Nicktoons: Globs of Doom

[Taco Wiz]

This is the biggest role Zim's had in one of the Nicktoons games for awhile...except for that educational one. *shudder*

You can tell Zim's in it from the fact that doom's in the name. All of the villains from the boring Nickelodeon cartoons join forces with the heros. The villains and heros split up into two teams, however. Zim joins the heros, believing that he's not evil, and Dib joins the villain side, not wanting to be part of the same team as Zim. There's even an entire Zim level and everything!

2:20 is when Zim and Dib enter the scene.

Okay, so most of you probably don't give a fuck about Jhonen's work anymore. To those that at least somewhat care, reply with something related to the topic. For those who don't, reply with spam. Then again, that's what always happens on a Zim topic.

[Davey Rootbeer]

what about that one gameboy advance game where zim was the main villain?

[Taco Wiz]

I said IN AWHILE. Globs of Doom was released less than a month ago, and the educational game was released earlier this year. I guess that a few years ago is sort-of recent...

[Fistsetsfire]

This looks entertaining as shit, except I don't want to play any other part of the game just to get to that level. If we could only play <I>that</I> level, it'd be great because I'm really impressed with the design of the entire thing. Random piggies floating around everywhere, and GIR responds randomly during battle. Somebody put a lot of time and effort into it, you can tell. It almost fills you with a nostalgic sense of pride for the show. Ahhh.

What system(s) is this for?

[Klein]

Somebody put a lot of time and effort into it, you can tell.

The gameplay looks like absolute shit but this, definitely.



That's a fairly good find, there.

[Fistsetsfire]

I'm not suggesting actually playing the game would be challenging; it's a kid's game or something. Watching it from a big screen TV with HD? That would probably be sweet.

[Taco Wiz]

I'd like an entirely Zim-themed game, not one where he's just playable, or one where he's a major part of the storyline. I want NO other Nicktoons in the gameplay. Then again, it would probably be 100% GIR-based. Hot Topic Presents: GIR: The Game. I can see that now. I don't know what would be worse about the scenario: nothing but GIR, or a game filled with re-used sound clips from episodes. Due to the voice actor's reluctance to work with Viacom after the second DVD volume's cover was rejected, I doubt that they would get him to do voices for the game.

In other news, just found out Shyamalan's writing/directing a live action Avatar trilogy. I guess this <i>could</i> be good....?

[implode]

ugh no he's gonna ruin it i've been pissed about this forever and just figured no one cared

like mike and bryan are apparently going to have a good amount of influence on what he actually <i>does</i> with the story and shit but you know that he's gonna convince them to do it all dark and dramatic and they'll be like "yeah... i guess..." because he's m. night shyamalan and he's going to end up turning it into this angsty fuckfest of faggotry

like seriously i love angsty and dramatic in some (i'd even go as far to say most) situations but avatar is not one of them

[Taxy]

I've never thought of Shyamalan as even remotely angsty. If anything I'd say his movies (the ones I've seen anyway) all seem way too optimistic about mankind, and he has this consistent obsession with Faith. The main characters in his movies are always weak, conflicted, bitter or sappy individuals who really don't stand a chance at making it through the story on their own, so he throws in some "surprising" (hardly) deus ex machina that's supposed to teach the audience to have faith in God, or humanity, or friendship, or whatever his theme happens to be. I mean I like Shyamalan but I think he's been doing the wrong genre, is all. He needs to stop pretending to be a horror/suspense guy and go into family films where he belongs.

But I think Shyamalan can do Avatar without making it too childish of a series, so long as he converts his faith obsession to a "faith in yourself" dealie: Gaining the confidence to become heroic, you know? That's one of the key themes I like about the series (until the turtle showed up; that plot point pissed me off. All these themes about working hard for what you believe in and having faith in yourself goes up in smoke when in the end he would've lost without a deus ex machina anyway. If Shyamalan keeps that in there I WILL be pissed at him forever and ever).

If anything the series might work better as a trilogy since all the stupid stuff will be edited out. The thing that bothers me most about Avatar is the unnecessary/badly written parts of the dialog. I mean the overall story and character development is good, the broader aspects of the writing are great. But when characters start describing what we can SEE happening on screen, or when Aang goes into one of his stupid monologues about how emotionally conflicted he is (like we need to be told 2 dozen times), it makes me wonder why I bother watching this. Then it gets to a well animated fight scene or a sequentially significant plot point and I think "aah, that's why." But still. The horrible dialogs throw me into doubt sometimes.

