Samurai Jack has some really high highs, so I'm hesitant to say this so quickly, especially since Primal isn't even done yet.
But it definitely is a serious work of animated art. It's a masterpiece of visual storytelling, and you really get to notice this without the dialogue. So much is conveyed visually.
Honestly, Primal has shown me that there's a huge extent to which dialogue is superfluous in cartoons. Genndy's cartoons always manage to bring this out, but Primal is the most powerful example of them all. Why do we need all this talking in cartoons? Cartoons are a visual medium, they can tell their stories with far fewer words than most of them actually have. You see this in so many of the great Disney movies, too, the visual storytelling. I hope future animators and directors are watching this and realizing that they need far less talking to tell their story than most modern cartoons have. Like, fucking Steven Universe has WAY too much talking.
>But it definitely is a serious work of animated art. It's a masterpiece of visual storytelling, and you really get to notice this without the dialogue. So much is conveyed visually.
Genndy said The whole reason he created samurai Jack was because he was kind of sick and tired of the plot in action cartoons getting in the way of the action. So he wanted to create a show where he could have the character pretty much just fighting for most of the time he was on the screen.

I had to beg my brothers multiple times to watch it. Each time they made fun of me and refused to watch it. Decided to just force them in to watching it by connecting my laptop to the TV in the living room. Started watching it alone and then when my older brother walked in he saw it and was instantly hooked. Now that I had him on my side my younger brother caved in and watched it. He too ended up loving it.
Bunch of fags my brothers. We go through this shit every time I find a show worth watching.

Is it possible for something to ever be considered high heart when he also has a caveman and a dino beating the crap out of giant man eating vampire bats?
Nicholas Flores
I think it's the intent. Maybe contemporaries of Botticelli thought " The Birth of Venus" was too vulgar, but we see it as pure art despite it being being composed of half-naked figures.
I really don't care for Samurai Jack. Should I try this?
Hudson Cook
The show is all style over substance which isn’t bad except the style is dogshit, and the characters are boring as hell on screen. And WHY DOESNT THE DINO HAVE FEATHERS?!!!
They actually were planning to give the Raptors feathers for the Blood Moon episode. The only reason they did not was because They didn’t have the animation budget to make them look right
Brody Garcia
You should try it regardless of past titles you've looked at
Apply yourself

I don't know what it is about Dune and it's mythology, but it tickles my pink every time. Definitely doesn't fit this world, but the implications always fascinate me.
Isn't the current discourse that only small dinosaurs close to birds (raptors) developed feathers while larger species didn't need them? Along with practical animating factors like mentioned?
It goes back and forth, some say they didn’t because like large mammals, more covering = more heat = bad when you’re in a arid environment and it was hotter back then, but feathers have more uses than fur/hair, because they could’ve been for display/ intimidation. Honestly we don’t, but person i think big feathered fucks are cooler and interesting to look at. Plus the current Dino models are shit because not many actually account for fat and muscle tissue, notice how every Dino is designed so their skin practically skip locks around their bones and that’s not animals work, so it’s very real that Dino’s has cartolige protrusions or chunky in some areas that completely change how we currently know them to look

Maybe? There is a reasonably unga campaign but little else besides and depending on how you like your vidya it might run old fast
