>>25538332
Inb4 medusa turn into a princess
>>25538332
Wow Lauren just walk out of another project halfway though after thowing a temper tantrum when it gets "too hard"
>>25538332
Why? Why would she do this?
>>25538332
i wonder what thing she would do if she were in charge for once?we don't count

>what is creative integrity
>>25538395
>>what is creative integrity
Something that's not compatible with today's entertainment industry.
>>25538395
I'll cite Lucas as an example of how something can turn out much better when you have someone "holding you back" as opposed to "unfettered creative integrity"
>>25538411
Then good artists should quit in protest just like she does. Until they do, nothing will change.
>>25538442
That's called having someone "propping you up".
>>25538462
>>25538411
>Tartakovsky and all his shit
>Kojima/Guillermo del Toro on Silent Hills
>now this
fucking industry
>People doesn't sell them to tjhe shitty industry
>OH NO HOW THEY DARE DO THIS
Are we so full of shills? go back to the paperwork, faggots.
>>25538462
>just quit
Then nothing will happen. Better to have a filter on things at times instead of a stream of shit coming out.
>>25538489
Kojima was a retard with his budget, though. Mocap and a new engine for a game, seriously?
>>25538332
This is going to look mighty bad on her resume.
Who is going to employ her now? Or does she hope to make bank with TFH?
Dream on.
>>25538503
He was a brilliant motherfucker though.
>>25538395
Sure is creative when you never finish a project.
>>25538491
>>25538462
I understand the point of creative integrity and I understand how shitty the animation industry can be, but sometimes you have to make these sacrifices if you want to survive in it. If Faust keeps on quitting jobs because of her respectable and admirable principles, I doubt animation studios will continue hiring her or letting her pitch projects.
I want to see more of her work and her creativity. It seems the only way for it to really shine through is if she starts her own studio and works independently from major companies. Considering her business expertise, I don't know if she could handle it or if it will happen.
>>25538503
Why wouldn't you go all out when you know fit a fact the game is going to be a guaranteed hit? It's a metal gear game. They can afford to splurge.
>>25538332
She need to work in the lore of TFH, she don't need that movie. TFH will be the next big franchise in the future
>>25538545
kek
>>25538395
Artistic integrity is a respectable thing, but no one ever made anything exactly the way they wanted on the first try. You have to be willing to adjust your original plan, and with Lauren backing out of two projects in a row, she's starting to appear inflexible.
>>25538535
Honestly, if half the fucking world did the shit she did, we wouldn't be all owned to hell and back by the fucking mega corps now.
>>25538332
Fuck.
Sweet Lauren. >:(
>>25538545
That's the funniest fucking thing I've read all day. Thank you, anon.
>>25538462
>Then good artists should quit in protest just like she does.
Then someone else who IS willing to take orders will just come to take your place and nothing will change and you will be an industry pariah.
You can't create change by throwing up your arms and leaving all the time when things don't go your way. You need to create change from within, like how Meghan is doing. She's going higher up, and will actually have a method to influence future directions of the business.
>>25538566
what was the other one?
>>25538535
This.
>>25538574
That's true but we unfortunately don't live in that kind of world. You have to play with the cards you're dealt.
>>25538494
What will happen is they'll be forced to hire some hack who will do whatever they say. Then the project will flop because they hired a hack and they might be forced to reconsider whatever limitations they put on Faust.
>>25538530
>>25538521
It's a thousand times better to walk away from a bad fit than have a shit project staining your resume.
>>25538535
What we should really all do is find someone who might be interested in investing in here, and spam them with mass e-mails to show them that she already has a dedicated, rabid audience that will at least cover the overhead of their first project, giving them time to build up a name.
>>25538566
You're imagining her storming out of a room of polite, reasonable creative types just because she can't deal with other ideas. Her work history doesn't support that. It was much more likely a room full of suits pointing to the scenes where they want the merchandise.
>>25538596
Go to bed Meghan.
>>25538530
>Sure is creative when you never finish a projectdont talk shit about me, fagget
>>25538503
just look at Far Cry 3
>>25538596
>You need to create change from within, like how Meghan is doing.
>like how Meghan "every little girl wants to be a princess" is doing
Fuck the fuck right off. She isn't going to take a single risk that threatens her meal ticket. She's going to baa along with the rest of the herd, and you're going to sit right there and keep on gobbling up her shit.
She'll never make her dream project if she doesn't just bite the bullet once in a while and do what the studio wants or at least come to a compromise.
Figured it would happen. Tartakovsky left his Popeye movie.
>>25538619
>le ebin don't believe her lies maymay :DDDDDDDDD
>>25538332
lol what a foggot
>>25538640
>if I call it a meme, that means it isn't true!
>>25538619
>>like how Meghan "every little girl wants to be a princess" is doing
Not true. Even Faust said that quote was taken out of context by retards like you.
>>25538640
>supporting Trump
>>25538612
>What will happen is they'll be forced to hire some hack who will do whatever they say. Then the project will flop because they hired a hack and they might be forced to reconsider whatever limitations they put on Faust.
>implying it will flop because Faust left
I'm sure you know that nobody wants to hire someone who's prone to leave at the drop of a hat. She had it and lost it.
>>25538535
>If Faust keeps on quitting jobs because of her respectable and admirable principles, I doubt animation studios will continue hiring her or letting her pitch projects.
She can still be a leech working in the cartoon of his husband, after all a lot of faggot think that she is the real creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Working creatively is about compromise...
Maybe now she will have time to do some actual fuckin lore on the game I backed.
>>25538663
Faust is a nice lady. Hell of a lot nicer than I am. She was standing on her friend's side even after her friend basically said "No, your way of thinking is wrong and dumb".
No one took ANYTHING out of context. Meghan said what she said, and Lauren chose to defend her friend rather than her own philosophy.
That's why I love Lauren so much, and it's why I'll never forgive that horse-faced cunt.
>>25538689
Yeah, like that is making her any money...

