Maybe it's because part of the creative team was involved on both shows. ;) it would have been difficult for INK to be a copy cat of Miraculous, thoug, since INK was written about 5 years before we did Ladybug.
There's a certain simplistic charm to villains from the Dick Dastardly school. No complex motives, no sympathetic backstories, they're just bad for the sake of being bad and loving every minute of it. That kind of villain can be really entertaining if handled right, as seen on this show.
To be fair, the animation really doesn't look that bad. It looks a lot more like a pilot you'd find on RU-vid made by an animator looking for a network.
Which isnt bad at all!...... Except when you realize that this show was picked up and more than the first episode has this animation. Though the teacher looks really well animated.
I used to watch this show RELIGIOUSLY. I'm not kidding. I loved KND and when they took it off air in the UK, I was so upset, but once I watched this show out of the blue one day, I just loved it. I know now that it is truly AWFUL, but I still love it to pieces. And having seen every episode of the show, I can safely tell you that, yes. Yes. Yes Miss Macbeth is the best part of the show, both animation wise and character wise. She's hilarious, her facial expressions throughout the episodes are HILARIOUS, it is like they made the whole show just to show off their animation of her, I love it.
Big mistake assuming that giving the girl glasses and braces was enough to make her look ugly. She's so cute, I'm afraid to talk about it because I might get put on a watch list.
I think Zero's character design doesn't fit her character's personality. Her personality is the Martial Arts master Her design is the near emotionless goth kid They don't match.
I kind of want Mr.Enter to review Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures but then again I don't. I'm a fan of that show and I sort of worry if he'll bash it if he chooses to check it out even if he gives the show more atention in the prosses Victor Hernandez.
+Jack Man whatever happened to that show? Did it just get canceled? I was kinda looking forward to see how it would end properly, especially if the Ghost Gang get their bodies back.
I'm not fully sure yet Christopher Mcphearson. I still haven't got to see all the episodes of season 2 yet but then again I too am still wondering what might be going on at *"41 Entertainment"* or *"Namco/Bandai."* Considering that we haven't heard much them in a while.
I've decided that Macbeth and Doofenshmirtz are related somehow, and both Robbie Rotten and Waluigi are the sons of MacBeth and Awful B. Bad. It just makes so much sense. Mr. Crocker's just a family friend, and Him's probably the kids' nanny.
Miss Macbeth, huh? I wonder what her OkCupid profile says. "School teacher, looking for a Scottish nobleman for long-term relationship. Must be influential and ambitious. If you're not willing to commit murder in order to become king, don't even contact me!"
It's probably been mentioned, but, according to wikipedia, the VA for Mrs. Macbeth is American actor Sharon Mann, who also did VA work for Code Lyoko as...wait for it...Aelita and Jeremie!
Voicing Aelita AND Jeramie....? Huh. I know it's somewhat common for female voice actors to do male roles sometimes as well, but I swear, half the time it's nearly impossible to tell at times. Kudos!
As an extra note, the voice director was also involved in Code Lyoko! Said individual also happened to be Odd's VA. The coincidences are everywhere and I love it.
I just realized something 'Vin' means 'Wine' in French And this show is made in France So this kid show literally has a character named after a type of alcohol If that's a coincidence, it's one of the most awkward coincidences I've seen in a while
The name Miss Macbeth reminded me of my elementary school secretary, Miss Beth who TERRIFIED everyone and screamed at you if you didn’t have perfect manners. That woman seriously made about half the school cry. I tried to forget about her
So, crazy fact. Miss Macbeth's voice actress actually DID work on Code Lyoko, as Jeremy and Aelita. She also played the movie versions of several DBZ characters.
Jack Harpe 3rd Now I want "Him" to somehow get Miss Macbeth, Dr. Dooenshmirtz, Mr. Crocker, and pretty much every character along those lines to work together to take down the Kids Next Door or something. That may be the most idiotic thing I've said all day, and yet I still think it's a brilliant idea.
