Ninjago Dragons Rising Season Two News! Sets and Plot Info!

HELLO EVERYONE! I have some great info for you guys on the new Dragons Rising Sets and Seasons! I worked REALLY hard on this article, so I hope you all enjoy it. There's a lot to talk about so let's just jump in. Below the cut. SPOILERS!!!

Our Sources for all this info are these two interviews here.

youtube

Now, let's get started.

First off, the mechs. The third wave will be for Part Two of Season Two! The mechs have interchangeable parts. So you may mix and match different sets to build your own mechs. The suits in the first wave the Ninjas are wearing are called the mech suits. There are only for when they are specifically in their mechs. They wanted to make sure everyone had a mech suit. So even though Zane doesn't have a mech, he got one anyway. The mechs did best in testing. They aren't as relevant to the story as the other sets.

There is also a short series coming that will showcase Sora building the mechs from the first wave. (It's important to note, that since there is a Cole mech, perhaps we can expect to see him in the shorts.👀) Also, Cole's golem form from the show was based off an early version of this Cole Mech.

I heard people asking why Sora and Arin haven't gotten any new suits yet. This has been addressed. The reason is Sora hasn't gotten a new suit since she's only been present for one wave. This means she might eventually get new variants. On a side note, Arin had a new hood now. Maybe not a full new suit, but hey. It's a start!

Also, there is a new sword Lego piece. So if any of you guys for some reason collect Lego weapons, nows the time to add to your collection. Lol.

And the dragon in the Wyldefyre set is just called a Source Dragon. It's not actually one. This is possibly for marketing. On more thing to remember is that there will be January, March, Summer set wave. So more sets ARE coming.

Now, the villains. Cinder is confirmed to be the new Elemental Master of Smoke! The designers don't know if Cinder is actually Ash. Or what happened to Ash. We can only assume we'll find out in time.

Second, the wolf army and Lord Ras! The wolf army is called the Wolf Clan. Ras's wolf warriors are humans in Wolf Masks. Not werewolves or anthromophic wolves. It is also interesting to note that The people that worked on Chima worked on designing the Wolf Warriors. And the Wolf Mech is based on a scrapped Nexo Knights Malware Wolf model.

Now for Ras, we now know that Ras's Shadow Dojo is located in a place called The Shadow Forest. It's where he uses the BloodMoon's power. The Gong of Shattering is apparently ANOTHER tool Ras uses to power/command his wolf army.

As for this Shadow Forest, the designer stated that the highly anticipated climbing suits will be for when they are climbing in the forest.

Last but no least, we have Egalt. The Master Dragon Not much is said about him other than he will take on a mentor role, much like Master Wu.

For our last topic, we have this very exciting news about Pixal! She has been confirmed by the designer to be returning to the series! Her name is on the storyboards and everything!💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍

Well, that's all the news for now! Also, you like this newsletter format, let me know, as I am considering setting up a weekly Ninjago newsletter that will publish either every Wednesday or Sunday.

Bye! - ✒️🐉

Okay, so My Adventures With Superman was everything I hoped it would be and more! Clark is a fun, charming, earnest himbo. Lois is a driven, confident reporter with a knack for finding a story and not really thinking of the trouble it'll get her into. And Jimmie is an eager conspiracy theorist who's ready to uncover the truth with his friends.

I honestly love this version of the main trio. They're funny, energetic, and lively and they go together well. And most of the background characters are fun so far. Perry is fantastic as their perpetually tired and fed up with their bs boss. This Ma Kent is FANTASTIC. And this version of Livewire is an interesting (and hot) take on the character.

And I love how immediately into each other Lois and Clark are. Their obvious crushes on each other is refreshing and done really well, leading to a lot of cute moments just in the first two episodes.

So okay, when I watched this, my first thought, after just "holy shit this is great!" was that WOW, for a completely straight show, it just kind of feels gay. Like, it has a very queer vibe to it. Somehow, despite Lois and Clark being a het relationship it kind of feels sapphic as hell in the way it's done. And I'm sorry, but this version of Livewire was designed for lesbians:

So I looked at the credits, and yep, it made sense.

