Zeurel is an animator's animator. He's a super geek who notices all the tiny things that make great animation great and is able to masterfully implement that sort of microscopic attention to detail in his own work.

Unfortunately it seems that when he watches other animated productions, his attention is so focused on the actual animation that he doesn't notice all of the other aspects that make it great. The writing, the voice acting, the music, the overall mix of those elements...they all play a part in creating a successful whole.

I think he would do well to hire a co-director or production manager who has more of an eye/ear for those non-animated elements. He can still control the overall vision for the project, but he needs someone who sees animated productions more generally and can point out when certain things aren't working, help direct voice recording sessions, oversee music direction, give Gooseworx someone to bounce off of when it comes to final mix, etc.

Or he can stubbornly go down with the ship. I want Monkey Wrench to be successful, but as cool as the concept is and as great as the animation looks, the other aspects of production kind of drag it down.

>>139489364
Stakes. Despite their simplicity, I like the characters and it would only take a few episodes of character development and backstory to make people relate to them more. The show started on a weak note regarding that aspect, but it's not unsalvageable.
If the show had stakes and given me a reason to care about these character's well-being, I'd be more sympathetic to them. As they are now what do they have to lose? Money? Their problems are on-par with every mook, goon, and disposable lackey that the hero kicks in the face and moves past in fiction ever. Either give them a personal reason for being here or make it funnier, so I don't care about personal reasons.
He used to make funny animations and he makes animations for lythero, I'm not sure how the humor in monkey wrench comes out so serviceable. I'd thought there'd be one knee slapper, but it's all feels like jokes I'd see for bits in-between the funny knee slappers, just gags to pass the time.

The lackadaisy pilot is a fully animated 23 minutes. Most of the people who worked on it have been involved in other indie and mainstream productions. Monkey Wrench totals nearly 40 minutes runtime plus Zeurel has made tons of shorts. Most of the Monkey Wrench crew also works professionally in both indie and mainstream animation.
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>139489364
It’s fine for what it is, I don’t know why everyone here thinks they’re a seasoned critic when it comes to this show. I can’t think of many flaws in the writing for the past 2 episodes besides the main character using spanglish way too often.

NTA but after some drama started where I think Vivzie tried to claim one of Lackadaisy's animators(zebirdbrain) was transphobic over liking a couple of tweets, some screenshots of Vivzie saying actual transphobic stuff started circulating. Many assumed the two were correlated given the timing.
>>
>>139504392
lol @ the haters making shit up again, Vivzie is a huge Lackadaisy supporter, even donated like 5k to their campaign and was basicaly the first name to share it giving them the initial boost they needed. Im not even exagerating when i say that they wouldn't have even achieved their goal let alone surpassed it without Viv's support.

It really isn't, it's really telling you have to try comparing your failing indie toon to an indie toon that's actually successful.

If you have to make yourself feel better by proclaiming the show you like (which is currently failing as nobody is watching it or supporting it) is better than another show - then just know that you look like a delusional nut when you denounce everyone who likes and supports a well-made, successful indie show as a "shill" while unironically shilling for a show that doesn't have the same amount of people enjoying and watching it. I'm sure everyone else must be wrong, and you must be right. Or you're just coping and just upset a show you don't like is better than Monkey Wrench.

>>139505897
The animation of Monkey Wrench is done extremely well, unfortunately the character designs and general art style are ugly and offputting (especially on the male characterd, most of the female characters are passable or good-looking).
The characters themselves are boring and uninteresting (the big guy who's name I always forget because he's that forgettable) or downright annoying (Shrike.) This also doesn't help with how equally boring and uninteresting the actual show is. The setting itself is truthfully shown to be quite cool looking with lots of potential, but Monkey Wrench utterly fumbles at gaining and maintaining the audience's interest because
1. They don't care about the main characters
2. They don't even care about the female coom-potential side characters, which is impressive in itself
3. The episodic plot just doesn't hook the viewer at all. Nobody cares.
All these things get CONSTANTLY brought up whenever Monkey Wrench is mentioned, you acting like everyone is shitting on it with "no reasoning" is sad and bordering on delusion. Maybe if Zeurel learned from criticism and improved after the poor performance of the first episode it wouldn't be such a failure. I'm sorry the show about robots is actually able to learn from criticism and improves constantly, which is why people seem to enjoy it and you hate that.
And I do want to fuck the robots.

