Gods'School [Pilot]

Didn't Canada release a cartoon that was literally identical to this in premise
And even before that we had Hercules the Animated Series which was a much better Adventure/Action Cartoon
heh.. Gaylord.
Everyone looks the damned same for each gender except the fat guy.
So Zeus fucks all the girls at some point? Gotta keep it historically accurate after all.
Kinda disappointed they made Dionysus the fat kid and not Hephaestus.
Hephaestus isn't necessarily fat if I recall.
He's ugly and crippled.
So he'd be the kid stuck in the wheelchair.
the fact that all the gods are around and teenagers raises a number of questions that make this feel more sanitized than Disney's Hercules.
nah, probably not that since all the olympians are present.
But given the Titans are the adults, it's pretty clear there's gonna be a school shooting led by zeus.
Wouldn't know; never watched it.
>sfiga
This looks a lot like The Batman.
Is this supposed to be a prequel to Disney's Hercules TM?
It looks like one of those spinoff TV shows that appeals to a newer generation of kids that never watched the original movie.
like Lion Guard?
never heard of it
yeah exactly
Where's Zeus?
The pacing seems a bit off to me.
Because it's a kickstarter webseries, I'd be surprised if there wasn't homosexual relations
It's a pilot. The awkward pauses would be filled with a punctuating audio track. You know, like, someone tells a joke and it goes waah waah waaaaah.
incest maybe
It would suck if the whole thing was just a shallow relationship drama, and there's no mystery or lore too it.
The missing guardian is a good start though.
This is so bad. There's no like visual flow to any of the scenes only reactions to what's apparently happening
It's shit, as expected.
Looks like a monster high copycat
All pilots are like that. Think of it as a beta version. The final version would likely have completely different voice actors too.
What's up with these colors? There's like a pink haze over everything and everything looks blended.
>Another MH
This
BTW the animation look like trash
There's a word for that, but I don't want to invalidate your opinion.
Must everything be paper-doll-animation Flash?
I see they're going for early Medusa who was the (mortal) god-child and not retcon "was a rape victim" Medusa.
>that sphinx
I want her
Why do animations always have Hephaestus and Aphrodite as some loving couple when in lore Aphrodite was constantly unfaithful to him?
A slow head turn in three frames. Good job, Disney. Even the Simpsons intro has a better head turn than that.
They're going for the anime "this looks good in still frames" audience
You should know better than to make threads at this time of day.
It's not Disney, it's kickstarter canadian. Did you forget what Hades looks and acts like in Hercules?
Don't encourage them. They're only pretending to be retarded.
Even anime have standards user, this is garbage tier flash animation.
>Good job, Disney.
What? Where Hercules and Megara?!
>Hasbro do dolls
Eww
Makes sense now.
>Even anime have standards user, this is garbage tier flash animation.
Definitely looks better than standard anime, though.
>it's kickstarter canadian
Oh then I can forgive the animation being shit.
Congratulations on actually delivering a finished, polished product funded by Kickstarter.
Still shit though. The way everybody is always standing at 3/4 view to the camera makes my neck hurt.
Tried watching it, it sucks. Bland pseudo-outcast protag and dull setting. The Sphinx and their treatment of Hades are the only good parts.
Tell the Horrible Histories guys to make a Miserable Mythologies show, then more people can learn about the insanity of Hindu and Egyptian myths.
Basically I want OSP stretched out to 30 minute episodes.
>Bland pseudo-outcast protag
I'M A LITERAL GREEK GOD BEAUTY WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE ACCEPT ME AS I AM
Now I actually do wish this was Disney doing another Hercules spinoff. James Wood acting like a teen high school version of himself.
It's not even funded yet.
youtube.com
they all look the same
>Definitely looks better than standard anime, though.
BS
It doesn't deserve to be funded
That could be neat and it would be even better if Hades is the protagonist.
>we'll never get a show properly portraying Dionysus as the cool handsome bro he was
>we'll never get him being the only god who was actually nice to hephaestus
>he's forever cursed to be remembered as a fat guy
also seriously why does no one ever include hephaestus? You'd think they'd add him in for diversity points or something at the bare minimum- but he was actually fucking radical and made literal robots n shit.
>Medusa isn't a fugly old hag
Yeeeessssss
If it really is just one guy that animated all of this then there's no way I can trash it.
Must be the family resemblance.
Looks like they're going with the theater angle instead of wine. Guess that's to be expected.
Oh. Then congratulations for making a 12-minute animated pilot with funding from the French Ministry of Culture.
22,000 USD is just about what 15 minutes of cheap animation cost. Nice work delivering a project on time and on budget.