Anyway I think Shyamalan would get rid of the unnecessary writing and ridiculous side stories, and focus on visual exposition and plot development. He wouldn't be my first choice (though I'm not sure who <i>would</i> be my first choice...?) But I think he'd be in my top 10, which is good enough I guess. Hopefully he'll get a good cinematographer to back him up though, otherwise he'll still be screwed. The story just can't be done without well choreographed fighting and broad scenic shots and panning.

Because I said so. O_o

edit: ooooh I just remembered - the LOTR and Narnia folks, the studio behind those movies - they should make the Avatar trilogy.

edit 2: I sound really harsh in this but seriously I did love the Avatar series. Most of the things I dislike about it are things that are arguably necessary in a children's series - stupid episodes to fill up space and time, unnecessary dialog so younger kids can understand things better, etc. The turtle thing is the only thing in the whole series that I truly wish they hadn't done, because I think it sends the wrong message to kids, on top of being bad writing.

seriously i'm salivating at the idea of a 5 paragraph post about it. i'm gonna read the rest of the board but I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU LATER <3

[Chakan]

I liked Avatar, too, but I was never able to catch it consistently. I saw most of season 1 and I've been meaning to catch the series on DVD, though.

I'm not really thrilled by another M. Night movie, whether it's original or the Avatar. If the Avatar turns out shit, that will just be a bigger bitter pill to swallow.

ok now that that's out of the way - ACTUAL AVATAR DISCUSSION WITH SOMEONE WHO'S OPINION I RESPECTED BEFOREHAND OMG I'M SO EXCITED I WANT TO MAKE A THREAD JUST FOR THIS WEEEE

ok, i'm glad you threw in that 2nd edit because it was what i was going to say - what we always forget is that these are children's series' and this unnecessary dialogue is for the sake of the kids. but as for pointless episodes, i didn't think there were really that many - the worst offender i think was "the great divide." awful episode. what the fuck. all the other fillers at least served SOME purpose in the series (the OMG DANCE PARTY one put aang in school, learning valuable information about the firenation, and the one right after it.. the one with the people who lives on the river... the painted lady! ok i guess that really didn't have a point either but i liked it a whole lot more than the great divide as an actual story.) but the great divide was 100% useless and a pretty bad story on top of that. i mean, the dead leaves reference was cool, but getting the ganjins and the whatevers to be friends again was the biggest waste of time the crew ever partook in. i GUESS you could say it exists to show that the avatar always has work to do, and even say that back before the war this is what the avatar DID with all his time (or should have been doing... kuruk didn't, and he was punished for it, but i don't know if you're in that deep into the canon as i am. god. i'm gay.) but still. miserable.

as for the finale... christ. i could go on forever. i had gotten my girlfriend into avatar like 2 weeks beforehand (like, i made her watch the first few episodes, and from there she proceeded to watch every episode consecutively on DVD. thank god i had them all.) so we both like cancelled friday night plans to be able to sit at home for 2 hours, watching. when it was over, we both looked at each other and were like "that wasn't very... good, huh?" but i figured that appreciation comes with time for things like this, so i've really tried to wait and let it age and think about it in a new light. i think it's aged pretty well at this point, and i'm just accepting the lion turtle as a decent plot point, and you have to come in here and call it stupid again? agh. let me see if my newfound appreciatory stance sways you at all:

the lion turtle is a relic from years and years and years ago. it is presumably a part of the spirit world, although is displays uncharacteristic behavior (intentionally misleading behavior that now that the series is over will never be explained - fuck i hate that shit) but it serves as a reminder that the avatar has not always been, nor has bending, even, in its current incarnation. that's how i took it - when he teaches aang how to spiritbend, he's showing him how they dealt with battles between good and evil in the past, when there was no firebending or waterbending. all you could hope to do was to bend the spirit of another, and if you failed, you'd be corrupted. it was risky business. when aang spiritbended ozai, he was probably the first one to have ever used it in a way that actually took someone's bending away - in the past it just took away maliciousness and evil. or. something. i realize that mike and bryan probably don't mean for it to be intrepreted that way, but its the only way i've been able to come to terms with it, because, as you said, it's a bad plot point. its too easy. and to devote a whole episode to it, when there were so many loose ends to clear up?! i seriously had a checklist of things they had to cover in these final 4 episodes, and they didn't manage to get many of them - ko never came back, toph never spoke with her parents, and some others that i forgot.

