lmao. theyre a multi million dollar company now with streaming deals and tons of connections. they ARE the industry at this point.
I wish these guys would stop pretending they’re fighting for the little guy and just say that yes they’re going for the grift.

>>153193056
then don't release it like 2 fucking weeks early in a limited theatre run. this is a fabricated issue, they're not gonna magically start respecting indie animation more because the astorturfed circus jerk show got a few showings.

Do you honestly think some indie youtube thing at the tale end of the series would be as popular or more than the latest Marvel thing or whatever? At least start with the beginning episodes so people new to the franchise have a chance to catch on.

You obviously didn't read >>153192909
Since it states they theaters requested it be shown two weeks before the YouTube release. Theaters aren't going to take a risk of wasting a showing for indie animation that's available for free on YouTube.

The reason this is so popular is small kids figured out they could watch edgy shit and it has bright colors for them to look at, that's like a majority of the focus this gets.

It really doesn't. It just means that Glitch and Spindlehorse will get bigger and more corporate, and reinforce the idea that you NEED to sign up with them (or a company like them) if you want to see any form of success.
Like with gaming and "indie" publishers.

The ONLY thing I've ever appreciated about going to a theater is the communal aspect of watching something with fans. Most times I just want to watch something by myself or a few personal friends in way better quality.

>>153193396
Yeh, you'd think by doing that they'd bring more traffic to their youtube channel and it would be more profitable for them in the long run. Unless they're not actually interested in getting new fans, just screwing over what they already have.

>>153193438
I have fond memories of getting together with all my friends for a big movie, but now it's over $100 to take 4 people to see a movie, with two popcorns and 4 drinks. The communal aspect loses its luster when the cost is that high.

Most theaters have given up on doing bag or pocket checks, so yeah... But a big buttery bucket of popcorn is so nice, isn't it? Even without it, you're paying 15-20$ for tickets and fees where you will have at least half an hour of ads, while surrounded by people who have no fucking consideration or care for your viewing experience.

No matter how you put it, the bottom line is they took this opportunity to boost indie animation at the cost of fans getting spoiled and having bad experiences at theater. They can dress that any way they want, but the finale will be ruined by hundreds or thousands of fans who will not be able to get their tickets. Even if somehow they make it a worlwide release, it's still just for 3 days, so those screenings will get filled. People on the US who want to see it won't be able to if there's no more sets available. This will be an amazing experience for a few and horrible for many.
I understand it's a big decision, and I can already see headlines of "indie darling SMASHES box office records worldwide". Maybe it is worth doing to push original animation, god knows money is the only way companies learn anything. But they are doing this at the expense of fans who won't be able to see it. That's just the truth, no matter how pretty you want to paint it and how awful theaters were to deal with, nobody forced them to do this deal.
I don't hate them or anything, but I do think they're very naive. Too naive for a big studio working on the internet, they MUST have known how people are.

I would be surprised if she doesn't have that in the works already. Amazon is making movies now, her show is popular enough to get into Broadway (one day only, but still) and she's been in a lot of meetings that tease big projects in the future. If TADC gets a movie, you bet you'll see Hazbin doing it too.

they're gonna just encourage big names to mask their releases as indie titles like fucking videogames do. people touted that dumb Dave the diver game like it was a sleeper hit indie that got global recognition and it was backed by fucking nexon, a massive powerhouse publisher. I think all this is gonna lead to is big studios making more shell companies to release shit under pretending it's underground and indie.
it's honestly arguable if glitch even qualifies as indie now. this is absolutely not opening the doors for some no name project to randomly get big theater releases and it's naive for anyone to think it will.

Eh, most likely scenario is that this will cause Glitch to grow to the point that they're very much not indie anymore, and a bunch of "indie production companies" are gonna crop up all over the place (spearheaded by anyone even mildly connected to animation).
There'll be a LOT of slop as a result, and the only things that will see any form of actual success is stuff produced by said companies (but only the ones that they give actual support to).

>>153192909
Indie animation has been a serious, critically respected medium for decades before YouTube existed. Don Hertzfeldt, Persepolis, Waltz with Bashir, Bill Plympton, the entire Annecy festival circuit; work that the film industry has taken seriously on its own merits for years. It has real artistic credibility that was never in question.
So Kevin acting like Digital Circus getting a two-week theater window is some watershed moment for indie animation isn't just self-aggrandizing, it's straight up ignorant. Digital Circus is a fun algorithmically successful YouTube cartoon, that's it. Conflating that with indie animation as a category doesn't elevate YouTube content, it just reveals he has no idea what indie animation actually is or what legacy he's claiming to be part of. If anything he's accidentally insulting every serious independent animator who built that credibility without needing to write a press release about how they're saving a medium.