Now it's time to screw over the Kickstarter crowd. If 22,000 USD buy 12 minutes of animation, there is no chance in fuck that 34,000 USD buy 25 episodes of 12 minutes of animation.
Some things must be said right away:
>retarded
>Sfiga is doing the IWTCIRD pose
Hephaestus in the episode. How about watching it first so you have an informed opinion?
They're staying true to the mythos. Him and Aries are competing for Aphrodite.
Probably not buying the animation but the voice actors because animators get paid peanuts. Everyone knows that.
They've been working on it since 2016. It's probably fully animated at this point. Just needs sound editing.
nigga if the pilot cost 22,000 € you can't stretch 30,000 € over six episodes.
>It's probably fully animated at this point
Are you retarded? The pilot is right there and it's computer paper-cutout animation.
Shit, sorry I should have paid more attention and thats my bad, mostly skipped the video around after the first half because the writing wasnt so great
Cool of them to keep him pining for aphrodite I guess, still, I wish we could get him and a cool Dionysus being bros (or as close as you got in those stories) in the same feature, I always liked that part of the mythos
I feel bad for the creator. They have some serious art chops and they're wasting their time on a teen soap opera with minimal funding.
Then why isn't he ugly?
Let him get it out of his system.
Yeah this. I wonder if the director is French. Usually it's the French and Japanese which have this incompetence of staging animation like it's still a comic book.
I am not finding the storyboarding and audio directing good at all. And 22,000 € for this animation... I think Vivziepop managed animation budget better by hiring people who give a shit about animating.
For this "animation" here I could have hired Phillipines and Vietnamese for 1$ cents an hour. But why hire trash when you can get good animators for free and for under the minimum wage because they're your friends? Like Vivziepop did.
He's got a horse face, a gimp, and no muscle tone.
22,000 € for 15 minutes of limited animation and voice acting is a great price, actually. The result is going to be characters standing straight-up-and-down facing the camera at 3/4 view because there's no money to draw characters turning or doing special poses. They should have embraced the budget and did talking heads with interspersed full animation, like The Maxx.
he still has aesthetically pleasing traits, though. don’t pretend this show is being faithful to greek mythology.
>gorgon
>among the gods
I'm willing to bet they won't show Hera viciously punishing any woman Zeus even looks, or show Hephaestus being the giant ass cuckold he literally is.
Shitty TV animation costs about $10,000 PER MINUTE, so doing $1,500 per minute is close to a miracle.
Hats off to this person.
The pilot's still crap, but it's well-produced crap.
And the fact that everyone should be shit talking Hephaestus for being a gimp legged freak and kicking him out of groups and the school as a whole probably wouldn't fly in PC culture.
At least until the jock Zeus needed a lightning bolt.
So are we to assume that none of these characters are siblings or offspring of each other somehow
His disability IS his “ugliness.”
Im not kidding by the way I’m Ancient Greece being disabled was considered ugly.
Hey what if we took that one really successful movie we had and put all the characters in high school? Please give me a raise for my brilliant and original idea.
He was ugly before he was disabled.
Oh yeah that’s why Hera chucked him off Olympus. Right.
Fucking some soccer moms.
>Poseidon doing the IWTCIRD pose
>satyrs but no Pan
REEEEEEEEE
No doubt doing 15 minutes of animation for just 22,000 Euros is godly IF WE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AMERICA'S LIVING EXPENSES. I personally do not believe in paying your employees minimum wage to do shit like janitor jobs.
I believe if you're an animator with friends then you can ask for favors and have them do it for free.
I honestly think animation should not cost this much and I do not believe in the "pay more if you want talented animators" when there is no talent to be found. Like asking a naturally shit animator who can't into weight to suddenly animate like it's the 1940s or 1990s theatrical releases. They're genuinely incapable no matter how much you pay.
I'd love to know how much Chinese animators are paid and how they work. They did a good job with the animation and graphics of some shows and movies, far far superior over Japan who usually stresses over artwork/graphics > animation/writing.
I'm kinda liking the soft lightning here, it gives it a "3D CGI" feel.
>Asking favors in return for nothing
There's a word for that.
Poseidon is just asking for that Bull dick.
also, I would that sphinx.
Minos is the gym coach, not the bully.
Is it good they avoided the obvious joke?
I remember watching this. Was actually a fun watch. I remember wanting to blow out the tomboy.
The weird sound mixing and the long pauses between cuts gives it a uncomfortable feel.
When will Zeus start fucking everything with a hole? when will Ares cuck Hephaestus?