>All these things get CONSTANTLY brought up whenever Monkey Wrench is mentioned,
You're the first one I've seen prioritizing coom-potential characters as a big deal, and considering you admit you jack off to the robots that shows your twisted perspective on these.
>learn from criticism
Nobody can gain anything from your criticism. You say it's bad and forgettable but have yet to mention any reasons why. Why are the characters bad, why is it boring? You just say it is and that's it, so what the fuck is anyone supposed to learn from that?

Wow retard, it's almost like all of that flew over your head and you completely missed that I was referring to it being pathetic that Monkey Wrench can't even drum up interest through using coom - which is notoriously easy to do to get easy attention and support for your cartoon show. Monkey Wrench is so boring and poorly done that not even coomers are attracted to it. Cope some more. You're just upset because people lile something else that isn't the show you like.

interrogators identify qualifying words like "actually" "seriously" and "honestly" as red flags. They indicate that someone is being deceitful and are often added to sentences in an effort to make the statement seem more truthful.
A person who confidently believed this would simply say "that's because it is", not "that's because it *actually* is".

>>139509501
I do want more original shit and I will continue to watch Monkey Wrench episodes if they continue coming out because I want to support original indie animation. That said, I will also continue airing grievances when people ask what's wrong with it. Monkey Wrench has several critical flaws that anons seem to unanimously agree with.

I think most people want this show to be successful which is why criticism seems to be oddly constructive considering where we are. It's possible that either Zeurel is unaware that these criticisms exist, or simply unwilling to stray from the staunch vision he has, but the simple fact is that the show is failing on it's own merits. It's not a failure of networking or visibility or other external circumstances...it's just not very entertaining.
>>

Your bitching is honestly pathetic at this point. Didn't you bring it up in the first place and compare the two shows? I'm not even a huge fan of either, but one is successful while one isn't - and you're complaining about the successful one because the one you like isn't doing well or being watched by many people. Grow the fuck up. Quite a few anons have explained their criticisms of Monkey Wrench here, and also explained why it isn't doing well or gaining an audience. Zeurel refuses to learn from it. This waffle about other shows is sad.

>>
>>139506148

I agree. I would say it's like those dispersion triangle things. You could also view it as a series of gates:
>First gate: Characters are bad. Shrike is not an owl like his name. He looks like Earthworm jim with his head blown off and he acts like a crack addict. Beebe looks like a Minecraft character that was realistically rendered as a joke. Then you put in your first and only episode a naked bird character whose gimmick is screeching annoyingly, which is what Shrike does, so we get two loads of that. You cant have a show start where so many characters are irritating. Th well designed second bananas only highlight that the show could be better, which is even more irritating.

There is also the thought that its artstyle and themes are way out of style. The grungy scifi thing have been better accepted 30 years ago in the 90s. No one likes grody now and scifi is exceptionally dead now. It's well done but it's not playing the game.

At 39:31 he is asked how many episodes he wants in a season and he wants 10 - 12 episodes for the first season at least and 5 seasons.
What the hell you can cut that shit down to one season if you get rid of the fat or maybe two seasons.

>painful dialogue and humor
Subjective in the Pilot, tone and dialogue massively improve by Ep 2 and beyond due to focus on the mystery plot rather than quirky meta humor.
>Annoying edgy MC
Angsty yes, but people find her cute. I don't find her annoying but that's your taste.
>Boring music
Literally just wrong, the music is absolutely excellent especially for an Indie webtoon. What are you even talking about? This shit bangs.

Everyone knows he's a competent animator. Nobody ever said he's a competent show runner. The guy is fucking retarded, and it shows with how hard he's fumbled this show already. A shame too, it had so much potential.

