That was a great moment, and honestly better than the cliff in BOTW. ( to be fair I didn’t play BOTW at release and wasn’t a big Zelda fan when I did play it the first time.)

It's ok, earlier I had to wait in between doing something, so I just had time to visit and play a quick game of Strike Commander. Now I'm going to try and respond.
Yeah that definitely sums the thought process up. It’s a fandom for a reason you can’t spend time arguing with people who like something like trolls and then complain that no one likes trolls or you wouldn’t have gotten into an argument about it. And the best advice I can give is remember who the company is listening to there was a trolls 2 now a trolls 3 and proving the writers don’t have a planned end in place there will certainly be a trolls 4 granted it’s never bad to end a franchise on a high note so maybe trolls 3 is the last. Dreamworks is listing to the trolls fans not the trolls trolls who troll the trolls fans (I could not help it)
Indeed. It's nice that DreamWorks does listen, honestly, Trolls: Holiday In Harmony is the best fan service thing I've seen. Any little thing a fan would pick up on was in it. Also, they do engage a lot with Trolls fans on social media. Just look at their "#TrollsArtTuesday" posts, they actually showcase fan art, and more recently, comment on them. The Trolls fandom is pretty dedicated. That's also another reason why I'm looking forward to this movie, what if Trolls Band Together is the final movie? I wouldn't want to miss out on seeing it in theaters. I did luck out with seeing Trolls World Tour last summer at a local theater, but the lockdown and having the same at home experience I had with Trolls 1 (first saw it on DVD), made me watch Trolls Band Together in theaters even more. I feel really glad I got lucky with that special summer showing of Trolls World Tour. Honestly, it brought closure from the past few years for me, really I actually cried when Poppy sang "Trolls Just Wanna Have Fun". It's not a tear-jerking moment, but still was really special finally seeing it on the big screen. Actually wore my favorite Poppy shirt and had my favorite Poppy plushie with me for that movie trip.
I haven’t seen the movie but I did watch some episodes of the show with my my sister and we enjoyed it. The stylization of animation is getting better and we have spider verse to thank for pushing the boundaries of how visuals in animation work. Puss 2 is equally important because it showed other studios have to now live up to spider verses standards and the precedent seems to be continuing with the new TMNT movie. I am happy that CGI animation is evolving into something new and more beautiful
Indeed, the other day had me thinking. Even though you don't like Boss Baby, DreamWorks made me remember, Tim's imagination sequence was also stylized. It's just cool DreamWorks always experimented with animation styles. I agree, Puss In Boots was amazing with its stylized scenes, but still had the beautiful CGI that DW movies are known for.
I just saw GOTG 3 yesterday and to not give any spoilers it was indeed epic and go see it however the movie has incredibly dark undertones so be warned however the movie is definitely worth a watch or 3
Cool, I still need to see it. Once I know which day I'm going, I'm going to be watching the first two movies and the holiday special.
Yeah I get it. It was for the audience the creators knew what they were doing. I have found that at the end of the day the writing dosen’t have to be perfect, the visual effects don’t have to be amazing and the acting can be mediocre but if the project has heart the problems feel like nothing. In fact most of my favorite tv shows, movies and games have some flaws that are just overlooked able for instance my one of my favorite games to say nice things about nier has the worst combat in any CRPG I have ever played but the story is so beautiful I can complete ignore the garbage combat and still count nier as one of my favorite video games of all times a flawed masterpiece if you will
Indeed, that's one of my favorite things about Trolls. In addition to the cute characters, music, and the arts and crafts inspired world, the series has its heart and there's heart put into it. I don't think any show or movie will ever be perfect, but there will always be something someone likes about it.
I cant stand people who act like animation is only for kids and look down on you for enjoying it. Bonus points if they are fans of stuff like reality tv. While I could go on a deep dive about how adult animation works there is a belief mostly by the mediocre adult animated cartoons that audiences find poop and swears funny so they jam their mediocre shows full of poop jokes. While the occasional bathroom joke can be funny they go way too overboard. By contrast kids shows obviously cant get away with characters pooping on the floor or swearing at each other. The writers have more constraints meaning they have to get more creative. That is of course not to say that adult animation is bad some of the best animated shows are for adults ones that naturally come to mind are archer, simpsons, South Park, Bojack and Rick & morty. However these shows understand there is more to humor than curse words and pooping. Plus they all have an undercurrent of somewhat emotional stories (yes even south park) so even if the adult humor dosen’t work the shows still manage to entertain with the drama. And the drama is usually heightened and more emotional. They use the adult rating to make something mature rather than a show with immature jokes using mature imagery But to return to kids shows some of my favorite tv shows of all time are kids cartoons other than the aforementioned “gravity falls trilogy” such as clone war, rebels, phineas and ferb, milo murphy, regular show and mystery incorporated. I love the world stories and characters from all the shows and if people refuse to watch them because their animated or for kids it’s Their loss
Also as for owl house finish the masterpiece it’s worth it
Indeed, that's how I feel about adult animation. Some of it just feels like its immature and makes kids shows seem more mature (older Adult Swim cartoons come to mind). It is sad some people do look down on others for liking cartoons and animation because they see it as it being for kids. Cool, now I'm reminded I need to watch Milo Murphy's Law, I only saw the one episode Disney posted to YouTube, but I now have Disney+. Phineas and Ferb was great too. There's a lot of good animation out there. I just wish some animation fans (those on YouTube and Twitter, which I don't use) have a bit of an open mind instead of obsessing over "Velma" for the 100th time. I get it, the show's bad. Why not talk about good cartoons instead? It all feels like it's done for clicks.
Hoping to watch more. I'm also hoping to watch Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. I want to watch it, my Trolls World Tour DVD always plays the trailer reminding me, Netflix reminds me, and I forget to watch it.
@ComfyAko Alrighty, I think I might have played a demo of Jedi Academy on my brother's Xbox a long time ago. I haven't played any of the games until more recently. I did play a demo of Dark Forces as a kid, came with a Mac copy of Star Wars Rebel Assault 2. I didn't have the game until 2015 during a May The 4th sale GOG had then, I did play it then, but never beat it until a playthrough I started this past February.
I think the old save file might be on an old hard drive I took out of my old laptop when I upgraded it. At least I backed up the save file this time around, especially since I have a completed Dark Forces save now.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
Between the underground, Hyrule, caves, and sky islands it is kinda overwhelming. In a good way that is.
Ya, it is very overwhelming, but the traveling is so much fun it rarely becomes a chore (imo).
@Professor_Plumber It took me 7 tries to get to the Fuze shrine, and each time was completely different. It was honestly amazing how fun it was just trying to get from A to B and failing many times.
I'm on my 8th Shrine not counting the tutorial ones, I found Impa, I made a huge mistake, and made a spoon sword.
@Owl1
Yeah, not gonna lie the underground might be my favorite. Ran into a good amount of mini bosses down there.
@Professor_Plumber
It is good. If everything keeps going the way it is, TOTK is gonna be near the top of my Zelda games list. Which is essentially my top games of all time list.

@Sunsy nah I know, it’s just a joke. I know there will be spoilers, it doesn’t really bother me unless a major moment in the game is ruined for me before I play it, you guys can talk about the game I’m just pulling your leg
@Owl1 That’s not a spoiler, link dies at least 186 times minimum whenever I play a Zelda game, usually via breaking link’s legs when I forget to use the paraglider
