      She-Ra's execution would of course be varied, since it's a multi-season cartoon (and seasons 2 and 3 show an obvious lack of polish) but if you made it to the end, I'd argue you don't actually dislike it that much.
      As for your opinion on MOTU, you should never think of an any piece of media as an attack on you. It's never true and not productive. From the first trailer it was clear that it would be intense and action-packed, not the "wholesome himbo adventures" which can be found in abundance in the Filmation era. Kevin Smith didn't set out to hurt your feelings, he was was making a fanservice-packed over-the-top story with one of his favorite toy lines. He's a huge nerd, not an emotional terrorist.

    I don’t think Zulius is a Zebrataur. I think he’s a normal horse type centaur that painted himself with stripes because he tries to be extra in every way he can. There is a scene near to the beginning of episode 5 when it starts to rain and his stripes begin to melt off along with his makeup; I also think that it would perfectly match his personality for him to do this.
    (Edit: after reading all the replies and watching most of season 2, I’m pretty sure he is a Zebrataur)

If I’m remembering correctly, Zulius and Derpulton both have a spell that can change their stripes/spots into the shape of food (wasn’t it pies?) So it wouldnt be that outlandish to think that Zulius’ stripes ‘melting’ in the rain wasn’t just a visual gag in the form of a spell, one that maybe reflected his mood momentarily.

    ngl, one of the reasons I started watching Centaurworld was because Rider was pretty and from the clips I had seen she seemed to be in the "strong female lead" type of character. While that wasn't exactly the case, I still found myself really enjoying the show; gradually getting to know each character, that they're more than just happy-goofy personas. Also, the choice to move character development and plot along with song/a musical was amazing. Side note, I'm pretty sure Zulius is my favorite character, then rider of course.

    The only downside of more people watching Centaurworld is that I anticipate at least some people (ie Lily Orchard) stirring up needless drama, like whether or not it’s ‘ethical’ for people to ship Horse & Wammawink.

    • @CthulhusBFF2
      @CthulhusBFF2 3 года назад +56

      @@wavesofbabies There are a few things to consider. I did a quick Google search but couldn't find any official source confirming Rider's canonical age, so the jury's still out on whether Rider's a minor. I tend to err on the side of 'assume teen character is a minor unless proven otherwise,' so that's already a solid reason not to ship em. Even if Rider is an adult, she treats Horse as a pet in the events leading up to Horse's transportation to Centaurworld. This is understandable since Horse can't initially speak, but is still a significant power imbalance that would put any romantic relationship on a very shaky/iffy start even after Horse's upgrade in intelligence. Not to mention their dynamic gave off a more sibling vibe, with the opening scene of Ep 1 implying that Horse is the closest thing to family that Rider has. I personally wouldn't ship it, but I'm not going to throw around any horse-f*cker accusations at someone who does in a post-Brony world.

    • @wavesofbabies
      @wavesofbabies 3 года назад +16

      All good points. There are a ton of moral wrinkles to sort out and I find it completely fascinating trying to sort through it.
      Not saying I ship it or against shipping it. I just got the feeling that it might be where the show is heading (way more than Wammawink/Horse, which feels more parent/child than anything). It certainly would make the half dozen songs of Horse pining for Rider make a lot more sense.
      I think another moral wrinkle is how sentient was Horse prior to going to Centaurworld? If she had Earth horse level intelligence or just couldn't talk (or do any of the cartoony movement) until being introduced to magic? And if she wasn't sentient before Centaurworld, do you take into account her age or just the time from becoming sentient? I do believe an "adult" can be not mentally mature enough to be considered one (as opposed to the disgusting vice versa). Does Horse fall into that area? And if Rider and Horse are *both* not adults, is that okay? Is the relationship of them before her sentiency has an effect on the morality of a relationship between them afterwards (again have to consider the power dynamic).
      Again, huge amounts of moral wrinkles that would have to be ironed out and grey areas where the show would have to take a stand on, maybe to the detriment of some's enjoyment of the show.
      It would be, however, an incredibly bold for a show to attempt to pull off. Especially in one as, in the end, wholesome as this.