Maybe you can tell us about some of your recent projects
>>25538566
tell that to this guy >>25538613
>>25538636
Some day he will be able to finish something, some day...
>>25538332
When it happens once, you can presume that there were some differences and difficulties regarding various parties.
When it happens twice with the same person involved, you start to connect the dots and realize who the culprit is.
Someone need to make a medusa pony turning into an alicorn
>>25538687
This. Sure artist integrity is important, but if you want your work/project to get even better, you also need to be able to listen to feedback.
>>25538612
>What will happen is they'll be forced to hire some hack who will do whatever they say. Then the project will flop because they hired a hack and they might be forced to reconsider whatever limitations they put on Faust.
Even hacks can make profitable movies. They wouldn't chalk it up to "We can't make any money unless we have those specific people".
And you know who would probably not quit? Younger, upcoming creators who don't have an established history like Lauren and the others have. The kind who are willing to work with the studios because that's what you do when you don't have enough pull. And the kind who can still be talented enough to actually create something good or even great despite what the studio is asking.
>>25538737
Why would I break NDA on something not finished? You're silly, anon.
>>25538746
Fuck off meghan
>>25538750
>you also need to be able to listen to feedback
No shit. It's when the feedback is "let's make character X look more like our badly-designed toy and let's make generic princess #328 have a dark and swarthy love interest" that people start getting miffed.
>>25538737
Some of us have jobs that we may not like, but do anyway because that's life
What was the "other" project she also left?
>>25538703
wow that's delusion level badass
>>25538757
Yes I'm sure it's coming along nicely :^)
>>25538771
Boku no Pico.
>>25538757
Not finished = doesn't count. Will count when finished.
Show us your finished works.
>>25538767
Jobs which are not creative and have no place in the discussion
>>25538776
I don't think you're telling the truth
>>25538771
>>25538766
>"let's make character X look more like our badly-designed toy"
She forgot she was making a 20 minute commercial for a toy line. That's where her view got skewed. You don't change a company's entire product for your own benefit just to tell a story. You work around it and with them. Compromise is key.
>>25538766
Someone who doesn't have their head in the clouds knows how to fight and balance.
>>25538750
To be fair, I think said feedback most likely consisted of "This isn't girly enough!" or something along those lines, or some other form of "feedback" of similar caliber.
I mean, I can understand where both are coming from. Companies do want to make sure they profit from the things they invest it, so it's but natural that they want to go with what is the "norm" to increase the chances of the movie becoming a success.
I do think Faust can compromise, but the clash most likely had something to do with ideology of wanting to bring more variety in female characters, which I think is a good thing even if I aint a feminist personally. More variation in characters is always nice I think.
>>25538686
I can't blame those anons. After all those cartoon are girly as fuck. Same happened with wander over yonder, look more that a work of Lauren. Probably those cartoon where created by Faust and and her husband just use that idea to make every cartoon, after all the mens have less obstacles in the animation industry
>>25538767
Why have you wasted your childhood not learning stuff you like to excel in it now and get nice jobs then, faggot?
>>25538810
I'm not takling about Pony. This guy said "with Lauren backing out of two projects in a row" >>25538566
She left Pony in 2011 and this just happened. I mean, I'm assuming she's done some work in the last 4 years, right? So what is the second "project in a row" she's backed out of?
Faust had to work with fucking Amy Pascal. The lady who wanted pony Smurfs. So I imagine that it was hard to work with Sony. She probably would really want to go back to Hasbro now...
>>25538789
How about you first then? What recent finished project has come to fruition from you? If something in the works doesn't count, let's hear your side. Or are you just barking at the wall now?
>>25538823
Sometimes you have to work from alower position to be where you want to be. Employers are looking for experience rather than degrees these days
>>25538766
