I find it so refreshing that we are in this rare stage in western animation where disney is actually not monopolizing all the attention. If anything, 2022 has been one of their worse years yet in the animation department. Everything they have done has been completely eclipsed by other studios for once. Their Pinocchio "movie" was just obliterated by Guillermo del Toro's version. Strange World was completely forgotten because of poor marketing choices, allowing Dreamworks to come back with the Bad Guys and Puss in Boots, the first being very good and the second absolutely excellent (I'm being serious, this movie is SO MUCH MORE than a simple Shrek spin-off).
TMNT even got its time to shine with probably the best 2D animated film this year (in a technical aspect at least), rekindling an interest for the entire franchise (with another movie in production!!)
The Sea Beast was amazing. Wendell & Wild was a masterclass. 2022 has just been excellent throughout, and it's Disney that happens to be the weakest at the moment. Even the Minions 2 got more attention than most things that came out on Disney + Animation this year (not saying that the movie was great or anything, but it's saying a lot)
And when we look at the next Pixar movie coming out next year, the hype pales in comparison to the Mario movie, and let's not even TALK about Across the Spiderverse......everybody knows it's going to snatch everyone's wig, and all the awards under the sun to match it.
So yeah, western animation gets to breathe a little, and it feels amazing.
Ok but why has no one brought up that we officially have three Tom’s in Marvel now??? Like there has to be a war against the Chris’s and Tom’s now since they have 3v3. Also the Tom’s all happen to be Tom H’s. In this essay I will-
Being the uncle of spiderman is the equivalent of an anime mom wearing a side braid
that little old lady in the captain marvel trailer: [smiles]
me: ok
carol danvers: [punches out the old lady]
me, trusting carol w my life: idk what that old lady did but she’s evil and had it coming
DC is being all gritty and “realistic” and Marvel just had a movie where the galaxy is saved by a dance-off and the power of friendship
Why do they change Chris’ face all the time?
Edit:
For all the people saying “this is aging” here’s a better look of Chris in RE7 compared to RE6.
And now here’s RE7 to RE8
And then here’s how he looked in Resident Evil: Vendetta, which came out the same year as RE7