>it had so much potential
Did it really?
>>
>>139513098
I mean, yeah? The setting itself is pretty interesting, there was big potential for an actual story with a good cast of character's people would like. The problem is that all the interest is completely squandered, because Zeurel has absolutely no idea how to attract or keep an audience. I don't even think he knows what audience he wants. If you look at all other currently running indie shows that are actually doing well, you can clearly see how they are produced to attract a target audience. Who the fuck is Monkey Wrench for? Fans of Zeurel's old funny animations? There's not that many of them, too niche for a large enough following for a fully produced cartoon show. I don't think the guy actually knows what he wants, and that's the problem.
Both >>139490556 and >>139491265 sum it up pretty well.

There's been plenty of valid criticism of Monkey Wrench since it came out. The last thread was full of it and hit the thread limit.
>>
>>139505897
It's not totally terrible. It has a lot of competence in some areas (especially animation), but some other areas are lacking (writing in particular). As the end result, it's too average to catch people's attention. That's a serious issue. The show must be able to capture an audience and generate income. If it fails to do so, there's a possibility that they can't afford making more of it. Zeurel himself has said that the show isn't getting as much attention as it needs to get: >>139509501

Since the show's creator brought it up, it's relevant to discuss why the show isn't more popular, and what could be done to increase its appeal. Spotting flaws and fixing them is always an essential aspect of improvement. A lot of the criticism that I've seen is made by people who sincerely want the show to become a success. I don't know why there are so many anons in Monkey Wrench threads who take the criticism personally and try to argue that the show is fine as it is.

Is....Okay, in all reality the most outputting thing was
A. Zoomer humor
B. "Umm..So that just happened"
But they deminished slowly, so it was only really noticable during the first episode. But with the more serious change to the series, the tonal whip splashbecame far worse, so i guess a teeth for a teethIn all reality the only thing the series manages to capt my interest, is that his creator has done some schizo stuff, so i want to see the eventual tone shift

I wonder if the guy who voices Shrike is aware that he, personally, is responsible for the single worst part about Monkey Wrench, or if there’s some cognitive disconnect where he believes everyone who complains about his god-awful voice acting “just doesn’t get it”.

Doing stuff because you want to rather than appealing to the audience is true creator kino, you’re lame as hell if you think a show sucks just because it’s not appealing to tumblr.
And face it, that is what the popular indie cartoons are doing. You can like them if you want, but the tumblr appeal is in their DNA.
>>
>>139513340
You’ve failed to mention any actual criticism beyond “it’s lame”. That’s nothing, you may as well not even be posting. Last thread was the same, a bunch of coomers pretending to be critics complaining about vague shit that leads nowhere.
This mental illness is specific to this brand of anons, just some weird freaks with hate boner for Monkey Wrench. In every other indie show there’s actual complaints but here it’s vague ass shit that barely counts as criticism. Almost like its a bunch of failed creators who want to punch down another unpopular work to make themselves feel better. Just sad.

There's been plenty of it from the last few months, especially in this thread.

Interesting how Zeurel cocksuckers whine about how everybody's a hater and that there is no real criticism of the show but fail to actually answer the criticism when its posted.

Why are Monkey Wrench hyperstans like this? They whine and complain about how nobody is watching their show and blame "haters" and when people point out the many things wrong with it they sperg out and start blaming MDfags or Vivziefags or Lackadaisyfags or whoever the imagined enemy is today.
Monkey Wrench is a bad show, full stop. Zeurel himself is complaining about it being a failure >>139509501 None of the people ripping into it hate it, they simply understand that its not a good product. The fact that people like you cant understand that or refuse to acknowledge that and just stick your fingers into your ears and go "HATERS MDFAGS VIVFAGS" thinking that any criticism of the show is orchestrated by some shadowy enemy just shows how braindead you are.

>>139513825
I guess Monkey Wrench is small enough to fly under the radar, but I'm pretty surprised that nobody has called him out for being problematic yet due to his use of Mexican caricature.
Also, someone should tell him he'd look a lot better if he just shaved his head and grew a beard. His little comb-over hat is hanging on for dear life and it's time to put it out of its misery.