Sure, I didn’t say you need to apply every piece of feedback you receive. However I'm slowly getting the idea that miss Faust is sometimes turning her back to criticism and feedback to easily. There's no prove who's right and wrong in this conflict though.
>>25538817
Yeah I could see that being possible.
>>25538817
It was more than that.
Lauren spoke about some of the worse offenders at a panel with Larson, stuff that made her mad included:
- Hasbro asking to shoe-horn Pipsqueak in because they wanted a little boy character even though the script was almost finished
- Hasbro hating everything she did with Luna saying "this isnt funny, no kid will find this loud character funny" and also complaints she was too dark
- Complaining everytime any slapstick violence happened
- Flat out shoving her in a tiny closet as writer room even though Pound Puppies staff had a much bigger and proper room that was always empty because both teams had different schedules yet Hasbro didn't let them use anyway.
And more. Hasbro treated the staff like shit.
>>25538840
I don't claim to know the industry, so that's hardly relevant....but if you really need to know, I just got first steam revenue from my story driven game this month, and that's just the most recent finished project.
She put fart jokes in the latest TFH lore.
>>25538863
Faust had a workflow method that wasn't standard
>>25538737
First maybe the people who are saying Lauren's completely in the right should tell us about their projects.
>>25538857
That's why use your childhood and learn while in school, then you start working part-time the same time you go to college, so when you graduate, you have plenty of experience already.
>>25538886
Which is...?
>>25538896
That's retarded.
>>25538863
Well, that fucking sucks, though sadly I doubt it's unusual in that industry but I assume shit like "Don't do slapstick violence!", Luna shouting and shit being too dark having a lot to do with MLP intended audience being girls too. But again, I can see where the company is coming from, being afraid of losses and possibly blowback from parents complaining about violence in a girl cartoon.
>>25538921
>>25538896
Not really if TFH is mostly aimed for little boys being a fighting game, which also watch ponies.
There is plenty of porn for the broknees out there so why not throw a bone for kids?
>>25538896
Not only that, the inbred dragons are a pretty shit idea overall.
>two species in one
>"Which one do I honor?"
>"Choose!"
>"Which one?"
>"Pick! It's for honor!"
I'm guessing they tell others to fuck off if they pick the 'wrong' one or something. I couldn't read anymore of that shit.
>>25538913
...irrelevant. I don't know animation industry, so I don't claim I do, unlike people quoted in >>25538737 (which wasn't my post, btw)
>>25538932
Because it is lazy writing for lazy humor. It honestly makes it seem more childish than MLP having extremely stupid characters to the point of ridiculousness and having gross out humor.
>>25538925
Violence concerns is fine.
Throwing people in a broom closet and being flat out abrasive (she mentioned it was a particular exec that seemed to just dislike the show for no reason) is not okay.
>>25538896
You are joking right?
Remember the mails leaked from Sony about the 2017 MLP movie? Now imagine having to work with that kind of people, and them having a bigger say in your project than you, despite not really having anything to do with the project besides being affiliated with the studio, possibly through company name only.
>>25538952
>...irrelevant.
As is the rest of your post now. So you really don't have anything, huh? Just trying to blow hot air.
>>25538967
She isn't well known for her writing, but for her good designs.
Or did you all forget about that?
>>25538989
As much as you say that, Faust tends to have some really bad ideas.
>>25539001
Just like you then.
She created a runaway hit and left just as it was picking up steam.
If she really had integrity, she would have stayed with Pony and helped mold it. Instead, she quit early, and the true irony is that the subsequent staff were given the freedom that Faust wanted in the first place. Shoulda stayed in the fight.
What habbend to Galaxy Girls?
>>25539020
^:) If you say so
>>25538989
I bet they asked if she would work on the love action MLP Pascal wanted
>>25539025
Exactly. Meghan remained loyal, and she was rewarded.
>>25539001
I don't have any real way to back up my claim in this anonymous forum anyway, that's why it was spoilered and marked as irrelevant back in my first post.
You're however trying to defend some points that are made without any backing up, so it's up to *you* to somehow prove them right. Otherwise it's all bullshit!
>>25539046
>turning into the official hasbro bitch

