manchildren absolutely MALDING 
as Spiderverse loses the best animated feature award to The Boy and the Heron 
at the Golden Globes.
‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ wins Best Motion Picture: Animated at the #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/LLbEy5zn0v
— Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) January 8, 2024
For those who don't know The Boy and The Heron is the latest Miyazaki film that was released to critical acclaim but tepid audience reaction because it was too "weird". People here are probably aware of the Spiderverse 
animated flicks but not how massively overrated they're amongst online "cinephiles". Not only does this film have a rabid capeshit fanbase but it has also managed to rope in the wokes and the film twitter/letterboxd crowd 
(seriously it was the highest ranked film of all time on letterboxd).
Because Miyazaki's film had a lukewarm audience reception it was a genuine surprise it won over Across the Spiderverse. Suffice to say, these nerds are not taking it well 
. Some of the reactions.
What do you mean Across the Spiderverse didn't win best animated movie at the Golden Globes
__
WDYM ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE LOST ????!!?!? they so wrong for that omg
__
__
Across the Spiderverse was snubbed, wtf is the boy & the heron.
__
you're telling me Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse won…. nothing?
__
__
__
Of course, we also have weebs 
acting smug over this 
.
__
Preschool twitter fighting for their life of Across the Spider-Verse not winning
__
them miguel fics and the yt cop girl with the bang doesn't mean it deserved an award cope and seeth
__
It was basically the equivalent of jangling keys for babies. Except for a certain demo instead
Now, this doesn't guarantee that The Boy and The Heron will win at the Oscars and apparently it only won at the Golden Globes because it has a more "International" 
voting body now. Spiderverse is still the frontrunner for the Oscars. Still, the meltdown would be 100x this if Spiderverse were to lose at the Oscars. Hope they act based for once and piss all over capeshit this year but I'm not holding my breath over it

The best part about this is that anyone born in the 90s should know that its really no surprise a studio Ghibli/Miyazaki film won best animation. Ghibli's Spirited Away was literally the most successful animated film for decades after its release and helped put anime on the map for western audiences as potentially good. Capeshitters in shock that the literal GOAT of weebshit doing a passion project outshined mass produced garbage dont just have bad taste, but have zero knowledge of animated films in the first place.

Every one of ghiblis movies is such high quality work and I hate anime weebshit. Princess Mononoke is my favorite. My kids love that and spirited away. If any of you kings are unsure about weebshit and haven't seen these movies please watch them. Just look at the voice acting credits holy shit. True quality vs capeshit slop.

Decades of detective conan
Gintama and nothing even comes close
Not gay enough to watch that shit
Angels Egg, Mind Game
Ping Pong
Its all been done before and much better than what new studios can even dream of accomplishing. Even the best upcoming show is literally just an ancient butt manga being brought back to life (uzumaki). They keep investing in gimmick because theyre too fricking bland to come up with anything good and original.

I haven't seen the latest Spiderverse movie, but I know the first one basically pioneered 3D animation with handcrafted dynamic FPS. I'm guessing the average professional animator would give it to Spiderverse over Ghibli.

The 2D look on 3D was done already by Peanuts. I'm sure there's a lot of things Spiderverse improved or innovated but here's the thing when it comes vfx/hollywood animation, almost every major release they talk about how they developed a new software to achieve X effect or how many hours it took a specific frame to render.
And then you have youtubers like this who exaggerate shit. Like at one point in the video he talks about how great it is that they have characters properly interacting with the environment like Miles hitting a car or some people in the background while running. That's "great" if all you're used to is cheap and lazy animated works. You have that in dime a dozen Pixar/Disney works that no one even talks about.
Like his analysis of that Jurassic Park 2 scene is nitpicky and I hate that movie. He tries to make every minor continuity error as some sort of scene discombobulating issue. There's a reason he has to pause and go over certain "mistakes" multiple times because they're barely noticeable in motion. Like almost everytime he says he can't see the character, you can see the character and I'm on my phone watching a guy in a youtube vid show it to me on his shitty monitor. Or when he asks where that "door" came from. They're in a place with buildings on both sides and you can see that in establishing shot. Do you need to be shown that specific entrance prior to that shot to not be confused by its existence?
It's not a particularly good scene but his "analysis" is worse and I'm sure he thinks Jurassic Park 1 is well directed even though it contains similar "mistakes".

Good post and thank you for your service as a wordswordswords veteran, I was not going to sit through that shit beyond clicking around for a few things to point out.
Thats an awful take to have too, because it basically means that 3D JUST NOW is capable of doing a thing hand drawn animation was able to do from its literal inception.

You can make a technical marvel (pun intended) but its still not enough to outshine and impress. I dont really care that the camera is its own character, I dont care that MOST 2D doesnt do what a 3D render does more easily (but can still be done with enough work), i dont care about dynamic FPS. When it comes to animation I care about how it looks and how it flows. Id pick a pixar film over spiderverse because it just frankly looks and flows better. Its why Hazbin Hotel was beyond solid, the whole thing just oozed fluid movement on top of a unique enough design. Its also why Uzumaki is going to be anime of the year when it releases, the whole thing just oozes soul and passion and looks great
