Couldn’t agree more. If I wanted to watch someone pretend to have magical powers and interact with nonexistent set pieces, I’d assemble my game group. There’s so much that you can do with animation that just cannot be done live action. I miss when animated movies had distinct styles that contributed to the atmosphere the fiction was building. Live action is comparatively empty of expression.
I don’t know her personal struggles, but I think part of growing up is feeling like that. That’s why so much of the music kids listen to has that theme regardless of genre. Pop, punk, country, metal, rap - it’s all “no one understands me”. Then I think you meet other likeminded people and you grow out of it as you realize the whole world is filled with individuals and they all have their own stuff going on. You’re not a special snowflake when you realize everyone is, and then you kinda become an adult who lives in society.
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve already seen arcane, and apparently scavenger’s rain is already on my list, though I don’t remember adding it. Just added nimona though. Arcane definitely fits the bill, so I imagine the others will as well. It really is a great example of how the medium affects the message.
