I just want to shoot people with laser revolvers in space while creepy slow ragtime plays in the background, is that so wrong?
reject modernity, embrace retrofuturism
punished gaslamp space opera: a subgenre denied it's autistic cult following
Nobody cares about gaslamp space opera you absolute smelly Victorian gay
treasure planet is the only disney 2D movie that I want a live action remake of, and they're never going to make it...
Man, I don't care if the 3D technically doesn't hold up all that well compared to modern stuff. I love this shit so much.
The movie was shit. I'm sick and tired of you old ass idiots going around pretending this pile of shit is good. You people and your annoying Pro-Disney bullshit.
TP is gaslamp fantasy set in a universe with abnormal physics and aether matter. Makes Star Wars look like hard Sci-fi.
only good things from this movie were:
>captain amelia
>jim's mom
>"I'm Still Here" song montage scene
that's it because otherwise the whole movie sucked.
wrong, bitch. treasure planet had god-tier worldbuilding and a kickass main cast. also
>pro-disney
motherfucker the goddamn chinese communist party could have made this shit and i'd still love it. i don't care who tries to do gaslamp space opera justice as long as they do it the godamn justice
Gaslamp fantasy? is that when they do gaslamp space opera but there's no space? sounds kinda gay, bud.
Your words, not mine.
God, imagine how the world would be if Treasure Planet had been a huge success... How many new series would have taken a page from it's worldbuilding...
I fucking want some Spelljammer here.
OP, is this you?
This guy gets it.
!!!
there wasn't a huge influx of new pirate movies after potc came out
I want my spells to be jammed over and over by pirates
Live action pirate movies are generally a pain in the ass to acquire the resources for. Animation and comics are a different story.
i still sob for a master and commander sequel.
besides, I'm not saying there would be a huge influx, but there would at least have been SOMETHING i mean godDAMN
Being a fan of pirate shit is baroque suffering :'(
The style and worldbuilding was unique and great.
there's something fun and comfy about a universe where space is more like an ocean and as alive as one
and you're able to traverse it like if it were one too
Is this as good as Atlantis?
i liked them the same. worth a watch.
people seem to like the story in treasure planet more, from what i've seen online. critics liked it more too. personally i enjoyed both, but treasure planet is on another level.
damn right, man. damn right. that kind of attitude is what gaslamp space opera is all about!
worth it for
>tfw we will never ever get a another actually interesting animated sci-fi movie from Disney
It hurts bros
That's actually a good thing. "Traditional" animation is absolute trash compared to CGI.
I was actually talking both of them. "animated" doesn't mean traditional animation, you dipshit.
It might be a tad dated but it has more than enough soul to make up for it.
It's the only niche subgenre fiction featuring space warfare where Space Is A Literal Ocean And Spacecraft Are Boats makes sense. LoGH, for all the things it got right, never managed to make this work without making a big ask in suspension of disbelief.
>muh style over substance
fuck off and die
no
>ywn explore the a bright and colourful galaxy with your bros on an open-deck retro spacecraft.
why even set sail
there's nothing else like and yet it feels like there's only a handful of us out here who have realised it
is it bad that I almost wish it was?
i think disney is working on potential sci fi things. interesting on the other hand...who knows
I'm tired of "Yuroop but kooky," can we make a common setting based on something else?
Maybe that's a good thing. Not trying to be an elitist gatekeeper or anything, but you remember how bad, just how god fucking awful the little steampunk boom was?
I fire a volley into the mid port side turbines.
This anthology had 1 or 2 stories like that
Revolvers and Ragtime aren't from the 17th/18th century
this is hilarious, it's like ten different time periods in one
I rode that boom for the funny teas and eventually the resurgence of prohibition era cocktail recipes. Absinthe is a complete joke by the way but those freaks love the bullshit ritual of it.
And the two Quillifer novels are in a fantasy land that is roughly comparable to the 16th century: they have gunpowder, matchlocks, armies are pike and shot formations, combat is rapier & main-gauche
And there is low level magic with a Celtic fey folk in barrows in the first book and a dragon in the second book - defeated with a cannon
FUCK
>steampunk
>prohibition
These people dont seem to even know what fucking era they're supposed to be operating in
They were probably using the fake russian stuff too
None of you will know the feels of desiring Space Cowboys be more popular
I heard that absinthe got trademarked by a company and what's sold today as absinthe has jackshit all to do with the actual absinthe consumed by the dregs of society back then. I can't confirm this but it makes sense. The well-off have always enjoyed larping as the degenerates.
I don't know but there needs to be railing on all those docks, that's a fucking safety hazard. It was a neat movie though, doesn't get enough credit.
If a Disney movie doesn't have a princess that audiences want to fuck, it doesn't get attention.
>Revolvers and Ragtime aren't from the 17th/18th century
neither are fucking bobby hat's but they're in that movie anyway.
I suddenly want to see an astronaut union rep inspecting shit like this and shutting them down for violations
at least firefly is a comparison point most people recognise.
Everything "old-timey" just gets clumped together as one big thing. The old Conan pulps by Robert E. Howard are a good example. Sure it's a fantasy world so the rules go out the window, but he clearly had some expectations of making some world-building that lends itself to plausible coherence. So you've got the roughly late Bronze Age analogous civilizations of the not-Egyptians and the not-GermanoVikings....along with the not-Romano-Franks of the late antiquity/early medieval period. Then of course the most egregious example are the corsairs from the Queen Of The Black Coast, sailing around in ships that are as far removed from Conan's analogous time period as a ship of the line is to the space shuttle. But they're boats and they're wood and they use sail so why not just throw it all in there, it's all "old stuff."
>Whedon
She'll always be my princess
I think dieselpunk fantasy in the savanna would be really cool.
firefly is good and most people enjoy it. here is a cat face also.