>>25539054
>you have to prove it after I made a bogus claim
Yeah, sure, anon. Keep thinking that. I already stated I can't break an agreement. So what's your game?
I feel bad for Faust, but I mean, leaving two big projects in a row is bad news bears for any creator.
>>25538332
... fuck, I was really looking forward to this
>>25538395
Fine, but too many "creative differences" and she'll just be seen as hard to work with and she honestly might have just barely enough of a resume to justify it.
>>25539071
Why don't you go fund your Mom's next failed project?

>>25539072
Since you have difficulties in reading, I'll repeat: I don't need my points to be proven, cause I haven't made any :^)
You did, so where's your proof? Why should we care about anything you say if there's none?
What's McCracken been up to these days? Just WoY?
>>25539106
Is that still running? I thought it wasn't renewed for another season.
>all those critic to mom
Hasdrones: the thread
>>25539126
Explain the terrible storytelling with TFH!
>>25539137
They just wave any criticism away with a "b-but mom never had to work without a TEAM before!!"
So, she drops another project. Alright then, how long until she can't get a job in this business now? I'm going to laugh if this takes off like MLP did and she gets left in the dust once more from something that turns out great.Probably be she stopped fondling it.

Why do I feel like people had enough of her feminist shit and maybe told her to tone it down. She through a tantrum about misogyny, then stormed out.
>>25539251
naming every simple place baaaaah is bad and lazy tho
>>25539251
>town is Baaaa
Not even creative.
>>25539156
She could have taken feedback from the devs.
>>25539262
She create this episode, literally a kick in the boobs for all those fake feminist. she would never try to being like those SJW
>>25539265
>>25539266
Confirmed for having no experience with sheep. Her take on their "culture" is probably the funniest thing she could have done with them.
>>25539251
Having a race of characters who are too retarded to really survive is a bad idea.
>>25539291
>lol they are stupid
>lol towns are called baaaaah
such great and well thought culture
>>25539291
It's not even funny, though. Also, what does having experience with sheep have anything to do with making a fictional world that has some that talk? She could have at least tried and had them in the Baaahamas or something. She seriously just stopped trying.
>>25539156

