We haven't had a random positivity thread in a while, so how about this: Answer one or more of the following.

  • What TV series deserved another season?
  • What book would you adapt as an anime?
  • Suggest one movie that you think belongs in the required viewing of an Introductory Film Studies college course.
  • What film or film series most needs a Muppet version? Hard mode: not the Benoit Blanc murder mysteries.

I haven't been to awful in a minute, been busy with a combination of life, work, and Hades II. Here are my answers:

  • TV series that deserve more seasons: I would like 10 more seasons of Young Justice.
  • Books as anime: Something like Catch-22 or Slaughterhouse V could work as animation. Maybe not anime specifically, but hey why not. Also, I learned recently that Deltora Quest, an action/adventure fantasy series for young teens was adapted into an anime, like, a while ago.
  • I'm not enough of a film bro to have a quality comment on what should be in a film studies course. Instead I'll say my favourite movie of all time Everything Everywhere All at Once. It's a shame that the directors haven't done anything since, especially not any shitty both sides-y documentaries/credulous AI propaganda.
  • Muppet version? I would like the movie "Joker" replaced throughout reality with "Muppet Joker"

I'm picturing Muppet Joker having the gimmick that the cast varies shot to shot. If it's from Joker's perspective he's the one human in a world of increasingly cruel muppets. If it's from anyone else's perspective then he's the one single muppet, probably played by Beaker.