It's nice to do your own thing. But if there's money involved, you still need to think about who's your intended target audience and how to get their attention. Otherwise your project's gonna be facing an existential threat. If a show doesn't appeal to people, it won't have fans who are willing to pay for it. This means the creator will eventually run out of money, which will force him to end the show.
I suppose some people might think that it's glorious to be a starving artist whose vision is so amazing that nobody understands it. But I don't get the vibe that Zeurel wants to be one of those. He wants the show to be more popular. He has said so.

I'm kinda wondering if this anon was correct >>139513427
I struggle to remember any other /co/ properties where people are so defensive and oversensitive about criticism. If those anons are working on the show, that would explain their reaction.

I know it sucks but zeruel shouldve absolutely made smaller shorts first to gage interest before committing to this huge expensive pilot. Theres plenty of others who went that route instead and it works. Hell, chkng ngt did nothing but tiny shitposty shorts, and now has a full season deal after continuous popularity proved people will watch.
Liam vickers did a whole pilot solol, but outside of that he had a tony of short voice only stories and storyboarded animations. He isnt known for parody works but was doing original stuff from the get go and really built his image at being able to create such stuff, and its why murder drones was such a success.
As far as i know zeruel never really did originals before monkey wrench.

That's nothing. Your continued seething over some random show is what's funny about all this, not Monkey Wrench being some darling show worthy of being defended. This type of autism is hilarious regardless of what show you'd be attacking.

I've never seen Murder Drones or participated in any discussion about it. I don't know anything about it and can't comment on it at all.
I don't think anons hate Monkey Wrench. It's more like they're indifferent and apathetic towards it, or disappointed that it's not as good as they were hoping.
However, if you continue promoting the show this way, I think you might actually make people hate it. Is that your actual goal here?

Classic schizo.
It's not about praising it, it's about your seething hatred for it being odd and retarded. You just say the characters suck but don't mention what about their writing and characterization sucks, you just say they suck and that the show is a failure. That's not criticism or anything worth a damn, you're just moaning. And you've acted with a huge ego over it. If you actually explained any specific reason why the characters don't work or plot is dumb, then fine. But you just say vague shit and act like that's "criticism".
I think the show is fine, it wants to be a space comedy and it does that job well enough. It's not amazing and it's not above criticism, but your type of hatred is so autistic that it's just pathetic.

“mediocre” doesn’t automatically mean “bad”, I know misuse of the word has made it a synonym for “bad” but thats not what the word actually means. Middling, median, right in the middle.
its a perfectly fine series but /co/ tends to overhype any competent show and make it sound like some mind-blowing triumph when most of the time they mean “it was good”.
I tend to ignore anything /co/ hypes up because half the time its garbage and the other half its just fine with some issues.

It's a proposed indie animated series loosely based on a spoof detective/noir world. No, it's not black and white or gritty. Yes, the characters are kind of bubbly in shape and bright in colors.

It got some backlash on /co/ because Alex Hirsch and Tara Strong were brought on board to voice characters which apparently is a bad thing? Some people incorrectly assumed this was Hirsch's project. There are like 1 or 2 reeeally dedicated 'spergs who really love shitting on it. One of them who was especially vocal about how much he hated the art accidentally doxxed himself and, surprise surprise, he is the world's shittiest artist and a furry (notable because nearly all of his 'art' is yiff-related). Pic related...it's one of the rare non-explicit drawings but they're all of similar quality.

It's hard to say how it will end up, but I'd like to see at least one episode. I think the idea has potential.

If someone draws an anthropomorphized character, that does not necessarily indicate that they are a furry.

It didn't get crowdfunded, but apparently it's still in development and it has since been changed into a musical, and since not a lot of people like musicals nowadays. I hope the creators behind it make it fun so audiences will have an interest in it.

>>139520360
Okay.

Eldritch Horror kino created by Liam Vickers (the guy that created Cliffiside, Internecion Cube, and wrote a bunch of stories for his old channel Scary Story Time with Liam), initially disguised under a straightforward premise of cute robots trying to survive against murderous monster vampire robots (that also happen to be cute). The plot evolves into a mystery the characters have to figure out, as it's gradually revealed that the initial premise of the show from the first episode was a complete lie perpetuated by the true antagonist of the show that is manipulating events behind the scenes - an Eldritch deity / god / abomination that wants to consume the Universe and everything in it.
Watch until Episode 3 if you want to get the entire gist and decide whether it's for you or not.