Putrick Stir when you enter the god realm, a realm that mere mortals cant understand. What these immortals do is uncomprehendable, something we think is strange or "fucking insane what the fu-." Or maybe they're just fucking loonies.
The Silver Skydancer Yeah, there aren't that many goth characters who aren't designed with emo in mind. And I like her voice. She sounds like a boy, but it's not like with 2016 Buttercup where it sounds like the voice actress is trying too hard.
It wasn't to the point of obesity, but a woman being overweight was a sign of attractiveness in ancient greek as well as the Renaissance. It had to do with a perceived notion of fertility I think? But during the renaissance, it was considered attractive for a woman to have some chub and look incredibly pale.
Tyler van de Ven I don't know If that is correct but It could also be because Chubbier Women would have been coming from an richer Family which Implies That she is Intelligent and has Manners
Actually you're wrong. There's specifically one painter who painted healthy weight but softer looking women as attractive - Rubens. He was considered more than a bit of a chubby chaser compared to his colleagues and his work can be identified solely by having larger women. However Rubens drew much thinner women in his more erotic pieces and the largest women he drew was in the kidnapping and rape of two women and they weren't meant to portray attractiveness but wealthy monarchies as it was political commentary about the upcoming interaction between the French and Spanish monarchies. (The Abduction/Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus) Even in said piece, the women were less than ~5'1" (average at the time) and were still on the medium side of healthy weight, just without muscle and certainly nothing we would call overweight let alone obese. His other work (Portrait of Susanne Fourment) is much more slender to portray beauty (is was a simple portrait not a political piece). That's from the era's chubby chaser. Not even to mention that most nude models were male, so there were also distortions in body size and shape for unclothed women (mostly huge barrel rib cages and the shape of the hips being compacted, low, and very masculine due to the cultural value placed on female modesty, virtue and virginity preventing female models.) For comparison his peer Poussin painting Venus and Adonis, the two figures of male and female beauty in Mythology upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2e/Venus_and_Adonis_-_Poussin_-_1624_-_Texas%2C_Fort_Worth%2C_Kimbell_Art_Museum.jpg They are much, much thinner than anything Rubens paints. You also have to take intent into consideration when trying to interpret a culture's idea of beauty. No one thinks fashion models are supposed to be beautiful - they're rail thin to show off the garment without distraction. Victoria's secret models are supposed to be attractive, so they're fuller figured, fit and naturally curvaceous. The best way to do this for the past is to use figures who are supposed to be attractive. In that time, Venus represented beauty and Adonis male beauty. Using paintings of Venus (like above) show us what beauty meant to that painter. Any of his peers - Sebastiano Ricci, Sandro Botticelli, Diego Velazquez, etc, all draw thinner women than Rubens - He is the outlier by far. The most famous Venus painting (The birth of Venus by Botticelli, aka Venus on a half shell) is very thin with visible upper abs. In truth the middle ages had rail thin waifs with tiny, tiny breasts and small, round faces. By the renaissance, the look was much the same, but added a more curvaceous bone structure mimicking their dresses and downplaying of bones. No real muscle to speak of (that's for working peasants!) The Baroque period did little else with that concept except to further downplay bones (like chins!) and focus on light and specifically luminous skin and blushes/flushing. There wasn't an era in western art where very large women who could be considered overweight let alone obese were seen as attractive. That's a modern day myth. There are other cultures where it is so, but not European.
I loved this show when I was younger. Been looking for it for years. I remember Ms Macbeth’s backstory eating crap food in a school cafeteria when she was a kid. Shit was sad :(
The whole "preachy, hypocrite friends" thing is why I hate "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" episode of MLP. Rainbow Dash's friends get all petty that Rainbow is drinking in the attention of her fans, so they invent a superhero to take her down a peg and then intentionally irritate her by boasting how great Mare-Do-Well is. Ignoring the fact that they do save people as Mare-Do-Well, how they act outside of the costume (and their initial reasons for donning it) make them into self-righteous hypocrites. And they have no reason to keep their identities a secret EXCEPT to mess with Rainbow Dash.
