And let’s not forget scale inconsistencies!
-what a plagio, is isn’t?-
I’ve heard people tell tale of a theory about there being another species and/or planet related to the gems that would be masculine in physical appearance and well, this that theory.
Oh yes, Transformers Animated is a gem among the others TF shows and Steven Universe is surely more than meets the eyes.... for a shameless plagio.
A quality cartoon series about inorganic, long-lived, humanoid aliens who learn to call Earth home as they protect humanity from others of their own kind and act as parental mentors to a half-human, half-alien child who is learning to wield their powers:
I couldn't have put it better myself @lolothesilly thanks for the in depth analysis; Clearly The New Norm isn't going to work as a Show, a Joke or a Punchline.
"the new norm" rips the living room from "all in the family" almost exactly and its deeply funny to me
like i know tnn is SUPPOSED to be hugely inspired by aitf but its driving me crazy how thats THE SAME ROOM. right down to the little wall-hanging between the closet and stairs.
for context: all in the family was a show from the 1970s about archie bunker (a conservative white man), his simple but kindhearted wife edith, his progressive daughter and her husband, and various neighbors including a black couple and a feminist couple
the WHOLE SHOW is lightly making fun of archie, how he's stuck in his ways and out of touch, and how despite genuinely caring about his family he alienates everyone with his bigoted beliefs. it's a really interesting character study honestly
apparently even (or especially) back when this was airing, there were people who thought archie was the hero and not the butt of the joke. the rick sanchez problem is nothing new. it's just astounding to me how many people refuse to engage even an ounce of critical thinking.
anyway AITF season 1 is free on youtube, watch that (or literally anything else) instead of elon musk's cringe ass garbage
