t fully in control. Honestly a big win for Gooseworx who stuck to her guns to keep her indie cast and from the looks of things she still has full creative control!

[@overlyfixated21]

Weird, it's almost like there's a benefit to having like 50k per episode. Vivziepop doesn't need to take any notes, she didn't get this opportunity. Glitch did. Also prime has had a good track record of animation so far. So please stop insulting a person who got a great opportunity and took it.

Digital Circus is still the same. The episodes are just getting put on Netflix. Also the only reason TADC is getting THIS much gold is literally because how popular it is.

This one doll brand called “Rainbow High” is the most recent-popular example. It was SO popular, Netflix bought the show to be on their streaming service (or the creators or Rainbow High payed them idk). The episodes were and still are free on KZbin though. Same thing happened with another doll line Ever After High way before (R.I.P), I dunno if there still on netflix though… Basically what I’m getting at is this isn’t out of the ordinary for Netflix, though I’m PRAYING this doesn’t lead kids to buying Netflix because they think its off youtube or something 🙏🙏🙏

Independently funded means that just one (or more) people or a smaller company are the ones paying for everything.

For many different reasons like more kids and adults finding tadc and then not understanding it, the content farms, the corp and main stream aspect and just overall netflix being the iffiest platform with it's shows. I know they don't own it but still, i don't think this counts as indie anymore tbh... Also very dissapointed as a murder drones fan, even tho i found tadc first bc of it's popularity i knew about murder drones i was just scared about the horror aspect, so after graduation this summer and i watched and holyyyy i wish i had found it sooner, i love tadc i love helluva i love hazbin and all the others but murder drones became my top dog bc the humor and the animation and the characters and the world building is so cool!!! So after looking at it yea it feels like murder drones never got that love but as a fan even if i want more episodes and stuff i'm still glad it happened. Rn helluva and murder drones are my favs whome i actively want more and more, and keep going back to watch it.

I really hope Murder Drones goes on Netflix

It won’t happen glitch tried to get it on Netflix before and Netflix said the name was to violent and they said if they wanted it on Netflix the name would have to change

Okay the thing is that I think murder drones should have been on Netflix instead since it has already finished while the digital circus is still in production. to me it’s fine either way but it would make more sense for murder drones to come first and, like you said, it currently seems like it was thrown under the bus since tdac came first. But, again, it’s perfectly fine with me either way and of course others have other opinions.

[@scaryscarecrow5478]

I wish it would come to Netflix im a big fan of tv shows like regular show helluva boss hazbin hotel murder drones and my Amazing digital circus but its ok if it stays indie

[@coders22]

Why would anyone waste $7-23/month just to watch this show when they can just watch it on KZbin at no cost?

[@PinkVanilaLatte]

Dang in under 1 minutes that's crazy

[@TheMisbegottenOphanim]

With how unstable KZbin is becoming with ads and recent controversies, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the most popular indie shows would start appearing on other streaming services while remaining mostly indie. (Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some shows were moved to Newgrounds.)

[@Sukisdragons]

YAY I CANT WAIT (i’m actually shaking 😜)

[@bluewolffpsfn8424]

Wait ALSO!! So that means that people who don't own netflix can still watch it? Amazing

[@VDT831]

The difference between Hazbin and Digital Circus is that to watch Hazbin you have to pay while to watch Digital Circus you don't have to pay but there is still an option to pay so I guess it's a win-win scenario

[@oliver_editzz61]

The amazing digital circus is NOT becoming “too corporate”, they genuinely care about the show and won’t let Netflix’s greediness take control of it.

[@nasser2900]

To be perfectly honest, the digital circus going onto Netflix what a surprise for me but it’s a good thing that Netflix doesn’t have control over the digital Circus so I’m not that worried and also since I am a murder drones fan I am a bit sad that murder drones ended but it ended in a good way as of right now I am watching some murder drones comics in those comics have a lot of story to tell. I’m very excited for murder drones comic cult N,rage to come out but coming back to digital Circus I’m not that worried.

[@jamesvarela233]

I think this is genius, maybe a bit risky since you can have studio demands from Netflix, depends on what the partnership entails, but genius to keep the show indie, but also have Netflix pay Glitch just to send Digital Circus content, over to their streaming platform. I bow in respect for Glitch.

[@VerbotenRonin]

I checked it out on Netflix and I noticed the rating of TADC is TV-PG. I’m not surprised they rated it. I’m sure the rating will change as the series gets darker over time.

[@Chris_Thorndyke]

SMG4 on Netflix when?

[@CaitEden53]

Congrats, Glitch!!! This is really big. I’m glad they’re keeping it indie, just bigger.

[@CassieIsGae]

3:12 Okay, no, that is not true. Murder Drones ended on Liam's own violation. The show didn't end because they didn't want to work on two shows at once. Glitch is more than capable of running 2 shows at once. With a third series, The Gaslight District, on the way. (Altho yea, we haven't heard anything about that in months) The show had run its course, and there's really nothing else they could do with the show without retreading the first season. If they left, even a single loose end, it would make everything everyone had done useless. (Which is something i personally hate)

[@robbie_the_mastermind2176]

What? That’s Freakin’ sweet.

[@Just_Skyla]

i can see why glitch is trying so hard to sell tadc merch since it IS independently funded and everything and episodes are SUPER pricy to make would be nice to show some love to all of the murder drones fans, even if the fanbase is smaller though, coming from someone who's a fan of both shows maybe the pop up shops and everything could sell BOTH tadc and murder drones merch, and we could eventually see murder drones coming to netflix too if i were to think of any ideas but that entirely depends on the creator's wishes, which glitch has always been incredibly loyal to, and which i respect i think at the end of the day this is still a huge step for indie animation, but also the first step (/very very positive), and i support glitch wholeheartedly excited to see where they take things next!

[@andreadag]

wait how is there already backlash its not even been a full day yet 😭

[@Society.263]

Hopefully Emesis blue gets put on Netflix and on the big screen

[@WhehW3056]

To be fair: Emesis Blue is SFM. Valve owns the copyrighted assets of TF2 and their IP's; there's no way they can put it to Netflix.

[@Cynnqqq]

I’m half happy to know it’s coming out on Netflix because i can introduce it to my mum and other family members but i feel like it should just stay on KZbin because it’s indie and it could turn out like Hazbin

[@Space_Snax]

I don’t think we have to worry about that, especially if the episodes will release on both KZbin and Netflix! See with Hazbin Hotel it seems like Viv has it to where Amazon has exclusive rights to it, which seems to also point to Amazon having more control over things like episode count and if they can cancel it on a whim. It’s looking like Glitch has a very favorable deal with Netflix, way much more than Spindlehorse did

[@Evan-tbr4o]

[@Xeorboom]

the fact that Netflix is paying a random indie animation company to distribute some madwoman's crazed show is just ridiculous! as for the whole "it's becoming too corporate!" I don't agree, this is Gooseworx and Kevin Temmer's ultimate passion project so they should do what they want! And as a TADC and MD fan, I don't agree that MD was "left to rot", GLITCH simply wanted to promote their new show and it was all up to Liam Vickers for the episode count.

[@Mr.Dafirst]

At one point, when he was talking about Murder Drones being replaced, I couldn't help but think of Roblox Spider and Rainbow Friends. It has no connection and I'm not sure why I thought about that.
