People bring up how they already had merch, but it's there to help fund the show. You do realize sales are how cartoons used to sustain themselves, right?

>>150778929 (OP)
I don't know what this is

>>150778929 (OP)
That Glitch Direct was wild:
>KoG's pilot was a success!
>In the background, screenshot of the pilot on youtube with 13 million views or so
>On an unrelated note, if you want to see this show at all, ever, please please please buy KoG merchandise because we need to offset production costs somehow
>No pressure, though.

>>150779695
It's weird that Owl House never got if any merch. But KoG seems to have merch planned.

Yet art is still being made. Here you are, doing nothing productive.

>>150780210
Because Disney wanted it(Owl House) to fail.

>>150780210
because funding the owl house for disney was just a drop in the olympic swimming pool for them. for glitch, a company which i'm certain has a chaotic and unsustainable workplace behind the scenes, the funding foe guinevere is gonna be about half of their swimming pool, especially cuz its 2D, and the people inside the pool are swimming so frantically all the water is somehow ending up OUTSIDE of the pool

In the end the Walt Disney parody was White instead of Asian, so Xwitter was right

Use your brain, anon

>all the water is somehow ending up OUTSIDE of the pool
If things go down south, they might as well walk back on the whole 'we allow creators to end their shows on their own terms' bit and go back to fleecing dronetards.

When, exactly

>>150778966
>People bring up how they already had merch, but it's there to help fund the show. You do realize sales are how cartoons used to sustain themselves, right?
This. Had KoG been a "30-minute toy commercial" from the 80's or 90's, people would endlessly complained about it being a glorified toy ad without realizing the success of the toys can prolong the show's run. While there were some meh or crappy "30-minute toy commercials," claiming the entire genre was trash is awfully dismissive.

>>150779695
i find it hilarious how they need fucking merch of retarded looking plushies to fund the next episodes instead of just getting a budget

>>150779695
>>150784436
I just saw the pilot and I couldn't help thinking how funny it'd be if the "Gisnep bad because muh soulless cheap merchandizing" show had soulless cheap merch they vigorously shilled
Is there any acknowledgement of the irony, I wonder?

If you wanna talk flops go look at Loki IRL and Homestuck.
The only true winners of the indie scene are TADC and Skibidi Toilet.

>>150784436
Inorite, just go out there a find some funding laying around.

>>150781390
That's how it all started you have no idea what you're talking about.
The entire 80's and 90's, and even the 2000's a cartoon was only as successful as its ratings and toy sells. It takes money to make any show. So you're either a kid or a fucking dumbass either way get the fuck outta here

Subjective

> Worst performing Glitch pilot

While that may prove true in time it's also been out the shortest amount of time of any of their pilots so that may not be a terribly fair estimation thus far. Statistically every new pilot is going to be the worst performing up till it can catch up with it's predecessors.

> tranny boycott

Oh no, how will they ever make it without support from 0.06% of the audience who have historically proven utterly incidental in the performance of media which panders to them?

> not greenlit

None of their shows are ever greenlit beyond the initial pilot (except for maybe Digital Circus, though I'm not even sure of that) with Gaslight District only recently getting confirmation well after the pilot's debut. In the Indie Animation scene, at least with Glitch, funding can be precarious and has to be carefully planned out to measure demand and avoid shortfalls.

> pls buy more merch

That is how Glitch funds virtually everything they do since Youtube Ad revenue is not enough to support these projects. As someone pointed out already, it's ironic that old 80s cartoons are slammed as toy commercials, though merch does pay the bills and its the failure of realizing this which has resulted in collapse of the industry animation scene over the past five years. All of Glitch's shows are heavily dependent on merchandise sales to go forward and with Gaslight District and Knights of Guiniviere being prohibitively more expensive to produce than previous projects this stands even more so.

I mean that's how Star King is funded, or are we suppossed to hate that show too?

>>150781390
We let the "brilliant artist" types run things.
Now look at it. Faggotry, loser problems, and on screen masturbation with them tossing bitch fits when told theur shit us trash.

Nine if them live in a society where their art id head to any standard because many are nep babies or they are told LOL ITS JUST KIDS STUFF so they were left alone.

The toys and merchandise both sells shows and necessarily grounds these retards. Pulling their heads out of their ass and out if the clouds.

You need to msje something that people will buy and want to be a part of. Not trash for your tiny incestuous group of fucktards.

Abd no. Twitter isn't the real world.

Youtube recently cracked down on bot viewing and additionaly no longer counts views from people with detectable forms of adblock or whose views can't be monetized so all channels get less views than they did before. Oddly though, that doesn't necessarily mean less money since the views no longer being counted typically weren't eligeble for monetization even before the change.

>>150786911
Until they crackdown on AI channels instead of flooding my fucking recommendations I dont give a fuck.

>Frogcel still seething over Dana's fat girl cock
Kek. As the Frog Father would say: Fuck men

>>150786871
Frankie is cis so troons on Bluesky are mad

>>150786954
They purportedly already have started doing that, though it's the AI ads listed as videos which irks me.

>>150786971
Why are you implying that Dana is trans?

>>150786911
>no longer counts views from people with detectable forms of adblock
So the views of anyone not clinically retarded are no longer counted, good to know.

>>150786517
I think the point is that shows that had a budget because they were toy commercials actually had SOME kind of budget so they could advertise the toys, and if they were good at it they'd get more of a budget to make an even bigger show and tell more stories (sell more toys)
Indie stuff like KoG or any person who immediately starts shilling plushies for whatever they do isn't thinking ahead or has no real plan. They're unironically doing what soulless corpos do where they try too hard to strike while the iron is lukewarm and expect their thing to sell gangbusters just because. It's a lazy cash grab simple as

>>150787470
All of Glitch's shows have been funded this way. Alot of other indie animations like Space King are also funded this way. When you're an independent operation you don't have access to corporate production pipelines so everything has to be funded on site.

Not to be rude or dismissive, but I honestly think you're either not smart enough to understand how this actually works or are willfully ignorant to how indie animation is funded outside of kickstarters.

How is this show any different than Gaslight District which has operated identically in terms of merchandise and funding?

>>150787470
Then what plan should they have had? A GoFundMe? Do you not understand how indepdent shit works? Should they have gone outside and shook the money out of trees?

Again the point of indie shit is that you're not dependent on corporate money sources and funding. You gotta pay for this shit somehow and merch has been the most viable solution for animation.

>>150787557
So its basically using artists to make ovas that are really just commercials for their brand and toys.

Explains their treatment of the transfaggot who made the digital circus.

Problem is that they can only run through so many talent. The hot tomboy artho Dana's latest work wasn't given enough scrutiny to have legs. They just wanted to use her and spit her out.

Unless its a mutually beneficial thing where they get more product and creative gets more exposure.

>>150784436
Part of their costs comes from the Australian media fund, but to make multiple shows come out as good as possible, they need some extra pocket money
