Good Stuff: Best of 2022

This current year I say was a better current year than the one before, I mean the Queen died and that was funnier than Elon Musk's whole existence beyond the fact he sucks at Twitter. Never mind the chaotic reality we have, I'm celebrating the 10 best animations to come out this year. The only rule being they had to debut this year so while these two were banger entries, Amphibia and Owl House have to be exempt because I want to be fair. Otherwise, ANYTHING GOES so let's go...

Number 10: Batwheels

This reached the list for the sheer fact that it feels like a joke but has a better punchline than it has any right to. It looks colorful with great animation, and even if it's a preschool series it's thankfully one that's just about the adventures of both the titular bat vehicles and the actual Batman characters. This isn't like Cars where there aren't any humans around and they're cleverly able to make everyone coexist in a way that never feels out of place. It works as a good morning cartoon and a kiddo's introduction to the Batman universe besides the comics or the 90s animated series.

Number 9: We Baby Bears

I feel like we all need that one shows that's just for cute vibes to curb the stress and mental instability that intrudes on you when you get home from work or school. Being the spin-off prequel to We Bare Bears, while it can be pretty plain in terms of premises it's cute and whimsical on its own merits. It reminds me of Klonoa where we're hopping from world to world, sometimes there are familiar faces but otherwise, it's just about having fun with the different environments with characters I bet most gen ziggas will be familiar with. I say it was a good series to start off the year and while Cartoon Network's future feels too uncertain, I don't think a show like this is such a front on their MO. Plus, bears are awesome.

Number 8: Sonic Prime

The fact that Sonic the Hedgehog basically gave us its take on Robot Pirate Island was enough for me to like this, but Sonic Prime works well as a new series. Low on the list because for eight episodes, it wasn't as fulfilling especially when it felt like the SatAM show but not as tight since it's a multiverse story. Not that it isn't fun, this has more jovial energy to this that feels like a mesh between SatAM and The Adventures of Sonic. The animation I say is peak for a Sonic cartoon, imperfect but it looks like they're let loose with movement and expression. Plus again, we got the battle of Robot Pirate Island ending with a funny abrupt bodying from Shadow. Overall, hopeful part 2 ups the momentum because this and the Mario Movie really look like we might be eating well next year.

Number 7: The Cuphead Show!

Cuphead changed the way we game. With the DLC released this year as well, we seriously got a franchise that earned its keep. It felt natural that we'd get a cartoon, running alongside the recent Looney Tunes and Mickey Mouse short series as a great resurgence of the rubber-hose animation style. I'll say though that the episodes are great for this show, gets really going when Ms. Chalice joins for real, but it's scattershot in terms of actual banger episodes especially when the Devil makes for the best episodes with or without the porcelain trio. They at least end the 3rd season on a high note so whether we get more or not, this was overall satisfying and worth the wait.

Number 6: ONI, Thunder God's Tale

Really sucks this was talked about by nobody beyond the Goomba Got Back dude, whose video on it was cool. This was an incredibly made miniseries created by the same studios behind DOMO, Rilakkuma and Kaoru, and the cutscenes of most modern Sonic games. I love the plush and clay look of the characters and the environments are insanely beautiful. Storywise it's one where it starts strong and gets stronger with every part like episode two's ending was a gut punch and the blows kept coming after that. I loved this world of yokai and kami and it was an emotionally warm tale of family and self-actualization. Seriously recommend watching this at least once, subbed or dubbed since both are pretty good. So yeah, everybody that proclaims "animation is cinema", where the fuck were you?

Number 5: Scrat Tales

Would've been wrong to not put this on the list since it was the last thing Blue Sky made before Bob Chapek took the studio out back. Even if Blue Sky never closed, these shorts were great, taking me back to when Scrat was at his best in the earlier Ice Age films. The animation is especially great and it just makes me wish Blue Sky got to do more because this really showed they were good with slapstick comedy and improved after two decades. Needless to say, this miniseries and their final short was them going out on a high note, giving the best middle finger to Disney after they tried to revive the Ice Age franchise with the Buck Wild movie. If there was anything to credit about this year, it was taking the bad with the good.

