âwhy is the among us show actually goodâ âoh why is the among us show funnyâ âoh i canât believe this cartoon is good and not just shitty referencesâ âi thought this show was going to be trashâ
iâm so disappointed in yâall. did infinity train teach you nothing? of course it was going to be good??? itâs owen dennis????? and they let him do whatever he & his crew wanted????? it was always going to be good what happened to supporting animation??????
among us is about the exploitation of poor laborers under capitalism and the way corporations deliberately keep workers at odds with one another to avoid accountability and cut costs. and it is also clearly being a lancing criticism of the animation industry (with themes referencing HBOâs treatment of animated shows, movies, and the creators they threw under the bus and deleted works of, particularly in the Warner bros merger and beyond. one of which being owen dennisâs pervious show infinity train)
and uses its creative freedom given to it by funding backing an existing IP (silly video game) in order to explore these themes in a very not-ironic plot and writing style about little space blobs and also STILL has some of the best animated expression work iâve ever seen.
plus every character is nonbinary. everyone should give it a watch. itâs really funny
I PROMISE IM NOT ACTUALLY MAD ABOUT THE SPACE BLOB APP SHOW I JUST LIKE ANIMATION A LOT
oh god, and i didnât even mention how the show wrapped and then got stuck in corporate limbo for about 2 years before it was unceremoniously dumped onto streaming with not a sniff of warning or advertising to the point where the artists and actors who worked on it didnât even know it was out. đ NO BIGGIEâźď¸