>>25539412
At least I put more thought into it than she did. Who honestly thinks the game will take off anyway? The community will be as barren as she is soon enough.
>>25539289
That was part hyperbole, realize.
However I don't see what else could have happened. She doesn't seem to have any other big problems. So what's the deal?
It also looks bad when she keeps walking like this. People on here can "muh integrity" all they want, but if you don't stick around and finish some projects to put on your resume, that shit will follow you. Business is business. Most people stick it out and fight for their vision, usually they can get most of what they want. And for what they don't get, they can come out later comment on being held back. But at least they did something.
Faust has done nothing of note herself except for MLP. Credit where it's due, that show was a runaway success. However she didn't mold it as it kept going. She left. All other things she worked on were thanks to her husband. They were his projects. This was not a smart move.
>>25539352
You didn't read that lore, did you?
>>25539520
The sheep were retards, I didn't get why that was a good idea at all.
>>25539289
didn't she regretted about that episode or something?
>>25539502
You did put more work into it m8.
>>25539536*didn't she regretfuck
>>25539536
Yeah people complained and bitched, then she apologized.
She's weak in the knees. Can't stand by her vision when she makes it, and if she can't make it, she walks.
>>25539489

She did SBFF --- they were only shorts, but people seemed to like them.
>>25539551
People are complaining about TFHs lore. Why is not she fixing that too?
>>25539564
>mfw she won't be involved
>>25538332
I was at CTN this weekend. She said publicly that the new leadership at Sony did not like the project
>>25538332
God she's such a hacky cunt. I hope she dies so we stop talking about her. Everybody does everything better than her
What is the possibility that this could even happen to the TFH project?
>>25539585
> TFHs lore
> in any way important
> implying she even fix it when writing is her biggest weakness
>>25539578
Yes, but they weren't anything worth mentioning, and they didn't do much of them. However, I won't blame her for that one. Cartoon Network didn't handle the DC stuff well at all.
>>25539536
She regretted it only because she got so much shit from feminists for it
>>25539620
Holy shit that would destroy her career.
>>25539620

I can already see how her childhood was.

She can take feedback, she can get a damn editor.
>>25539629

>>25539201
>sheep puns
Just like horse puns in S1 of pony?
Nothing wrong with that. It's a bit cheesy, but that's all right.
>>25539678
Thing is, the pony stuff is creative. No town is just Neigh or Whinny. They're play on actual names. With TFH it's just Baaah. That's it.
>>25539678
They weren't even sheep puns.
>>25539676
They could have done it themselves, probably would be better than her writing anyway. This isn't a goddamn cartoon. Just whip up some flavor lore and call it day. Jesus Christ.
>>25539251
Sheep puns are great, I agree with ewe.

Because she actually don't care about the project. I bet that she think that the project will fail and she would be free like a hero that try to help and now she is trapped with TFH team.