Number 4: The Bob's Burgers Movie

This was surprisingly the year when I watched a lot of movies. Thankfully I'm not a filmbro (yet...) but I've really appreciated the time I made in actually going to the theaters more than once, so yeah Bobby's Bunger. I say it works on its own but it's definitely more for fans of the TV series and even then you probably have to see the season that came before this to have better context. Besides that, you're just enjoying the good vibes that come from the characters, the humor, the animation, and the pinch of musical numbers we get; Sunny Side Up Summer was legit an earworm banger. It overall works when you know the Belcher family because they carry this film.

Number 4 (2): Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Mate, when it reached a certain scene involving a poem, I was practically choking back my tears. You'll know there's a later stop-motion higher ranked, but this was the 2022 film that personally cut deep. I didn't think a film about talking shells would resonate with me this well, but this existed as more than just Youtube short films extended into a movie. There is a story here about grief, comfort, being internet famous, and community that I feel wouldn't have worked without it being like this. It had that cold but good reminder of how small you can feel with a world you can only wish to grasp in increments; that change is inescapable but that doesn't mean you should take that negatively. It's hard being fearless, risque as you can be with your opinions and ideas, especially with uncertainty. This I say is a great Autumn movie, wonderful in making the seasonal vibe feel more comforting.

Number 3: Smiling Friends

Yeah, it's high on the list. If it wasn't, that means Egoraptor probably made it. To me, Smiling Friends has the enjoyable chaos of Superjail and Aqua Teen with the thematic sincerity of Venture Bros or King of the Hill. It's the most easy-going adult cartoon that yeah, is funny as shit and is funnier the more you know behind the scenes. I gotta appreciate that this is the one time when people from the internet hit the big time and it doesn't feel like forgettable compromised trash. I'll say the Brazil episode was not good, but this was the consistently best show Adult Swim provided in a long while.

Number 2: Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio

Del Toro never gave up on this and what we got was better than expected. There are a couple story problems but it's more than made up by being an amazing retelling of the Pinocchio tale. I never grew up with Pinocchio mind you, I only got familiar with the story this year since it was everywhere, but I wanna say this was as strong an interpretation as one could make. Better than Disney's take I say where it's purposefully not squeaky clean in appearance or atmosphere making its poignant emotional moments hit a little harder. Being Del Toro's first fully animated movie, it's up there with Fantastic Mr. Fox as a film I'd consider a masterpiece on the dedication craft alone.

Honorable Mentions: Entergalactic, Hamster & Gretel, Minions 2, The Amazing Maurice, Chickenhare, League of Super Pets, Super Giant Robot Brothers, Cars on the Road, Little Demon, Pantheon, Baymax!, Turning Red, and Zootopia+

Number 1: The Bad Guys/Puss in Boots, Last Wish

I'll say it, Dreamworks truly owned the W this year. The fact that two-for-two Dreamworks gave us the best vibes in terms of films like it was nothing has to be appreciated. I was already a fan of Puss in Boots, the film and cartoon series worked as the Zorro franchise we could've got. The Last Wish enhances that with not only literal stellar and dynamic action, no bad characters, but an actual reflective story for Puss, like if the 1st film and series were about him being responsible this sequel was about him being humble, especially in regard to his own mortality and pride. This isn't just a regular adventure like before, there is genuine emotional weight behind what happens to the characters. Just saying, we didn't just get a fierce red-eyed wolf for furry-lusting sake, but an actually intimidating force that owns every scene he's in. Feels like this film truly marks the twilight of where the studio wants to go with its projects and I'm worried but faithful. Oh yeah, and The Bad Guys?

I didn't grow up with the OG books like I did with Captain Underpants, but this film both blew my mind and made me go back to see that the books were good too. Objectively, Puss in Boots was the better film but this was my personal year-round favorite. The VIBES this had with basically every other scene had me just as happy as when I saw the Captain Underpants movie. The animation, the banter, Diane who is everything, and the banging tunes like Good Tonight and the opening with Kitchen Clean were the cleanest scenes I loved all year. If Puss in Boots 2 was the modern Zorro movie I always wanted, this was the American Lupin the 3rd movie I never knew I would get.