The show was developed by Jake Wyatt, who worked in the animation department for the Duck Tales reboot and Steven Universe. Josie Campbell is the co-producer, who was a writer and story editor on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. The first episode was directed by Jen Bennett, who directed 17 SPOP episodes, including Princess Prom, Promise, and Save the Cat. And the second episode was directed by Diana Huh, who was a co-director and storyboard artist on SPOP, and a storyboard artist on the Duck Tales Reboot, Infinity Train, and DC Superhero Girls.

My point is that there are a number of SPOP alum working on this show and it shows because somehow, someway, this silly little (so far) completely het show about one of the oldest superheroes and America's boy scout, feels fresh and gay as hell.

And who knows, maybe there'll actually be some queer content down the line. I mean, Kara is supposed to show up at some point. 😏 A girl can dream, can't she?*

My Adventures With Superman feel fun, fresh, and very anime-inspired and I 100% recommend checking it out. It airs on Adult Swim and HBO Max, and the first episode is free to watch on Adult Swim's Youtube page.

Also, I want you all to know that I worked really hard to make this a decently coherent post and not just a lot of squealing about how great this show is and how adorable fucking Clark and Lois are.

*For real, if, against all odds, this show was somehow the show that pulled off Supercorp, I would LOSE. MY. MIND. I know, there is a 0.0002% chance of that happening, but again, a girl can DrEaM!

In honor of getting halfway through my re-watch of She-Ra, a collection of screenshots in which I, personally, thought "jfc did they mean for Catra to be this hot"

(in the distance I can hear @lapisbitch saying "YES")

Yes I realize there's...sort of a theme here lolol

this one is especially great bc as I point out in my rewatch post, this is. Literally. Through Adora's eyes.

okay this one is mostly the way she says the line, not the screenshot per se

for all that I think in a LOT of these the hotness was unintentional on the part of the people making the show, this one? THIS ONE??? Yeah that was 150% on purpose. Look at how she's POSED, c'mon; anyway I want to kiss the person who storyboarded this ep bc good LORD

I had to stop myself from posting every shot I took of that scene lol

other sets of screenshots I keep being tempted to make: every time Catra does the fangie (aka just has one fang poking out of her mouth), every time someone gets tied up/restrained, every time someone yanks Adora around by her ponytail (okay that one is ...all Catra I'm pretty sure?); but I think all of those will wait until I've finished my entire rewatch

I know what I like

#spop #catra #april rewatches spop #did this post bc I don't have time to do an entire episode tonight :(

The anti movement became like this with voltron legendary defender, it came from “fans” who wanted the creators to make Keith x Lance canon

i remember when a 13yo was repeatedly harassing bex taylor-klaus on tumblr and when they finally snapped from frustration and cussed the kid out all the antis jumped on them and were like "how dare you be abusive towards a minor!"

They also tried to get them fired. The attempts to fire them were unrelated to them cussing out the kid on tumblr, it was over allegedly breaking an NDA but they were willing to do anything to fuck over staff in the name of klance.

the reason klantis claimed bex was breaking their NDA was over not liking an answer they gave when asked about klance, meanwhile a she-ra storyboard artist who did things actually worth being fired over was being defended because she was a self-admitted klanti (klance anti)

she followed the klanti who wanted to break lauren montgomery's wrists. she also accused lauren & joaquim dos santos of being racist & homophobic for queerbaiting klance and said she-ra was better for having real gay rep.

wouldn't be the last time antis defend someone like that

yep yep

💜💔❤️‍🩹

yesssss time to be toxic >:))

💜 a crack ship

(steven universe) i was a 2015 lapidot hell crackshipper. it was awesome. this was before they had any canon interaction besides lapis being on the prison ship with peridot and jasper. i had more trouble shipping them post-tiny peridot but still loved the development they had together thanks to storyboarder jesse zuke. i also completely dodged the discourse about lapidot/amedot somehow?? probably bc i stopped caring pretty soon after the barn mates era

