Something I'm generally only now really thinking about with Glitch is how a lot of their pilots aren't really pilots as much as they're episode ones

I feel like if you wanna know what a show pilot should look like, look at The Amazing World of Gumball's, it was about Gumball and Darwin trying to break out of school, but their plan fails, and that's the end of the pilot, theres no deeper lore or implications about character relations or worldbuilding, it only had the varied animation styles, general character designs, just in general what you could expect with the show, two friends gettin' into shit with light homosexuality between bros along the way.

Even with TADC's pilot, it's not really a pilot as much as it's an episode one, whereas I feel like the teasers were better pilots. Yes, you learned basically nothing from the teasers, whereas the pilot tells and shows you how things will work in the show. I genuinely think if the teasers were instead combined, where its Caine going over all the humans and what they're about, and in-between we see how they react while Caine's doing all that, we could see Kinger tweaking out, we could see Jax abusing Gangle and Ragatha going to comfort them while Zooble smacks Jax upside the head, that kind of stuff, that would be an actual *pilot*

And honestly while you can definetly extend this to all of Glitch's other shows, but I think Game Overse is definetly where this idea can be fully applied. I haven't seen it, but from what I've seen, the premise is:

Kit and Kaboodle (very good names like I couldn't come up with these) go on adventures to stop video game protagonists from winning as if they do win, the world ceases to exist, and theres an evil gang trying to help the protagonists win.

Maybe, it's just like, the two arrive at a game, figure out whats happening, and they both go to the final boss to help them prepare, while we occasionally cut in to the villains helping the protagonist, K' 'n K' fail, the universe ends, and we learn why the villains want games to end.

From what I've seen, it is basically this but with a lot more steps. It starts with K' 'n K' failing to stop a dinosaur named Gobbles from completing a phrase and the world ends, and they escape with Gobbles. Where after some banter from Schlatt the enemy show up and start killing them, making them crash in a new game, where the gang is seperated, Kaboodle is trying to train the big bad, while Kit and Gobbles try to find the dolphin protag, stuff happens, the villians get their hands on the protag, the protag defeats the antag, the world ends.. I think.. Again I haven't watch the episode, but I imagine after that, the clip of Kit being sad and Gobbles, the weird child dinosaur with a 38 yo smoker's voice cheers her up.

Despite really shortening it, I know for sure I'm leaving quite a bit out, like a bunch of moments from the two lackeys of the main villian, where from what I've seen, we just get a bunch of moments about them really disliking each other.. couldn't we just, see that as they help the protagonist? Just have them subtly bicker while they help the protagonist out just so its like, they clearly only tolerate each other because they have the same job, you don't need two or three whole moments dedicated to it. Also, the emotional moment that happens at some point, cut it, why is this shit here? Just give Kit body language 'n stuff implying that they don't really get much success and she blames herself every time they fail. Have it be passing, not an entire moment. I also ask who this is for, gamers? I'm not really that big into this show, nothing particularly speaks to me outside of all the gamer talk. I saw a post on Twitter just calling the show Learning with Pibby 2, and lowkey, yeah I can see why someone would view it like that. And, the pilot just leaves too many questions for it to be a pilot. Why do games end when they're completed? Wouldn't it just kinda be nature? What about sandbox games? What about Rougelikes? What about a game like Minecraft where the game is a sandbox, yet it TECHNECALLY has an endgoal, being defeating the dragon? What about games where the hero succeeding means like, freedom for all? A game like Sonic, where Sonic failing means Eggman conquers the planet and enslaves everyone? Are they gonna ask something like;

"Would you rather have your friends live in despair, or die in happiness?" Judging by how they have an extreme emotional moment in the first episode, I feel like they're gonna half-ass the question should they ever ask it.

And honestly, one of the biggest.., I guess "red flag" about this show, is the body diversity, it's no secret that nearly everyone has criticized the show about it, nearly every female in the show has the same conventionally attractive physique, while the guys are quite varied. Kit, Mis Information, any of the other girls supposedly from Kit's game, they all look basically exactly the same, just with different attributes. I saw an image, I can't find it now, but it was of two cat people at like, a bar table, and one of them was a fairly hefty boy, and the other looked like Kit but older..

And appearantly those were Kit's parents..

The dad, was the bootleg Big the Cat, and the mom was the sleek one... Really? Really? Mis Information, seemingly human(?), she looks like if Kit wasn't a catgirl and a karen, like theres virtually no difference in body type, at all.