All in all, Dreamworks put its best foot forward, far more than expected especially compared to last year or Disney this year. If anything, I'm definitely noticing a slow shift where more animated projects are... footloose and yards away from trying to look realistic or copy-pasted. Not saying it'll all work (remember when theOdd1sOut made a cartoon?) but it has me as faithful as before in seeing worthwhile stuff come to fruition. Then again nothing this year truly stacked up to the

ACTUAL NUMBER 1: SLIPPIN' JIMMY

I'm talking about the Breaking Bad masterpiece that earned a Slipjimmillion dollars in ratings and views, baby! The streaming service superstar of 2022 nothing could top it. Not Bluey, not Better Call Saul, not The Simpsons, not your dad, nothing came close! Slippin' Jimmy is the future!

WITH ALL THAT SAID, HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR!

the vacation episode of wbb is one of my favorites bc nom-nom & grizz funny moments, but the last scene where nom tell griz he loves him is wild, but what gets me is grizz asking for reassurance that he actually meant it and the other random guy reaction as 'omg what did he said?' like a hs girl asking about crushes just, i love that and that bear is gay

#wbb #me talking #i watched my favorite episodes again and i forgot this one #all grizznom eps are nice and we ignore the movie

Blurbs for Paige Bueckers x Caitlin Clark x You

So, I've been going a little feral over certain WBB players, so these are some blurbs I've had stuck in my head. If you guys want, I'll turn it into a two-parter fic.

PLEASE DONT STEAL (or at least ask first, please)

----------------------------------

It started with you and Caitlin at a bar with friends. Your friends were giggling over a Paige edit, talking about how attractive the UConn star was. They asked your opinion, and you agreed easily, not thinking much of it past the haze of tequila shots you were in. Caitlin was less than enthused.

On your way home, she grills you about your thoughts on Paige. You brush her off, giggling.

When you get home, Caitlin is all over you. She's rough and fast, like a post-game loss.

When you tell her to slow down, she immediately replies, "You think Paige would fuck you nice and slow, hm? Is that it?"

You jolt back in surprise, "Cait, wh-"

She doesn't let you finish before she's on you again.

Caitlin makes quips about Paige throughout the night. Saying things like, "You think her fingers would reach this deep?" and "Who's fucking you like this? Say my name, baby,"

You're shaking and crying from overstimulation by the time she's finished.

Once things have calmed down, you reassure her that she's the only one you want. She tells you she knows and apologizes if she was too rough. You tell her you enjoyed yourself and wouldn't mind doing it again.

-----------------------

Pt. 2: +Paige

Caitlin tells you Paige is spending a few days with you for winter break. You agree, completely forgetting about the incident from a couple of weeks ago.

You had met Paige a few times, and you liked her a lot. She reminded you of Caitlin in a lot of ways. She was a smart, beautiful, and funny girl who turned into a 6 ft beast when she got a basketball in her hands. It was hot, and in Caitlin's case, made you drip. (In Paige's case, too, if you were being honest).

When Paige got there, you guys settled for a chill night in. Paige and Caitlin let you decide on the movie, so you chose a Twilight marathon (you found it pretty fitting).

Halfway through "New Moon," Caitlin volunteered to refill the snacks. You get up to help her but get pulled into Paige's lap instead. Things quickly go downhill from there.

By the time Caitlin comes back, Paige's hand is high on your inner thigh, and you're blushing up a storm. Caitlin scoffs at the sight. "I thought you were supposed to be the 'Ultimate Rizzler,' Bueckers."

They spend the rest of the night taking turns with you, trying to one-up each other. You can barely remember your name by the time they're done.

Bonus:

Warning- Mommy and daddy kink

"You wanna tell Paige the special name you have for me, baby?" Caitlin asks you with two fingers stuffed in your mouth.

You whimper around her fingers, blushing.

"Come on, be good for me and tell her," Caitlin says, taking her fingers out of your mouth and wrapping her hand around your neck instead.

"M-mommy," You stutter out.

"That's cute, ma. Does that make me daddy?" Paige asks, grinning up at you from between your legs.

