Uncommon Nonsense

Patches 959

"I do more harm than good, but that is not stopping me from trying to be good"

Redesigned Patches, finally made his hair make more sense than before imo. Still weird but in a way that I understand it's physics somewhat. I really enjoyed adding the little fur details

Happy Pride Month coming from the closet

The animation feels janky in some parts. It got its ups and downs but it was good. The last performance of Thea White (Muriel's VA, R.I.P) hearing her again was lovely. I was not expecting a Eustace song lmao very in character, I guess that's where the budget went ToT and that one song with the everyone trying to get a hold of the Meteor which is like the usual having song numbers from being chased by the bad guy of Scooby Doo movies but matching the CTCD setting.

As much as those CGI cicadas be wonky, part of me side eyes cuz of the not blending with the show instances in CTCD (like King Ramses, Golem, Harvest moon and etc.) but that's a battle between "seamless or mixed media but work well" me vs. "nostalgic, it a few instances of that so acceptance" me.

I have a gripe that Muriel and Courage don't recognize Katz and Le Quack in the monster reveal. As much as the show is episodic, c'mon ya'll you should recognize them than just learning about them in the movie; hey had more episode appearances than any other villain.

Should've been like those instances where "the gang don't know them but other people do" like that Mystery Inc. episode of the Biker Orcs.

Another gripe was when Muriel just finding out in the tv in the museum surprised like that. Like girl, there were episodes showing you living throughout all that. I'd be fine if she said it like "she knows it's weird here but not that it is notably weird". As well as could've recognize a few of the cameos and relics in the Museum. Perhaps going nostalgic as a nod to be an old show methinks.

Also personal take on the fandom wikis inconsistencies section. I think the Ramses Slab cameo is a replica and that scene of the mayor getting captured by the Cicada Queen was like the costume prepped behind to make the monster legit to fool. But yeah other inconsistency, yeah they really do not make sense.