Also

Actually I'm only now thinking of this but Game Overse has only supposedly had a "pilot" but theres already a shitton of merch for the show, and their new advertisement is basically just them saying

"BUY THE NEW MERCH BUY THE NEW MERCH BUY THE NEW MERCH BUY THE NEW MERCH"

Over and over, and, initally, when Glitch still wasn't very big, I'd believe the whole "crowdfunding" thing, but nowadays, where Glitch is getting one of their finalizes in THEATERS, and they're willing to shovel out merch for shows WITH ONLY ONE EPISODE, I think money has for the most part, stopped being an issue. And they're so persistent about merch, nearly every video that drops on Glitch that isn't a teaser or merch video has it's own dedicated merch video. I also don't really like these as outside of a few gems like the one TADC one where they sing, the rest are usually just "characters react to being turned into merch"

Anyways, in short, I think Glitch since conception has lost the plot of what a pilot is supposed to be, and Game Overse is a prime example of it.

(ONE MORE THING, THE WEBSITE ON MOBILE IS AWFUL EVEN SWITCHING IT TO THE DESKTOP FORM SUCKS)

PILOT FOR MY DUMB LITTLE CARTOON!

i made this like four days ago but i remembered i had somewhat of an audience here and so Why not post in case anyones interested

it also includes an in-universe social media site! i spent a while working on this and its like the first project of this scale i have Ever done so any support or criticism is very appreciated :)

if you were one of the few people who saw the ask-willow-whisp askblog i made last year, this features the same characters!

[tsdtalks]

I’m so excited to share this with you all, the first episode of my show The Auteur is coming this Saturday!! AAAAAA!

[galacticgarlic]

You know what’s really funny to me about W*lker?

Even if no one had posted misinformation or jokes, if the entirety of Tumblr had simply spoken facts and facts alone, THE PREMIERE WOULD STILL BE BAD! 

Like, the only good things about it were the cinematography and set design and stuff! Everything else was just bad!

Amaryllis pilot

Trying to make a rough animatic for my passion project. So far I’m a one person show, but I am determined nonetheless. I don’t really want it to be an indie show but I doubt a studio I like would pick it up lol.

Anyway to whoever sees this please support it when it comes out (hopefully sometime this summer) Support is everything to me!

Also will be posting a short animation of the main characters soon too :3

It’ll be posted on my YouTube channel and maybe here on Tumblr

Seeing all this stuff about Game Over Verse has made me decide I won't be watching it

I already don't really care about most Glitch productions mediums besides Gaslight District

Especially with idiots hating (and sensible people criticizing) the appearance of female characters in the pilot when the designer of them said she was also a woman like that meant it was absolved of all criticism. Personally, they all look the same, the same conventionally attractive figure 'n all, I don't care if "they're from the same universe"

CHARACTERS CAN BE FROM THE SAME PLACE AND LOOK DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT personally I feel like if a bunch of characters are gonna be very similar in appearance to each other, you need a reason for it, if you have a bad one or none at all, it's not good,

I have intention on creating a game and there are generally seven main species, and while they're all humanoid, its just because its better for their more advanced lives, not just because "I want more interesting humans"

Like from the two people and Kit I've seen who are supposedly from the same universe, they all really look like they're from the same base model but with different accessories, I don't want like, horrendous looking characters, just people that aren't copy+paste of each other.

I saw an image comparing the variety of the male characters in comparison to the female characters and it was wild, and, yeah, it does, at least a VERY SMALL bit, like a 0.0001% chance, that some sexism could be in play here, I'm not really qualified to speak about this besides that everyone, including women, can be misogynistic. Anyways, the clip of whoever voiced by Jschlatt suddenly fucking exploding and screaming is the only positive thing I've seen from this show, its fucking hilarious

Also what happens if the game is like Sonic where if the protagonist doesn't win their friends are gonna like, be forced into slavery or die or smthn, like, not every game is just

"X cute character needs to defeat the evil Y character!"

Theres shit like

"X character needs to defeat the actual dictator who if not stopped will fully conquer the world and subject everyone to years of endless working until they drop dead where their children will be forced to do the same while the villain gets richer and richer to do the same to the rest of the universe"

Like what fucking then

A good question would be, would you rather have your friends alive but in constant despair, or have them die in bliss?

This show doesn't seem like it wants to ask those questions, it unironically feels like Spiderverse with Canon events but theres even more questions somehow

What about games where things are already fucked?
