>>14081092 >the first show he produced is a huge success >got quite some artistic freedom at first >groundbreaking (or at least unusual) animation >fired after the 2nd season >tfw Faust got the same treatment from Hasbro as John K. from Nickelodeon I wouldn't go as far as to say that John K. is the greatest of his generation, but at least the one who set up the trends in the 90s. Too bad he never got (and never will get) the potential to produce more in a network/toy-based industry. Somehow, I'm under the impression that when an animator finds a golden mine, he ends up killed by his employer, fearing that he wouldn't exploit this mine properly (and yet, they end up turning the gold into lead). Better be mediocre in this industry to survive, the less noises you make, the better your chances. --- Damn, it feels like you guys never watched and loved a TV series or a cartoon. Are you just bandwagoning or something? This guy here is a wannabe animator and sure has some standards and emotional involvement in what he loves. If there's one thing such people value, it must be the respect of their art. And there, with MLP, we have yet another example of the unsolvable conflicts between creatives and executives. If you wanted to make yourself a career in this industry, you would probably perceive this tension and kind of hopelessness in the face of economical interests. If you don't feel it, it's not a mystery that you don't understand this move.