>>139520360
Shows initial premise is worker robots live on an exoplanet abandoned by humanity due to nuclear winter or whatever. Human central command finds the planet again and fearing the robots have rebelled, send in dissasembly robots. Worker robots hide in bunkers from the vampiric Murder Drones Attack on Titan style.
Or thats what it seems like initially, the show is densely loaded with information and rewatching episodes is a good idea. Also it has a lot of insane superpowered cute girls, which was the specialty of its creator back when he was writing creepypastas

>>139519576
>>139519648
It's in production. I think the current plan is to use Blender to cut down on animation costs. There is a musical number planned but it's hard to say whether it will actually be a full-on musical or if the tweet that the creator/director put out was hyperbole.

I kind of hope it doesn't end up being a full-on musical. I think a rare musical number like early Bob's Burgers was kind of fun, but now that they have a song in nearly every fucking episode it just feels unearned.

I still haven't gotten through Centaurworld because the songs in the first few episodes just obliterated the momentum and took me out of the moment.
>>
>>139519907
They're different shows and I like them for different reasons. It's hard to pit them in a grudge match and I kind of don't want to.

I'm the most eager to see more from Long Gone Gulch. Zach and Tara do really cool shit and I really want to see what they could do with a show of their own. I also wouldn't mind seeing more fun series set in that olde western town type setting. The desert is an underappreciated landscape for animated storytelling.

Kevin Temmer. And what's wrong with using him? He's one of the best 3D animators out there right now. Not like they would be able to get him anyway, he's too busy animating for Murder Drones and Amazing Digital Circus.

>>139520690
It might be a little of column A/little of column B. I think some of the initial 3d/blender stuff was done by a fan, but they've since been brought on to actually work on the show. How much of that stuff is actually going to be used in the series is hard to say.

I'm also waiting to pass judgement because I know that 3d/blender stuff can look completely different once it's fully textured/shaded/rendered/filtered, etc. Blender put out an official animation with two of their proprietary characters recently that looked insanely good.

>You know theyre going to shove in as many songs as they can
We'll see. At the very least, if they insist on having musical numbers hopefully they actually get musicians to write them. This whole trend of 'someone on the animation team who plays guitar, has a microphone, and is "pretty good" with garageband' writing songs for productions is getting really fucking old. The songs end up being really boring and cookie-cutter because the person doing it has an extremely limited perspective of what music can be. Hire someone who actually knows what the fuck they're doing.

Half the posts you linked aren't even about Murder Drones, they're about a different show you dipshit. If you don't even know what people are talking about, why complain? Thread's dead anyway.

What is the general consensus on the best and the worst character of MonkeyWrench? A lot of anons have said Shrike is the worst but I actually really like him and think he's charming. Plus a good chunk of the MW fanart I see is of him anyway so clearly he isn't that bad.
>>
>>139523742
His design is clearly based on Vash the stampede but that doesn't matter because Vash's design kicks ass and I want more characters that look like him. His personality isn't irritating to me but I can see why the general consensus is he's annoying

He reminds me of jet from cowboy bebop

I don't think I'll ever get used to it. It's incredibly grating and the cartoonishly mexican-isms don't add anything to the character. Giving him an accent or having him speak spanglish is fine since it makes about as much sense as an alien speaking english with a midwestern neutral accent, but the actual voice actor needs to be replaced with someone who can see the character as something more than an Adam Sandler sketch.

He must be a personal friend of Zeurel's or something because I don't know how the fuck else he booked that gig. This is the same sort of thing that brought down Final Space when Olan Rogers cast HIMSELF as the main fucking character. He was clearly the worst actor of the ensemble and because he was the lead it just absolutely destroyed the fucking show. At this point it seems highly unlikely the voice of Shrike will be replaced so I guess that's that. He'll continue to act and people will continue to complain, and eventually the show will shut down. Perhaps Zeurel will have better luck with his next show.
>>
>>139524423
Only 20 seconds of that 2 minute video is animated, what animation there is in that video is of a character sitting behind a desk not doing anything too hard to animate. Also, Zuerel animates all the promo videos himself. He needs the money to pay other animators to work for him so he won't have to do more of the work himself so he can get it out quicker you retard.