>either be michael bay or be nothing
>>25538596
Die in a fucking fire you goddamn piece of shit. The show sucked ass since Meghan took over.
It could be good if they unleashed Larson, but it will never fucking happen.
>>25539717
Someone suggested the idea of the characters being cereal mascots.
>>25538596
Hi meghan
>>25539771
We had Larson this season and he was still shit.
>>25539448
Note how Disney hasn't said anything about whether or not they'll let Hirsch cancel it.
>>25538332
All this cunt does is piss and moan when it doesn't go her way she leaves
>We discussed this before
But seriouslyshe can go fuckherself
>>25539158
>Glad to see her great storytelling of fart jokes and a race of retards will be explored in TFH. Faust is SO great without any creative restraints.
>>25539844
Literally no one can defend her temper tantrums
>I will be surprised if someone did though
>>25539809
Really, faglord? Because he was in what, like, 4 episodes?
And Meghan made the show appealing to your dumb asses. I remember it still back on /co/. So, don't fucking talk to me - unless you were with the show form the beginning, you are PART OF THE PROBLEM.
>>25539868
No your wrong because your opinion is stupid
>kill yourself
>>25539886
>>25539868
The show got objectively better after Season 1. Tough pill to swallow, but it's the truth.
You oldfags are fucking pathetic. I'll readily admit the show has had dips in quality, and there have been undeniably shitting happenings. I'll also admit that Meghan has a lot to do with it. But this idea that S1 was it a category of it's own for being that good is garbage, and demonstrably false.
>>25539894
Damn, I feel enlightend
>Thank
^:)
>>25539868
He was story editor for 12 episodes and all were badly made.
Do you bother reading before talking? You'd cut out a lot of second hand embarrasment if you did simply that.
>>25538332
>muh creative freedom
Ran away from ponies and now this. Hope she never gets work again.
Wait, why do people still idolize her?
>>25540012
because people are retarded faggots.
>>25538750
>feedback from corporate management
>actually heeding the opinion of plutocrat inbreds who inherit their position through heritage
Did you fuckers forget the part where Medusa was under the purview of Sony Motion Chucklefucks?
Like, you know. The same illiterate retards that exchanged emails like this?
>>25540142
That bitch got fired, though. One person doesn't make up the entire company.
She's getting a reputation now....
Meanwhile in /co/
>>25538545
Great more fart jokes and bad puns.

