Doctor Doppler Without Context

Who else wants to help Epic become better known?

I feel like this movie has disappeared within the internet. It literally has NO fandom and very little fanfiction around it. I probably would've forgotten about it if I didn't have it on DVD.

It really upsets me to see comments on YouTube and such that are like, "bro I forgot this movie existed" or "I thought it was a fever dream," and I'm just like:

". . . . . . . . . . . . . . bruh, why?"

I watch this movie at least every other month. It's story is so unique in it's own right and its world is so thought out that it feels so real.

And It's so f@€king pretty!

William Joyce just doesn't have much luck with his movies, does he?

So please; comment, like, and reblog so I know if there are fans out there.

Mandrake (Epic 2013) nominated best animated movie villain dad.

Like holy shit a villain dad who legitimately likes and compliments and loved his son?? With literally ZERO passive aggressive bullshit comments???

Kid was excited to show off his new coat cuz it looked like his dad's and he literally just compliments him?? Says it looks good on him??

More villain dads like him plz

Do you think “Moon Sailor” was a bit, on the nose?

it was intended to be! i made the pilot while keeping in mind that the magical girl genre is actually somewhat niche

i wanted to make sure people like my parents or my girlfriend's law school peers or people who don't watch anime at all could easily follow and understand what's going on. if i asked my parents to name a magical girl anime, they'd be like "what is that" but if i asked them what sailor moon was, they'd be like "oh yeah i've seen those characters before!" sailor moon undoubtedly iconic and people IMMEDIATELY know what it is upon hearing it. "moon sailor" is VERY OBVIOUSLY a parody of that so it's easy to get in that one second of time i have before moving on.

the tricky thing about doing a pilot is the setup and the trickier thing about doing a SUBVERSIVE pilot is that you have to set up what you're subverting on top of everything else. that's why zira's dialogue and language is also a bit expository and on the nose during the "gasp" part. there are people watching who don't know the magical girl genre and its tropes! like how is someone supposed to know that aika anticlimactically poofing into her magical form was a joke if they didn't even know that a magical girl transformation was SUPPOSED to happen? i thought i spelled out hoshi's whole thing pretty well or didn't really need to go that into it but i saw a lot of people confused about what they were and why they were there at all (until zira tells us that they're a magical mascot).

back to "moon sailor," it's a silly one off joke meant to quickly signal to the audience that zira likes manga/anime and the magical girl genre specifically as well as circumvent copyright. i also personally just like on the nose bits hahaha. like on big city greens whenever we parody a brand we usually just put a "B" in front of it. one of my favorite being "blego blocks"

this turned into unsolicited writing advice and definitely more than what you asked for but i hope its helpful to anyone out there looking to make their own shows!! clarity, spelling stuff out and sometimes handholding is important especially in a pilot. even though it can feel stilted sometimes, it's better than completely losing your audience or leaving them with questions. but now that the pilot's done it's job, any following episodes i might make will be unburdened by too much expository language haha

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