i think the best episode of the 4 was the 3rd one - god, the animation was just EXQUISITE, and it was all realistic in terms of the series. well. i don't know how the whole order of the white lotus got together so easily, AAAND i wasn't thrilled that zuko was so astonished at something that was blindingly fucking obvious (omg! the order of the white lotus is actually a <i>secret society</i>?! NO WAI!!) but the rest? great. zuko's apology and iroh's response. iroh's reluctance to be the new firelord. the actual battle on the warships between sokka and the crew and the fire nation. the whole "i don't think boomerang's coming back, toph. i think this is the end." part seriously made me tear up (SHUT UP YOU'RE ALL GAY LIKE ME IN SOME WAY) and struck me as the second most powerful scene in the whole series, behind aang going into the avatar state upon learning the sandbender stole appa and katara holding his hand to calm him down. GOD THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW. but yeah, i really, really liked that one. a lot.

the last episode... it was good. it had its moments. seeing aang controlling all 4 elements, though obviously meant to be the visual climax of the series, did not fail at doing so. it was real and done well. and i even appreciate his reluctance to kill the firelord, and am at a point where i'm ok with the spiritbending as a conclusion (although on any other network i would say there is no excuse for not killing him anyway and just dealing with it and doing your duty, like yangchen said) but there were a few things i still don't care for - first and foremost, zuko's mom. mike intentionally left the scene that joaquin dos santos boarded of zuko meeting his mom OUT of the final episode, which strikes me as intentionally turning your finale into something more mystical and unexplained than it has to be, and though he says a situation may present itself where we see zuko meet his mom and man am i hoping for it, i'm not holding my breath. the lack of closure on azula bothered me - what, will she just be chained to that sewer grate forever? is she in prison? she'll break out of prison. it's AZULA. she needed to die for this to truly be a conclusion.

and finally, you see no dissent among fire nation citizens upon the crowning of zuko as firelord. that's not right. just 4 episodes before (the one with the play) the citizens were THRILLED at the idea of ozai defeating aang and becoming phoenix king. they SUPPORT this war, for the most part, and you mean to tell me that they've been persuaded by one speech zuko gave after aang defeated the firelord? ridiculous. this series could go on for at least 4 more episodes explaining all this shit, and SHOULD HAVE ARGH

tax, you've made me a very happy boy. thank you for caring. :steff: i have millions of other opinions about avatar, so if you like it as much as i do, i see a bright future of pointless discussion on the horizon.

[implode]

ok i just noticed something i need to address specifically until the turtle showed up; that plot point pissed me off. All these themes about working hard for what you believe in and having faith in yourself goes up in smoke when in the end he would've lost without a deus ex machina anyway well, no, he wouldn't have LOST. he just would have killed ozai. and been depressed about it. all the turtle did was to show him how to defeat the firelord without killing him. i don't know what a deus ex machina is but the point is that aang seriously had no way to defeat the firelord without taking his life, and the lion turtle showed him how to do it the way they did it back in the old days. aang has had many teachers along the way, what's the problem with having 1 more?

[Chakan]

i don't know what a deus ex machina is... I hate to interrupt, but a deus ex machina is a fancy way of saying "a wizard did it!" It's a plot device where everything is resolved as though a god/wizard did it and is often used to quickly resolve a plot point in a story if the author can't think of a better way to do it. It tends to come off feeling artificial or improbable, which it usually is. I can't say if that's how the Avatar's story was resolved, though.

The actual word translates to something like "god from the machine", and refers to how the Greeks would lower a god on stage to resolve the plot in a play.

[implode]

ok, well that makes sense. i still don't think that the lion turtle resolved the PLOT - all he did was show aang how to win without killing him. i can understand where people would think that, though. i actually sort of feel that way myself about it... but then, i think, how else is he going to do it without killing him? i dunno. it could have been better, yes, but i don't think it was as bad as A WIZARD DID IT! it's not artificial or improbable in the avatar universe, because weird shit like that happens to aang all the time.

[mias]

You two made me want to watch Avatar. I've never seen it.

[implode]

lol welp sorry about ruining the ending then

but it is a great show, and i'd recommend it to anyone who likes things that are good

[mias]

I actually stopped reading once I decided to watch it and saw that you were getting into spoiler territory.

[implode]

oh, well that's good. smart!

it's 61 episodes in total, plus there's one game that you have to at least read about to understand what happens to aang during the gap between seasons. it's not super important, but if you love the show it's something to look up. all of the shit is available on DVD, or, if you like, free on the internet lol. but seriously, it's an amazing show, so don't let the slowness of the first few episodes fool you. once they start getting into the storylines of the second season it becomes just... amazing. (although i'd say my all time FAVORITE episode is the finale of the first season. beep beep)

and re-watching the 3rd finale episode i think i mixed the end of the second episode in with my assessment of the 3rd, so let's revise that to say i liked the end of the 2nd episode a lot TOO

YES, LET'S

[tass]

man, i love avatar so much. for a good year and a half i was going to /co/ more than anywhere else because of avatar.

