Max and Ratzo argue about who;s the better toon and why.
I had alot to say for this one…but suddenly it escapes me. Something about the argument of old school versus new school, and how much like in everything else, the older generations look at the younger generations as worse. In animation the previous decade was always better than the last in popular opinion. One big problem now is the whole flash argument which i find patently ridiculous. Most of what can be done via traditional animation can be replicated in flash with ease. The problem is the quality of the content and flashes ease of use. It's like…when the Wii came out, and everyone compplained about how much shovelware was on it. It was easy to program for and appealed to a wider audience, hence alot more garbage was produced. Same goes for animation. But then again, that all subjective…I'm sure there are some out there that actually enjoy Johnny Test, and I'm not going to fault them for it. All I'm saying is shows like MLP, Wakfu, and Clone High among others show that flash is quite capable.
On a different tangent, Prof. Duck was my favorite professor to design and utilize. What can I say, I'm a fan of the character who inspired him. He's probably one of the first teachers you'll learn more personal stuff about, after the main three of course. Just because my brain started pitching out a ton of ideas after I designed him. Also, the MLP reference in there…I feel I don't need to spell out that I'm a Brony at this point. btw, it's a Llama, not a pony.