Whilst I didn't watch much of this show Macbeth did get me into the idea of tragic villens since a lot of her motivations came from her really shity childhood like one were she was basically traumatised from eating food with any flavour due to being forced to eat all the garbage that was the food at her old school.
An insanely over the top, egomaniac cartoon bad guy with an equally cazy traumatic childhood that pushed them down this path of villainy, and whose arch enemies are secret agents. She's the female version of Dr. Doofenschmertz. They're perfect for each other, I ship it.
@@nerdyfan21 Yes that is a thing. It's the only episode I saw because it was on TV while I was stuck with nothing else to do with my free time, but I remember laughing from beginning to end. Then the next episode was McBeth forcing one of the kid to cheat at chess.
It's pretty cool. She looks like a character from the "The World Ends with You" or some other modern JRPG. That's the only thing I actually like about her though....
Now to pause the video, see how many diurnal people are complaining about sleep, then continue with a sense of superiority. Hail the nocturnal master race!
Spingebill is an overrated source. YTP needs variety. Besides, with every Spingebill YTP, there is the inevitable risk of Viacom striking it with a copyright claim.
The thing about the show's name is only accurate in english though, as the original french title is Mission Invisible, which you can clearly see both the translation and the reference (Mission : Impossible, if you still don't) and also implies the original intentions of being more based of secret agents rather than kids.
I'm having an amazing time browsing through Ms. Macbeth's songs. They're the most terrifying, awe-inspiring, disgusting, yet beautiful things I've ever seen.
So the villain of the series will always have a musical number with weird costumes... Now all they need is a snarky talking animal companion and an introverted male sidekick, then everything will be complete!
Am I the only one that liked totally spies, I mean it wasn't anything to be hyped up about but it's at least entertaining and grabbed my attention somewhat as a kid.
I liked it, but I also liked Braceface and a few of the other Teletoon shows. Yeah they weren't *compelling*, but they did catch my interest and occasionally had some interesting stories to tell. It doesn't have to be a new idea to be interesting to a child, especially when to them, it *is* new.
Will admit that I liked Totally Spies along with Martin Mysteries. There were good for their time, especially since there were few good shows on those genre at the time to.
Of course not, I loved Totally Spies and Martin Mystery. That said though, I haven't watched it in a few years so they might not be as good as I remember.
"Also you know that dream? That actually happened in the middle of the episode, and Kathie was just hypnotized into thinking it was dream. YEAH!? You just got Taratino'ed from a kids show in the late 2000s!" Love that zinger at the end.
Enter, I've gotta say, this was the most humorous review of yours I've ever seen, and I love it because of that! I like this Enter much better than the angry, screaming, saying "fuck" every other word Enter. Of course I like most of your content, but this has to be my favorite review of yours, just because you seem like you had so much fun recording it.
Not necesserially "overweight", but actually, yeah, if you look at some pictures from the Renaissence, it is actually not rare for the people there to be be painted as slightly chubby. Well, the women. The men are usually painted as muscular. Anyway: If you are to look at Venus de Milo, for a example, she is most certainly NOT painted as skinny. She is not necesserially "fat", but she is chubby. And this is suppose to be a painting of Venus, the goddess of beauty.
You mean curvy? Either way, that "chub" was popular because it supposedly meant the woman was well-suited for childbirth, not because they necessarily idolized a specific body type like we do today.