LOL yeah she got "fired" alright.
If you actually think executives are ever held accountable for their fuckups or are actually capable of decisions that aren't fuckups, I have a bridge to sell you.
>>25538395
i dunno, but they wont give you coffee for it at starbucks.
Poor Craig
Too bad. I was actually going to go to a theater to see this just to support her even though I'm not her biggest fan.
I'm starting to think she's a one hit wonder. FIM was the perfect storm, she'll never come close to replicating it.
>>25538545
Speaking of TFH, someone earlier in the thread wanted to know what a project would be like if she had complete creative control.
Considering she's completely designed the characters herself and the lore surrounding TFH, I think we can point to that as an example.
If Medusa is still released I'm betting we can find the exact point where Lauren threw her hands up and resigned.
I'm betting they wanted Medusa to have a love interest.
>>25540182
I don't really look too far into that shit anyway. Last I heard was she got fired or whatever. Good news is she isn't touching the movie. That's all that matters to me.
>gets along with fans
>gets along with animators
>gets along with management
>healthy womb that has birthed two children
>>25540227
>healthy womb that has birthed two children
I like you.
Should she crawl back and beg for her job back? I'm sure Meghan will give her one or two episodes to write as a freelance writer.
She'll be right below G.M Berrow in the pecking order.
>>25540142
>Who is shining armour? Is all this gonna make sense to anyone
>Is all this
Jesus fucking Christ I've read more coherent English from a fob Mexican busing tables.
Maybe it's no wonder she's had "creative differences." These faggots sound like they have zero reading comprehension.
>>25540244
I doubt Hasbro would want her back. She'll just quit again the second that say one thing needs changing.
>muh freedom!
"It is bizarre, but on the board that must not be named, everyone is bashing Faust. Here, on the other hand, are more people bashing Sony. Has Sony really killed more animated projects than this due to being retarded? I'm out of the loop."
- /co/
I miss that place
>>25540248
>Who is Medusa?
>Is all this gonna make sense to anyone
It could be worse, she could've been filmed urinating by a brony.
>>25538332
it's never too late to give up on your dreams
>>25540319
That might put her in a more positive light, actually
>>25540248
To my knowledge between this unprofessionalism and the Sony leak that lead to us getting these emails, they dropped Sony as distributor and went with Lionsgate.
Considering they were mostly using Sony for advertising and distribution, I think Sony is completely out of the picture of the 2017 movie. Thank God.
That Amy Pascal lady seems like the most unprofessional twat. Most of her emails end with "Sent from my iPhone".
JUST
Imagine if Lauren had stayed with MLP.
>showrun for 6+ seasons
>write and direct MLP movie
>eventually get promoted as head of storytelling for Hasbro
If she had just been a bit more patient and suppressed her ego and "principals" this could've been hers.
>>25540343
I should add, if she doesn't quit part way into that, too.
>>25538332
I realize where I am, but serious question: I wonder if they still would have fired the director even if she fully complied with everything Sony asked for. When this was announced, this was exactly the sort of thing many people feared happening. Sony tends to replace directors frequently on their films, this is known. Was Lauren uncooperative, or does Sony even know what it wants?
>>25540377
>fired
Good one.
>>25538462
This is a job. You need one to live comfortably in modern society. If all artists just quit then they wouldn't get money. It's not difficult to do understand.
>>25540244
>Lauren
>Writing scripts
She might honestly be better as a replacement for Sibsy as storyboard artist.
>>25538384
Could she quit herself?
>>25538545
It is so terrible though.
>>25540194
Dat file name
>>25540413
>Lauren storyboarding how episodes look scene to scene
>Makes sure there aren't any human poses in the pony cartoon
That actually makes perfect sense.
>>25540431no
>>25540293
Then why don't you keep posting there? This isn't pony news, it can go there.
>>25540362
It's impossible to imagine that. There is just not a world where Lauren is okay with meddling. She's too fiery.
well well well what do we have here
yet another example of faust quitting something because things don't go exactly here way
Q fucking Q
why is she such a whiny bitch? need i remind you all that she wrote 2 ( T W O ) episodes in MLPFIM. The 2 episodes in question are regarded as some of the weakest episodes in the series (certainly in seasons 1 and 2, which she was a part of)
Why doesn't faust just start her own studio? there's nothing stoping her. All she needs is a kikestarter and she's set for life. Everyone knows about her. Everyone knows she's good at what she designs. So what's stopping her from getting a team and making cartoons? even /literally who/'s like silly filly studios is a group and makes cartoons.
Someone please answer. I'm sure she's been asked before. Why doesn't she have her own studio?
>inb4 2hard ;~;
The thing that always worried me about this project was that in Medusa's original backstory, she got raped in the temple of Poseidon and Poseidon cursed her to become a Gorgon. What would Sony and Lauren have to do to make this family friendly? I could easily see her quitting over this issue if Sony advocated a stupid approach to this.
>>25540194
She's big
>>25539904
Well, although personally season 4 was my favorite, I do think that season 1 had the least "bad" episodes in it, like some in 2,4 and 5 are just absolute garbage
>>25540547
>you see, she got bit by a snake and just like in Spiderman--
>what do you mean "it's stupid," miss Faust?
>...well, i'm an executive and i know what i'm talking about. why can't you just be a team player, Lauren?
>i *know* it'll succeed because Spiderman is a successful franchise. don't you know anything about marketing?
>>25540534
Maybe she underestimates how much money she could milk out of her fans.
It's less money than it was a year or two ago, but she could still probably kickstart any project she wants.
>>25540194
Not that I didn't already know this, but Tara is fucking bangin'
>>25540590
Most of the VA's clean up really well
>>25540547
It was actually Athena that cursed her. Maidens of Athena were supposed to be virgins, so after Poseidon rapes her Athena gets angry.
epin fausthate circlejerk
Are you kids off for thanksgiving break already?
>>25540547
I suppose some accident happens in the temple and Athena punishes her.
>>25540610
TFHs lore sucks.
She could have had the town the sheep in TFH live in be called, "Baaabylon".
>>25540142
Anyone got leaked emails regarding Medusa?
>>25540600
Yup, the three blondes and Tabitha
Sorry Tabitha, I love you in every other way!
>>25540659
>Blondes
Tara, Andrea, and Cathy?
>>25540610
This coming from a toddler that got mad people on the internet didn't agree with him.
>>25538411
It's almost as though we've reached the end of the creator-driven era in TV (and movie, but at least we have TFH, so not necessarily video game) animation.