[Klein]

ugh avatar


you guys are all super gay

[Taxy]

Klein you know you love it you just won't admit it. =P

I have so much goody stuff to say but I'm about to eat food so it'll have to wait til later, but I am SO GLAD other people like Avatar here and it's not just me (and Fox. Who made me watch it. Just like she made me watch Zim. THAT FOX!)
So yeah I'll be back too, haha.

[Klein]

I've never seen a full episode.

[Jest]

My roommate recently hooked me, we're at the part where they pick up Toph and Aang starts learning Earthbending. I like it a lot more than I thought I would.

[Taxy]

Byegh I got busier than I thought, and tomorrow's swamped too O_o

But a couple tidbits:

I stopped watching after about half of the first season, frankly I didn't want to commit to what could potentially be a very long series that I didn't have time for. I mean it was ok but it didn't seem, uh, commitment-worthy at the time.

But then I found out it was ending, so I went online and watched every episode there ever was O_o And I quickly realized it was a LOT better than I had originally anticipated.

So, I'd recommend it. The character development is surprisingly wonderful. Toph and Zuko are easily my favorites of the main cast, originally I hated Zuko for his total blandness but that all changed….anyway. ANYWAY.

OK cory my first thing I have to say is I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO ZUKO’S MOM WTF.

I agree Shyamalan has not done his movies very well. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and thinking that he is merely working in he wrong genre – that doing suspense/spooky movies just isn’t his forte and he will use Avatar to break away from that (as opposed to making Avatar into something similar).

But you’re probably right, he may just make the same type of movie and take away the lighthearted moments, turning it into something too serious  It could happen that way and that would make me very sad, seeing as I really think he’d be better off if he went into family/fantasy films and scrapped the whole suspense/horror gig.

[implode]

hm. i'm the opposite, i think - i like the waterbenders, sokka and katara. LOL I WOULD BE A WATERBENDER IF I COULD PICK. but uh. yeah, a lot of people say that they lost interest or something and then picked up later, which makes me feel like a doofus because i seriously watched this show from beginning to end. it's the only show that i've ever actually done that with - i knew it was coming out because of this board beforehand, of course, and i liked it enough to watch it every week. so i think the ending being sort of bad was even <i>worse</i> for me, since i literally waited 3 years for that moment and it was a fucking lion turtle. argh. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME

zuko's mom bothers me too, but not as much as it seems to bother everyone. zuko's mom was never important to the story, really. what DOES bothers me is that they went out of their way to mention it at the very end and not explain it. it seems intentional, making a "mystery" out of something that people would otherwise not given a shit about, which is just unnecessary.

hey, have you guys seen "forbidden love"? check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX6zWBQRXvA

it's a little short mike and bryan made poking fun at all the "zutara" and "kataang" relationship fanart people made. there's other good videos from that con, too, like a couple of animations of mike and bryan. one of them has bryan asking "so, mike. why didn't you want anyone to know where zuko's mom was?"

No. Back before I came into the fandom in late December of 2002, the first wave of Invader ZiM fanfic writers had already made up cute little abbreviations to indicate couple pairings within fanfics.

ZaDR and ZaGR were the most common. The abbreviations also stuck, and haven't gone away yet... even after 6 years. It's kinda impressive.

Writing Zim/Dib would indicate you are not a hardcore ZaDR 'shipper.

... also incidently back in January 2003 - October 2003 a bunch of us fanfic writers had a thread where we discussed this all in length.

Sadly a guy named Cyberen kinda wrecked it for us all. Suppose it was out fault for posting in his thread in the first place. :/

The Gir voice was usually sped up digitally, but Rikki started doing it vocally more and more towards the end of the series, or <i>so the legends say</i>.

Dude I didn't even know until this year what "ship" "shipping" and "shipper" was all about. That is how OUT of the whole fanfic-romance world I am.

I hate romance as a genre. I love that so many people are out there writing (kudos to them!!!!) it's just not my preference is all.

I love Shaun of the Dead tho. Now THERE's a good romance.

hey, have you read World War Z? it's kind of a must-read for zombie fans.

[Taxy]

I was supposed to borrow it from a friend but they never gave it to me :( Bastards.

I'll get to it tho, it's definitely on my list.

you'll want it for a while, cuz there's a lot of parts you're going to want to go back and re-read. i'm going to read the whole thing a second time as soon as i finish Patient Zero, which is what i'm currently into.

i think that there are definite plans for some sort of WWZ production going on. they could go so many different routes with it; i just hope that whatever they choose is quality.