Amber Main it's still a beauty standard though, regardless of useful reasons like ease of childbirth or likely longevity. nowadays we tend to have the opposite since weight is associated with poor health/quality of life (though the actual issues are vastly inflated by people profiting off of people's insecurities) and used as many's reasons for finding someone UNattractive. humans probably won't get away from this sort of thing until we get rid of our physical forms entire and implant ourselves in microchips, at which point we'll probably just starting judging each other over the frequency of our brain waves or something. humans are judgemental little bastards to the core.
my dude... chill out. it's not that deep. I know tone doesn't come across amazingly on youtube comments, but if someone uses the term 'little bastard'... they're not seriously lamenting whatever it is they're referring to. they're just british. as long as you have some sort of diminutive in front of your insult, it becomes affectionate.
and babies have abbs, stop buying into Peter Paul Rubens meme or soon you will be using tapestry drawings as "proof" that 50% of all medieval armies were made out of women.
My Life Me is actually more Canadian than French. With the head animator being a Canadian graphic novel artist, who can draw very well in still images but not in animation and the director/writer being a Canadian picture book author (does both kid's stuff and adult's stuff). If you're asking how I know this stuff about it. Well, I wrote my own review and I like to give a bit of background to them. The director is a major stoner. She wrote a picture book about a pickle who smokes pot... the show makes a whole lot more sense now doesn't it?
Ok I just found this guy a few days ago and I'm watching through his videos and he starts this by saying Code Lyoko is some of the best goddamn things ever... I think I'm going to like this guy going forward. (continues to watch having paused the video, he says the theme song is so good it's in his top ten ever made) Ok never mind I know I'm going to like this guy going forward.
Ahhh finally Mr. Enter utterly evicirates something from my childhood. Please John. Destroy this monster and remove the horrors of my childhood from my brain. EDIT: I do agree though that Miss Macbeth is the best part of the show. She was my favourite character of the show watching it. Her voice actresses did an amazing job.
well, about the beauty through the ages part-being obese wasn't really "celebrated", but being bigger/having more fat showed that you were rich enough to feed yourself well. so it wasn't necessarily a beauty thing, although if you look at classical art, you'll see lots of people with more curves than what is usually depicted nowadays as the "beauty standard". the idea that thin = beautiful is actually a fairly recent development
Finally, the show i couldn't remember the name of that i thought was really good shows up... Haven't seen it since i was about 10 but i remember it being very good
Is it me, or does Ms. Mcbeth look a bit like Mrs. Bitters from invader zim? Edit: I'm only halfway through this video and I got an ad for braces... Edit 2: the show he's reviewing is so stupid I had to stop halfway through the video and take a two day break, as I am writing this comment the video is buffering but how bad could it have it possible been? Edit 3: Fuck, it's terrible. Edit 4: this show is alot more complicated then the Zelda timeline.
I always thought the only reason people watched Totally Spies is because they thought the main characters were hot. I'll give it this, they got the anime art style down. It's colorful, and gives My Life Me less reasons to look like shit.
Mr Zilla Hmm I liked the characters and the comedy (and the style), with the occasional plot. It wasn't the most incredible show on the planet, but it was _fun_. I still enjoy it now, and I never viewed the characters as hot or fetish-anything. But they are fairly attractive I guess?
Mr Zilla The only thing I know about Totally Spies is from Reddit were it listed all the fetishes covered in the episodes like one about weight gain and furry content in multiple instances.
Of all the episodes of yours that I've watched this is, perhaps, my favourite. The sheer amount of fun you sound like you're having while talking about this show makes this incredibly fun. If you find more stuff that brings out this kind of mood I'd love to see it. You're awesome.
6:50 This is a character that people like because of her design...and that's it.. I mean look at it: the white hair, moody attitude, and her very Hot Topic clothing, she looks like she was ripped straight from an anime/JRPG. I mean Christ almighty, her name is Zero. Just add some belts and random accessories to her design or some back story about her parents dying or being abusive and you've got the cherry on top of this try-hard angst sundae.
I think it would be very funny if people who love Zero also hate Vin for being so vapid and vain because it would show just how fucking unself aware the fandom is.I can see someone thinking that way though. Hating a character for being superficial even though their favourite character has a nice design and no personality.