That just being in one world or another, any character would eventually fit whichever world they were in. But this is contradicted by the existence of the mystery woman. She's still got that angular, detailed human-world style, and she's not a recent arrival. Pairing that with the fact that Horse's transformation is coupled to her character growth, and especially an I Want song, and it implies art style changes are a function of mentality and perspective, not place. So in Season 2, we might see Waterbaby become more realistic in the human world as she helps plan for war, or we might not, if she retains her reliable optimism. But we might ce the centaurs become more realistic as Horse prepares them for war and they have to face the realities that they have been actively denying with flash and glitter.
    Also it recontextualizes the Sudden Anime Faces. Yes, those are still a joke, but they're consistent with the idea of form being function and style change indicating a change in approach and mentality.

    I saw the trailer to this originally and right away thought it looked insulting. LIKE where have cartoons fallen to? I ended up hearing the Nowhere King song not even knowing where it was from. I ended up finding the source marathoning this show and finding a new favorite. Some shows really just need to be given a chance and not judged based on just the cover. This show is as close to a masterpiece as possible honestly. If the second part of this season (which is confirmed I think) is as good as the first half it might just end up being my favorite cartoon of all time. Great analysis as well. It gives a lot of insight into this show.

    The main reason CW got very little exposure is that it's rated 7+ and Netflix usually only advertises these things to people who watch Netflix Kids. To be fair, the show really is a great show for kids, and at Netflix they probably weren't really expecting it to get any traction for adults. Hopefully it will get enough exposure eventually (the next 10 eps are already in the making, but after that the future of the show is very uncertain).

    2: The no one talks about Waterbaby enough
    3: Backstory Magic was not used to it's fullest
    4: ...Comfortable Doug is only an OK character. (Yes, the video is correct in the symbolism and his role, I believe, but I just didn't find him to be a favorite of mine)

    Just in case anyone missed it.
    They had different companies animate the characters from each world. Just as Wizard of Oz changed filming methods to visually demonstrate different worlds, they did this here too.
    Horse was animated by a different company through much of the series until being handed over when she wins the Be Best sash. This would be like if the Wiz took it one step further and had Dorothy in B&W until she reached Emerald city.
    This is the level of detail and pains they took to make this series.
    Oh. Also. Check out the dubs. They translated the songs (I only understand German and French enough to appreciate, but try it out on Comfortable Doug), rather than just using the English version, or having the dubber (dubster?) sing the English lyrics.

    This show is like an a+ young adult cartoon wrapped inside a d tier kids cartoon. You remember how Steven universe had goofy episodes but looking back, they really fleshed out the character and world of the show and made it better? Centaur world doesn't hit that same mark for me.
    I totally get that "grim story hidden in childish goofs" is what they were going for but being intentional doesn't make it good, it just makes it frustrating. Overall I think I liked it (and I adored certain parts of it) but don't think I could recommend it.

    That stone wall carving, what if the human and the centaur are them? What if PHL (purple hair lady) were like friends just how horse and rider are, but NK took it to heart when PHL left/ went missing. And he changed for the worse? Or maybe he asked the twin trees to help him bring her back or something , but they didn’t and it made him really made, or maybe they ‘gave him what he needed’ and corrupted him (in hignsight that is not it, but its still on the table.

There was something to this show and perhaps its style of humor didn't get to me. I did absolutely adore Wammawink and even seeing the parts of your talk about how Horse changed herself. But the ideas of Comfortable Doug and the way the music had tied itself in even on something simple as the way Horse is fed, are really solid points. I want to give this show another chance and thank you dearly for being the comfortable soul that you are to talk as you did about it. I'll be sure to pass this video and the talk of CentaurWorld to some friends out there. As you said yourself, this show certainly needs more notice from others (even myself, lol).

    Honestly I'm still unwilling to cheak it out because I really hate the character design and animation style. It's pretty much the standard of current western animation industry many ways and I don't want to encourage it. It's just so unpleasant, cheap looking and lol so random you guys. I didn't care for it when Adventure Time came and became big. This more simple and rubbery thing was new back then and AT at least had great and imaginative backgrounds even if the characters looked flat and inconsistent. Even though I really liked some seasons of AT the animation never worked for me and this point I'm just so tired of it. I'm in point that I don't care about the writing, voice acting or music, I just want to see something that looks less flat and doodly. I know that anime exist and there the characters have weight and mass, and environments look like real places while still taking advantage of being drawings but I have my own issues there and love having break from it and right now I can't really find it new stuff. It's either this overly simple putty or very stiff paperdoll animation, neither something I find fun to watch.