Didn't Scarlett Johansson do that with Disney+ and Black Widow? Putting it on streaming at the same time = fewer people go to expensive theaters = she loses money. I think that was her reasoning anyway.
>>
>>
>>153194201
This was at the tail end of Endgame. RDJ’s agent asked for X% of the profits and made millions. ScarJo asked for the same profit model for her movie, which released during covid, and that obviously backfired.
>>
Here's what's kinda scary for me. Unlike box office numbers that are public, streaming data is controlled by your streaming services. Who gets to define success? If only the platform sees the real performance data, which could be framed as a hit or a flop depending on what data is shared, creators don’t know what truly works. One entity controls creation, delivery and evaluation.
>>
>>
>>153194423
Yeah there's good reasons why movie theaters could be better for the industry then have it completely dominated by streaming companies. The movie theater model has plenty of flaws but at the end of the day it's simple and what defines success and failure are clear.

If they decided to have it release in cinemas after it comes out on YouTube, all this drama would have been avoided. It really takes a huge amount of mental gymnastics to try and defend them for a decision like this.
>>
>>153194295
That's not quite an equal comparison. For Black Widow Johansson had a similar structure in principle but then Disney changed the release strategy. It didn’t “backfire” because she copied RDJ, it failed because her contract assumed exclusive theatrical window and box office as the main revenue driver. Disney’s hybrid release split the revenue stream. Some money went to theaters and counted towards her bonus and some money went towards streaming which did not. You’re right that Covid reduced theater attendance but the issue was more that the rules were changed AFTER a deal had been made. RDJ’s situation was different. He was arguably the face of Marvel. Endgame was a guaranteed global event with all the build up it had had. And there was no streaming conflict at the time. The lawsuit was basically “if you change how the movie makes money, you need to change how I’m paid.” And this is telling, she did end up getting paid more after the settlement. Which suggests Disney likely recognized the contract mismatch or at least wanted to avoid setting a legal precedent.

They can't do that so it seems your struggling to comprehend theaters don't just air everything unless they believe it will make money. This means they aren't going to air something that's currently free on YouTube.

Youtube views don't pay that to even began to cover production costs. Merch on the other hand definitely is funding the show but GLITCH is probably concerned about revenue after TADC ends. They need to collect as much capital now so they can live through a potential drought of success.

In my head indie animation has always been a big part of internet culture, using modern technology to circumvent the restrictions of the television and movie industries in order to get their work directly to audiences.
So the idea that they've been trying to get their work into the theatres just seems antithetical to the entire spirit of indie animation.
>>
>>153194816
You do know they get ad revenue per view (CPM-based), right? Episodes can hit 50M–200M+ views. Typical animation CPM (what YouTube pays per 1,000 views) ≈ $2–$8 after YouTube’s cut. So say 100 million views at $3-$5 effective CPM. That’s roughly $300,000- $500,000 per episode. If a video really overperforms, it could go higher. Compared to big animation studios Glitch costs to operate are way lower to begin with. YouTube is not the full business model true but it's the engine that brings the audience in.

Feels deluded to act like this is doing more for them than it is for the theatre. The whole reason the theatre insists on a release gap is because they’re threatened by the indie format. Cinemas are dying, being Weekend At Bernie’s’d by superhero movies. Getting asses in seats for literally anything else is a huge win for THEM. Glitch has just offered up TADC as a sacrificial lamb for a dying industry because they’re blinded by xillenial nostalgia and are somehow under the illusion that being in theatres means you’re relevant. Meanwhile they were changing the fucking game by getting half a billion views on a pilot and strong arming Netflix into being allowed to air episodes AFTER they hit youtube. I just can’t see how this is anything other than a huge step back and loss of faith in their own business model.

They REALLY don't want to be an indie animation studio, huh? There's genuinely no justification in this PR memo besides "we can make even more money" which sure that's reasonable, but don't pretend like you're trying to make it accessible when you're doing the opposite of that. And to those saying "erm can't avoid social media for two weeks???" Genuinely? You probably can't avoid spoilers for the biggest indie animation project of the decade's finale for two weeks. Looking at trends of very popular pieces of media getting early/limited releases, there's usually a contingent of people who go around posting spoilers literally anywhere they can. I know many of you are too young to remember the dudes shouting the ending to Harry Potter IN the lines to buy the book. It's not a HUGE deal at the end of the day, but I think it's pretty naive to say "just stay off social media" to this.

Audience experience isn't important; showing they can potentially rake in a solid sized box office so big studios and distributors will work with them and make them no longer indie is what's important.

Believe me, many tried even Don Bluth, but at the end of the day you must suck corporate dicks to produce your movies. And unlike tranny slop, old productions had a somewhat cultural impact that REALLY shakes big industries but not for them to bow down, just to better themselves or buy the competition.