💔 a least favorite ship

literally anything involving characters i hardcore ship not being together, or opening up their relationship. in four swords, it’s anything that breaks up or adds to vidow; for she ra, it was catradora. i simply cannot partake in the multi/polyshipping when i’m genuinely invested in a pairing <3

❤️‍🩹 a popular ship that you just don’t get

uhhhhhhh ngl most zelinks… i find that the only way i can wrangle those blonde bitches into being interesting is SIGNIFICANTLY changing them from how they are in canon. and then they just kinda become something else entirely, and i love canon botw/totk/tp/oot link way too much to change his personality and my interpretation for shipping purposes.

Kiff Review

Kiff is a musical comedy animated series by Lucy Heavens and Nic Smal. They are known for their work in the animation industry, either script writing, storyboarding, or voice acting. This post will have spoilers.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs and Wayback Machine. This was the twenty-seventh article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on March 27, 2023.

The plot of Kiff focuses on a young flying squirrel named Kiff Chatterley (voiced by Kimiko Glenn), who is friends with a mellow bunny named Barry Buns (H. Michael Croner) in a magical land, within the mountains, known as Table Town. Both go on adventures in and around the town.

Like other Disney series airing this year, Kiff is aimed at kids and families. This is clear from the format, similar to many episodes of Amphibia, Milo Murphy's Law, and Phineas and Ferb. Each 22-minute episode is divided into two 11-minute segments. In typical Disney fashion, there is a musical number in almost every episode.

Apart from the animating powerhouse of Disney Television Animation, a well-known animation studio, Titmouse, is producing the series. The same studio is known for series such as Cleopatra in Space, Star Trek: Lower Decks, The Midnight Gospel, Q-Force, Inside Job, Pantheon, My Dad the Bounty Hunter, The Legend of Vox Machina, Fairfax, and Chicago Party Aunt.

Many of the voice actors in Kiff are well-experienced. Glenn previously voiced Paperstar in Carmen Sandiego, Katherine-Alice in Welcome to the Wayne, Tomiko in Elena of Avalor, and Nomi in Dogs in Space, to name a few roles. Deedee Magno Hall, who voices Deer Teacher in the series, is best known for voicing Pearl in Steven Universe. Furthermore, James Monroe Iglehart and Lauren Ash, who voice Kiff's parents, prominently voiced characters in series such as Tangled, Helluva Boss, Elena of Avalor, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Keen listeners might recognize Rachel House, voice of Barry's mother, or Nichole Sakura, voice of Barry's sister. Both had prominent voice roles in Moana and OK K.O.!: Let's Be Heroes. Personally, I was familiar with voice actors Katie Crown and Rhys Darby because they voiced characters in Cleopatra in Space. The former also voiced Ivy in Amphibia. Furthermore, Darby voiced a variety of characters in Milo Murphy's Law, We Bare Bears, Welcome to the Wayne, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and Infinity Train. It was great to hear Vella Vowell, who voices Candle Fox, again. I remembered her impressive voice acting as Princess Mermista in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and as the No Tattoo Barista (which later turned into a CBD Monster) in the lesser-known Magical Girl Friendship Squad.

Kiff snagged the well-regarded Eric Bauza and Tom Kenny. From my years of watching animated series, I was familiar with Bauza as Scoops in Ollie & Scoops, as well as Kenny for two roles: Ice King in Adventure Time and Yancy Fry in Futurama. In this series, Bauza voices Reggie and a scrupulous TV producer named Roy Fox, while Kenny voices multiple characters in the series. A stand-up comedian named Josh Johnson also voices Barry's brother, Harry.

youtube

The show's animation is expressive and colorful. However, it pales in comparison to Amphibia, The Owl House, or Adventure Time. In some ways, Phineas and Ferb is put together better, as is Milo Murphy's Law. All in all, the show is a bit funny, but not laugh-out-loud funny. Drama is more a strong suit for the series than comedy.