Vivzi said really shitty things about the Lackadaisy director behind the scenes. Screenshots were leaked and she was caught with her pants down, so instead of apologizing, she made a grand donation to cover for her gaff.

Team Lackadaisy didn't want to accept the cash because by doing so they'd implicitly be excusing her behavior, so after failing to convince her to take the money back, they simply rejected the donation.

It's like if someone walked up to your wife in a bar, smacked her in the face, then bought the two of you drinks. Would you graciously accept the offer just because a drink is a drink?

I kind of feel like it's all unreasonable really, the show only has 2 episodes out now and MANY shows don't get going well into the middle or late into their 1 season or even second (like Bojack).
I think people really should wait to see more before getting their pitchforks out, episode 3 could very easily be the real beginning of the actual "story" of Monkey Wrench.

...or not, whichever comes first.

I think it's nice that independent productions are banding together and trying to lift each-other up. That's how it should be.

I honestly don't get the ridiculous tribalism and it's 100% being pushed by a few bad-faith 'fans'. Actual rivalries are extreme outliers, and for the most part people want to see their peers succeed. Success for one independent animation means the path is cleared for success of more.

No, people will discuss what they want especially when the discussion is about general indie animation. If someone asks for information about something they'll usually get an answer. Stop being such a crybaby you little faggot. You can choose to ignore a chain of replies of anons discussing something and look at something else instead of sperging out about it. Also no, read the posts you linked. Half of them, 4 of them, aren't even about Murder Drones as the subject. Absolute bumbling autist, you lack the basic reading comprehension to even get what you're crying about correct.

Someone who doesn't sound like a parody of Cheech Marin meets Adam Sandler's Goat character. The fact that the character is supposed to have a mexican accent or speak bits of spanish is fine and an idea that can really make this character unique, but getting a white dude to do a really awful caricature of the aforementioned influences was a bad way to go.

His voice could be less...shouty? Less gruff...maybe a bit smaller. Like, not twerpy, but a bit more smooth. The character is skinny and waify, but he is excitable. His voice should be a little nerdier and maybe more collected when he's not losing it so when he goes off the contrast is funnier. Oddly enough, Lackadaisy does this really well with Freckle. His meek demeanor contrasts well with his slightly unhinged ultra-violence mode. Shrike's voice, on the other hand, is like a white guy's parody of an angry mexican. I think it would work better if his character oscillated between cool calm collected and a little suave to kind of losing it but not in a loud fucking Adam Sandler goat way, but just kind of a bit more unhinged...muttering to himself and getting faster in his speaking so you know there's a storm raging inside, but he's kind of keeping it barely reigned in (until the few moments when he really goes off half cocked). It would make those moments feel more like an event instead of the guy who is always fucking annoying just being more fucking annoying. I don't have a lot of references in my back pocket because acting isn't my thing, but tone-wise maybe like a slightly deeper version of Ignacio on Better Call Saul with more of an accent and slightly more neurotic. Kind of suave and faux confident and tries to act like he has things together, but you can tell he's a ball of nervous energy.

cont.

I'm not an actor or a vocal coach or a director so I lack the expertise to create a voice for a character and lack the vocabulary necessary to describe what I think could work better. That said, I don't think I have to have that sort of background to be able to have the opinion that the current voice just isn't working. I don't have to know how to bake to know that a loaf of bread tastes bad, nor should I be expected to know how it could be fixed in order to be able to have that opinion. As a single consumer, all I can say is that it tastes off. It's up to the baker to check out the loaf and decide whether they want to do anything about that.

It's entirely possible Shrike is exactly how Zeurel wants him and if that's the case, c'est le vie. But I'm far from being the only one who hates the current voice so I think it's at least worth consideration.
