Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” is like no other stop-motion film, so it makes sense that its animation process was like no other. Instead of CGI, the movie’s art department made thousands of characters by hand. “[It’s] probably the most ambitious stop-motion film certainly I’ve ever worked on,” says the movie’s head puppet master, Andy Gent. “There’s always a lot of detail … When you create miniatures they have to be absolutely working miniature versions of real life.” Gent says Anderson zoned it on every little thing and made sure miniature buttons, zips, and watch dials all had the details of their real-life counterparts. For instance, Gent says the original script called for a minute-and-a-half sushi preparation sequence. It took seven months to shoot. In the film, a chef slices up fish, which involved magnetizing the already cut silicon pieces to resemble a whole fish. Then, when the knife slices through it, it would open up to the internal pieces, Gent says. It took a lot of planning, testing with paper cutouts and plasticine, molding, plus hand painting to ensure the shot was exactly right, he continues. Occasionally, a sudden change can derail hours of work, like when the team had built multiple gloves for the chef’s hands in the sushi cutting scene, only for Anderson to change his mind about jump cuts. “We’d plan for one eventuality and then it changed around, which often happens. You’d be like, ‘Well why do we need to do this? Why are those the rules?‘” Gent says. “It took three animators because it broke quite a few people to get through the shot. Seven months later we end up with one minute of animation.” ─ Variety

Ditto:

So! On the topic of Octavia/Loona:

'Octavia is 17, that makes her underage!' Ok. She's literally less than a year from 18, and no one said she had to start dating before then or that Loona would hypothetically have feelings for her before then. And before you pull the grooming card, it is ONE YEAR and I doubt they'd be seeing each other frequently in that time, outside of maybe texting. Oh no the horror.

'They're going to become step-sisters/They ARE step-sisters!' There is no confirmation of that. Yeah, probably. Most likely. But you know what could also happen? Stolitz could break up. Either of them could die. They could just.... decide to stay as a casual relationship and not tie the knot. Are those likely? No, but they're possible. Nothing is confirmed, and future possibilities that may not even happen aren't good ground to stand on (also assuming every relationship has to end in a traditional marriage is super tradhet). As for already being sisters.... one, no, two - Stolitz aren't even dating, you know that right? They're fuck-buddies. They meet to have sex and that's it. Yeah, obvious feelings, but neither have confessed and their one date attempt blew up. If you consider fucking a good enough basis for family then you do you, but most people don't go by that definition.

'That scene gave me super sibling energy!' Good for you. Genuinely. I am happy for you. I'm sure that made you very happy. To me that scene was INCREDIBLY romantic from the lighting to the framing to the shots to the actions, but that's me and you're you. I have a sibling and we sure as hell do not act even in the same universe as that, so I'm operating off my personal experience here. The way you saw the scene doesn't dictate anything. Sorry.

why are some people in the helluva boss fandom dissecting the show like it’s a literary masterpiece? it’s a funny animated comedy about demons from hell. the characters are supposed to be toxic and flawed and fucked up.

Yes yes YES. People need to chill out and enjoy things for what they are, aren't you all tired to keep complaining about EVERYTHING? I just think some of you don't deserve Helluva Boss

I ship Loona and Octavia (Loovia?)

That being said, I don’t care if they end up canon or not. I’m not all that invested in this show tbh. I’m only here because Barrett Wilbert Weed is so !!!!! And it baffles me how fucking dumb the fandom is about this ship because they think it gets in the way of their OTP. Last I checked, compared to its literal parent ship, Loovia is the more healthier of the two. Isn’t that what antis want? Healthy shit? In Hell?

The fandom is against this ship for several very stupid reasons:

Solution: they just won’t date until Octy is 18??

First of all, simply meeting someone when they're underage does not make it “grooming.” Second, pedophilia is the specific attraction to PREPUBESCENTS. We’ve seen Via as a child. Third, and most importantly, all children are minors but not all minors are children. If we just jumped from Child to Adult, what’s this “Teenager” thing? Stop exaggerating, it’s not that bad. And last, 5 years is nothing between adults. I’m not surprised it's mostly minors squawking about how even a 2-year gap between adults is “pedophilia.”

For it to be incest, they’d have to be blood-related, like Stolas and Via, and they can’t be. Even without knowing Loona’s adopted, there’s no fucking way Blitz could be her biological dad, not even if they breed like Pokémon and the baby will always be the same species as the mother. (and if that’s the case, why does Octy take so much after Stolas?)

For it to be pseudo-incest they’d have to at least consider each other family and at best they’re just friends right now. Also to make this claim, you’re also ignoring one very crucial piece of information: Blitz and Stolas are not married. And ON THE TOPIC OF STOLITZ

Stolas and Blitz started their adult relationship as AN AFFAIR. They were USING each other, Blitz for the Goetia Grimoire, and Stolas for basically everything else since he sure as fuck wasn’t attracted to Stella. Sex, love, happiness, everything he lacked with Stella, he sought for in Blitz. If you ship this, you’re saying adultery is fine with you, right? It doesn’t take you out of the story for it to exist. Sure, Stolas is divorcing Stella now, but that doesn’t change the fact that when his and Blitz’s relationship began, Stolas was still married to Stella, and Blitz was trying to rob him. There’s Good Cheating and Bad Cheating, I guess, but it’s still Cheating.

Meanwhile, Loona and Octavia have a genuinely heartwarming meeting. They’re two lonely souls bonding over shared parental issues and looking out for one another. It’s legitimately healthy, and a great foot to start off on in terms of a budding relationship, whatever they end up having. They weren’t trying to get away from their sad childhoods, or using each other for anything, unlike their fathers. Loona showed a soft side to her we've not seen as far as I know (I’ve only seen like 4 episodes lol), and Octavia found someone she can both confide in and relate to who’s as directly involved in the daddy drama as she is (that is to say, not very). And people are against that? Are y’all okay?

Again, the main ship in this show is between two males which started off as adultery from one partner, and intent to commit burglary from the other. God forbid women have anything.

In case you forgot, this show is set in HELL. It’s an ANIMATED SHOW set IN HELL. A fictional representation of Hell since we literally can never know what it actually is like and live to tell the tale. Sinning is the name of the fucking game.

For all y’all are trying to purify Hell, how can you hate one of the more wholesome relationships? This show clearly stated it’s for mature audiences, why are there so many goddamn brat kids here?

THANK YOU finally someone said it I thought I was the only one and I started to feel crazy