The first twelve episodes of the series are double-episodes. They introduce viewers to the characters, allowing you to get a feeling for their lives. More than anything, they make it clear that Kiff is not serialized like Steven Universe, Tangled, or Milo Murphy's Law (especially the second season). Instead, each episode seems in its own world, without being connected to another. If some rumors are correct about upcoming Hailey's On It! and Iwaju, it appears that Disney series are moving in this direction. This is evidenced by the fact that the recently aired Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur uses serialized storytelling.

However, the recently aired Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur uses serialized storytelling as does the upcoming Hailey's On It! and Iwaju, if reports are correct.

Kiff has some elements reminding me of the Futurama episode openings, like fake adverts at the beginning of each episode. At the same time, the series is different than what has come before since the show creators, Heavens and Smal, who voice characters in the series, are from Cape Town, South Africa. As a result, their life-stories are undoubtedly integrated into the series itself. Furthermore, the show's directors include animators for Black Dynamite, 6Teen, and Amphibia, with this career experience enhancing the show even more.

The series emphasizes the importance of acceptance, friendship, self-worth, and notoriety. The latter is shown in the extreme by Roy Fox, who makes trashy reality shows in order to profit from people's misery. In a manner similar to the focus on education in many anime series, Kiff seems to imply that education is important to achieving your dreams and that school shouldn't be skipped, no matter what. This stands diametrically opposed to what is shown in Birdie Wing: Eve, one of the show's protagonists, is a terrible student, but remains at the premiere golf academy because she is a sports star.

There are many other themes focused in Kiff. For instance, the episode "Career Day", when Kiff and Barry get a part-time job at city hall, implies that mass records destruction is fine as long as you cut through the "red tape". This contrasts with commentary about overly technical bureaucracy in Hilda and Futurama, to name two series. Such a negative theme in "Career Day" is offset by episodes which accentuate family togetherness and honesty.

As a person who has reviewed media with libraries and librarians in pop culture since July 2020, and with a MLIS degree, it should be no surprise one of my favorite episodes of Kiff was "Club Book". In he episode, Kiff learns the value of quietness in the library after turning the library into a club scene. I thought it was interesting that the librarian, voiced by Aparna Nancherla, is made more relatable than most. Her character, Miss Moufflé, somewhat bucking stereotypes, while reinforcing them at the same time, as she shushes people but also likes souffles.

Similar to other series, the value of libraries as a place of knowledge and learning is affirmed in Kiff. In some ways, the episode reminded me of the "Quiet Riot" episode of The Replacements, in which the show's protagonist, Todd, causes the shushing librarian in charge of the school library replaced by a rockstar. However, he later regrets his decision, resulting in the original librarian returning to her job.

youtube

Currently, Kiff is almost half-way through its series order of 30 episodes. It is hard to know where the series will go from here. Even so. I am more optimistic about this series than Hamster & Gretel, which has fallen flat, despite the fact that Dan Povenmire is the show's creator. Instead, the series has episodes somewhat mimicking absurdity and, even hilarity (to an extent), which are present in Phineas and Ferb. The latter, in fact, was recently renewed for more two seasons.

Even so, Kiff will probably never measure-up to the strength of four-season animated magical comedy powerhouse of Phineas and Ferb, a series even mentioned in an episode of Better Things, a comedy-drama by Pamela Adlon, who voiced some characters in the series. Despite this, Kiff will chart its own path, perhaps different than what has come before. After all, both creators are said to be a "brilliant creative team".

Although Disney has recently removed release dates from the upcoming Tiana and Moana series, clearly Kiff is part of a trend by the company to feature more diverse series. This year is bound to bring series such as Iwáju and Hailey's On It!, while there are others in production such as Cookies & Milk and Primos.