You whine, keening. "P-Paige, please,"

"Ah, ah, ah." She tuts, stopping her fingers. "That's not my name, is it baby?"

"Daddy...." You say, blushing. Caitlin and Paige share a look before looking down at you. You shiver, knowing it means you're in for a long night.

Part 2 of the WBB AU I'm thinking of making into a story

Here's Part 1

This will have more focus on Panda and Ice Bear, however this will contain spoilers for the movie

Panda and Ice Bear will still meet on the railroad like in canon, but with a few differences

Instead of the 2 seeing each other as brothers, they see each other as just friends (or best friends)

The 2 will probably not talk a lot to each other, because at the time, Panda would be the only one that speaks

I may or may not add in stuff where the bears are adults… maybe

Back with Grizz, since he's a cub alone and if he saw humans in the forest and would try to greet them, they'd probably run away from him, worrying that his mom is around, and since she's dead, Grizz would wonder why they're running away from him

One person would probably mention something about his mom, and since his mom is dead, he'd probably cry a lot (cmon I needed to add in some angst)

Grizz would probably want someone to adopt him, Panda and Ice Bear probably don't want to be adopted

Panda and Ice Bear will never meet Grizz, but I could make a possible non canon story or something about what if they met

#we bare bears #we bare bears au #we bare bears angst #we bare bears grizz #wbb grizz #we bare bears panda #wbb panda #we bare bears ice bear #wbb ice bear

In retrospect, "The Limo" feels both like a good and a disappointing episode

It's good on its own. It's disappointing when you look at it in the bigger picture.

Something that was set up at the beginning of the series (both in the show and in some author's posts) was that Panda was NOT a great person and as such he didn't deserve a girlfriend "at least not yet". He's selfish, his obsession with romance and girls is unhealthy and sometimes creepy, he initially doesn't consider others feelings when he can gain something for himself. Through all the series, he wasn't in his best behavior with Lucy, so to me it's honestly a good thing he didn't end up with her, because he didn't deserve it. And the conclusion of their story in "The Limo" has also the potential to teach that it doesn't matter how much time and how desperately you've pined over someone, you're not entitled to them and they can make their own choiches. Sounds cool, right?

The problem is that Panda barely develops though the show.

He was supposed to learn how to become a better person but he was just... Stuck to repeat the same lesson. Panda acts selfish -> bad things happen -> "oh I shouldn't have done that!" -> he's forgiven and everyone is happy -> he still acts selfish and inconsiderate next time.

At the end of "The Limo" Panda should have finally gained a healthier approach to girls and romance. I'm not saying he should have got a girlfriend (to be honest I was really worried that the wbb movie would have paired him with a random girl just because it was the last occasion, glad they didn't do it) but at least, I think, they should have showed that he learned something from his experiences.

Yet in "Bros City", a bunch of episodes later, he's doing the same stuff: he crushes hard for a stranger, he feels entitled to her (does the whole "I saw her first" and "you stole her from me" to Tom), he acts uncomfortable around them and sabotages Tom's chance. He learnt nothing. So... What was the point of Lucy's character and story then?

WBB has amazing episodes on its own, but they kinda fall flat when you look at the series in its entirety, because some characters arcs just go nowhere or get resetted and I mostly have this problem with Panda (I know the series was cancelled, but with four seasons there was enough room for that).

((ok, I have big problems with how Nom Nom was handled too but he's kinda his own peculiar case lol))

Someone could say that a slice of life show doesn't need continuity and characters development, but I don't fully agree with that. We got amazing modern slice of life cartoons with well done character development and well... Of course when you don't have a real plot, the characters and their interactions are the heart and whole body of the series, what would shine the most, so /of course/ it will eventually be frustrating to watch them being stucked with doing the same things over and over... And I mean... If wbb was really meant to be a show to watch with no expectation because the universe just resets at the end of every episode... then that would have been fine, sure. But they clearly tried to set up lot of small overarching subplots and developments so, what's the excuse?

I adore this show to bits but I'm not gonna lie to myself and say there aren't some flaws and wasted potential there and there (let's be honest, discussing what you love is usually more exciting than focusing on crappy stuff lol)

Anyway stan T-Pain