>creator-led storytelling
WHAT? how are mainstream cartoons already not creator-led? do they think the WB executive board members created Steven Universe? the only valid difference at the end of the day is that industry animation has a stable budget. indie animation doesn't need to play on theaters to feel like real animation when they have youtube doing a better job reaching people. this is simple indulgence and a cash grab that defeats the benefit of their whole independent scene..

To recap from previous threads:
> Releasing TV show finales in theaters is obnoxious and I don't want to deal with that
> It would be different if it was a supercut of the whole series in movie format, possibly with a couple of additional scenes either as a bonus or to help with the flow of the story
> This is 100% Netflix's doing since the "release a TV show finale" thing was their idea in the first place with Stranger Things. Everyone correctly called it out as a horrible idea they didn't want to see happen again so now they're using Glitch's "we're just a wittle indie studio with dreams!" excuse as a shield to normalize this horrible idea. They have a distro deal with Netflix for TADC this was no question their doing.

Well like he said some theaters didn't agree on 2 weeks gap because the longer it runs in theaters the more money you make. Some of them pretty much owned by the same corpos and it was easier to get in touch with and organize shit and others not. Some of them in such bumfucks like Russia where you can't even do shit. Everyone is so fucking greedy, shit is nuts.

WOW! Thats a great idea fuckwit. Do you know what Stranger Things and Netflix have that allows that? Industry Legitimacy!

You stupid fucking retard! This is why they are trying to push for this and why they could only narrow their windows down to two weeks regardless of the popularity. If TADC was owned by Netflix then they might be able to, but other than that their up shir creek and have to paddle with their hands!

Yes, every country beside Poland is a shithole with half of Africa LARPing as native europeans. UK is the worst example, even other muslims in middle east are afraid to visit it because their own worst scum is living there

Yeah, the industry will most likely ignore them, not only for being indie but for not falling under the American sphere of influence (Australia). But by no means will they see them as an enemy or even be threatened by them.
Independent works really do not affect the bottom line of mainstream media, because your average consumer isn't going to drop mainstream media for indie, they'll just add the few popular works to their catalog (if at all).
Plus, they also know that the vast, vast, VAST majority of indie works couldn't possibly compete, because only the ones connected to a production company (GLITCH, Spindlehorse) will actually see any amount of success. And those are like two steps away from not being indie anyway.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that Goose only writes the main overarching plot (most of episodes 1, 7, 8, and 9, everything that has to do with Jax, with the sprinkling of LORE in the rest) while everything else (adventures, etc) is done by Glitch.

>What the fuck am I supposed to do with my life besides the internet?
Find something. Anything. Community involvement/charity. Part-time work. Talk to your neighbors. Go on a hike. Find a new hobby or book club.
The internet only represents itself. It doesn't represent actual life in the real world.

They say this will be a big step for indie animation, but I can't help feeling like we were sold out for a few bucks. I mean, the whole point of indie animation on the internet is that it's easily accessible to everyone.
>>
>>153199215
And then what? Will they give us an incredible series that will make us love its characters and story, only to then tell us that we can't see the ending unless we pay? Or what if they start charging us for episodes just like that bitch Vivziepop did with Helluva Boss?
I don't feel like getting excited about anything anymore because I feel like as soon as I like something, they'll find a way to ruin it for me one way or another.

Open AI was a nonprofit.
I just barely understand the posts articulating the idea that they would just be honest, like that would in any way be in their interest. You know that would lead to boycotts by a chunk of their core demo. They need a narrative to not sour every fan on the move.
Complete speculation territory, but beyond the cash, the other motivator would be the vanity/prestige of having made a 'film' aired in cinemas.

People assuming that this is entirely on glitch and that there are no other parties to put blame on are being real asses and I don’t appreciate what that does to my boy’s reputation.
Direct your angry tweets at AMC and showcase more and make them less exclusively targeted at glitch.

You know what's funny, is that this probably wouldn't have been such a shit show if the episode only came out in theaters and it was a proper global and accessible theatrical release. I'm sure there would be people mad that it's no longer free, but I think more people are mad about how inaccessible this is.

I really want them to be fucking successful, not because them but because how this will make other indies to give it a try, make multiple sacrifices and taking loans solely to crash and fail colossally

These greedy fucks don't understand that this is going to RUIN the indy animation scene entirely.
But fuck everyone, greedy capitalist fucks have to try to become greedy capitalist fucks. Even if it buries the series, eradicates the fandom, and kills the industry it started.

Except you are full of shit, they are doing it for the money.

The "Big Step" turned out to be charging people for something that they used to get for free.
Glitch jewed out and now wants to start charging you, so expect subscription fees for YouTube slop in the coming months.