To be fair, France also has Illumination Studios Paris (where all of the animation for Illumination Entertainment films are done, which is pretty nice because they pay and treat their animators well and apparently have a Pixar animator), Fortiche Production (the guys behind “Arcane”), ON Animation, and even Unit Image (the animation studio who did the animation for the 2017 trailer for “Beyond Good and Evil 2”, which is still in development hell, apparently). So, that’s pretty amazing.😁👍🏻
Mr. Enter, if you ever played Bloodborne, you'd know that insanity and enlightenment are the same thing. You have eyes on the inside, my friend. You can watch cartoons and movies from your mind's eye.
Among animators, the french are a joke in terms of animation.... because they're SO FUCKING GOOD AT IT. There are SO MANY TIMES where the rest of us non-French animators would just be like "ugh. The French" and all the other animators in the room would nod knowingly. Some of their tv stuff may be weird, but as a whole it's considered a fact within the animation industry that French animation, the good stuff, is God Tier. I can't tell you how often we've freaked out over something really well animated, only to see it was outsourced to be animated in France, and then everything just goes "Oh. Ok now it makes sense." Also God Bless Europe for keeping 2D animation alive and kicking. ....Even the best of the industry has its duds though.
Hey Enter, I just want to say, I really appreciate how your content has gotten better over time. I generally watch Admirable Animations over the Atrocities series because I love the positivity and I think your analytical side comes out more when something is good enough to actually point out the merit. I know I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I wanted to spread that positivity back to you. Thanks for making great videos. Also, why don't you like Totally Spies? Did you know it's French, not Canadian?
22:10 um no, in regard to the renaissance paintings, there is more pictures of obsessed/plumped women in that era. plumpness and pale skin were signs of status, purity, health, maternity, and beauty. these all harken back to medieval art of the virgin mary being bountiful with christ. it wasn't until the baroque era did this aesthetic start to change and even still the women were fuller than an average sized woman in our society today. this was mainly due to having a painting commissioned meant one was of wealth and thus was plumper in appearance as a sign of not starving. that is not a historical myth. pretty sure i learn that when getting my bfa and license in teaching art education k-12. did the show go into depth? no. were they wrong? no. did you go into depth? no. were you wrong? yes.
Hey, Totally Spies wasn't bad! The animation was decent, the characters were fun, it had lots of quirky ideas with the spy themes, the concept of combining Clueless with James Bond/Charlie's Angels was creative, and the comedy was pretty good.
Fun fact: The English voice of Miss Macbeth is voiced by the same actress who voiced Aelita and Jeremie/Jeremy in Code Lyoko, Sharon Mann. This is probably my favourite review of yours so far tbh
Did anyone read the N.E.R.D.S. book series? With Jackson/"Braceface", a vain kid that was scared of getting braces? That got his braces upgraded to form nanobyte-powered limbs? Just me? Okay.
1. I honestly love this show. I dunno, nostalgia's gotten to me. 2. A better letter-to-number code would would be first converting the message to Caesar code (move each letter three letters ahead. E.g. A=D). So therefore, the code would be harder to crack.
It had some REALLY good moments, but the fact it never got a full opportunity to really grasp what it wanted to be is quite sad. Like the whole storyline involving Vin being an orphan and being very uncooperative and depressed on school picture day, and the hints that the head teacher knows who Vin's parents are, what with him sealing the picture of Vin in an addressed envelope. Or the whole storyline of Zero being a runaway taken in by the school who loves Vin but won't admit it because her father made her lose trust in people. Though definitely, the show is aimed at a much younger audience and it is quite childish in the first half, though, as the saying goes: "Don't judge something you haven't seen". Remember that he only reviewed the first two episodes here, not the whole show, it is in the first few episodes where nearly every show in existence is trying to really find itself.