It is further possible that Disney is producing Molly Ostertag's Neon Galaxy, a series reportedly about a trans princess. In any case, diverse series are on the horizon for Disney, especially more than HBO Max, a network which has been struggling to find its corporate identity since David Zaslav became CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate. It is said that the streaming service has Iyanu: Child of Wonder and Lumberjanes in production.

The first 12 episodes of Kiff are currently airing on Disney+ and all twelve episodes have aired on the Disney Channel. Four new episodes will air on the Disney Channel on April 1st and later be added on Disney+.

reached episode 12 of she-ra

it really is a pity that ive read baru cormorant and the locked tomb and ward and whatever else lays in the nebulous "lesbian space atrocities" cluster because watching she-ra it feels like the bargain bin, for sale at a discount, cheap knock off version of that

there is a distinct lack of dynamism, or heightened emotion or drama, not necesarily on the story as told but in the way its told. the cinematography, the angles, the editing, the music, the use of colors, of angles, of character acting, its all very generic.

is like someone is playing the correct notes but without any feeling, any sugar, any flourishes or emotions, its all there but its weirdly muted or lifeless. im seeing it and im like i know i should be moved by this but im not. is not touching a nerve, is not really hitting where it should. is just going through the motions

the way its animated specially feels really stilted, like this was storyboarded by people who have mainly experience doing anime inspired quirky comics and such, but not a lot of experience with actual animation. the artists are good at drawing bodies but they are not very good at conveying weight or movement.

also the dialog at times feels excesively modern, too much, to the point where it outright takes me out of the fantasy of the setting.

i dont know is sad because i can tell there was somewhere here a genuine want to tell a cool story but either because of interference or lack of funds or experience it all came out a bit lifeless

#she-ra #yeah i figured i wasnt going to be super into it

People on the internet often say that Dipper Pines was INTENDED by Alex Hirsch himself to be trans! But "Disney said no“. And this statement just makes me so angry. Because Dipper is based on Alex himself. And as far as I know Alex isn’t trans. And he never mentioned anything about this anywhere. I read and heard almost every Interview with him, I’m sure if it was intended he would have mentioned more times like the censored love god scene. And that’s the thing; when something LGBT+ is censored in his show, he TALKS about it very frequently! Especially on twitter! And yet, there was never a statement about this topic.

That doesn’t mean I’m against the trans Dipper headcanon! In fact that’s one of my favourites! It just makes me angry when people say things about other people they didn’t say. If some people would keep INSISTING for example that Alex said that "it was intended that Mabel dies“ it would just make me as angry.

Also I myself think that we should focus on characters that were intended as a trans character in mind when writing them. Perfuma from Netflix She Ra for example. Or possibly Marco from SVTFOE (I don’t know much about it, I just know that the storyboard with the trans flag is kind of confirmation, I could be wrong tho.)

#gravity falls #dipper pines #alex hirsch #wow a lot of controversial posts i’m making here lately lol #space post

Feels like she should be more passionate about fighting to contrast w/ her teenage rebellion dialogue • The position of the sword more special? • Adora’s reaction to Princess Glimmer - what was it? Did she even react? Maybe she could actually go into attack mode, but then when she’s about to punch Glimmer, she can’t do it • Horde logo seems like it should be burned on the ground - huge.

Start one hour earlier than everyone else 2) It’s only awkward if you make it awkward (w/ older board artists) 3) You have to be the best board artist or if the team stumbles no one will listen to you. If there’s a foreseeable future w/ a problem make sure to talk to Adam & Sam. The more you delay it, the more it’s gonna be a problem - How come you haven’t said anything this whole time? You have to communicate everything with Adam & Sam. “In case I can’t work w/ this person, please come up w/ a plan [illegible] make the future work out” 4) More important to show authority w/o looking like you’re bossy or someone easy to step on. It’ll be harder on meb/c I’m a woman 5) W/ notes - address every single executive note (w/ solutions), get Revision notes then address, update the episode. If you hear a note you don’t like, say “Hmm. I’m not sure if that will work, but let me give it a try.”