Not really an enemy to them, Hollywood traditionally never ever wants to acknowledge anyone who is not a part of their super special exclusive inside circle. They act like networking with THEM is the biggest, greatest achievement anyone can possible make. and anyone not in their little circle is a pathetic loser waste of time filming home movies in their mom's back yard.
This includes all non American studios and productions too. They look down on a Japanese movie the same way they look down on some student indy piece of shit filmed in the park. Everything not made by a major Hollywood director and major Hollywood producer is Kickassia to them. Just a groups of idiots in Spirit Halloween costumes fucking around in the park with no idea what the hell they are doing.

I think it’s cool that it’s coming to theatres but I’m also now a bit more anxious about it, every episode up until this one I’ve watched comfy at home with my mum, with the captions on, able to pause and rewind if we wanna see stuff again. Theatres kinda make me autistically uncomfortable, it’s claustrophobic and dark and loud and I don’t like the smell of popcorn and I can’t take a piss without missing something, and all that’s distracting to me from the actual show. But I don’t wanna miss out…

Despite their copout answer, it could have been done several other ways while keeping to the spirit of advancing their company and not fucking over the fans. They act like they did everyone a favor with the two week thing, but that's just as advantageous to them as it is to the theaters.

I feel like if I was able to dodge resident evil 9 spoilers for like two weeks then anyone can pretty much dodge spoilers. Granted I have two different twitter accounts for two different things (one is hyper specific (horse racing) account) and the latter made it a lot easier to dodge.

Who the fuck in Hollywood is exactly calling the shots to ignore anyone outside of Hollywood and America? Are they the executives that manage studios? Or Hollywood itself, like the actual film industry? Who the fuck runs the film industry? Why must everyone who complains about Hollywood be so Goddamn vague and and broad about entertainment?
I only felt the need to bitch about Hollywood because everyone was doing it, and I felt empowered and it's easier than creating my own stories. I also thought I was sexy bitching about corporations.
But seriously, who the fuck is in Hollywood considering everything indie an enemy?

>They wanted to boost indie animation at the cost of Fans
Problem is, they are doing a Theatre release with the absolute worst thing they could do a theatre release for: The Last Episode in a Series.
Fans of TADC would jump for a standalone film, and you could easily market something standalone to non-TADC fans. You can't market the Last episode of popular series to people who've never watched the rest of the damned series, and while you *could* market a Last Episode release to TADC fans, you could easily have it be a simultaneous release in order to appease them. I might've decided to watch it in my local theatre if they did a simultaneous release, but I certainly ain't going to for something this stupidly managed.

I think it is less about the theaters and more about showing kikes in Hollywood that their monopoly is done and will continue to be done until they make something that people actually want instead of their typical propaganda. Digital Circus isn't the best thing ever but it is miles better than whatever goyslop Hollywood kikes have been pushing out. The last good western cartoon that interested me was Over the Garden Wall

TADC fans are in a better place than ATLA. I wouldn't blame anyone for jumping ahead and watching the Aang movie since it's 6+ months away, but TADC can deal with 2 weeks offline. It'd do them some GOOD, in fact.

I'm just going to play single player video games, read physical comic books, and do any errands I need to the day before the theatrical debut. The hard part is that I won't have a ticket until June 5th, a bunch of stuff filled up because I was busy food shopping when the episode 9 trailer came out.

>>153194988
If this theatrical release is a success, maybe they'll try making a movie exclusive for theatres in the future. I can see that happening.
>>153195054
I've read that fans are planning to start a campaing of fake spoilers to counter the inevitable real ones. I wonder how that will evolve.

It could happen. The show has a simple enough artstyle, and AI slop is getting pretty good.
I think an even better plan would be to leak ACTUAL spoilers, but falseflag it by making an AI slop version and mess spreas the fake clip. So then when someone spoils the inevitable "JAX WAS THE REAL VILLAIN ALL ALONG" or whatever the big zinger is, people will say "Convincing, but I saw Jax's fingers melding in that 'scene' you guys fell for slop".

glitch's entire claim to fame is proving the merchandise crowdfunding model for animation. if you strip everything else away, developing and maintaining pipelines for animated internet shows is why they exist
i don't believe they are simply awesome or benevolent people, it's just a good bet and people who aren't glitch affiliated will benefit
look at iron lung, however it works in practice mass showings are possible, and there is some sort of appetite for this on both the theater and audience end
if every indie animator with enough of a net following is able to have a nationwide/global showing of their film available as an option to them, and it's a huge social event for young people, that would be pretty cool
all that would be missing atp is for theaters to not blow in general, which is maybe the fairest criticism of this entire thing. sticky seats messy floor sassy highschool workers
